《They came by the dozen (Dropped)》Journal of The OP-Weapon Smith chapter 3
Advertisement
Hey journal, it has been about three years since the last entry time sure does fly when you're having fun.
So yeah it seems like we can't craft equipment higher than low beginner tiered newborn primordial grade equipment, which totally shit for us crafters, it took away most of our drive but it was a good discovery because now we can actually focus on perfecting our craft and not just trying to reach and make better quality equipment by using the skill guiding every step of the way so we trained without the use of the skill "Memories Of The Grandmasters", it showed us that we were seriously lacking in skill even tho are bodies can do it by muscle memory but every weapon we made were low beginner tiered crude normal grade equipment which shocked us and brought us to a realisation that we have all been spoon fed by our skills and it was destroying our growth so we decided to start from scratch again.
The others also didn't know how to do what they were able to do before so right now every single one of us are training to make our base strong, sturdy and adaptable.
From the first year since I last wrote, we had a great amount of setbacks like injuring ourselves, burning ourselves, cutting ourselves and so forth. We also started to train with the creatures, they were good and terrifying but before they didn't seem so scary, but we slowly and gradually make progresses. One small step at a time which was a good morale boost for all of us. We swapped on what we were practicing every month so that we don't forget any of the other things.
The second year we gradually got better we reached the level where we crafters can make high expert tiered exquisite rare grade equipment which made us all happy especially us crafters. We also got the hang of how to use magic properly like controlling the amount of mana is being used, we also discovered that magic can be molded by your imagination which was great because now we can do something about some upgrades when we reach the goal. We also talk in a different language every three month which helps so that we don't forget. We basically went from way over powered to a novice that just started.
This year we finally are all able to talk fluently in the common forms of the languages like common Elvish, common Dwarvish, common Celestial, common Demons, common Dragon and a lot more but we are all aiming to be able to talk with the separate forms of the language. Our usage on magic is at the expert level but still not enough. Our mounts also evolved about three times an evolution a year which is cool mine evolved into a (High General Twenty-Four Winged Falco-Lione) a set of wings per "Gear" set.
Oh yeah I created weapons that can act as our substitute weapons when we are travelling they are the ones that reached High Grandmaster tier Majestic Overlord grade weapons, but instead of one weapon per person I got bored and created six weapons per person, which can transform into two forms melee and range basically, with the added effects of heals per damage, concealment, increase reaction time and so forth I could only enchant the equipment with six per form which ok. The other crafters also did the same with the same idea meaning I have twenty-four sets of "Gear" in total. My Primordial equipment all evolved which is cool but it takes a year to get enough experience and items for it to get it to evolve and another year is taken for the equipment evolving and now me and the others have our hands full with getting accustomed to the gear again.

It has been two years since the last entry not a lot happened, just training upon training and studying upon studying and practice upon practice, but it was so worth it considering we have been able to make (High Grandmaster tier Majestic High God grade) equipment as per usual we created another dozen sets of "Gear" but we all decided that twenty four sets is enough so we just combined the god grade equipment with the overlord grade equipment which is cool because now a single equipment has four forms and the enchantments also got combined which is cool. We wondered if we can combine equipment like a weapon and armour so we tested it but it didn't work but we didn't give up it took a month or two but we found a way to do it, I'm not saying how because that is a crafter's secret.
I put my pet into hibernation because if it kept evolving I would not have the idea on what's it's abilities. Most of our menu options are locked but oh well. back to training.
I'm eighteen this year which is cool but not very interesting at all. There is no such thing as oldest or youngest to us because everyone here was sent with no memory of birthdate and such.
It has been four years since last time which makes me twenty-two years old. I have already reached the level in where I can make (High Grandmaster tier Majestic High God Overlord grade) weapons hell all the crafters have reached this point which is amazing in itself because the thing we learned from reading the books in the library is that the highest tiered grade a mortal race has ever created was a (High Grandmaster tier Majestic Divine grade) equipment set, and that was created by the joint efforts of all races.
