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?

Unofficial Rankings

That gave them all a full week to get ready for the start of the second floor, two days having passed since the system's announcement. As that was happening outside, Rivyn stayed inside his temporary home, crafting, getting ready for what was awaiting him in the next stage. Still being inside, he started to notice certain organization amongst the other participants:.

Combat slowly became a daily routine, but even before the second floor showed up, people were also coming out against others to make themselves better. A few large coin-possessing individuals due to great rankings, like Rivyn, invested in buying houses where they could prepare in isolation. Evidently, that did not mean the ones without as many coins were slacking: pockets of adventurers were sparring and honking loudly. It is in this context that unofficial ranking lists began to show up: who is the best fighter, who has won the most matches, whose growth is most impressive.
