FOREST OF DEATH
The forest at the northern edge of Ruth city is inhabited by dangerous monsters, it may look calm from outside but as one goes deep into it, he would only see the sea of blood. But currently the king's throne of the forest was vacant, numeral wars were happening deep inside the forest among the monsters to get up to the throne and acquire it. It was called as the period of chaos by the citizen of Ruth city as the monsters while fighting might come of the forest and destroy the city to rubbles.
Sungwoo entered the city and saw the labours working hard to build back the city which was destroyed by the goblin chief, the day before according to the intel. He then saw the a hoarding handing on a big wall and it was saying smithy. It was what he was searching for since there is no weapon he was carrying on him. But the atmosphere inside was different from what he thought it would be.
At the building inside was completely running down, the roof was like it would fall even with a smack. At the other hand was a moving figure whose direction was towards him , it was the blacksmith who was looking at thin as a stick with his soul coming out of his mouth he said,"I am hungrrryyyyyy...Give me food..." with this he grabbed Sungwoo coat and fall down on floor flat. Sungwoo sighed and took him to one of the inn where he ordered food for him. While eating food in hurry like he hadn't eaten his whole life the blacksmith who was a elf thanked Sungwoo while spilling out the food from his mouth. At the same time a thought was going around him,"well this young man is not a newbie, the presence he entered my smithy was none less than that of the king. He even didn't get stumbled when i put all my weight on him while grabbing his coat and he was already on guard without even in fighting stance."
"Seems like i am going to see something new after so long."With this thought in his mind ,He smirked and after wiping of the booze from his kept and keeping down the barrel of booze with his other hand he said,"Youngman my name is Brahmath, I am the greatest blacksmith in this tower and was hiding from the tower for years but you are the first one after 100 years after him who found my smithy. It seems like you already know me. So tell me what you want me to craft for you but you must be prepared to bear the cost of the item crafted." Sungwoo didn't let his thought reflect on his face but he was shocked as he was not knowing that the almost death man he found in that runned down smithy was the greatest craft man of the tower.At the same time he was feeling as great happiness as he would be able to achieve his goal easier and efficiently. He smiled excitedly even showing it to the people present there, he started laughing like a mad man. It was going to be night soon, seeing him laughing like that the elf thought,"Seems like the new thing i am going to see is maddness."with this the sweat of doubt rolled down his forehead.
At he next morning, there was the fire burning in the furnace along with the sound of hammering the molten iron was going on inside the smithy,. it was the atmosphere which was best suited for a smithy. Suddenly the door sounded as if someone entered and it was Sungwoo, he said,"Ajhussi, What are you crafting even though i didn't ordered anything."
Brahmath took off his cloth mask and said,"Well madman , i am preparing a sword for you after seeing you". Sungwoo smiled happily like he felt a family attachment with Brahmath and siad,"Thanks ajhussi, lets meet at evening." But that evening was going to be the one who was going to make the remaining human inside one to die forever.
