Smith and Wesen: A Modern Blacksmith's Magical Reincarnation

"You're just a Nenner! A glorified blacksmith! You can't possibly stand up against a Zahler's elemental power!" "As if that'll stop me! A Zahler might have the elements under their control, but that won't matter if I have a Seigel-riddled weapon for every occasion!" ⬛⬛⬛ Wesen... the innate power within that allows a person to manipulate the world around them. While it sounded straightforward enough, Rouge still has a lot to learn if he wanted to harness it for his own benefit. Thankfully, being a standard guy with blacksmithing as a hobby had given him a headstart in the new pseudo-medieval world that he now found himself in. In fact, blacksmithing in general is an integral part of his new life and the Wesen-filled wonders that entailed it. It was a good thing too, especially since it would be the one ticket he had to get out of the servitude of the Empire that insisted on grinding him under its heel. With his newfound power of rune-like Seigels at his disposal, Rouge will take the Matheman Empire by storm as he builds his rebellion into a force to be reckoned with. He will ensure that his fellow Nenners will be free from the Empire's oppressive practises, and he sure as hell will do it if it was the last thing he did. Well, that, and he refused to live in a backwater medieval world for longer than he could manage it. His modern sensibilities demanded proper technology, and he was sure that even his half-complete understanding of modern science will give him the edge he needs to take on a literal continent-spanning Empire. ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛ UPDATES: Daily 19:00 JST Twitter: @ChellyArks

While the abandoned settlement was all but within our reach, we decided to set up camp just a ways away from the old walls of the village itself. We were currently in a small clearing surrounded by trees, of which most of them have either fallen over or were wholly chopped off or damaged.

"Wow... The collateral damage around here is extensive," I couldn't help but notice.

"The battle that ensued during our defense necessitated extreme force," Mathilde pointed out. "The Empire spares no expenses when it comes to destroying its enemies, whether collateral or environmental."

I couldn't help but agree with that. Somehow, just seeing all of this destruction made me feel a sense of melancholy at all of the lives that were wasted. The feelings of pressure that somehow bore down on me almost felt personal, as if I was the one that had to take responsibility for all of this...
