The Tower's Blacksmith

Burdened by debts and on the edge of losing his workshop, Rivyn’s life turns around when he finds out that he got a mysterious System, which is different from the ones that every adventurer and blacksmith receive. This special System lets him create not only weapons and armor but potions, accessories, and Skill Books as well. Rivyn regains all his mechanical astuteness thus meaning he was given a second shot at success but at a great price. To progress he has to earn the system points for doing the hard tasks and doing it, better than anyone else. On the story’s premise, Rivyn’s talent increases with conflicts among guilds that want to monopolize the skills within the powerful organization. However, Rivyn isn’t interested in either fighting for the Renegades or becoming one of them. His only focus is mastering the art of crafting—until danger forces him to confront the truth: as strength is dominant even a simple blacksmith sometimes has to use a sword for his own protection. Given the looming complicated foes, guilds tempting and wooing him, and the ever present mystery of the System, Rivyn has to deal with the balance between craftsmanship and living. Will he grow up to be the world’s greatest blacksmith or will he be ravished by the powers that want to take him over?

Commission

Rivyn stared at the commission details with a mix of curiosity and resolve. A rapier wasn't his typical project—his expertise lay in crafting swords built for power, durability, and versatility. But the challenge intrigued him. A rapier demanded precision and finesse, qualities that would test his skill in new ways. He wanted this creation to be flawless, reflecting the grace and elegance of the weapon itself.

He meticulously selected the materials. The blade required a blend of strength, flexibility, and sharpness, so he chose a combination of high-carbon steel and titanium alloy. He examined each ingot under the forge's light, scrutinizing for impurities or inconsistencies. Any flaw, no matter how small, could compromise the weapon. After an hour of inspection, he finally had the perfect pieces.
