《Pedlar of Another World》Pedlar of Another World - Chapter 9

[Barely there, but Hey! It's quite good right?]
Since I already have quite a good amount of Brass Component to make a Three-Piece set, why not I try and see if I could come out with something good? If it's sellable to the people, that would be great, but if it couldn't I can wear it myself anytime. Worst come to worst, they are going to be failed and lost from this world forever. I could still salvage it...
Just like this, I read the Three-Piece Light Armour Set's Recipe once again, to see if I missed any of its important detail within. I went through the recipe in detail, and prepare myself as I would be required to obtain a few other materials before I could have the equipment made. First of all, I went over to the reception to obtains some of those accompaniments materials, and it cost me Five Spirit Coins to purchase the amount enough for me to make ten pieces of equipment. Seems like they sell it by bulks for this kind of cheap stuff.
I started with the body Armour. Since this came in a total of ten-piece parts, I've decided that I will use a total of 2% of Brass Component in each of its pieces, and complete it at a Lower-Grade. First of all, I prepare the smelter to allows me to prepares the two piece of Brass Rod into one single refined Brass Rod, as I bring it out to start my hammering technique.
The hammering could bring out the impurity and strengthen the body if that's how it would be described in my world. Over here, they call this method folding, which is used to make the Brass component bond stronger. A folded 10% Metal would be stronger than a hammered 10% Metal, because the moment the folding happens, the metal is forced to be bonded into a shape, unlike the hammered, where if an impact managed to get it, the metal would fall and separated like dominoes blocks.
After I managed to Folds it into a Single Piece of Chest Plate, I begin to put a little edge on it, to make it seem slightly special. I repeat with the next two Brass Rod (1%) and successfully made another Chest Plate. With the chest part is done, I begin with the Shoulder Plates. The works could be only done one at a time, but I wonder would it be better if my skills actually increased.
But for now, let us don't think too far. After the Shoulder Plates is completed, a roughly measures their similarity on the Edges I purposely add to make it look special, but of course, on its size and measurements as well, because this will be worn by the fighters that might be going to use it to fight anything.
I begin with the Back Plates next, follow up with a Single Neck Piece, and a pair of Side body Plates, then lastly, two piece of the torso plates. With all ten piece of parts is prepared, I start to attach it one after another on a Wooden Dummy's chest and assemble the piece of Body Equipment soon. Along with some leather and also screws and some Attachment Nails, I slowly put the Body Armour together and formed a piece of wearable Piece, before I begin with the Waist Armour.

Similar to the Body Armour, the Waist Armour came in a ten-piece parts as well. Two Plates on each side of the waist, added with another two to be made into an additional crotch protection, the design created the Waist Armour to looks like a metal made pants with skirting that could defend its wearer on both front and back, left and right, with extremely durable crotch cover that comes with the joints to bring all the parts together.
Lastly, is the Lower Armour, which is expected, came in a ten-piece parts. Two is formed into the Sole Guard and followed with two for the Joint Guard, another two for the Knee Guard, two for lower leg and two for upper leg. Altogether, the ten-piece parts formed into pants that could be worn easily like any normal costume could be.
With all 60% of the Brass, Component is used on forming this Three-Piece Lightweight Armour, I've decided to use the remaining Brass Component to form some additional features to make this armour much more outstanding. I refined the remaining Brass Rod into five pieces of Thick Metal Token, and with the tools provided, I mould them into a flower insignia that would be attached on both sides of the Shoulder Plates, the middle of the Front Plate for the Waist Armour, and two on the Knee Guard for the Lower Armour.
The moment all this is completed, I remove the armour from the three Dummy and run a scan towards the three-piece. Unexpectedly, I actually received a strange choice from the Status Panel as it pops up. I pay attention to what is written on it and decides on what should I do with this since it already came out unexpectedly.
"Three-Piece Set Lightweight Armour is successfully created. Satisfied with your works?"
Yes
No
Such a weird option. I chose yes, and like a lightbulb is suddenly lit up with lights within, the three-piece Lightweight Armour within my hand flashed suddenly and gone in seconds. And the next thing, three status panel appears within my initial status panel.

