N0eclipse: And who migh your fair companion be?
Einslie: Oh yeah this is Yura she kind of contracted me for armor
N0eclipse: That's great you are going to be preoccupied and can get comfortable while we prepare
Einslie: Prepare?
Einslie looked on dumbfounded
N0eclipse took off his black hounskull helmet and smiled while stroking his black beard
N0eclipse: Yes...you somehow at your level managed to find a raid boss, which is why i had to port you away. Now if it was a normall boss that would be a different story but she can kick my ass
Einslie: Is that rare?
N0eclipse: Oh dude you have a lot to learn, they drop some of the best items in the game so yes.
N0eclipse: Well you guys get comfortable, find some beds where you can comfortably log out or look around i've got to make some calls and get the guild together and maybe get the red death involved
N0eclipse turned around and exited the room through a massive wooden door behind him
Einslie: Red death?
Einslie looked to Yura for an explanation
Yura: Red death is an inspiration to all female players of this game, she was the worlds first fire mage to hit level 60, and she did it all by herself which is suprising considering the red flame fanatics exist
Einslie: Red flame?
Yura sighs
Yura: Well since mages are quite overpowered instead of nerfing them Onyx went with a different approach. They added an in game faction that finds and hunts player and npc mages. Quite ironically a lot of people think that they might use mages of their own but no one knows yet
Einslie clapped his hands together
Einslie: Well let's find a room to log out i guess
Half an hour later
Einslie: It's all either a storage room or it's owned!!
Yura: Screaming won't help
Einslie: Yes but introducing a new guild recruit to a guild owned place should be mandatory, like we haven't even seen one person are they all off hunting or logged off or what?
Yura: It's not like i know
Einslie: I feel like i'm going crazy
But there lay one more door ahead of the pair
A shining star in the dark night
A light at the end of the tunnel
Einslie looked at Yura standing next to him
Einslie: Let's do a bet, if it's an already owned room i get 25% more crowns for each item crafted for your set but if it's a storage room i'll make a double of each item so that you have a higher chance of getting better quality items....deal?
Yura: I will take that deal
Yura and Einslie shook hands
Einslie slowly approached the door and stood there for a while
Yura: Just open it
Einslie: There is a lot of stakes in the opening of this door okay?
Einslie: Just give me a second
His hand catiously hoverd over the door knob
He twisted it gently as the door opened just the tiniest bit
Einslie scoffed
Einslie: So unlucky...i guess you win
Einslie opened the door all the way
Einslie: Oh damn
There awaited them something they haven't seen yet a room unowned yet not a storage room
A bed side table in the middle on which a book and two parchments laid, above it a window slightly opened to let the breeze in, on the left and the right of the table 2 beds perfectly placed as if waiting for someone to lay on them, and a candle chandelier, the candles lit but not one bit of wax coming off of them.
Einslie: Well this is quite homely
Yura: It is indeed
Einslie walked over to the table and picked up one of the parchments
You aquired: Map of Void Castle
Einslie: It's a map of a castle with the most unexpected name ever
Yura picked up the second parchment right after Einslie
" Oh yeah i need to allocate stats after the fight"
"Status"

Einslie: Well i'm done with my points...are you also going to log off?
Yura stuttered a little
Yura: I.i...ummm...yeah...yeah i will
Einslie: That didn't sound too convincing
Yura: I don't wanna talk about it
Einslie: Well if you don't then bye
Yura: W...
Einslies character was already gone by the time she could complete her word
Andrew took off his headset sat back in his chair and breathed out
Andrew: Well thats a way to get out of a potentionally complicated conversation
He picked up his phone
Andrew: one in the mornig ! oh my god....this is probably very unhealthy
"Oh well future me problem" Andrew shrugged his shoulders
He stood up from his chair and jumped onto his bed
"Aaaah such soft sheets"
He closed his eyes as he drifted off to sleep
This peaceful state would not last long as the sound of an phone alarm would wake Andrew up from his deep slubmer
Andrew: Ugh
Andrew picked up his phone from his night desk and opened it to check the time
Andrew: 9:15 am....ugh time to wake up i guess
Andrew yawned and sat on his bed for a while
Andrew: What am i doing with my life
He stood up and started putting on his clothes, he turned on his pc and went to the kitchen
In the kitchen he stood beside the table
Andrew: So what's for breakfast?
Mom: Pancakes with maple syrup
Andrew: So whip me up a plate
His mother sighed and put 4 pancakes on a plate and put some syrup on it and handed it to Andrew
Andrew took the plate and went back to his room
He sat back at his chair turned his monitor on and opened youtube
Andrew: I should watch videos of the game i'm playing right?
His mouse hovered over the search bar and Andrew typed in Tales Of Creation
The first video caught Andrews attention
Scokhees raid, third try...INSANE REWARDS
Andrew scratched his chin
Andrew: Insane rewards you say? Hmmmm.....
Andrew put on his headphones and clicked on video
??: Look out for the Infernal Slash
??: Krivesh heal heal heal!
??: Fireball
Andrew: First person? Well that's new to me...and it looks like its a wizard
??: Krivesh! I said heal
??: I ran out of mana
??: The use a pot
??: I used all of them!
??: Oh for f***s sake...Wall Of Eternal Fire
??: You are gonna be the last one to get any loot
This went on for 8 more minutes as the video continued it captivated Andrew with the wide range of equipment and magic used
Andrew: Magic bolts, Fire balls, fire walls, Lightning strikes, Ice magic, and full plate armor, buffs and so much more....i need to get more involved
Andrew closed youtube and put on his headset
He appeared back in the same room he logged off from
He looked ahead and there sat Yura on her bed
He looked on confused as her eyes were closed and she didn't react to him
Andrew: Hey Yura!
Her eyes slowly opened
Yura: Oh hey
Andrew: Did you spend the entire day here?
Yura: W...what? no
Andrew: Alright i'm not going to prode any further...let's go find a smelter and a smithing station
Yura: Oh there's an entire building for that here
Andrew: Wait really?
Yura: Yeah it's right outside...i can show you.....since i explored a bit
A little bit later
Andrew stood in front of a big building made of bricks with a chimney on top
Andrew: So this is it?
Yura nodded
Yura: Yes
Andrew: Well it's not so bad
Andrew opened the wooden door to the building
A massive smelter lay ahead of him with a work bench to his right and crates to his left
Andrew rubbed his hands together
Andrew: Alright lets go make the rest of your armor
After stepping into the building Andrew asked an important question
Andrew: What else do we need to make?
He looked back at Yura
Andrew: You wanted a full suit right?
Yura: Ummm....yes
Andrew: Alright i will need your feet lenght, thight circumference, head circumference, lenght from your shoulder to your elbow and from your elbow to your hand
Yura: Alright
Andrew: Also from the hip to the knee and from the knee to the feet
Yura: Wait really
She looked perplexed
Andrew smiled
Andrew: Yeah there's a lot of pieces to it so you better get to meassuring
Yura: Ok
Andrew: Yup see you soon
Andrew waved at her as her character disappeared
"Aaaaaaaaagh i don't even know if i need those measurments neither do i know what a full suit of armor looks like i'm not European.....what did i get myself into"
Andrew logged off and took his headset off
"Ok....ok..ok searching this up will help"
Andrew started searching up information on the wiki for TOC