This is the grading level Common, Uncommon, Rare, Lord, King, Emperor, Legendary, Mythical, Divine, Overlord, God, God Overlord, High God, High God Overlord, Newborn Primordial, Infant Primordial, Adolescent Primordial, Adult Primordial is the highest so far.
The level of quality the grade is split into Crude, Passable, Good, Great, Amazing, Magnificent, Exquisite and Majestic.
While the tiers are Beginner, Novice, Adept, Expert, Master and Grandmaster. The level of quality are Low, Medium and High which is very easy to remember.
Our level of combat is actually getting better as we practice with creatures that are stronger than a bodybuilding martial arts master, their speed is also no joke but that's better because it helps us train our awareness and hand eye coordination, the creatures didn't attack at with killing reasons but they didn't hold back but we were not ordinary ourselves so we could actually survive but it still hurt.
I almost actually forgot we are evolved beings, with bodies that are resistant, durable, self healing, adaptable and so much more. As we got more better at fighting our speed, accuracy, strength and our mind has gotten sharper and better as we gain more and more experience on fighting, we also fought eachother without holding back but not to the point of killing eachother but it still hurt, we gained great insight of how to deal with people using weapons and without weapons. We also saw that both the creatures and mortal beings have some similarities at the same time have differences from eachother like how mortals stand and creatures are on fours basically it really.

it has been a year since I last wrote an entry. Finally I'm twenty-three and the others are also the same age. The group had fight, argument, make up. We were like siblings hell we are siblings considering that we have spent a lot of years together without the feeling of desire when we see eachother. I have reached the level where I can make (Low Grandmaster tier Majestic Newborn Primordial) which per usual I created another set of weapons which I combined with our existing Primordial weapons which started to evolved into a variants, they didn't follow the usual patern of quality instead they jumped into the (High Great Beginner tier Marvelously Majestic Newborn Primordial Overlord grade) which is a huge quality jump considering both weapons were lower Primordial grade weapons, but who cares I wanted to try it with the set of High God Overlord weapons we all have so I created a set of them as well and started to combine them it took a while but I succeeded, we now all have (High Great Beginner tier Marvelously Majestic High God Overlord King grade) weapons which is somehow lower than a newborn primordial but ohh well, I combine twelve weapons per one weapon meaning everyone has six weapons excluding the primordial weapons, so i made seventy-two weapons per person meaning I made eight hundred and sixty-four weapons with different designs and abilities.
Hell me and the other crafters didn't sleep at all two weapons a week
In simple terms it took us three months to make all of it, and another two months to combine them properly. It would have been easier to combine them at once but I didn't know what would happen so I didn't risk it meaning I combine so i combined seventy-two weapons per week but it was worth it. they are still the same type of weapons like before but with some differences like functions for example my explorer high god gear set's weapon are a pair of bastard sword named "The Two Fangs Of The Winged Lion" can mix and become a pair of pistols (mixture of a magnum and a deagle) that shoot blades instead of bullets but can also fire bullets. just some added effects and style like the bastard swords were looking like a plain pair of bastard swords but now they look awesome with jewels and designed patterns making it look cool.
I'll just write down what the weapons are per person.
Egy has a shortbow, a pair of whips, a dagger a rapier, throwing needles, a harp. Rou has a whip and buckler, a dagger, throwing needles, a rapier and a bodhran. Harom has a dagger, throwing needles, a pair of whips, a rapier and a flute.
------------
Negy has a pair of sickles, a pair of tantos, throwing chakrams, a club, a chain and a trumpet. Ot has a pair of tantos, a mace, throwing chakrams, a shotel, a chain and a violin, Sesi has a pair of tantos, a tachi, throwing chakrams, a hammer, a chain and a snare drum.
------------
Het has a pair of nunchucks, throwing knives, a kukri, a bastard sword, a shield and a mandolin. Ocht has a pair of short swords, a kukri, throwing knives, a bastard sword, a shield and an oboe. I have a pair bastard swords, a long sword, a shield, a kukri, throwing knives and a bongo drum.
