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?

Plans

The 21st-floor area was a hub of activity now, a far cry from the peaceful days Rivyn spent when he first arrived. It was now pulsating, it seemed, with energy as more challengers came to make their way through Floors 21 to 30, bringing life yet chaos with them.

Rivyn's friends, Virela, Nebeus, Barry, Kalen, and Kharon, had reached the 22nd floor, their progress steady but not without challenge. Rivyn wasn't part of their group, but he shared a bond with them forged through mutual respect and occasional collaboration. The only floor he had ever cleared with them was the 21st, a memory that stood out as a rare instance of teamwork in his typically solitary climb.
