《Heaven's Calling Online》Chapter 7 - Blacksmith

"Hey, Wake up."(???)
*Jab* "Wake up"(???)
Evan woke up. He had fallen asleep in his Tech college class.
"Class is over"(Girl who sat behind Evan)
"Oh, sorry you had to wake me up, and thanks... Uh..-"(Evan)
"Aria, my name's Aria."(Aria)
"Are you OK? you seemed really tired."(Aria)
Evan had paid the price for staying up all night to get to level 17.
"Yeah, I'm fine, thanks for asking. Aria"(Evan)
"Well, Cya later then. Bye"(Aria)
Evan realized that he had drool running down his mouth and quickly wiped it off.
Crap. it was there the entire time wasn't it?...
Yesterday by auctioning off the items he had obtained from grinding, he was able to make enough money to not have to worry about the month. Early game items' worth would drop over time, so he had to sell most of the items quick. And, his dancer class wouldn't allow him to equip most items anyway.
His crafting skill now allowed him to create [Green] Spears, but, sadly nobody used spears,
so his thoughts of selling them would never work out.
Most players had become Knights, Swordsmen, Archers, Assassins, or Mages. Others took Merchant, Healers, or Shamans. But only Horizon had taken Dancer.
Upon his crafting skill reaching [Exceptional] he had the option to change it into a similar profession.

[Progression Avalible. [Weapon Smith] [Technician]
Weapon Smith Has been learned!
Skill Name:Skill Quality:Skill Mastery:Skill Progression:Weapon SmithRareMediocre0%The user is able to create more complicated weapons. [Green] Teir.
Once Horizon had saw this, had immediately attempted to create a weapon.
With his new [Weapon Smith] Skill, he wanted to see what new weapons he could make.
After 5 failed attempts, he had to go buy more iron to use as a materials.

On his sixth attempt, he was able to successfully create a weapon.
Item Successfully Forged!
Crude GlaiveRestrictions30 STR, Level 10Damage13-17Durability20/20Quality:GreenA poorly created glaive, but due to the crafter's skill, has a keen edge.
Claim Crude Glaive with signature?
Horizon denied. He had no need to label something.
Horizon had tried to make a better melee spear weapon and ended up with a glaive.
The glaive he had created had better stats, and he had enough STR to wield it, so he equipped it.
Logging off, Evan checked the forums of any updates. DarkEden had released that pets were now in the game, but nobody knew how to tame one.
Since his [Red] player status had run out, he was able to enter the towns again without being targeted by players or town guards.
Upon entering a town received a message-
For being the first player to discover Phiren, you have gained 3500 EXP and a 10% increase in profits from selling, and 10% decrease when buying items in Phiren for 1 hour
After selling his junk materials and items, he went to the blacksmith. If he was able to wield items that a dancer wasn't naturally able to hold because his crafting skills allowed him to use most things he made, would the [Blacksmith] skill allow him to create heavy armor that he would be able to equip?
Being stuck with only light armors allowed him speed in place of heavy defense, but as a dancer, his AGI would be abnormally high.
After finding the blacksmith, the blacksmith was unwilling to teach him.
"If you truly want to learn how to blacksmith, you must learn how to gather your own metals."(Blacksmith)

+Familiarity: ???- Depends on how well the player does.
Using his harvest skill, he was able to find a cave and mine 5 iron ore without any problems.
Upon returning to the blacksmith, he showed the blacksmith the iron ores he had collected.

"Ah yes, Blacksmithing, this skill will take a lot of time and dedication, are you up to it?"(Blacksmith)
"Yes, I am, sir."(Horizon)
"My name isn't sir, it's Taron. Call me Taron."(Taron)
"Yes Taron, I'd like to learn the Blacksmithing skill."(Horizon)
By learning Taron's name, you have grown closer to him.
+18 Familiarity
+10 Fame
"Let's begin by teaching you the basics, I'll show you how making a dagger is done. After you have learned how to melt ore, we can move on."(Taron)
Taron began by heating the ores in a furnace. As the iron began glowing slightly red, Taron brought it from the furnace, and to the anvil.
"Begin by heating the ores until they turn emit a reddish color, but not too red, as the iron would become too soft to properly handle."(Taron)
As Taron repeatedly heated the iron after he hammered it, the iron slowly began to take shape. After the iron had been hammered into a blade shape, he began tempering and the process of quenching the sword, suddenly plunging it into cold water made it change it's attributes slightly, and created a harder blade. the blacksmith then sharpened the blade using a grinder, and after attaching the hilt and handle, the blacksmith showed Horizon the completed iron sword.
Fine Iron Sword Restrictions30 STR, Level 15Damage30-38Durability40/40Quality:BlueA finely crafted sword made by an experienced blacksmith.Special Effects-+5 STR, +5 VIT, +50HP
This was the first [Blue] item that Horizon had seen, and as far as he knew, there were only 5 other blue items.
"Hey old man Taron, this is a pretty good sword you made..."(Horizon)
"Hah! Of course it's a good sword! I made it after all! And don't call me old man, i'm not that old yet."(Taron)
"Here, you saw me do it, now you try"(Taron)
After failing 2 times, Horizon was finally able to make a sword. it was harder and took a lot longer than he thought it would.
Horribly Forged StickRestrictionsNoneDamage2-5Durability5/5Quality:GrayThis item can hardly be considered a sword, as much as a stick.Special Effects-None
"..."(Horizon)
I feel totally insulted by the description of this item... to be that bad that it would hardly be considered a stick was really bad...
He could hear the old man Taron laughing in the background.
"Listen here young'un, There are many more better ores, and also, using infusions and attributes can give a sword special properties."(Taron)
"Got it old man Taron."(Horizon) -Replied with a smirk
"Hey, hey, take this hammer if you're going, you don't seem to have one, so you can sue mines, you remind me of a kid I met years ago...(Taron)
"And come back if you can, If you get better I wanna compete with you, so you better work on your forging skills kid."(Taron)

