Ding!

[You have completed the quest: Forging Weapons for War. Remaining time: 1 day, 15 hours, 43 minutes, 23 seconds.]

[You have received 30,000 Technology Points as a reward.]

[You have received 30,000 merit points (Blacksmith Guild) as a reward.]

[You currently own 35,000 merit points, which allows you to be promoted to the position of [Rank 3 — Legacy Member].] [However, as your current position within the Blacksmith Guild is [Rank 3 — Honorary Lesser Elder], this promotion has not been applied.]

[Your affinity with Julian has increased by 100 points. Current relationship: Acquaintance.]

[Your reputation in the Blacksmith Guild has increased by 50 points. Current reputation: Barely known through hearsay.]

[Your reputation in Algerie Kingdom has increased by 10 points. Current reputation: Baseless positive rumors.]

Obtaining a series of notifications the very moment he tossed the final weapon he forged for the quota into the pile, a satisfied smile crept up Valyrʼs lips as he immediately dispelled all of the extra pairs of arms around him.

Placing the Hammer of Beginnings back into his spatial bracelet, he then called for a staff member to bring the weapons he forged to Julian, letting out a slight yawn in the process.

”I suppose Iʼve found my current limit.” Finally feeling a hint of sleepiness wash over him, the smile on his face turned wry as he thought about heading back to the inn.

With that, he sent a message to Julian of his plans, informing the man that he had just completed the quota given to him.

In response, Julian told him that the guild was more than willing to enlist his help in completing the quota once more, though he mentioned that he should prioritize rest first.

”Iʼve had a couple of the staff members keep an eye on you for the past couple of days,” said Julian through his message. ”To think you havenʼt gotten any proper rest… you should really rest now that youʼre done with it.”

Smiling as if heʼd been caught red-handed, Valyr eventually made his way to the Blacksmith Guildʼs entrance after assuring Julian that he was going to get some proper rest.

Making his way back to the inn he and the other two stayed in, the young man fought against the lethargy he was feeling as he took a look at his chat function.

Seeing that Wells had not responded to the messages he sent a couple of days ago, Valyr did not bother sending a series of messages for updates.

ʼI did give him a heads-up that Iʼd be busy for the next few days,ʼ thought the young man, deciding to stop by an eatery before returning to the inn. ʼIt only makes sense that he and Edward would be busy as well.ʼ

Keeping in mind that heʼd immediately head to bed to get some rest, Valyr ordered a light meal this time around, taking delight in the scenery the Algerie Kingdom offered him at daytime.

Eventually, Valyr was able to make his way back to the inn, deciding to take a quick shower to remove the dirt and grime heʼd accrued on his body from the Blacksmith Guild the past few days.

Once he had changed into a fresh set of clothes, only then did he head to his own part of the room before laying down, immediately falling into a deep sleep within a matter of minutes.

…

”Mngh…”

Feeling his consciousness finally come to once more, Valyr gradually got out of bed, giving his consciousness the time it needed to fully rouse itself from slumber.

After that, he took a look out the roomʼs window, bitterly smiling once he saw the sun shining as brightly as it did when he returned.

”Donʼt tell me I slept for a couple of days again…” muttered the young man to himself, opening up his status screen after that to get an accurate idea of how much time passed.

Finding out that heʼd only slept for an entire day, Valyr immediately let out a sigh of relief.

After going through his daily routine, the young man opened up the systemʼs chat function while eating his breakfast, checking to see if anyone messaged him while he was asleep.

Seeing that none of the people on his friend list had sent him a message, a faint smile crept up on Valyrʼs lips as he spent a bit more time relishing the breakfast he ordered.

By the time he was done, he then thought about what he planned on doing for the day, recalling that he went to the Blacksmith Guild the previous time he asked himself this question.

”Well, thereʼs no problem in heading back to the Blacksmith Guild again,” thought Valyr out loud, thinking about how completing another one of Julianʼs quotas would mean him contributing to the war efforts.

