VRMMORPG: Dragomancer Reborn

Arthur read through the comments on the post and saw that nearly everyone was desiring better equipment that didn\'t break so soon. But after reading this, Arthur got an idea.

\'I guess I know what my next paid post will be.\' Arthur thought to himself.

While he had made a post about getting silver coins quickly, it was still not enough for them to afford weapons for a long time.

\'The players with low skills will still end up breaking their weapons and spend a lot on the repair of equipment.\' Arthur reckoned. \'They need something that can last for a longer time.\' 

Thankfully Arthur had the perfect weapon in his mind. He quickly started writing the next post, which would be scheduled for a later time. After all, he still needed to milk the current posts. 

<Easy way to obtain High Durability cheap Weapon. (vouching with trusted badge) (check previous post for authenticity)>

After half an hour, Arthur was done writing the post. This one was longer and more detailed than the previous one since multiple steps were involved. The weapon that the players would obtain would also be surprising to the players.

\'I\'ll post this when they are desperate enough. Not enough players have reached the point of having low funds and no weapon.\' Arthur thought to himself.

But thinking of the method, Arthur was reminded of another thing.

"The ones who offended the NPCs might not be able to take benefit of this though… especially if they fought the Blacksmiths. But that\'s on them to suffer." Arthur didn\'t care what happened to those players.

After Arthur was done with the post, he changed some settings and also raised the price of the post. Of course, it wasn\'t that high, being only two UC. It was still affordable and a majority of the people would be willing to get it, once they knew it was authentic.

"I guess that\'s done." Arthur muttered and looked at the time.

<8:32 PM>

"Guess I\'ll have dinner then." Arthur decided.

~HISS~

The Dream Pod V3 opened up, allowing Arthur to get up and get to cooking. His dinner for tonight was also instant noodles, but this time, he made them in a different way.

"Hmm… since I have money, I should finish this up and try for other dishes from tomorrow." Arthur said to himself as he got to cooking.

First he boiled some noodles, letting them soften, while he took out a pan to stir-fry the veggies he had gotten. Finally, he added the noodles along with the spice mix. He stir-fried them together, before finally adding two eggs, completing his dinner.

"There we go… It\'s been a long time since I made this." Arthur said with a smile.

He watched some videos while cooking and finished in about thirty minutes.

<9:45 PM> 

"Just fifteen minutes left." Arthur looked at the time.

He sat back down in the Dream Pod V3 and waited till the log-in time.

>Login is now available for Morpheus Online!<

As soon as the notification popped up, Arthur entered the game. A sea of multicolored lights drifted past him, as his body changed to become that of Arzhur. This time the difference was greater, since he had become a Dragomancer.

The increase in strength and senses was the major part, as Arthur could feel better than before due to Synchronization Stat.

"HAAA~ This is still so surreal." Arthur took a deep breath, acclimatizing to his game avatar again.

Perhaps it was because it was his first time logging back in after getting the Dragomancer class and Synchronization stat, the change was palpable. The first thing that Arthur \'saw\' was everything that had become clear.

"Man, if I can see this well in the real world too, it would be so good." Arthur said to himself.

While Dragon\'s Insight was available to him in the real world too, due to the limitations put by the Synchronization Stat, Arthur could only make use of 10% of its effectiveness. This meant that while he could see everything perfectly in the dark here, he could only see better in dark instead of seeing everything as if it was daytime.

\'Hopefully, that can be offset as the Proficiency of the skill rises. I don\'t know when the Synchronization stat will be able to rise.\' Arthur thought to himself.

He looked at his items that were prepared beforehand and got ready for the day.

The first thing he did was to go to the Blacksmith.

"Greetings," Arthur politely said to the Blacksmith.

The man was already hard at work, hammering an ingot of iron that had already been somewhat flattened.

The Blacksmith looked up at Arthur, stopping his hammer midway before speaking. "What do you need?" 

"Can I borrow your workstations?" Arthur asked. 

"Huh?" The blacksmith looked at Arthur as if he was a flood. "You want to make use of my forge?" the man asked, a hint of unpleasantness in his tone.

"Of course not." But Arthur shook his head. "I am not worthy to handle the forge of an established blacksmith like you." He clarified.

"Hmm… It\'s good that you know your place." The Blacksmith replied. "So what exactly do you want to do?" 

"I wish to train my skills and try making a few small weapons." Arthur replied. "Of course, I\'ll pay for the use of your workstations. And I\'ll also pay for any materials I use." He quickly added.

After hearing Arthur\'s words, the Blacksmith showed a hint of surprise but didn\'t deny him. For other players, attempting something like this would only get them in the bad books of the NPC. Asking whether they could use a blacksmith\'s forge was the same as calling them incompetent and saying that they could make better items than them.

Thus, renting the forge of a blacksmith was very difficult. Using their workstations, though, was a different matter. Arthur had to carefully word his request so that the man would agree. Of course, his title of Dedicated Kestrel Adventurer had helped here too and so had his reputation.
