Blacksmith Assassin Karina the Shadowmancer
While Zeke continued training himself, the other heroes did the same thing. Each of them having a specific regime that allowed the kingdoms to ensure that their heroes would be the strongest there is. Some are deployed to actual missions. Others are supplemented with powerful items and weapons. Then there are also those that go through certain rituals in order to instantly enhance their powers. Lastly, there is a single kingdom that focuses on giving their hero an easy time. Granting their hero the final strike when attacking any monster and, that’s what we’re going to witness at this very moment.“Aim for the head!” Sylph ordered as he dashed towards the gigantic Flame Salamander. A monster that is half the size of a true dragon but, is just as dangerous as this.The monster breathed flames into the elf and towards the others that fought in the front lines. But Sylph is able to stop this by casting a wind spell. Creating a wall of air that blocked the breath and, even forced it to go
Blacksmith Assassin Karina the Shadowmancer II
“Good work today everyone.” Sylph said to the unit that’s under his command.The group huddled together and went for a meeting right as soon as they took down the last monster for that day. It wasn’t the salamander that they fought last. Though it’s definitely the strongest, they had to deal with other strong monsters as well. Something that became bearable because their heroine, Karina, now has a fallen salamander as one of her shadow summon. “As you all know, the main purpose of our venture outside the walls of the kingdom is to ensure that lady Karina gets as much experience points as she needs.” Sylph explained. “With the number of monsters we’re killing everyday, I’d say we’re on track to making her strong enough to fight in the front lines.”“T-Thank you for your hard work everyone.” Karina bowed her head, stuttering just a bit at the beginning of her delivery. “I wouldn’t be able to get this far without your support.”It’s the truth. Karina’s job class requires that the oppone
Blacksmith Assassin Karina the Shadowmancer III
Sylph patiently waited for the return of the heroine. He didn’t even bother coming out to assist Karina because, he knows that the reaper would be able to win. And there are a couple of factors that made him think this of course. The first is that, Sylph’s wind magic affects the entirety of the nearby vicinity. This win is invisible to the naked eye of course and, cannot be treated as anything else other than part of the normal flow of wind because of how thinly this is dispersed.Yet even though the winds are in this kind of state, Sylph can still freely control it. That being said, he can infuse these winds with a lot of different stuff. And the one that he used for that moment gave a debuff to Karina’s enemies. Making their senses dull for a second. Enough for Karina to begin hunting them down.This is the only help he provided because Karina can take care of the rest. When the heroine’s personality changes, she’s also able to make use of all the skills that comes with the [Reaper]
Blacksmith Assassin Back to Square One
Seven days has passed. Within this period, all of the heroes from all twelve kingdoms made steady progress. They all trained and got stronger. The all fought and accumulated experience points. Various methods are used by these same heroes in order to ensure that they get the best results that could possibly be handed to them. And, for Zeke, this means pitting himself against Sylvia again. Engaging in combat against the female elf within the training grounds.This is the first time that they’re doing it again. After the first bout where Zeke simply got crushed miserably, this time he knows that things may be different. Things may go his way this time around because of a couple of factors. The first being that, he has gotten stronger since the first time they exchanged blows.He didn’t Think of doing this right away because of several reasons. But the primary one is because of his own pettiness. He doesn’t want to feel the very big gap between him and Sylvia anymore. He wants to focus o
Blacksmith Assassin Leveling the Playing Field
The sound of steel clashing against steel can be heard echoing across the whole of the arena. There is a solitude that it creates for this is nothing more than a solitary sound. Without any other sound mixing with it. Yet, this only makes the sounds intensify even more. Reverbing with a strength and sharpness that cannot be produced by mere common fighters.True to this statement, the ones fighting in that moment are none other than Zeke and Sylvia. The human who is proclaimed as the hero of the Forge Kingdom and, the female elf who is the right-hand of the king of this crumbling empireOnly focus could be felt with every exchange made by these two. Everything within their environment is non-existent. It’s like they are within a separate space. One which can only be accessed by the two of them. That is what it felt like. That is what they’re being made to feel like and, anything less than that would mean the death of only one person. The loosing side of this bout – none other than Zek
Blacksmith Assassin Dominic Rogue
My fellow spectator, we have now reached a point where the surface of the story has been scratched. Indeed, the world of Ragna is vast and, though the life of Zeke Elwood thus far seems to be peaceful, that is nothing more than a safety that is granted in the form of a privilege.After all, there will be no harm coming to Zeke Elwood because the kingdom he’s in is protected by the neighboring ones. That is also a testament to the strength of these said kingdoms. With the Elven Kingdom being one of the eleven that guards the safety and integrity of Forge. Among these is another that is problematic. Probably more so compared to the Elven kingdom and, this is none other than the kingdom of the Vampires. The Crimson Kingdom.“Octavia.” A teenager said, sitting on top of a mount of corpses.His upper shirt is already removed, revealing the well-cut muscles that are stained with the blood of those he slew. Yet there are no signs of any weapons being held by the said teen. The only thing th
