Chapter 65



Until I made the Sword of Self-transcendence, the details of all the items I made were accompanied by the modifier: made by a craftsman with great skills and potential, but lacks experience and reputation .

But now it had changed to ‘a craftsman with great skills and potential, but his experience and reputation is somewhat lacking . ’ I felt a little bit recognized . Anyway, I got a new production hammer, so I was more likely to make rare and epic rated items . In addition, the probability of making normal rated items was relatively low .

It was fortunate that I realized the importance of a production hammer and managed to obtain a new one, even if it was delayed .

I was about to launch my operation to make more money .

‘I’ve replaced the hammer so should I now make epic, unique or legendary items?’

Khan interrupted me as I was about to start . “Grid, will you come to my son’s grave with me? Actually, today is the anniversary of my son’s death . ”

I didn’t want to waste time at an unnecessary place when I could be making items to sell . But Khan’s request couldn’t be dismissed . Khan was my only friend in reality and Satisfy .

‘An NPC is my only friend… how depressing…’

I decided to postpone my work .

“Let’s go . ”



***

At a small hill north of Winston . There were around 10 graves on the hill .

‘This is too small to be a cemetery…’

Khan saw my look and explained . “This is the cemetery where not just my son, but my ancestors are buried . ”

“I see . ”

Khan stood in front of his son’s gravestone and smiled . Khan missed his son .

“My son… He had excellent qualities as a blacksmith . I had no doubt that he would become a great blacksmith who would surpass me, and maybe even have the same reputation as Albatino . Unfortunately, he died early . ”

Tears filled Khan’s eyes .

“The pain of losing a son is incredibly big . It has been 10 years since he died, but I still miss him and feel regret towards his death . If possible, I would revive him, even if I needed to sacrifice my own life . ”

I didn’t know what to say . It was impossible for me to understand the mind of a parent who lost their child . I stood there with an awkward expression, and the tearful Khan suddenly laughed .

“I’m glad you’re here . ”

“…”

“Every day, every day… I couldn’t work properly because of nostalgia and despair . But ever since meeting you, I have felt surprised and excited . Didn’t I stop drinking because of you? Now, please say hello to my son . ”

Khan stood straight in front of his son’s gravestone . Then he spoke towards the gravestone .

“Son, this is Pagma’s Descendant, who I told you about every night . Isn’t it great to meet him? Are you surprised? Isn’t it great? Are you wondering why such a person is with your father?”

“Khan…”



Khan started crying again . He finally sank to his knees, hugging the gravestone while exclaiming . “Don’t worry! Don’t worry! Your father is doing well, so don’t worry! This great person is taking care of your father! He promised to take care of the smithy! So relax and don’t worry . Rest in peace… Sob…sob sob . ”

“…”

Countless NPCs existed in Satisfy . Every one of them were alive with stories and feelings like this . Amazing . I truly admired Satisfy’s technology .

“… Damn, they should do it moderately . ”

My vision was cloudy from the dust in my eyes . I moved my gaze to the sky due to a lump in my throat . Then I promised . “Your father is my most precious friend . I will treat him well . I’ll also make the smithy the best . So… as you father said, rest in peace . ”

Then a notification window popped up .



[The bond between you and Khan has deepened . ]

[The souls of Khan’s ancestors are thrilled by your emotions towards Khan and emerge from underground . ]



“…Eh?”

10 blue lights in the shape of people appeared in front of me . Then they spoke simultaneously towards me .

“It is good to meet you, Pagma’s Descendant . Friend of our descendant . ”

“W-Wait…!”

Weren’t these souls ghosts?

I hurriedly called out to Khan, “K-Khan . Khan!”

“Drrrong! Drrrong!”

“Did you go crazy?”

Khan was sleeping while hugging his son’s gravestone . No, how could he fall asleep in such a short amount of time? I realized that I was the only one facing these ghosts, and formed tight fists .

“C-Come on! You evil ghosts! I will survive to the end of the horror movie!”