"Oh my lord why did they make so much and how much iron is this?"
Andrew searched further and found his answer
"36 iron ingots....well i guess 32 when i take off the 4 for Yuras breastplate"
"Ok..ok...ok i can do this, i mean i already did this before"
He closed the window slowly breathed out and put the headset back on
His body appeared back in the smithing building with Yura nowhere to be seen
Einslie: Time to get back to it then
Andrew walked over to one of the crates on the left of the Smelter
He slowly opened the cover and looked inside
"Just what i need" Einslie thought
He took 4 pieces of iron ore from the crate and put it into the smelter
Einslie paced around as the ore slowly melted into ingots
He took the ingots and placed them on the workbench
He took out his Old smithing hammer out of his hammer

After the creation of the Cuisse Yura appeared back in the smithy
Einslie: Oh hey
Yura: Well i can see you are hard at work without needing the number
Einslie: Well they were more orientational than anything
Yura: Oh really?
Einslie: Ok..ok i can see that you are mad but i've been working quite hard so you have to give me props for that right?
Yura: Riiight
Yura: Well i'll leave you to it before i get more mad
Einslie: I'll get right to it boss
The cycle continued once more
....
Einslie managed to make 2 more items, sadly only rated normal
Einslie: One more remaining
Yura: What's remaining?
Einslie: The sabatons or boots
Yura: Will they be normal rated?
Einslie: Well it depends on rng
Yura: Well get to it
Einslie: Right..right
....
Einslie picked the last two remaining pieces of iron and walked the over to the smelter
The ore slowly dropped into the sweltering hot of the smelter
The smelter started bubbling right away
After about 5 minutes the ingots were ready
He picked the ingots up and placed them gently on the table
His hammer got picked up once more for the last time
While Einslie was hammering on the ingots a faint sound of metal scraping could be heard
It was getting closer and closer to Einslie and Yura
While Einslie and Yura were focused on the creation of the last item the door to the smithy slowly opened
2 figures walked in
???: 2 love birds hiding out in the smithy?
Yura and Einslie both turned towards the voice at the same time
2 figures stood in the dorway
One a little bit taller than a human and one more than half the size
???: Did that make you flustered?
Long flowing silver hair, fair face, green eyes, and sharp leaf shaped ears
"An elf ? " Einslie thought
The figure next to the supposed elf had dog like ears and a tail
Einslie: No circumstantial co workers more like
Yura: And who migh you be?
???: Oh me, i'm Aura
Aura pointed at the figure next to her
Aura: This one's Arty our guilds foremost tracker and thief
Hello! Arty exclaimed while his tail wagged with a huge smile on his face
Only after the introductions did Einslie notice the armor the elf was wearing
It shone white with engravings all over, all the pieces were the whites white Einslie ever saw, with a white fur collar around the elfs neck
Einslie: Whoa cool armor
Aura: Thanks! It's a full tank set with white fox fur for ice damage protection, and i'm guessing you are our new guildie, a blacksmith right?
Einslie scratched his head
Einslie: Yeah i guess, still low level tho so that sucks
Aura smiled
Aura: Well that's going to change pretty soon so doncha worry
Einslie: Huh?
Aura laughed a little
Aura: Ooops looks like a said a bit too much, well see ya around guildie
Einslie: Ummmm...ok
Einslie looked on confused as Aura and Marty left the smithy
Einslie: What was all of that about?
Yura: No clue
Einslie shrugged his shoulders
Einslie: Back to work i guess
