《The Graveyard of the Dungeon God》Chapter 8 - A Dungeon God learns how to smith
Advertisement
Marluxia was sitting cross-legged on a submerged platform in the pond. Oscar was laid beside him. The Wicked Snow Snakes almost tripled in these two weeks he was experimenting around with Mana. Almost ever Snake survived only a few unlucky ones died shortly after they were born.
I should learn a few skills why I have still not opened my Dungeon
With a sighed Maluxia opened his Item Summon Menu and switched to the Skill Book tab.
No Skill Books Available
Are you fucking with me so I have to even create my own Skills to create Skill Books or what? Is the World System me trolling or what that can´t be fucking true! Come on…..
Marluxia sighted loud and shook his head. He slowly rose from the pond and walked towards one of the walls of the Boss Room. With a tap on this wall in the Boss Room, a secret passage opened. He slowly walked along the hallway which was hidden behind the secret passage. At the end of this passage was Marluxias own small room.
Marluxia used his Mana to let the earth rise around a meter. In the middle of this newly created platform he inscribed a inscription pattern. If he infused this pattern with Mana it would create a high temperature flame. The exact heat was controllable.
After he created his stove, Marluxia created an anvil and a tray, using the exact same method he used to create the stove. The water he placed in the tray came from the slightly poisonous pond of the Boss Room. In Marluxia that was not enough he wanted to make the water more poisonous, so he milk Oscar to get his poison.
Oscar disapproved of it, but as he couldn´t go against any of the orders from Maluxia, he still got milked. Marluxia filed the poison in vials he summoned. As Marluxia was already milking Oscar he filled almost a hundred vials with poison.

Where should I store all this vials?
Pondered Marluxia after he realized that he may had filed to much poisons as he didn´t have a place to store them all. Create more room to store the poison? Never suddenly Marluxia remembered a specific Adventurer that explored his old Dungeon once. That person used a rather interesting ability. He infused his Mana into his own shadow and so that Adventurer was able to store things in his shadow.
Marluxia stood before all vials, which were now filled with a potent poison and placed a light source behind his back, so that his shadow now covered all this vials. Slowly he infused his Mana into his shadow while trying to pull the vials into his shadow. After a few minutes the vials suddenly vanished, but still Marluxia could feel them and he knew if he wanted to he could pull them back out as they were now stored in his shadow.
Congratulations you created a new Skill. With this Skill it is now possible to store a extremely limited amount of items into your shadow and also extract it whenever you want. How do you want to call this newly created Skill?
Minor Shadow Storage
Marluxia thought and extracted around ten of this vials out of his shadow. He poured this ten vials, filled with poison to the brim, into the tray he had created in his Room. The slightly green colored pond water changed it color after the poison was poured in it, the water was now a bit darker than before and much more poisonous.
It´s now possible to created Minor Shadow Storage Skill Books
After Marluxia saw that he smiled happily, after experimenting two weeks on his undead project with almost no result he felt rather gloomy. Now he finally created his own first skill. Well that skill was based on a stolen idea, but he created this skill himself, so he still felt proud of it.

Marluxia walked to one of the walls on his Room and placed his hands flat on the wall. He infused all the Mana he still had in his body into the wall. Before he did that he converted all of his Mana into Earth Mana. Through the influence of this much Earth Mana all of a sudden accrued iron ore veins where Marluxia placed his hands.
He summoned a pickaxe, a hammer and pliers. Every one of them counted for the World System as Basic Item so Marluxia could summon them without any problems. Marluxia grabbed the pickaxe and started to extract the iron ore from the wall. As he wanted to temper his body he thought it would be funny to start forging. Grabbing the extracted iron ore with the pliers he heat them down over the high temperature flame of his self-made stove.
After the iron was heated enough he started with the forging process. He placed the warm iron on his anvil and slowly started to hit it with his hammer. The hits were really sluggish as Marluxia was not proficient in forging.
