Raijin City, Capital of the Rexhart Kingdom
It was the name the founding king decided upon due to the Rexhart Clans affinity with lightning. It was an ode to the myth of the God of Lightning . With a population that is north of 30 million, it is the most populated human city in the world and has been for centuries. Magic artefacts were littered around the city, whether that be artefacts to light up the city, or artefacts that produce holograms like maps or products.
On this particular day, a group of youth manoeuvred through the bustling crowd in the market. Leading the pack was a white haired boy, pacing through crowd with 4 trailing
"It's getting dark" He moaned as he struggled for air
"And why do you think we are late!?" A haughty youth with jet black glared daggers into Jude's back. Eliciting a playful reply in turn.
"Ayy~, why are you always so rude Kai, I'm a prince ya know, the future KING, kinda prince aswell~."
"Shut up the both of you, pick up the speed. The shops going to close soon" Interrupting the two, an emerald haired beauty overtook the two.
"You heard the lady~, let's go!" Cheered on a boy with similar emerald coloured hair.
"Obviously you would agree with Lina ,Yan, she's your sis after all. But I guess your right."

Sounds of hammers smashing ores reverberated around the area. In a busy sector of the market was a blacksmith, it was run by dwarves who emigrated to the human domain a long time ago and was famous for the high quality equipment. In the far off corner of said blacksmith was a dwarf that was rather large compared to the standard height one would assume for a dwarf at 5'7, Ilgor pounded the ore again and again.
Walking up to Ilgor, Jude was taken back by the extreme heat of the furnace. Regardless of how loud he yelled for Ilgor, there was no reply. Just the continual and rhythmical sound of armour being shaped and refined. Finally, after a rather long wait, he acknowledged the presence of the youths
"So what are a bunch of brats doing in my shop?" Ilgor gave a brief look over the possible customers but then looked rather disappointed to see a bunch of kids.This did not deter the group as Jude then made their request.
"We wanted you to forge our equipment for the tournament, I heard you are one of the best blacksmiths in the world."
"Tsk, flattery won't work kid, my equipment isn't something a brat can afford" contrary to his words, Ilgor looked rather happy from the words
'So what Mr Kazura said was true, he's easily seduced by flattery'
With a smile that seemed to be prepared for this, Jude laid out a few pouches on the table
"You do not need to worry about the costs,we have enough money!"
Having glanced over the pouches which were no bigger then a fist each, Ilgor snorted with disdain before replying.
"Listen here brat, a few pouch of silver coins won't be…..able ...…to" as he looked over the pouches again, he noticed they were not filled with silver coins but rather platinum and gold coins. With his mouth agape for a while,Ilgor changed his tone.
"So dear customer, what equipment is it you desire" in the most sincere tone which one would not have assumed could come out of this foul mouthed dwarf moments ago.
Lina looked sceptically at the dwarf before speaking to Jude
"Jude, are you sure he is as good as you say?"
Which resulted in receiving a glare from the dwarf but Jude spoke with confidence.
"Mr Kazura said he was one of the best,so I am sure he is!" This pleased Ilgor who was listening in on their conversation.
" For this wise lad, he can get a discount of 5%" with a smile,mirroring that of a scammer, Ilgor then started to work on their request.
"Your order will be ready in 2 weeks, so it should be a few days before the festival begins."
Chapters may be slow to release as I’ve decided to stock up on chapters so I can release in a more regular release
