Right after the conversation with Sylvia, Zeke and the dark elf went straight into the heart of the city. The place where one specific blacksmith can be found – none other than King Heimdal himself. A king that rules over the dark elves and has made the most splendid weapons throughout the years.

This is the introduction given to Daemon regarding the king. The very words that came out of Sylvia’s lips. He can see the enthusiasm on the face of the dark elf while talking about this very king which, tells him one other thing, that even though Forge Kingdom is in this state, the king isn’t someone that the people hates. At least not absolutely.

In light of this, Zeke and Sylvia went down a spiraling path. It seems that the place they’re visiting is not above ground. No. It is under it. And as Zeke and Sylvia took what seems to be a secret route, they arrived, in the blink of an eye, to a door that stands in their way.

Even outside, Zeke can hear the hammering of steel. There’s something a

    “My lord, someone is here to see you.”These are Sylvia’s words as soon as she entered the forge. The king continued hammering down the weapon that he’s making. But he still found the time to give a reply nonetheless.“Sylvia, I told you that I’m busy didn’t I?” It’s at this point that Zeke felt the overwhelming difference between him and the dark elf that’s fixated on making the weapon before him. A large gap in strength to be exact that, he believes, is something that he wouldn’t be able to overcome any time soon. Not with his own capabilities at least. A challenge that he’s now gladly taken upon himself.“You seem to be a very busy person my lord.” Zeke suddenly said. He was told by Sylvia beforehand not to say anything until he’s given permission. But with the way that things are going, he knows that this would take too long. If he has to wait for the king to be ready, the time for them to hold a discussion may never come anymore. So he’s just going to force it and, sure enough,

    The king stopped in his tracks. There is a silence that spread once more. Far greater than the one that’s already passed. And with this, came a stare. A deadly stare that is directed right at Zeke Elwood. Making the human feel the animosity of the great king of the dark elves. Making him feel the deadly rage that can result in his death.“If I were you boy, I would be careful what I’d say next.” The king began. “I am not a king who has patience with impudence.”The heat became much more unbearable for Zeke all of a sudden. He can feel his nerves all trembling, every muscle, every fiber of his being, is screaming for him to run away. He can be broken like a twig. That is how easy it would be for the king of the Forge Kingdom to kill him. And his whole being knows this, down to his very core.“Forgive me, my king.” Zeke bowed his head right away. “But to get your full attention, I thought that an action like this is necessary for me to take.”“And you have that now. My full undivided at

    “HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!”The king bellowed in laughter. His strong and loud voice spread across the four corners of the forge. Revibrating so powerfully that Zeke felt his body tingle just from this. Any longer and he’d also lose his hearing probably. That’s how strong the laugh of the king is. Thankfully, Zeke didn’t have to endure for too long as, the laughter came to an abrupt halt.“You want to take all of the scarp daggers? That’s what you came to me for?” The king wiped a tear that formed on one of his eyes. “Oh that’s priceless.”Now, Zeke has changed the mood entirely. He started off with a feeling that he’s about to be killed. But now it’s died down because of this new statement of his that’s just as absurd as the first. But he knows that this privilege that he has would be gone soon if he doesn’t make full use of it. That’s why he spoke as fast as he could. Following up when the king stopped speaking.“This is a way for me to show my worth to the kingdom my king.” Zeke said. “I wis

    Dawn has broken over the horizon. The sun’s rays began to reach out to everything that it can touch. All that exists within the world of Ragna – basking it in sunlight. And with this happening, there is a single person who failed to witness it again. None other than the very ruler of the kingdom of Forge. Herald Ironforge.The dark elf continued with his work, not wanting to be bothered. Not even the slightest bit. He hammered down on the steel at the anvil creating a new weapon, a different one compared to what he was finishing the day that he and Zeke Elwood held their conversation. Though his focus isn’t necessarily on his craft at the moment because of another dark elf who’s in the same room as he. Sylvia Swiftfoot.“You seem to be investing more and more time inside my workshop Sylvia.” The king said. “Do you need anything?”“I’m just here to report that he isn’t back yet.” Sylvia replied. “He said that he’d be back today but, nobody from the walls has caught sight of him, not ev

  • Blacksmith Assassin   Unexpected Encounter

    Contrary to what she felt earlier, the dark elf Sylvia Swiftfoot is now elated. Extremely so because of what just happened with her king. Now they have a godly weapon that they can give to their hero. An assassin blacksmith who will now be supplemented with nothing less than, what can arguably be the best pair of daggers in the entirety of Ragna.Of course the heroes of the other continents may also have ego weapons supplied to them. But, in her heart, Sylvia knows that the thing in her hands is the best by far. That’s why she rushed as fast as she could to the gates of the castle after hearing the news that Zeke Elwood has made his return as well. She didn’t doubt this for a second of course but, for Zeke to actually return after all of that simply means that he is everything he set himself to be. A hero for this kingdom unlike anything it has ever seen. And this just gives Sylvia all the more reason to rush. Not wanting to make their hero wait any longer.Now their kingdom will be

    “That was…”“Spectacular? Amazing? Fantastic?” Zeke offered as many adjectives as he could with a smile growing on his lips at the same time. “I know. You don’t even need to finish.”“You really are full of yourself huh.” She said in reply.“Well, I did get back here in one piece so, you can imagine how full of myself I must be after killing all those goblins.”“Wait. You actually did it?”“Uhh…yeah? That’s what I set out to do remember?” Zeke replied as if this is the most obvious thing yet Sylvia still missed it. “To be fair, the dark elf isn’t really in her elements yet. Nobody can blame here because her emotions have been on a roller-coaster ride since early that day. It all started with her disappointment toward her own king and her people. Then this is followed by ecstasy from the fact that an ego weapon is made by the same king for their hero. The third she felt is anger and irritation towards Adeline that stepped out of line and barged into their kingdom. Then there’s the joy

  • Blacksmith Assassin   Elven Kingdom

    Forge kingdom is built upon steel and bricks. There aren’t much wood as far as the material is concerned because of the dangers that this would bring, especially in high quantities. After all, this kingdom is one that focuses on creating weaponry, armor, trinkets, and other equipments. As such, they rely heavily in flames and, in large amounts at that. The very same reason why plants and trees cannot thrive within the walls of their kingdom.The Elven Kingdom is the exact opposite. Everywhere you look, there are trees and wildlife scattered around. There is a river with pure water where everyone gathers their drinks from. They have fresh air, the purest kind. And, there is a sense of peace and serenity across its entirety.With it being this way, you’d think that it’d be easy to invade. However, nothing can be further from the truth because, it is this very reason why the Elven Kingdom is impregnable. It can be said that the trees surrounding the place has a life of their own.

    Zeke took a much-needed rest. Although he did finish everything that he set out to do by destroying all of the goblins in the village and, even doing more than that by taking out the raiding hobgoblins that came after, that doesn’t mean that he didn’t sustain any damage at all.His whole body is sore and he can feel his mental being more and more drained by the second. That’s why he decided that the best course of action for him to take at the moment is this very thing – rest. He needs to rest for his own sake so that he would be in his optimum performance.Another reason why he needs this is, because of what came afterwards. As soon as Zeke woke from his slumber, the sun is already past its prime. There are two more hours before it sets over the horizon, bringing the world back to darkness. Though it is a pity that Zeke isn’t able to do much during the day, he plans to compensate it now. With him appearing in the training grounds of the kingdom.The facility itself isn’t half bad. Th

    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.

    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.

    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.