Sadly the first few tries resulted in something unidentifiable. Marluxia tried to forge a spear head as it was the easiest thing he could think of. Over time he got a bit more proficient with the forging process, well at least the tenth try produced a spear head. The spear head was twelve centimeters long and around 5 centimeters wide on the widest place.
The still warm spear head was cooled down in the tray beside the anvil. Because of the poison in that water the iron spear head got a slight green glow on it. Without even checking it Marluxia knew instantly that being wounded by this spear would result in being poisoned. Well the poison would not be strong at all but it still could make a difference in a fight.
As base for the spear he used an around a Meter long round stick. After he assembled the two pieces, he proudly stroke the base of the spear and whispered: I will call you Little Snake
Minor Rank G spear-type weapon, infused with a minor paralyze poison created. As it was your first ever created ranked item you unlocked the Stat Luck. Luck influence the possibility to produce ranked item also it influences the possibility of item drops.
After he put the spear on a weapon rack on the opposite wall he continued with his forging. Slowly over time Marluxias movement got less sluggish and he felt more proficient in forging every time his hammer hit the warm iron.
Over time the weapon rack on the opposite wall got filled with more and more spears. In course of a week Marluxia managed to create seven more spears. Sadly all of them were only of Minor Rank G. To be true Marluxia managed to create over thirty spear heads but only seven of them were able to get ranked. He even tried to forge other things than spear heads, like sword or axes, but all tries to create something else than spear heads resulted in failure. So he only finished the ranked spear heads and melted down the unranked products down to save iron.
Weapons are ranked, just like adventurers are. There is no difference in the ranking system of weapons and adventurers. Every rank was subdivided into minor, intermediate and peak. Being able to create seven weapons that were ranked minor G is already not bad for a beginner blacksmith like Marluxia, especially if they only started forging weapons.
Congratulation through your hard efforts, in the way of forging, you unlocked the passive ability Blacksmith. From now on the chances of creating ranked weapons improve by five percent

8 153Thief of Time
[Participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Book 1: The Legend of Tot Synopsis: Claud Primus, a self-declared master thief, has a simple goal. To live forever. It's a rather easy task, for miraculous objects called lifestones are able to extend one's lifespan. These lifestones are best found in the treasuries of nobles, lovely resorts that Claud pays a visit to every so often. Unfortunately, one of those nightly visits go awry, and Claud is forced to escape with just a single lifestone and a box in hand. Normally, that's when things die down. The guards yawn, the gates close, and the night continues. But this time, the night isn't that forgiving. A dozen schemes result in the murder of someone important, and with a convenient scapegoat — Claud — at hand, it doesn't take long for him to be framed as a heinous criminal, wanted for the indirect murder of someone high up...and it just gets worse from there. Book 2: The Moon Lords' Rise Synopsis: As ordered chaos sweeps across Licencia, Claud leaves for Julan Barony, intent on making some profits there. Accompanied by the erstwhile heiress of Julan, a fellow member of the Moon Lords, the two plot against the barony's wealth...as well as a promise to bring about its downfall. Meanwhile, back home, the Moon Lords have busied themselves with digesting their gains. Eyes, however, are beginning to turn to this proverbial fish in a small pond. The fishermen are coming. When they cast their hook, what will Dia and the others do? Book 3: Murders under the Moons Synopsis: In the sleepy town of Nachtville, where Claud and Lily are forced to stop at, a set of nasty murders occurs. Victims scream out in fright, before a spear falls from the sky to end their suffering. Cowed and cautious, the master thief and his partner slink in the shadows, their objective that of home... A new task, however, has fallen on Dia. With a trusty helper at her side, she has to set off towards Nachtville itself, to solve the mystery Claud had abandoned. Faced with an enemy whose sole skillset is geared towards killing, how will they succeed? And what dark secrets will they find? Book 4: In the Dark of the Moons Synopsis: The year has ended. The