Blacksmith Assassin Unexpected
Three more days have passed. Within this period, Zeke finally decided to head out and continue fighting the monsters of the demon lord. He has gathered enough information and, has also advanced in the way of making weaponry and equipment. Allowing him to get better gear which he can test out against the monsters or any bastard that dares try to get in his way.Though that in itself also has to wait because, within that same day, something else happened. A trouble occurred that is much larger than anything that Zeke had to face – a trouble that’s connected to a feat he just finished. That is, the murder of the elves including the general Adeline.This news is personally delivered to him by Sylvia. The dark elf rushed to the room where he’s in. Stopping Zeke in his preparations as the news is handed. This took away the grin on the hero’s face. Quite an understandable thing because the elves have ruined his plans.“They requested an audience with you my lord. Their queen herself has decr
Blacksmith Assassin Workshop
A couple of hours after Zeke’s departure is announced, the hero decided to prepare his things. He placed these in his inventory and made as many things in the forge as needed. After all, he’s not sure that he can use a forge on another kingdom and, even if he could, there is a great chance that he will be stopped. There is also the chance that the forge isn’t as good as the one that Heimdal does which is actually the greatest chance of being the case since, it is agreed within the whole of the kingdom that Heimdal’s forge is the second best. Only being beaten by the king’s forge.Then there is the third problem which is that, there can be those that would scout him while he goes on the forge. Not only this but it will also reveal his secondary job class. A trait that he wants to keep a secret as much as he could. The less of his hand that he shows, the greater his chances of winning after all. So he’s going to keep these things to himself until he gets strong enough to not care about

The Final Order
Elves have been called out to the middle of the barracks. To be exact, these are the soldier elves that are made to line up there and not speak a single word. Though this kind of command never works the way it’s intended if there are no commanding officers taking charge of the whole ordeal.The elves are lined up but there is nobody giving them orders. As such, it is only natural because of the level of boredom that they’re experiencing, for them to begin murmuring among themselves. Using as low of a tone as possible to do this so as to make sure that they do not attract any unwanted attention. And, this is one of the conversations going around in this place.“Hey, why are we called here? Do you guys have a clue?” The first elf asked the one beside him. On the line at his right and standing at the same position as he. That being said, the ones in front of them are their buddies and friends so these soldiers don’t mind that some talking is going on.“You idiot. Are you living under a r
Changes Approaching
The fight between Sylvia and Herald set off this way. All of the bystanders witnessed how sparks flew in the air. Mixed with afterimages after afterimages of these two great fighters. There is no doubt in everyone’s mind, after the first two minutes, that these two are going toe to toe. Impressing them even more especially considering that one of the contenders, Lady Sylvia, is using nothing more than a regular sword. And yet she is giving a good fight to such a gigantic weapon as a greatsword.In turn, everyone is also impressed with their king who is wielding the said gigantic weapon. It is not easy to swing the weapon around, nor to make nimble movements with it. This is basically seen as an impossibility and yet, King Herald is somehow able to do just this very thing with utmost ease. As if the rules do not apply to him at all. As if he transcends all human reason and logic with the way he moves his body around.The first few seconds where these two fought, everyone witnessed how
Something New
There are three training grounds that are currently being used. Within each one is a dark elf that’s assigned to watch over the rest as well as train them to the best of their abilities. For the archers and all other long ranged combatants, Aries is the one doing this work. For the spearmen and the other mid ranged combatants, it is Silver leading them.Though Silver is also, technically, an archer herself, she is also a well-rounded fighter. As such, she is comfortable even if she’s placed in this kind of position. Where she has to take up the role of mentoring with middle ranged weapons making her the most flexible.Obviously, it isn’t the first two mentioned that Sylvia went to. The dark elf didn’t bother going there because Caster made it specifically clear that it is in his training grounds that the king has gone to. King Herald Ironforge has gone to the training grounds of the melee fighters and the vanguards. All of which are being coached by Caster.When Sylvia arrived at the
The Progress