…Yes, to be honest, I was a little frightened of ghosts . No, to be honest, I really hated ghosts . It was because I had actually encountered a ghost during my elementary school days . Of course, I might’ve been seeing things, now that I thought about it… Anyway, the intense fear of that time was still deeply engraved in my mind, causing a ghost allergy .

The blue souls floating in the air were confused when I told them to fight, and they didn’t say anything . I didn’t feel any hostility from them, so I asked carefully .

“You… are you really ghosts…?”

“You could say that . ”

The answer made me feel despair .

“Unbelievable! No way! How can ghosts exist in this world? I might’ve seen it when I was a child, but it wasn’t really a ghost!”

The ghosts laughed .

“Hahaha, what doesn’t exist in this world? Yet you think it’s strange that there are ghosts?”



“…Ah . ”

I belatedly realized . I forgot for a while, but this was Satisfy, not reality . It was an artificial world created by human hands! Not just ghosts, but living bones, talking beasts and even fire beasts existed . People could fly and shoot magic . Yes, it wasn’t strange for ghosts to exist in this world .

I asked them . “S-So what? Why did you emerge?”

They answered . “We are thrilled that you showed a true heart to our descendants, so we have come to give you a reward . ”

“… Reward?”

Was it money? As I was feeling expectant, the biggest one came forward and introduced himself .

“I am the person who witnessed Pagma’s swordsmanship 130 years ago . ”

“…!”

Pagma’s swordsmanship! I discovered a clue to the class quest, which had been delayed because I didn’t know how to proceed .

“130 years ago… I witnessed the beauty of Pagma’s swordsmanship that pierced the sky, and was so fascinated that I ran to Kesan Canyon . Then I drew a picture of Pagma’s swordsmanship, which was clearly imprinted in my mind, on a north cliff of the canyon . I was so excited that I wouldn’t be able to fall asleep if I didn’t do that . ”

I obtained a clue for Pagma’s swordsmanship, which I had no idea how to find or learn .

“The painting will probably help you learn Pagma’s swordsmanship . ”




[The quest ‘Pagma’s Descendant’ has been updated . ]

[Pagma’s Descendant]

Difficulty: Class quest .

You have certainly been given Pagma’s blacksmith skills .

But do you know exactly who Pagma is? Can you proudly carry out his will?

Who is Pagma? If he was simply a blacksmith with good skills, his legends wouldn’t be scattered across the continent .

First, start with the clue of the swordsmanship that pierced the sky, and follow Pagma’s legend . If you can collect all of the legends, you will truly understand Pagma and succeed his will .

At that moment, a new legend will be born .

* There is no time limit for this class quest .

* If you accept the class quest of a legendary class, you can’t change your class again .

* The legendary class quest has the power to transform Satisfy’s world, according to the results .

Class Quest Clear Conditions: Complete all linked quests successfully .

Class Quest Clear Reward: Unknown .

* First Class Quest: [Pagma’s Swordsmanship . ]

The person who witnessed Pagma’s swordsmanship 130 years ago has showed up and given you a clue .

If you head to Kesan Canyon that is to the south of Winston, you will find a clue to Pagma’s swordsmanship carved on a northern cliff .

* First Class Quest Clear Condition: Learn Pagma’s swordsmanship .

First Class Quest Clear Reward: Dainsleif (Reproduction) .

After confirming the newly emerged quest information window, the souls said farewell .



“Pagma’s Descendant is a friend of our descendant . We pray that you will become greater than Pagma . Now, we should be returning to where we were . ”

The souls disappeared one by one in front of me . One soul remained until the end and spoke softly .

“Thank you for looking after my father . ”

Suuuuoh…

We came to this place at dusk and it was now night . The remnants of the souls disappearing scattered a blue light like falling stars, and then Khan woke up .

“Umm…? Did I fall asleep? Is it already night?”

“Old Man, you have a habit of sleeping everywhere, but it isn’t good for your health . ”

“Hmm… I was never like this… Huh? Heok! Y-You! Why is the part around your crotch damp?”

“…Be quiet . ”



***

40 days had passed since Huroi cleared the ‘Wait’ quest .

