[SP-F1] <<Earning a Living>>

[tricolor_mina 0]

I woke up to the sound of church-bells chiming in my head, my chosen type of alarm. I sat up and gazed out my window and remembered what I had wanted to do since the beginning of Sao... get a profession. I figured that I had wanted to be a cook at first... then I remembered that Liam had wanted a Katana. "I know!" I thought, "why don't I become a blacksmith!" I figured that being a blacksmith would not only help Liam... but it would also help me, and getting my rapier in tip-top shape. "C`mon Akame!" I said, "we've got an npc to look for!"  I decided to search around for the Items that I needed, and I finally found a couple rocks that looked promising

I sat down with a huff of breath, and I decided that If I ever did that again, I would rather kill myself, so I picked myself up sleepily, and headed back to the hotel I was staying at.

I headed back outside to go start trying to craft a decent weapon...

I pulled out my hammer and placed one of my malcasite on the anvil.

 ID# 46482:  Craft: 9

I watched the ore take shape and form a gleaming black katana, and when it was finished I checked its stats.

Spoiler

Weapon type: Katana

Weapon name: Fell Crescent

Description: A Black katana with a silver hilt and dark green guard

Damage: +1

I placed it in my inventory with a gleeful look in my eyes.

plit, plit!

I gazed up at the sky with a start, and noticed... that it was... raining? "ah jeez.. why rain?? It dampens the mood(literally!)." I pulIled out my hammer and gazed up at the rain, not paying attention to the feel of it on my face... it reminded me about how it was in my hometown,which actually had a lot of rain all the time..."I miss my sister... my big brother too... I wonder if they're gonna be okay while I'm stuck in here..." I focused on my crafting in order to clear the cobwebs in my head.

Battle: 5

 Craft: 6

 Loot: 18

 MOB: 8

"NOOOOO!" the ore had formed a broken knife, which meant I had wasted a piece of ore.'nngh!! why did this have to be so damn hard!!!' It suddenly started to rain even harder, so I decided to call it a day, and I headed back to the hotel I had been staying at.

Edited August 28, 2016 by tricolor_mina

I walked down the street, quietly approaching the small tent that I had set up, so I wouldn't get wet from the rain, and pulled out a simple hammer, and laid a piece of ore on the anvil.

 Craft: 6

'IEEEEHH?!" I had, once again, failed to make a rapier, and I instead made a mess of molten materials.'this is so not cool.'I thought, and I tried to salvage this one

Loot: 5, the material had shattered."..." I was speechless with my bad luck, so, inwardly swearing, I pulled out another piece of malcasite, and laid it on the anvil

I tried again

 Craft: 11

It glowed, and formed a beautiful rapier that was of a gold, blue, and green hue

I read through the weapon's bio with interest."bleeding huh.....?" I could deal extra damage if I was lucky.

I decided to equip my new&shiny weapon so I could leave, and today's progress on the quest was pretty decent. So with Akame and Soul Fragment, I headed back to my hotel

It was a new day, so while I prepared to strike down some malcasite, and got my hammer at the ready, I thought about what I wanted to do for others

I headed back to my hotel room, enjoying a nice walk to the other side of town,and getting to spend time with my familiar for once. I looked up at the sky, and thought about what had happened so recently... until I decided to head to bed.

End of the day.

The next morning...

I was back at my usual haunt, and I pulled out my hammer for the first time that morning

The ore exploded in my face. and If this place weren't in town, I would be missing some health.

I tried one more time.

I could barely believe it when it turned into a small snail, and started to exit the town

'Seems interesting enough...'

I followed the snail until it was at the safe zone, and stayed watching for a moment before pursuing it again. "little snail, little snail, come here little snail!"

I decided that I wanted to just relax and practice some sword skills, and akame was miming a mob, so i pretended to use linear, and purposely missed, not wanting to hit her, even though we were inside a safe zone, as I had already headed back to the village. I decided to finally head home, so I picked up my things, and left the town square, and headed back to the hotel that I am staying at

[tricolor_mina 0]

I woke up, got dressed, and decided to search for some more mat's so I could make new weapons... when I realized that I already had 2 (3 counting evac's katana) weapons that I could give away, so I decided that I would make sure to send the two I didn't need off to another player that probably needed them. I headed to the other part of town, an area with a decent cliff that had maybe four or five rocks, so I decided on one and struck it.

I looked at the rock, and I managed to find a piece right away(+1 Mat), so I turned to the other boulders, but decided that I would head back because I had left town by sunrise, and yet the floor was almost completely dark, so I headed back home, sighing with relief on how much easier it had gotten to find the material needed to make another weapon... and hopefully not another magma snail... that was a stupid battle that shouldn't have ever happened... that day in itself was a different experience in it's own right...

<<End of the day>>

I looked at the window with surprise, I hadn't expected to rank up from that single craft, so I felt a sense of accomplishment. I inventoried the weapon, and paused to admire the sunset that was beautifully framed by the mountain.

I walked to the edge and sat down, and Imagined what I could do to help others... I could help powerful clearing guilds like KoB, and aid lower-leveled players get on their feet, and I could create a guild for lower-leveled players like me... 'Any Ideas on what to call it Mira? Isn't your username Tricolor_Mina? why not name it the Tricolor Support Guild?That's a good Idea... I better get that shop open ASAP though... the sooner this is done, the better. Pfft! that's so true though!' I gazed off of the cliff, and I knew what I would do, I would make a guild, and get a guild hall set up asap when I had the necessary funds to do so. I looked through my inventory and decided that I would open the shop with a special discount for those just leaving the town of Beginnings, so that they could get the basic armor, weapon, and/or shield of their choice, albeit only to those under level 10, then they would have to pay a small amount, or leave materials in order for me to stay open.

I heard a rustling sound come from behind me, and realized with a start, that it was the mother magma snail, and it looked angry.

I turned to face the Mob, when I realized that If I didn't run away, I would probably end up dying to it. I looked around and tried to find a suitable Escape route to get away from the Magma Snail. '[censored]! I didn't expect to fight a giant snail, let alone one that is beating me.. this is humiliating... GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER AND RUN DUMMY!' I slowly, but surely, made my way behind the magma snail, praying it didn't notice me starting to flee.