four months of the full moons will soon be followed by two months of the new moons. Duke Istrel's ascension is around the corner. Amidst this political upheaval, Count Nightfall, Licencia's strongest defender, has been called away. The Moon Lords' largest task yet — to protect Licencia in the absence of its ruler — has begun. And yet, trouble is unrelenting. A distinguished personage, one that Claud fears, has been found dead in the county, his brains dug out and his body disemboweled. The inquisitors of the White Church have been dispatched to investigate and apprehend the murderer...as well as the person behind this puppet. Tormented by a call to fight, Claud directs his eyes out of the city, looking for the puppetmaster. Skulking in the shadows, the master thief will soon confront his greatest foe yet. A foe just like him. Book 5: Moonlit Tides and Darkened Seas Synopsis: A new era has begun. For the privileged, the sands of time dribble away for every passing moment, counting down to the arrival of a entity of mythical proportions. The night now harbours shadows and fog, and operatives of the Moons and the Dark clash in shadow. Claud, as usual, is investigating a spate of nasty disappearances in the city, but little does he know what these disappearances truly mean. And yet, a tide is coming. When it finally breaks, what will he do? Book 6: Secrets in Shadow Synopsis: The person behind a strike that would enter the annals of history flees his home, bringing with him the person closest to his heart into a new land and into a new world. Having left Istrel for the first time in his life, the two of them attempt to settle down in foreign lands, only to be caught in the middle of hostilities between two mighty powers grappling for dominion. Yet, none of that has anything to do with him. Following his desires, Claud eventually makes his way to the fabled Celestia Ruins, a fragment of another world. Bearing witness to truths he cannot yet comprehend, he returns from his exploration, a small break away from the machinations of destiny. One thing, however, is for certain. Destiny will not wait for him. Book 7: Reddest Rage Synopsis: Destiny churns on, heedless of mortal machinations, and Claud watches as the battlegrounds between the Moons and the Dark are drawn up. With the forces of the great Dark occupying Lostfon, Claud comes to a startling realisation — that he may have very well be a murderer of heinous proportions. Grappling with that realisation, he struggles to prepare for his Second Tutorial... Back in Istrel, Dia finds herself confronted with a perennial truth. Even in a time of writhing destiny, the machinations between nobles never cease to end — and unfortunately for her, the group once known as the Moon Lords are forced into dealing with a petty squabble between two counts. What they didn't account for, however, was the startling discovery they would soon make... And the shadow of the Red God's Holy Son behind it all. Book 8: Darkness Descends Synopsis: Nightmares haunt the horizon as Claud sinks and awakens from a seeming dream. What was once illusory begins to play out before him, in a way he cannot imagine. Dia, forced to wield arms, begins and ends a battle that opens her eyes to the vast dangers that lurk in this sundered world. Under the banner of humanity and divinity, she beholds the silent, forgotten protectors of Orb...but there is no forgetting the battle between the divinities. The Dark descends, the Moons writhe, and the horns of war blow once more. But this is not their battle. Not yet. Book 9: Moons Muster Synopsis: As more and more events fall into place, Claud finds himself desperate. Not for himself, but for the person who has turned into his world. Armed with the knowledge of a certain future, he approaches the only person that could possibly help him in his time of need, trading information for a promise of help. With that as solace, he returns to the grim task of understanding and seeking, revisiting an ancient, shattered fragment of another world...unleashing changes that he never knew was possible. Back in Istrel, Dia and the others must now navigate around a familiar spirit, who seeks to investigate the death of his master's Bearer. With them as prime suspects, the Seekers of Life must move carefully...but the Coloured Gods are not the only divinities eyeing them closely. The Moons, bristling from repeated defeats, are looking for new recruits, and the Seekers of Life are prime cannon fodder. Above all, destiny marches on, the unfeeling clock a warning to all. The Trial of Aeons will soon arrive. Book 10: Destiny Divine Synopsis: ??? Release frequency: one every few days or something, I guess.
