Child of Destiny

Shin walked out the rundown blacksmith shop with a huge smile under his mask. He stayed for entire two hours on Blacksmith Jude’s workshop to wait for his personalized flying daggers.

And during this time, Shin was able to experience the advantages of having some influence; since he was able to collect all of the materials that he needed for these special weapons of his with just a single word.

And while walking on the street of the Town, Shin couldn’t help recall what happened on workshop of Blacksmith Jude.

…..

Since Shin had a lot of time to spend, he decided to wait for his items to be ready. And while he was at it, he also did some experiments. Due to Jude being a Master Blacksmith, he tried to see if he could learn a thing or two from him. Given that, Shin watched the Blacksmith work for quite some time while also activating his ’True Sight’ skill in the process.

And after few minutes of watching, Shin suddenly became immerse at observing Jude at his blacksmithing. And unknown to him, a series of system notifications were already ringing on his ears. He only discovered about it when Jude was done forging the first set of his special equipments. But before he was able to take a look at it, Jude was already starting to forge another set; so Shin had no extra time because of it and observed the blacksmithing technique of Jude once again.

This process lasted for one whole hour before Jude was able finished all of the sets of the flying daggers and needles. And that was also the time when Shin was able to recover himself and noticed the blinking light at the corner of his eyes; indicating that he received the some system notifications.

And when he opened it to check what those notifications were, Shin was gotten a huge surprise.

------------------

Shin was staring blankly on the series of system notifications when he heard Jude called out for him. ”Town Mayor, I see that you are quite interested on blacksmithing. Do you want me to teach you a thing or two?”

And when Shin had heard what the blacksmith had said, his eyes suddenly turned bright as he said with an excited tone. ”I will be grateful for you if you really are willing to teach me!”

At the same time, he was muttering in his heart. ’Of course, I will love to learn some things from a Master Blacksmith. And who would be so dumb enough to reject this wonderful offer? So I will gladly accept your freebies.’

Then Shin started learning blacksmithing under Master Blacksmith Jude’s supervision. That extra lesson lasted only for an hour, but the former was able to learn a lot of things. Jude couldn’t help himself but praised Shin’s learning ability repeatedly. He was a very fast learner so if you added the ’Learn and Copy’ special ability in the mix, things were just became a piece of cake for Shin.

Shin even failed to count how many times did the Master Blacksmith said these phrases: ’What a genius!’, ’What a fearsome learning ability.’ ’You are absorbing everything like sponge.’ Etc...

Shin’s blacksmithing skills already reached the Intermediate Rank when he was done at taking some ’classes’ under the Master Blacksmith Jude. Even if he still couldn’t create some high ranking weapons and equipments, this rank was still enough for him to repair all of his equipments on his own as long as he had a portable anvil, blacksmithing hammer and some repairing materials for the said equipment and weapon.

And even if this way of repairing items was way slower that the other blacksmiths in the city, this way of repairing was still way more convenient than the former. It was because he could repair all of his equipments and weapons on anywhere he wanted. What’s more, he also didn’t have to do the back and forth travels from a City to his desired training spot.

And given all of those, Shin didn’t have to spend some repairing fees starting today onward. No… Maybe not only that, he might even become a real ’All-Rounder’ after this day. It was because of the extra system notification that he got after taking the blacksmithing class.

*Ding!*

System: Congratulations! Your blacksmithing skills reached the Intermediate Rank.

Note 1: But due to your special case. You will not be able to get some bonus from this promotion.

Note 2: However, if you are able to learn two more sets of lifestyle production skills, you might be able to unlock more of the mysteries of your ’All-Rounder’ unique title.

...

Going back to the present, Shin couldn’t help himself but clicked his tongue after taking another look at this system notification. ”Tsk! Looks like I still need to wait for a few more hours before I can get a chance to test my skills on the Battle Arena, Huh?”

”Anyway, where should I learn some more lifestyle production skills? Hmm… Based on the reports that I got from Ribbit, there are no other natives (Other term for NPC) in this town that managed to reach the Master Rank aside from Jude. No… There are even no other native that reached an Advance Rank.”

”Tsk! I can’t learn some decent techniques if I asked them to teach me so I have no other choice but to ask some guidance from the people of the Hand of Midas Trading Firm. Tsk! But that was also a problem; I need some decent compensation to offer to them so that they could give up some of their precious time.”

Then Shin was stuck on dilemma as he didn’t know what he could offer to the Masters of the Hand of Midas Trading Firm. Those guys didn’t lack anything after all. ”D*mn! It is hard to move the feelings of those guys unless I have some decent equipments that can pick their interest.”

Left with no other choice, Shin was forced to get back to his original plan; and that was to test some of his new battle skills. The new skills of his ’original’ identity I mean.

Then Shin walked towards to a secluded alley before using the ’Quick Swap’ extra skill of his ’All-Rounder’ title to switch off all of his current equipments with the {Dawn and Dusk Equipment Set} and the [Nightwalker’s Cloak].

At the same time, Shin put the [Belt of Tomi] that he got when his beaten Vega on the Shunkai Forest. After that, he put the twelve throwing/flying daggers on its slots together with the four bundles of steel needles at the pockets of the back side of the belt.

And while he was at it, Shin checked the stats of the daggers and needles once again.

-----------------------

After checking the Stats of those items, Shin started walking towards the Battle Arena. And from the looks of it, he was quite excited to test new skills on this place. Based on the things that he heard from the players on the street, there were a lot of strong players looking for a random duel battles on the Battle Arena; and that was also one of the after-effects of the recent incident on the Shunkai Forest.

”Alright, let us see if can use these guys as a grinding stone for my swords” muttered Shin to himself as walk towards the Battle Arena.
