The kidnapping of Lillianna Hale turned into this big thing because not only was she a Hale, she was also 8 years old. Her corpse was found beneath the Cobber Bridge, downtown Country X by the Cobber River. Stiles still remembers the cry of the man when he found his dead daughter, it was in a video posted online for everyone to see with the title that read: [This is only the beginning]- And now that Stiles thinks about it, the one who recorded this must've been an Argent.
"C'mon Bastet, i still want to meet the old man!" But now is not the time to think about this. The "old man" was none other than him- As Stiles walked into the really hot forge that was in the outside of this Blacksmith Shop, Stiles saw his target- the one and only God of Forges, Blacksmithing, and Flames: "Vulcan~!"
The stocky white haired old man raised his head quickly, turning to look from where that voice came from to see this humanoid plant- Really, he had green skin with weeds and moss growing on his skin! Bright blue eyes that looked more like two crystals than anything else, a pink flower on his vine-like hair was the only thing that wasn't green on his body- That and the starter garb he was wearing.
In [Magic and Might] one could get naked if they wanted to, since the game was an 18+ game it could simulate being naked and having sex here! Which was awsome, but now Stiles' going to focus on money first. "Vulcan old man, I'm here to learn Blacksmithing from you~!" Stiles skipped his step as Bastet caming in behind him a little apprehensive, since she knew Vulcan was a little easy to anger, even more so when you walk into him working like this! She watched as a vein thickened in the old man's forehead, making her sweat cold a little bit: "Ah, also, here!" Before anything could happen, the Immortal she was following slapped a pendant in Vulcan's hand, making the two Gods take a step back in shock.
"T-this-" Vulcan, a hard hearted God who has never cried before, held the pendant in his hands as tears flowed freely down his face: "-how? Where did you find this?" The item in his hands was his most prized possession, his most valuable treasure, his most beautiful creation. The pendant contained the picture of his Demigod Daughter who has long ago died, he had lost his pendant somewhere in the face of this vast world, but somehow this immortal brought it to him!
Meanwhile, Stiles, who just knew the pendant was behind an immovable box behind the first pillar of the starter shop: 'Easy money!'
Bastet, who watched this weird immortal sink his hand into a box somehow: 'Immortals... They scare me.'
"Tell me- Tell me, what do you want for this?" Vulcan never sounded so desperate, but now? Now he was basicslly begging, kneeling before Stiles with despair in his eyes at the very thought of losing his daughter again. Even if it is just an image of hers!
"Well, i just want two things- Teach me how to forge, and give me your blessing, then the pendant is yours." The God of Forges looked at him with strong, unrelenting eyes, and nodded. He must've expected Stiles to demand something stupid, but Stiles wasn't interested in a super duper powerful weapon that can kill millions, he just wanted a single thing: Skills.

'Ah, this is good-' The last guy who got this blessing was a menace! He used the buff he got that helped him deal more damage to non-organic things and started destroying Guilds until he got overconfident, was challenged to a Deleting Match and lost getting killed, where upon his character was reset.
Oh, right, did i forgot to mention? Your character can get deleted if you lose a Deleting Match!
A Deleting Match is a personal challenge one can request someone else, like a challenge, or a 1v1 PvP kind of thing, where if you lose your character gets deleted from the game and you'll have to start again. "So, let's get started then!" Ah, Stiles knew what was going to happen next- He was put through hell and back again by the God of Forges, who was (not surprisingly) a fucking perfectionist! "Again, from the beginning!" He would shout each and every time Stiles made even the slightest mistake lile moving the hammer one inche to the right instead of a quarter of an inch.
It was hell.
But it was a hell Stiles put himself through for the sake of his future! Hammering down the hammer against the white hot iron, the fire did not damage to him since it wasn't of a magical nature because Vulcan was teaching him how to forge and not forging him himself right now.
He doesn't want his first apprentice in a millenia dying on him before he could even begin his own journey!

[Vulcan's Descendant]-
Stiles stopped reading for a moment as the old man grinned at him, who was spread out in the ground- Seven days had passed and he worked without taking a proper break for the entirety of the seven game days, which meant 7 hours must've passed on the outside world! "Teach Vulcan, i need go go now- Not only am i severely tired, i also need to rest and deal with some things." The old man dismissed his worries by waving his hand in a shooing motion- The old guy was really bold and direct most of the time, which was okay on Stiles' opinion since this type of person is the best one.
"So, lad, you gonna go to wherever you Immortals go when you disappear?" Vulcan asked- No NPC of this world dares dream that there is a world outside their own, they see their world as the one and only world there is. Maybe that was one of the reasons the World Expansion update was the best update this game has ever had! Well, Stiles preferred the Continental Exploration update.
Talking about Continents, there is only two continents in this game at this time, the continent of Maldola and the Ancient Akkon, the first Continent of Heroes. The Maldola Continent is where the main story starts, you need to talk to a certain NPC at a certain day of a certain month at a certain hour wearing a certain item to unlock the quest and start the main storyline. 'Thinking about it, can't i just start the main storyline myself?' The main storyline would bring some of the things Stiles knows back! Like the Continent of Mamaroneck and First Doon. 'Ah, memories...' Those two were the most explored Continents and the ones that presented many, many things to the game! "Yeah, I'm going home for a few days." Vulcan simply nodded at that- Haven already taught what he wanted to Stiles, he dismissed him from his tortu-I mean, his training!
Stiles closed his eyes and logget out, his vision went bright white for a moment before he came back to consciousness on his pod. Yawning, he stretched his body as using a pod is like sleeping, well, it rests the body the same way sleeping does but doesn't rest the mind, so you can't exactly replace using the pod for sleep. "Hm... Gotta go get a job."
Well, that and save a little girl from being killed to get said job- He could just go and plead loyalty to the mob, but who says the Hale family would believe him if he says that Kate Argent is going to set their home on fire? Yeah, better start from the ground up and save the family in the act! First is to get a good friendship with Peter Hale first, a chance encounter, where this random kid who needs a job just seems to have saved his daughter from a killer by killing him in self defense? Maybe, traumatizing a child isn't his favorite thing to do- Unless the child deserves it.
What?
Stiles never said he was a good person.