The moment I read the status on the Three-Piece Set Lightweight Armour I've made, I am quite delighted, but since its grade is Still Lower Grade 10, perhaps it was due to the lack of skill on myself, because in total, included the Insignia, the Top contained 24% of Brass Component, 22% on the Waist and 24% again on the Lower. But I wouldn't be too petty with this for now, as I decided to walk out and see if I could found a buyer.
I walked out from the Blacksmithing Workshop and straights to the Marketplace. This Market is handled by the Merchandise Association, and they do provide the protection, appraiser and location towards everyone who wished to sell their own items here. Their rates are 10% charges on whatever Item is sold, so it would really depend on a person would he be able to earn the money or not.
I went in and with shakes of my hand with the Pedlar Setup Ring, a booth immediately appeared from thin air, as it already well set with a Full-Size Dummy that is fit for me to put on the Three-Piece Set on it. The status table is shown on a paper, and as the Appraiser walked over to see the authentication of the item I am selling, the gave me a green tag to indicates It is as the description says. Their face has a slight hint of amazement, but yet they did not stop and purchase it.
I guess, it is still too weak for people that have quite a good stats. Next, I start to have some visitors that begin to have a look at the piece of equipment I am selling. Most of them barely watch and enjoy the other people that were looking at it as well, because of the pricing I had put on it. 50 Black Spirit Crystals for each piece if bought all together. If bought separately, it would cost 80 Black Spirit Crystals instead a piece.
Some of them wished that they could complain about the price, but everyone knows that a Set equipment is hardly easy to saw in the market, although this equipment is just a Lower Grade 10 piece, its quite above average stats still will make many people have the urge to purchase it. The only thing is, the price is slightly higher for a Lower Grade 10 Equipment.
Then, two-man with swords finally stopped before my stall, and have a look at my armour. One of them looked at me for a moment before he asked. "Young friend, If I purchase this set of equipment from you, could you give me a free repair for all three piece when I need it?" the man asked. Luckily I know that the repairing would need some ingredients in return to have it properly repaired, I replied the man with "If you are willing to provide me with the required materials, I will repair it without cost for the first time.
After he is satisfied with my answer, the man withdraws 150 Black Spirit Crystals from his pouch and passed it to me as I hand him the three-piece set. He wore it on the spot, and looking quite good, he walked away satisfied. It was the similar for me, as I am 135 Black Spirit Crystals richer. I went back to the Refining Workshop later that day, and aim to went into the Ore Cave for the whole day tomorrow, and starts to focus more on making my Pickaxe better.

Obligate of a Self-Ordained Sorcerer
Come join the Discord! It was a typical late-night friday for Mara, secluded in her apartment in front of a digital expanse, relentlessly mashing code into a keyboard. An introverted workaholic, but this was what she wanted - what she had strived so hard to achieve. So why did she feel so lost? Her life was productive, comfortable, satisfying. Plenty had it worse but she still felt... ungrateful? Stunted? The right word escaped her, but she could feel the general revelation settling upon her. With it came a choice that would set events in motion far beyond the meager scope of a 'New Game+'. So taking an intrusive portal to god-knows-where, Mara will come to find that her new world offers boons and banes with equal abandon. Magic, skills, and unforgiving difficulty. For a frail human shut-in, finding herself stranded in the middle of a sprawling dungeon was one of the least desirable outcomes. Food and water would be the least of her problems, why oh why couldn't she just get summoned by some pervy king to slay a demon army or something? This is a story of magic and adventure with skills and stats galore. A litrpg / isekai epic that I've been inspired to make after years of wonderful works like "So I'm a Spider," "Rimuru the Slime," "Azarinth Healer," "Negima!?," and plethora of other isekai and fantasy novels and animes. Special shout-out to Douglas Adams, a big influence on narative humor that's had a non-insignificant effect on my writing style. I hope you enjoy joining Mara on her journey as I attempt to scratch the itch they left behind.Chapters target 3-6k~ words. Though I'm personally aiming for a chapter every couple weeks, I think I can at least promise one a month with how busy work's been. I made a Patreon due to requests, if you'd like to support me there I'll be using it to fund artwork and RR ads for increased exposure.

The Hand That Guides
The rust colored lands of Osnein are rich with artifacts and old-world technologies highly valued by the various empires and kingdoms inhabiting this distant world. Though many individuals make a living off what they can scavenge from ruins above ground, the true wealth lies beneath them in a iron labrynth known to all as 'The Network'. Whether it is in the pursuit of knowledge, artifacts of power or immeasurable wealth they all risk their lives in an effort to create a better future for themselves. However, entrances to The Network are far and few and rarely explored as metallic entities known as the Jötnar, guard its very depths. In order to defend themselves against such threats, humanity employs the use of Seidr, also known as sorcery. It is the foundation in which gives power to the incantations invoked from the realms beyond the veil... and through the blessing of 'Ljoss' bestowed upon humanity by the Goddess Oracle, the time may yet come for humanity to claim The Network for themselves... Yet wandering this vast region, with no place to call home, exists a curious individual by the name of Grit.