------------
Tiz has a greatsword, a knife, a pair of katar, throwing stars, a pair of hook blades and a saxophone. Hamaika has a glaive, a knife, a pair of katar, throwing stars, a pair of hook blades and a viola. Doce has a great axe, a knife, a pair of katar, throwing stars, a pair of hook blades and a conga ( smaller version the same size as a bongo).
The "Crafter's Den" was in chaos for several months when we were making the equipment. we got used to them really fast. Considering that only some aspects changed not the structure so it was easy to do.
Ok we are currently preparing our essentials like spare clothes, money (we learned how to make them legally acceptable), potions and so forth. I woke my pet up from hibernation also it seems my pet is a guy which is grand.
Ok we are all at the "Relax Mansion" where we are saying our goodbyes and planning how long we are all gonna travel for. It was decided that we will go on a journey for about four years and then returning.
Time for an adventure.

Far Strider
A college student finds himself transported into a strange land with burgeoning magical powers, and is taken in by Ned Stark. Will he sink or swim in this medieval society, and will he ever get home? ====================== OC-insert without knowledge of Game of Thrones, new planeswalker. Slow power ramp. Second crossover: Star Wars (around chapter 39). ======================= As a note, I started this as a speed writing challenge to myself. The challenge was successful, and I managed 100,000+ words (as well as some character sheets in excel and such) over 10.5 days. Then I had to stop and let my hands recover from their burgeoning carpal tunnel syndrome. The story currently stands at around 150,000 words (or ~550 RRL pages) over 54 chapters; expect a chapter a day until I've caught up with the backlog. The focus of this story was not quality writing, and that hasn't changed. I mostly use it as my semi-guilty "I need to write something, but am not focused enough to write something good" story. Expect self-indulgent writing in general, and a bit of OP (or, well, more than just a bit if we're being honest), especially later in the story as the protagonist matures into a more full-blown Planeswalker. But if you're looking for something with a power-ramping protagonist romping around the place, something you'd be a bit embarrassed to admit liking (I know I am) but like anyways (and come on, this is RRL, so that probably describes just about everyone here who actually has shame), then this may be a nice bit of mental junk food for you.

After the End: Serenity
We all want to believe we are heroes of our own story - unless we want to be the villain, of course. At the end of everything, the Final Reaper decided he hadn’t been a hero. Driven by a desire to right the wrongs he was subjected to, he killed everyone who wronged him or his people - which turned out to be everyone that wasn’t killed by someone else first. He'd won - but it was a hollow victory. Eventually, Order’s Voice found a way out. If the only existing being would agree to give up most of his power, the Voice could reset the multiverse to an earlier time with a few minor changes. Of course, the Voice couldn't ask it that way. It could only ask if the Final Reaper was willing to start over from when Earth was first brought into Order. It was an easy decision, and yet it wasn’t. Was he willing to go through eons of pain again to not be alone? Yes. In a heartbeat. Not that his heart beat anymore. Now it would. Perhaps he could even be a hero, this time. When he landed in his old body - more or less - on Earth, the Final Reaper once again became Thomas. He was both and neither. He needed a new name for a new life. Serenity. ------------------------------------------ While this is technically a System Apocalypse story, it's a System Apocalypse that is designed to have a large percentage of the population survive and prosper. There are a lot of problems that come with the appearance of the Voice, and it's entirely possible to lose. Earth has some special opportunities, but also special challenges. The first time around, Earth won the first round and lost the second. Serenity has ten years from when the Voice arrives to prevent that from happening. It will be a group effort; Serenity can't win alone - which is difficult for someone who's been alone for as long as he has. Of course, that's only his second priority. ------------------------------------------- Updates Daily A note on the nonhuman lead tag: He isn't human, and hasn't been human for a very, very long time (or maybe not long at all, depending on how you count it). He still thinks of himself as human, either way. The content warnings are mostly to give me room to write; this fiction is not intended to be edgy, but once in a while a character will swear or someone will get seriously injured. The cover image is a Chandra/Hubble composite image of VV 340 / Arp 302 / UGC 9618. While we're not going to space itself any time soon in the story, people from elsewhere are coming to Earth and Serenity will visit other planets. Plus, I like space imagery.
