One day later...
The rhythmic sound of metal against metal filled the air as Shinon diligently worked on fulfilling his latest orders. He meticulously crafted a set of daggers, his hands moving with practised precision.
"Twelve more, and I'll reach the 300th forging mark," Shinon mumbled as sweat dripped down his face. "It better be worth it..."
The daily quest Shinon received this time around was quite weird. He was asked to create 300 things within 48 hours, and if he was successful, a surprise awaited him.
As he was no longer worried about Rico, he could spend a lot more of his time focusing on getting stronger and hoped crafting stuff would be one such way to increase his strength.
"Another one," Shinon whispered, keeping his latest creation: A kitchen knife aside.
The sunlight streamed through the window, casting a warm glow upon his workbench, but Shinon remained focused, absorbed in his task.
"What with all the noise?"
