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?

Rivyn leaned back in his chair, his eyes scanning the system interface as he deliberated his next move. He had been pondering over his growing accumulation of system points, now totaling a respectable amount. He had been saving these points for something worthwhile, waiting for the right skills to come along. System points were invaluable, granting access to rare and powerful abilities that could fundamentally shift the balance of power in any battle.

Rivyn opened the skill menu, scrolling through the options available to him. Most of the choices offered utility benefits, such as increased mana regeneration or better crafting enhancements, but none struck him as immediately necessary. His main concern now was combat—offensive and defensive skills that would give him an edge in the grueling battles he anticipated in the higher waves.