Though, as the thought came to mind, he also recalled the message Noel sent to him about heading to the Spearman Guild.

”Should I head to the Blacksmith Guild… or should I head to the Spearman Guild instead?”

As those two choices lingered in his mind, Valyr scratched the back of his head in slight confusion, undecided on what to do next.

Fortunately, a third choice soon popped up in his mind, prompting the young man to recall that he had yet to go through all of the skills transformed by the inheritance in detail.

”Aside from that, Iʼve yet to check all of the rewards I got from completing Ryvrtheʼs quest,” said Valyr to himself, his eyes brimming with curiosity.

At the very instant it came to mind, the young man immediately made his mind up, bringing up his notification screen in front of him as he scrolled to look for the rewards he received from Ryvrthe.

Ding!

[You have completed the quest: Traces of the Past.]

[You have received 100,000,000 XP.]

[Your affinity with the Forsaken race has increased by 500. Current affinity: Close friends.]

[Your affinity with Ryvrthe, the Sapient One has increased by 800. Current affinity: Comrades through life and death.]

[Your reputation in Ecalos has increased by 1,000 points. Current reputation: Legend (MAX).]

[Your reputation in Dnal fo Nigiro has increased by 1,000 points. Current reputation: Legend (MAX).]

[As your reputation in Ecalos and Dnal fo Nigiro has reached the maximum level, any excess reputation shall be converted to Planetary Reputation (Veldanyr) at a ratio of 10:1.]

[Your Planetary Reputation (Veldanyr) has increased by 100 points. Current reputation: Baseless positive rumors.]

As he went through the rewards, Valyr noticed that most of them were based on reputation and affinity, things whose benefits werenʼt that obvious in comparison to other rewards.

”Then again, Iʼve already accepted the quest after seeing those rewards,” said Valyr to himself. ”The fact that the quest increased the reward for affinity and reputation by a significant amount already says a lot.”

”From another perspective, I could even say that meeting Vaughn was a reward in itself.”

At some point, the young man reached the end of the list of rewards he gained from the quest.

Expecting the final reward to be something along the lines of reputation or affinity once more, Valyr raised his eyebrow in curiosity after seeing that it was neither of those.

Instead, it was a pair of titles.

Ding!

[Due to your actions, you have obtained the title ʼKin of the Forsaken Race (Veldanyr)ʼ.]

[Due to your actions, you have obtained the title ʼReconnecting the Past to the Present (Veldanyr)ʼ.]

”Huh.”

Looking at the titles he obtained from Ryvrtheʼs quest, Valyr went silent for a bit as a few thoughts ran through his mind.

”To be honest, I thought the increased affinity and reputation was the additional reward I got from completing the quest,” said the young man to himself, recalling how the quest mentioned that he could obtain extra rewards depending on his performance.

”To think it would also give me two titles… is it because I allowed Ryvrthe to meet with Vaughn?” As this thought came to mind, Valyr let out a faint chuckle, bringing up the descriptions of the titles before him soon after.

Ding! Ding!

Bringing up the description of [Kin of the Forsaken Race (Veldanyr)] before him, Valyr immediately noticed that the title was quite similar to another title heʼd obtained from the past.

”[Astartoʼs Beacon of Hope]…” muttered the young man to himself, continuing to read through the titleʼs description before closing its corresponding screen.

In short, the effects of [Kin of the Forsaken Race (Veldanyr)] more or less matched the name of the title itself.

With him now having the title, any being from the Forsaken Race would now look at him at a positive light. At the same time, the title made it more difficult for the Forsaken Race to doubt his words and actions, which was something Valyr deemed as useful if he were to apply it in certain situations.

Aside from that, the title offered him a few other perks that only applied to things related to the Forsaken Race, such as quests offering more rewards and shops asking for less money.

Committing the effects of the first title to memory, Valyr then moved onto the second title, only to find out that it was vastly different from the first one.

Ding!
