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?

Floor 21

Rivyn leaned back in his chair, staring at the message notification hovering in front of him. It was from Kharon, a familiar name in his otherwise cluttered inbox filled with commission requests and guild offers. After weeks of relentless alchemy, crafting, and grinding, Rivyn found himself considering Kharon's repeated invitation to tackle the 31st floor together.

The sale of the bow had been a significant milestone. Fetching 45,000 coins, it was the highest value he had earned for a single item. Rivyn smiled faintly, acknowledging his growing reputation as a skilled craftsman. Despite this, there was a gnawing feeling that it was time for a change of pace.

"Why not?" Rivyn muttered under his breath. He quickly composed a reply to Kharon.

[Rivyn: I'll join you for the 31st floor. But only this floor.]

Kharon's response came almost instantly, brimming with enthusiasm.
