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 10 – Mission]

[Defeat 100 Trolls]

[Rewards: 100 coins (Completed)]

Rivyn wiped the sweat off his brow, his chest heaving with the exertion, finally, as the last of the trolls finally fell to earth, shaking it with its collapse. The grotesque, hulking body crumpled under the weight of its defeat, signaling the end to a long, grueling fight. Rivyn had just made his way to the 10th floor of the tower, and it was anything but Sunday stroll-in-the-park easy. What began with an almost easy climb upwards through the first to the fifth floor gradually became one of exponential difficulty by the time he reached the 6th. The monsters grew bigger, more formidable, and considerably cunning.

In particular, hard to get around were the trolls.
