Adriana saw that so far, Deepwyn was safe and progressing well, with Luria, Ikiria, Lily and Ajacky working on training the troops.
With that, she can focus on other things, in her case, it was utilizing [God's Silver] and [Lightning Gold].
But her current level of [Forge] and [Rune Forge] are quite low, she also needs some blueprints and study more about firearms.
As such, Adriana built a forge in Deepwyn and sealed it away, where she began to spend her days there, practicing, but progress was very slow, as such, she decided to spend her Skill Points!
Either way, she'll regain her knowledge of the area, not a loss, even if she's a cheapskate when it comes to spending her System points.
As such, [Forge] which was Level 66, has gone to Level 600, the cap!
534 Skill Points were spent, almost 1/3 of her current total, but she didn't regret it.
Her mind was simply bathed in knowledge and experience, she recovering what she had conquered in the past, just as the System was correcting it and giving her many inspirations.
All of that lasted for seconds, but when Adriana opened her eyes, the entire forge looked different, as if it were part of her.
Without thinking too much, she threw 299 Points into [Rune Forge] which she didn't use much, bringing her up to Level 300!
With that, more than 1/3 of her accumulated Points with such fervor disappeared, but she recovered a lot of important knowledge, not to mention that Strength and Endurance increased by 27 Points, while Intelligence and Wisdom increased by 30 Points!
Adriana reaching out, manifested her Mana on her fingertip and began to draw runes in the air.
Level 300 [Rune Forge] gave her many levels to [Runic Knowledge] and along with her magical knowledge and instinct, she unlocked [Runic Magic] which is very powerful.
She knows she should have done it sooner, but there was so much stuff, as she was too lazy to pile more tasks on top of the ones she already had, that she neglected something so important.
But now she's focusing on what matters, so she got to work!
She first needed to warm up, remember the sensations of how it is to forge and, of course, adapt to her "new" experiences.
As such, she has decided to utilize many of the resources she got from Aphrodite, to create an ax for herself, which will follow the same principles as this beauty here:
[Astral Ax – Rare]
- Category: Weapon / Magic / Ax
- Damage: 40 (Damage Range: 20~60)
- Scaling: Strength(STR)
- Astral Projection: At the cost of 10 AP, expand the range of the ax by 5 times!
"Hello darling, long time no see!" - Adriana said smiling at her first creation of Rare Quality in this life.
An experiment that went extremely well, giving her a lot of satisfaction and accompanying her for a long time, even though she was not the best of her level, as it was tailor-made for her, it is only natural that with her as its wielder, this ax surpassed Epic weapons!
Smiling, Adriana gave him a kiss, before taking off his handle and throwing it in the furnace, even though it has ordinary materials, it was enriched and enchanted by his Astral Energy, now he has a much superior energy, but it doesn't matter, he wants test.
"From the skeleton of my best creation, I will create something even better, at least I will try!" - Adriana said with a certain passion and confidence.
It might be stupid the first thing she wants to create, to be her ax, but… nothing ventured, nothing gained!
As such, she watched the ax melt, before dropping in a few more ingots and allowing the metal to mix.
She then exerted her [Gluttony], watching it seep into the molten iron and begin to spread, permeating throughout the metal.
Soon she felt something in her center, it was where Astral Energy was accumulated, which was shrunken and inactive, but when she received her mother's gentle touch, she became excited and happily received it, quickly changing, being corrupted and adapted to higher energy. from your mother.
And from that core, veins of Gluttony Energy were created throughout the molten metal, becoming something magnificent that exceeded Adriana's expectations.
Smiling, she soon plunged her hand into the molten iron, her skin was scorched, her HP diminished, but exerting her Gluttony, she took everything that was pure and proper from the furnace, before taking it to the table.
Adriana took it all in without hesitation, her hand turned black but soon returned to normal then she picked up a hammer, which is of Unusual quality, she forged it but didn't think much of it.
Exercising it with her [Gluttony Power], she began hammering the metal and exerting her power, she shaped it to her will!
Sparks flew from the explosions with each hammer blow, Adriana didn't blink, she just hammered constantly and in a perfect rhythm, who listened from outside, listened and felt mesmerized.
Connoisseurs of the area were amazed by the sound of the hammer, thinking that as a Goddess, at least that she should be able to do.
But ignoring the small minds, Adriana spent days and nights at the forge, working incessantly, constantly heating the metal being shaped and hammering it.
