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?

Welcoming

Rivyn sat in his modest room, adjusting the straps of his reinforced greatsword. His fingers brushed over the cool steel, the familiar sensation grounding him in his thoughts. For weeks, he had heard the whispers about what awaited those who dared to step into the 21st floor's residential area. Stories of veterans waiting at the teleportation portals, eager to bully and extort newcomers under the guise of tradition.

Normally, Rivyn wasn't one to care about such things, but he also wasn't fond of unnecessary conflict. These veterans were wasting time and resources just to satisfy their egos, and he didn't intend to entertain them. Instead of heading straight for the new residential area after clearing the 20th floor, Rivyn had chosen to stay back, honing his skills and perfecting his crafts.

Unbeknownst to him, this decision had caused quite the stir among those waiting to prey on fresh challengers.
