i followed the traces of blood and it led to an abandoned inn, then it led to a corner of the inn, i walked up to it and there is a scratch mark on it. a scratch mark with a handle hidden on it.

its small so i used my dagger to lift it, then i jumped down the child was sitting on an empty room, there is a candle in the middle. the child begged "please don't kill me! I'll do anything!"

i walked up to him, then i handed him a gold coin, and he reluctantly took it. then i said "I want you to work for me, is it ok?" then he looked at me, tears formed in his eyes and he said "yes!" then he hugged.

"recruited a common thief giving 100 villain points."

then i hugged him back, after he came back to his senses i said "I want you to keep stealing, if it is too dangerous i can ask you to do something else?"

he shook his head "don't worry! i will be able to do this!" i rubbed his head and asked him "what's your name" and he said "I... don't know... i lost my memory..."

i stopped rubbing his head then i said "then from now on, your name will be crimson, and your thief name will be night!" he replied "thank you miss but..." he looked away and i was confused about what he wants.

he continued "can you please continue rubbing my head?" i laughed and said "sure!" he might be a thief, but he is still a child. i gave him a dagger then i bought 3 agility potions for him.

"then i said "I hope you can keep this secret!" then he continously nodded at me. what's left in the shop is a heavy bone armor, and a farming skill book... but nevertheless i bought the skill book.

crimson said "thanks to the potion i feel like i can rob anyone and not get caught!" well it seems i will need to stock up on health potions and i will need to teach him how to steal properly...

i bought the necessary blacksmithing equipment and i kept them in my inventory, then i left the city and went to the forest. the forest has plenty of slime creatures, however the type of slime will also be important for the element.

ahh wait a minute... i don't have any ore... i sighed and said to myself "well i guess i guess i could recycle the weapons i got from the dungeon..." i think i should also make boots for the kid...

i smelted all the iron and steel from the weapons and saw that there were quite a lot of impurities on it. as for the water i turned it into wind slime goop. then i created ancient runes on the metal boots i learned from the controlled space.

then i finally created the finished product!

thankfully the runes are camouflaged now time to give this to him!
