Forging a Soul

"So you say if I forge a hammer it fuses with me and awakens my soul and strengthens me greatly? Why do we wait let's get to it! But why do we need the Teeth of that damned Rabbit?"

"Don't ya know the only thing harder than those teeth is adamantite or a diamond.

Come let me show ya something.

If ya just start to forge ya'r work will fail.

Ya have to get to a right state mind to forge something."

"Skill learned Mind of Forging"

"Now I show ya how to forge a hammer.

first, you take some metal and the teeth you make a bundle out of both materials and put it in the forge. Ya wait till it's white-hot then ya put it on the anvil and softly hit it in order to consolidate it then you fold it and repeat the whole process then after several folds ya forge the hammer and ya add an eye.

then ya make a handle out of wood and connect it with the hammerhead."

John thought that it seemed easy so he sat down and started meditating thinking about how to forge the hammer going through all the steps and imagining them.

"Mind of Forging activated"

John stood up took the teeth and the old man handed him three pieces of silvery metal that look expensive but he didn't interrupt his forging to look what it was.

He stacked the materials heated them up, forged them and folded them. John repeated it several times and thought about how easy it suddenly is to forge.

"Maybe because of the Mind of Forging?" John whispered to himself.

John added the eye and put the hammerhead in the forge for a last heat. He brought it up to critical temperature and quenched it in cold water then he put it near the opening of the forge to temper it for several hours.

During the tempering wanted to prepare the handle and the old man helped him.

The old man brought a silvery piece of wood that was heavier than it looks. Both took their time making a rough form out of the handle and as soon as the hammerhead was finished with tempering they connected both of them and finished all the grinding.

At last the old Smith brought a piece of a big bone and some leather that looked like it was from a snake as it had scales.

Out of the bone they made bone glue with which they glued a strip of the leather to the handle to make an arm string.

John gazed at his hammer as it was finished until it suddenly flew right into him and he felt somehow complete like his brother was with him playing the game with him.

"Congratulations for acquiring a Titans Soul you unlocked the special race skill Reality Forging."

John thought about his hammer and suddenly it was in his hand.

"I shall name you Erinnerung!"

Erinnerung

Rank: Growth (Normal)

Soulbound

A heavy hammer worthy being the soul of a Titan. The head was made out of the teeth of a white Rabbit King and Mythril for supreme Hardness and Toughness. The handle was carved out of Ironwood which makes the hammer heavier and stronger also an arm sling out of Dragonsskin was glued to it with behemoth bone glue.

The materials are top-class but the rough forging downgrades it but enables the hammer to grow stronger than it would have been. The soul of the Titan Chrome.

John couldn't believe his luck maybe his bad luck steak ends now...

Hey guys sorry for the delay of this chapter i had to stop as i was writing it as i was to tired but in exchange you get a longer chapter than usual.

Also i hope you liked the crafting part of this chapter and for all of those who want know what "erinnerung" means i am german and i thought the german word for remembrance was a good choice as he plays this game to remember his brother.
