《Pandora: A New Beginning》Chapter 5: The Smiths apprentice
Advertisement
The head blacksmith grumbled as if he couldn't be bothered to explain to me the problem that has occurred, so I turned my head towards the players and asked.
"What happened between the both of you?"
The player who looked to be the leader of the group said: "We asked him if he was able to forge weapons for us?"
As soon as I head that I realized that these people weren't normal, although you only need 2 or 3 pieces ores and a blacksmith to make it, to get these materials so early on, you would need to have a workshop, that or you have managed to find something valuable enough to trade with a life class player who chose to mine and happened to get lucky enough to find a blacksmith worthy material.
After a couple of seconds, I asked: "Why don't you go to another village for a blacksmith?"
One of his lackeys arrogantly said, "Why would we do that, this village belongs to us The Dominators."
It was only then that I used identify on them.
The leader of the group was called 'Dominator Chris' whilst the lackey was called 'Dominator Michael'
I ignored them and spoke to the blacksmith "Do you have a quest for me?"
Sardrock replied, "I require 10 iron ores, can you mine them for me?"
"Of course, I can mine the Iron ore for you, can you tell me where to find it?" It was this quest, the repeatable quest that can gain you relations with the blacksmith.
"Just outside of town is the Deathmount Mine, head there." Sardrock replied as if it was obvious.
Mine 10 Iron ore for Sardrock:
Iron ore mined: 0/10
I knew which mine he was talking about, it was called the same mine no matter which village you landed in, after heading into the mine I logged out of Pandora.

It was almost 9 pm I had been playing for hours and it was almost time to eat, since I had seen my parents again I would always be making the food before they arrive.
After eating I logged back into the game.
...
Standing just outside the mine, I was looking at the small influx of players that would arrive every 5-10 minutes, the mine could be classed as abandoned.
Walking into the mine I noticed that there were only about 50 players throughout the entire mine.
I took my pickaxe out of my inventory and started mining the iron.

...
....
After 30 minutes I had finally mined all 10 pieces of iron ore
Mine 10 Iron ore for Sardrock:
Iron ore mined: 10/10
Return to Sardrock to turn in the quest.
I started to return to Sardrock to turn in the quest, this quest can be completed 10 times in total, but no one had bothered to do that until several months into the game, the reason was simple, you don't gain exp from this quest, instead, you only receive 5 silver coins.
After entering the village I headed off to the blacksmith.
When I arrived at the blacksmith the players from before were still there, continuing to argue with the blacksmith.
I walked passed them and went to the blacksmith and spoke to Sardrock.
"I have returned with the 10 pieces of iron ore." Sardrock would be arrogant with those who demand from him, but on the other hand, if you had been tasked by him, he would prefer if you were upfront with him and disperse with the pleasantries.
Quest completed
5 Silver coins received
Relation with Sardrock Improved by 5
Quest completed 1/10
I was probably the only one who knew the benefits of completing the quest all 10 times so I asked him for a quest and I received the same quest.

Quest Received:
Mine 10 Iron ore for Sardrock:
Iron ore mined: 0/10
As I headed out of the blacksmiths I gave that group of people some advice "Why don't you ask him nicely instead of demanding, he might actually forge you what you want."
Without waiting for a reply I walked off back to the mine to start the mining process again.

Mine 10 Iron ore for Sardrock:

5 Silver coins received

Quest completed 2/10
After handing the quest in, I asked Sardrock for the quest again, after receiving I walked out for the 3rd time, but this time I didn't notice that group of people standing outside, I didn't really think about it and started off on the grind.
.

...
After completing the quest for the 5th time I went back to the blacksmith.

Magnus
Updates daily at 23:06 UTC. 2/1/2021 NOTE! This trilogy is being published by Aethon Books starting with book one on 5/1/2021. All books have been removed from RoyalRoad. This story was posted on RR in its entirety before being removed. Magnus Cromwell kills for a living. He’s organized, professional, efficient. Like a machine. But when his family’s life is on the line? That’s something else. That calls for the kind of warm-blooded vengeance that scorches earth and summons tungsten rods from space, leaves a whole lot of melted flesh, and no one to tell the tale. It should've been a blue milk run. As by-the-book as it gets. With his sister Nina out safe and the opposition decimated by hypersonic gunfire, MC wondered where they got the guts to even try. Then something hits him. Lays him out cold, and leaves him waking up to a fantasyland with nothing but his armor and a half-written note to guide him. It's a strange place where even stranger predators eye him for their next meal. Where his life’s on a timer, and where the darkest horrors haunt his dreams, painting visions of death. There's no right day to mess with Magnus Cromwell. But the universe sure managed to pick the absolute worst one. --- - MC is stone-cold, strong(OP), and gets even stronger, but he'll still face his fair share of challenges, both internal and external. - LitRPG-lite. No stats and an unconventional system. Expect abilities and progressions, but there will only ever be a handful of them. - Science Fiction and Fantasy collide, with a touch of mystery, Lovecraft, and body horror. - Professionally painted art scenes! - This series is finished. A Huge thank you to RoyalRoader MikeWe for the banner, and to NoDragons for his help editing the synopsis.

The Last 100
The bustling crush of humanity had become common place now, the cacophony of voices and the symphony of a city had become the song and dance of our species. But it was not always such, and return back to our more humble roots we did.The system had come, and it had stripped us bare. Sure it had given us a means to power, but at what cost. We were the last 100 left. Night was falling on the human race, it was a dark night, and it was cold.But go quietly we would not. We would make the world burn with an inferno of our defiance. Rage, rage against that goodnight, and I Jack Casser, have rage a plenty. This is my story, the story of the last 100.Author Note: This story is a LitRPG apocalypse, woah fucking original idea I know but hear me out. If you can look past preconceived ideas driven by a stigma of overdone tropes and done to death plots of achieving world domination and self-righteous characters and give the story a chance I hope it can surprise you.