Afterwards, he accepted the S . A . Group’s proposal to thoroughly check his health in the hospital, then spent another week answering S . A Group’s questions and agreed to let them announce his identity as the first second class in Satisfy . Then he spent the next 23 days riding a horse around Mongolia in order to satisfy his nomadic nature . Finally, he returned to Satisfy three days ago and improved his understanding of the newly acquired second class .

And today! Huroi arrived at Khan’s smithy . It was to meet Grid, whom he had sworn to serve .

‘Will he be pleased to see me? Or will he ask why I only came now?’

Huroi was incredibly tense . He couldn’t help gulping . As he hesitantly stood in front of the smithy, the door opened from the inside . Grid exited from the open door . Did he noticed that Huroi was here and came out to meet him?

“M-My Liege!”

The thrilled Huroi shouted . But Grid didn’t even look at him . He didn’t think that the title of ‘liege’ applied to him . Huroi shouted again .

“Mr . Grid!”

“Eh?”

Grid finally turned towards Huroi . The two people made eye contact . Huroi ran forward and bent to one knee in front of Grid, like a knight before a monarch .

“Have you been well in the meantime? I’m sorry for not making any contact with you until now!”

“…Huroi?”

“Yes, My Liege . I am Huroi . ”

In the dungeon, Huroi had sacrificed himself to allow Grid to escape the four knights . Huroi knew that Grid would be worried . Then…

“This bastard!”

Grid glared and abruptly grabbed Huroi’s neck . Then he let out a stream of curses at Huroi .

“Hey, you son of a bitch! You, I know you? I don’t! I don’t know why the knights associated you with me, but I was disqualified from the item making game and forced to accept a ridiculous quest! Huh? I was trapped in solitary confinement with my mouth gagged, then I had to fight someone called the Northern Nova . Can you imagine how much I suffered?”

“…”

Huroi was at a loss for words . Grid’s attitude was completely different from what he imagined . He couldn’t understand why Grid was angry, but he sincerely apologized .

“I’m sorry . I was wrong! My Liege!”

His master was his sky! His master was angry due to the actions of his subordinates .

Grid became rather confused at Huroi’s apology . Grid frowned .

‘This guy, he seemed perfectly fine and smart when I first met him . He seems to have become a complete freak since being stuck in prison . Was he severely tortured?’

Anyway, he didn’t want to be with this disgusting guy . Grid let go of Huroi and waved his hand . “Hey, hey, that’s it . I understand already, so you should leave . ”

Huroi was baffled .

“Go where?”

“Go wherever . ”

“My path is with My Liege!”

Huroi had already vowed to follow Grid . The descendants of the Blue Wolf didn’t forsake their oaths . He would follow Grid for the rest of his life . Thanks to his second class, ‘Apostle of Justice’s Partner,’ he practically needed to stay at Grid’s side because all his stats increased by 20% when he was with the Apostle of Justice .

“T-This crazy…”

Huroi didn’t notice Grid’s irritation as he asked .

“My Liege, are you part of a guild? If you have a guild then please let me join . Isn’t it better for me to be in the same guild as you?”

“Guild? I don’t have one . So please leave . ”

“Ohh! Good! Are you planning to make your own guild? If My Liege makes a guild, many people will follow you . I will assist you!”

Prior to going to Kesan Canyon, Grid was going to get minerals to make armor for his own use . Grid wanted to leave quickly instead of listening to Huroi’s delirious chatter .

“Hey, stop talking nonsense and move out of the way . Yes? I’m going . ”

In the end, Grid left towards his destination . Well, it seemed like Grid disliked him, so Huroi was forced to follow Grid secretly . Obstacles appeared on a flat road . As soon as he created a fire to cook meat, a sudden shower poured down from a clear sky, meeting bandits at places famous for being peaceful, etc . While watching, Huroi realized that Grid was a person of bad luck . If Grid fell asleep, he was sure to break his nose .

Huroi felt a burning sense of duty .

‘I must protect him!’

The Apostle of Justice’s Partner needed to be with the Apostle of Justice . Huroi didn’t doubt it .
