《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.
Skill Name:Skill Quality:Skill Mastery:Skill Progression:CraftingUncommonExceptional0.2%Player is able to create weapons and tools up to [Green] Tier.
[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.

Luck And Chronomancy
Time Magic is the best magic as everyone knows, although there are lots of unique Talents in the world. Most people only remember Haste because it is hard to get to higher Phases of Chronomancy. That is still enough to make the Talent iconic. A lucky enough Aleatory Talent can position you for greatness or leave you languishing in obscurity. The only true equality in the world is when that glowing message pops up at 8 years old. Even if it doesn't activate until you are an adult at 16 you still know. Sure you can find a new dungeon spawn and get another chance at a rare Talent, even this one, but you have to already be ready to delve into the *Far Wilds*, which is far easier with wealth or family power. This is the story of where my good fortune took me and the difference it made, even among a party of 7 others including an Arcanist. It is a journey of magic and monsters but also math, which some think is actually worse. Luckily I was born with Intelligence and Focus as my personal traits, and my parents were scholars. Of course Chronomancy can also be a frontline combat talent. Versitility well beyond other Elder Talents like Gravity, Abstraction, or Arcana. Might could have worked for me, too. I also met a runaway princess. All the best adventures have a princess. She hated being a noble and we didn't get married but it still counts. Besides she really filled out our front line. All that Leadership training came in handy. I still don't know where she's from. Who cares? How well Haste goes with giant hammers is what's important. I never learned much about anyone in the party, except the one I grew up with. I'm not a people person. I just wanted to optimize dungeon clearing time. *******Story Details******* No romance, politics, or traumatizing content, slice of life, or even dialogue. 1st person narration, like a guide/adventure log. 2000-7000 words a day, maybe 40-60% rpgish combat log with some reasoning on combat decisions, with the rest character Talent discussion and progression stuff. 8 person party with a decent variety in roles. Party members usually have 2 primary functions. Told from the support/control Chronomancer's perspective. Each party member will have 6 Basic/Background Traits, then 3 actual Talents with abilities. Capstone from their Educational Institution, Arbritrary as a gift from the temples, and Aleatory which is decided at birth, revealed at 8, and activated after adulthood at 16. Aleatory Traits ignore requirements and are random why is why they are so important. They'll gain new Talents from finding Dungeons to consume in the *Wilds*. Mature dungeons in cities can provide *Challenges* to raise the Phase of a Talent, up to 3 times from 1 to 4. Each character will get to roughly 8 non-Trait Talents. Attributes come exclusive from Talents, are required by Talents, and provide various effects as well. I designed about 220 Talents with abilities, 4 in each of 4 phases. "Traits" are just Attribute stuff. I'm not sure how many will be detailed in the story, more than 100 for sure. I used Talents because I want to be free of the legacy of tabletop. Half those rules are just because of the limitations inherent in a pre-computer ttrpg. This story mostly uses combat Talents, although like 1/3 of the 220 are for crafting and other society and economy stuff. If you really wanted to be a Thief you might take Intuition, Awarness, and Might for Basic Traits and Deftness, Manipulation, and Trickery for Family/Education. Then you'd pick Acrobatics, and Climbing for Educational Capstone and Arbitrary traits. You Aleatory Trait might be Shadow(Light/Dark) Magic, Umbramancy. A Bard might swap Dexterity for Charisma, Music for Acrobatics, and have gotten Illusion(Shadow/Sound(Air/Force)) for their Aleatory Trait.