A day has passed since the events that happened in the workshop of the king. Sylvia, as a good right hand of the king, did not broadcast this to the whole of the kingdom. Nor did she even tell a single soul. She kept the information to herself, showing just how professional she is at handling things and, showing that the event that transpired isn’t enough to make her neglect her duties and responsibilities to the rest of the kingdom.Things need to keep on moving. Especially because they have to gather the strength needed to protect their kingdom all on their own. But more than that, they also need to gain enough power to be a self-sustaining kingdom that doesn’t need the help of the other kingdoms in order to survive with the basic necessities.That’s what Sylvia is currently working on. Her mind hard pressed on the task at hand as her eyes stared at the vast horizon. The open field where the crops have been planted and, are being taken care of partially using the ingenuity of the de
The King
Within the next couple of days that passed, Zeke continued his sole travel within the kingdom of the demon lord. This action worried the dark elf Sylvia because of the dangers that it posed. But, this same worry is diminished by the fact that she has been told by Aries about the plans of Zeke. As well as the abilities that the hero learned when he named his ego weapon.Adding to this is the fact that the hero’s glow stone is still, well, glowing. This is an item that is embedded in the throne of every monarch of every kingdom. Reminding them that the hero is of equal status to them. But more than this, the stone tells them whether or not their hero is still alive. A useful function when the hero is some considerable distance away from the king or queen and, to anyone who can make a speedy report.That being said, what has been mentioned offers nothing more than slight relief. Sylvia is still worried sick and, the only reason she can still tone this down is because she also has the who
Encounter III
“Well, I guess that’s that.” Daemon said as he looked at the unconscious hero that lay on the ground. “You’re the first hero to ever come and visit me so I have to give you some credit for that at least right? Though that doesn’t mean that you’re necessarily the best already. I’ve yet to see the other heroes and if they do the same stupid act as you, I doubt I’d spare them the same way.”The way that Daemon is speaking to Zeke at that moment would make you think that the hero can actually hear him. Zeke can’t of course. He’s already forced to be unconscious. Though that barely matters for Daemon. He doesn’t care about things like these. He simply wants to say what he wants and, that is exactly what he continued doing.“Anyway, you’re not going to forget about all of this. You’re head’s already been filled with a protective spell that secures your memories.” Daemon said as he placed his hand over the head of the hero. “There’s really something about you that’s uncanny my dear hero. You
Encounter II
“It’s been a long time since I flew this distance.” A deep and sharp tone. That is the voice of the creature that landed right in front of Zeke.There is no warning of his coming. There are no signs. Before Zeke can even prepare for it, Daemon’s already landed right in front of him. Gently. Elegantly. Without a single sound being made. Without a single stone being shaken. And that is all the more reason why this whole thing is frightening. Because, a creature with such an immense amount of power has appeared in front of him in such a silent way.Every fiber of Zeke’s being is telling him to run away. To run as fast as he can and never look back. There are no thoughts of fighting coming through his head at all. Not even the slightest bit humored his imagination because, the only thing playing in his mind is his own death. The thing playing in his mind is how he will be killed by this being that just appeared. Yet his body can’t move.No matter how much he’s telling it to, his body just
Encounter
Zeke Elwood, the hero of Forge, now has access to a total of one hundred summons. All of which can be brought out at the same time. Just like that, in the blink of an eye, the hero has a sizable army that he can use. One that will get him through the first couple of fights within the demon kingdom. Though there is a bit of a problem mixed along with all of this.As Zeke raised his summons, there is a new notification that popped out. The text on it is connected to the summons and it reads:[Current Summon Limit Reached][Information: You have reached the limit of your summons for now. Raising another monster requires that some from the old batch be taken down using multiple methods available.“I knew it was too good to be true.” Is the only thing that Zeke can say in response to this. He already thought that something like this could happen. That there would be trouble when it comes to the summons. Though the thing is that, nothing is said about it in the details of the summoning. Bu
Entry
Zeke has entered the demon kingdom. That is a more proper term for the place that goes beyond the border of every other kingdom outside of its jurisdiction. A place that can be specifically mapped out because of the thick miasma that’s spread across the whole of the place. A thick layer of darkness that covers the domain of the demon lord. Created from the mana and aura of all the monsters and demons that thrive within this place. Something that makes the monsters stronger while also, as far as the legends and hearsay goes, weakens any other race who dares to step foot inside this place.But now that Zeke is there, it’s easy enough for him to see that all of this is nothing more than mere gossip. His body felt fine even as he entered the domain of the demon lord. But the only reason that he is this way is because of the blessing he’s received from the god that favored him.Heimdal, his sponsoring god, unbeknownst to him, has also granted him protection from the miasma of this place.