"I'll come back and beat you one day, old man Taron."(Horizon)
"Hah! We'll see about that. This old man's got a couple of tricks up his sleeve."(Taron)
Leaving Phiren, Horizon had learned the new skill Blacksmithing, and had gained a friend; Taron.
-------------------------------
T.T I didn't know what to write.
Sorry if this is boring.
I don't really have time to do this on the weekdays, so most chapters will come out on the weekdays or summer. and I have no plot.

Rebirth of Destiny I
In a world where magical runes called Rebirths rest in the hands of hostile nations, fourteen-year-old Aiden lived a quiet life in a small town conveniently named Khalm. Born with crescent-shaped irises and silver hair, young Aiden was never bothered by his unusual birthmarks until the night his life as a simple delivery boy changed. He was the 'Rebirth Destroyer', someone ruling powers deemed a threat. Chased by death and the foretelling of the world ending by his hands, Aiden soon finds that there are few people he can trust. My stories are fantasy-based and heavily influenced by classic Final Fantasy games ( by classic I mean 1-10 ) and other Japanese Role-Playing Games I used to enjoy, with one difference; the main characters are Black. July 2022 update! After months of deliberation, I've decided to continue with this cast of characters in the next books instead. The loose ends in this story have been keeping me up all night. I've gotten started on 2 sequels to this; Rebirth of Destiny II based on the good ending and the alternative ending. After I get a good backlog built up they'll be published once a week.

YAOS 1 - Limitless Adventures - Yet Another OP Story Book 1
December 23rd 2018: Book 1 is now up at Smashwords and at Amazon. December 30th 2018: V1.1.2 of YAOS Book 1 is out, some content additions, fixed typos. Amazon's enhanced typesetting now displays tables properly. YAOS is shown through the eyes of some genius athlete getting OP inside a VR, ah wait, Full Immersion game, ?F.I.O?. Not a Hero, not a Nerd, just a driven individual paying for mistakes made, biding time until he can return to the Real World. He isn't defined like you'd normally do it, you can pick his looks and name all on your own, just like you do in video games. Believe it or not, keeping his looks undefined is harder than you think. His backstory isn't expounded in detail, but it drives his choices. Book 1 isn't about depressing sob stories but about fun and rushing forward, pursuing new horizons. Oh, and you'll end on a cliffhanger! Well, most serials do, so you will probably expect that without being told explicitly. But it isn't that bad, there's a lot of reveals and more to come once this book, that is the first in a planned three-part series, is finally ready for release on amazon et al. The published version will have: 1.) Godawful speaker tags, I hate them, they make you stop thinking and speed up editing so much. In hindsight they should have been in to begin with. But I stand by my goals proclaimed earlier. You guys should think while reading, that is the whole point of the exercise. Apply the knowledge and ideas, improve yourself, get creative! 2.) Pretty colored tables, the damned blue boxes, a lot of work, 69 in one book. Finally fixed amazon's centering issue. Can't say I liked the hours needed to debug that. 3.) The promised Mitara chapters. 4.) A cover! 5.) And lastly, updated polished versions of several chapters. MC shares more of his past, some terrible chapters (esp. 32) finally work. Some new scenes, minor rewrites in parts. Text flow and other issues. The current challenge is to maintain essential ambiguity while satisfying people wanting to know more without thinking three steps ahead. Balancing one with the other is tough. The smut which was in remains, but the story told is not to be superseded by it. A 15+ rating for the first book is also important, not to mention, YAOS wasn't meant to contain any smut to begin with. If the Author can turn to writing full time his output should increase, so please support YAOS #1 once it does finally release. ~Thank You~ No maps so far, that should be in, but is really hard to get done right. Again, tips are appreciated. Update September 2017: Stubbed chapters, sorry guys, currently don't have time to upload them elsewhere, polishing book 1 and 2, writing 3, takes precedence. Book 1 is in heavy editing, too much to keep synced and continuing editing. I'd need a site which offers JS-free rapid managing of chapters and comments. Coding one myself or setting a premade up is out of scope until I'm done with the books. RRL-old offered that, nuff said. This is only here because the author believes in fairies, nobody reads this, most likely. October to December 2017: Life threw some curveballs. February 2018: Book 2 draft 1 completed, at ~150K words. Book 2 is fairly epic in scope, requires 1 rewritten chapter, some editing. Tables and miscellanea are in, but needs at least a grammar pass. March 2018: Book 3 at 28k words, first arc, rest needs serious planning for spin-off and satisfying conclusion. July 2018: Yet another proofing/editing session of books 1-3, 101+ chapters, ~300k words. B3 at 48k, starts out great, but no ETA, no wordcount limit, in flux. But prioritizing my writing cannot be done, I hate the delays as much as you, but you will prefer the whole released in a timely fashion rather than wait. Knowing myself how excruciating waiting can be, at least you'll get significantly polished versions and an ETA on book 2 by release of book 1. December 23rd 2018: Book 1 is now up at Smashwords and in the process at Amazon et. al.. . To all who wait patiently, offered feedback, thanks again!
