Chapter 6: Praying to the Angel

"Ho ho ho, Not much of a example but it shall work" said Harry.

"So much for a good example

Can I get the finest quality Iron you have?" said Broken Fire.

"What do you mean finest quality?" said Harry.

"Like Uncommon iron to try and give me a better chance to forge something above my paygrade." said Broken Fire.

"Ho ho ho, sure" said Harry smiling ear to ear.

Waving his hand 2 uncommon iron ingots plopped on the ground.

"These shall do" Harry said.

Already used to Harry's sorcery, Broken Fire grabbed one of the ingot after accepting the quest.

Quest Given by: Harry

Task: Forge a Green Shield(Attempts: 2)

Reward: §§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§

Failure: Just Friends with "Harry"

With Gruv's new hammer he started pounding away at the ingot starting at 10%

Clang!(10%,Okay)

Clang!(30%,Okay)

Clang!(50%, Good)

Clang!(70%, Excellent)

While forging the Uncommon Ingot he was so excited creating something different than a Longsword while also getting the equipment to Excellent on his first try!

He hit a fragile part of the shield he was forging while being excited.

Broken Fire's eyes wide open at the mess that just happened from that one hammer stroke.

Bang!(70%,Perfect(Broken))

Broken Fire look down at the Shield that was now finished because of the one happy moment ruining it all.

A broken item.

Cracks throughout the Shield making the shield practically worthless.

After observing it Broken Fire mulled over the fact it didn't even have a ability and was a (White)Shield.

"Wowzers

Almost had me shocked, for a beginner to make a Excellent quality item one his first try without a Design, that would be site, nevertheless.

You have one more try young blacksmith." said Harry

Broken Fire looked at the ceiling and silently Prayed to the Angel he saw at the beginning of the game Asphea.

Please, Please, Please let me succeed in this forge.

The probability of actually making a Green item while being a level under was less than .01%, 1 in 1000 chance to actually succeed but that's for base items and no special influences.

With a uncommon ingot and the 10% buff to success(quickens the process) it should be around .1%.

Broken Fire took the last Uncommon Iron Ingot he was given and put it on the anvil

Clang!(10%,Okay)

Clang!(40%,Good)

Clang!(70%,Good)

Clang!(80%,Good)

When he was about to do another hit on the newly forming Shield there was a bright yellow twinkle in his hammer.

"Hmph, messing with others fate" said Harry, quietly to himself while his eyes slanted a little, While flicking his finger with a shadow flashing on him for a split second.

Clang!(100%,Perfect)

Broken Fire's eyes lit up at the success and still silently prayed for it to be Green tier.

Observing the Shield he had hope in his heart.

(Green) Shield:

Perfect Ability: Iron Wall(Forms a wall in front of the user that negates up to 3000 damage for 5 seconds, Cooldown: 1hr)

What was he looking at?

A masterpiece!

Broken Fire surmised that this was probably the most powerful shield in the game at the moment that players had. After all, he was the only one to pass the first test by Harry, the only Blacksmith in Strata.

"Ho ho ho, What a site to see, what a site to see definitely, even if there was some funny business." said Harry

"Since you have passed both of my trials I shall give you the rewards for the endeavor:

The first reward is the skill book Instant craft,

The Second Reward is a unique class called the Divine Blacksmith,

Finally the Third Reward is a little unique in its self.

It is a favor from users truly to make one item" said Harry.

"Ho ho ho, I almost forgot to tell you, one important thing.

For my real name is Hephaestus" said Harry

Somewhere in the Heavens, God Asphea was looking through a glass ball. 

"Weird, I should have helped him make a Epic Shield with that blessing" 

"What happened?"