It was slowly taking shape, due to the volume of the metal, Adriana decided to make its long handle already attached to the head, without the need for something made of wood.
She constantly poured her energy into her creation, feeding it, this gluttonous little thing, before continuing to work.
Soon 1 week has passed, a wonderful ax is visible on the table, a long black body, an extremely sharp and deadly blade of the size of 50 cm and is curved, behind a sharp point for sticking.
A long metallic handle, smiling, Adriana gathered her strength and energy, before giving the last hammer blow and activating [Magic Hammer].
CLANG~
The metallic clink sounded sharply then.
BOOOMMM!!
An explosion sounded and a deadly, greedy aura swirled around, devouring Adriana's energy as she stood and watched as her ax floated and molded itself.
Soon its head, a beautiful and sharp blade, became thick, losing its sharpness and seemed to form the head of some kind of creature, a shark!
The sharp point behind it then became its fin.
Adriana was confused and shocked, but delighted when something popped into her mind.
{Mother!}
Her mouth moved, but the voice rang in her mind and slowly the ax landed in her hands.
She looked at him, her heart pounding, for the first time in her life, she had created a Weapon with Ego!
"Hello my child!" - Adriana said smiling with great excitement.
{Mother… hungry!}
Adriana smiled, understanding and giving him thousands in units of her energy.
{Thank you… yummy!}
'Your Ego is still very weak... what is the quality?' - Asked Adriana who took a look.
[Eater - Artifact of Ego(Epic/Legendary), Tier 3]
- Category: Weapon / Ego / Ax
- +10 STR
- +5 RES
- +5 WIS
- Damage: 250 (Damage Range: 125~375)
- Scaling: Strength(STR) and Wisdom(WIS)
- Endless Gluttony: It can endlessly devour any material and energy, to evolve infinitely!
- Desperate Prey: When a prey is specified, it will be 5× more susceptible to despair and fear!
- Greedy Devastation: Unleash a blow so devastating and frightening, it will consume everything in its path, regardless of enemy or ally!
"Haha…" - Adriana laughed, unable to contain her joy.
"I love you!" - Adriana said without hesitation, already giving Eater a kiss.
{I love you too…}
Adriana smiled, then she looked at the mess and marks everywhere, smiling, she left after changing and wielding Eater.
She found it odd that her weapon already had a name, maybe it's the System or Eater decided on that name anyway, it was cool!
…
As Adriana exited the forge, she noticed that there were a lot of people here, a crowd that had gathered since the last explosion and the silence of the forge.
And when everyone saw her, they looked at her with curiosity, among them are Luria, Ikiria, Lily, Ajacky, Belladi and Yali.
Smiling, Adriana threw Eater, who floated in the air and slowly his body expanded, a huge shark head looking down at all the living beings below, which shuddered, as if they were facing a ferocious predator!
{Food?}
Eater asked curiously, but Adriana said. - "No, these are friends, you cannot eat friends!"
{… OK…}
'Why do I feel like I won a Venom?'-Adriana asked herself, then ignoring and extending her hand, Eater flew to her hand.
Eater has many capabilities, but she needs time to develop, so she will make sure to look for amazing materials to strengthen her.
As for [God's Silver] and [Lightning Gold], it would be interesting, but it has other uses and has other ideas for Eater.
...
"I want it too!" - Said Ikiria looking passionately at Eater.
"Unfortunately, it's not that easy!" -Adriana said sighing and stroking her head, Ikiria pouting.
"I remember that to create an item with Ego, you need some catalyst, did you have something like that?" - Lily asked scratching her chin.
"No and yes!" -Adriana said awkwardly and explained what she used to forge Eater.
Probably from constant use and care, her [Astral Axe] was giving some indications, so under Level 600 Forge and Level 300 Rune Forge, Adriana was able to perform such a miracle, giving birth to an Ego!
"Well, let me have a look, System, please!" - Adriana said, she had paused the System notifications, as sometimes it happened in inappropriate places.
[For creating an Artifact with Ego, "Forge" has reached Level 615!]
[You have exceeded the "Forge" Skill Limit for Tier 3!]
[You have developed an Ego, acquiring the Title "Creator of Consciousness"!]
[You have forged an Artifact, acquiring the Title "Sky Blacksmith"!]
[You forged an Artifact with Ego, acquiring the Title "Miraculous Blacksmith"!]
[You have forged an Epic/Legendary Artifact, acquiring the Title "Blacksmith Master"!]
[Creator of Consciousness: Create or Develop an Ego!]
- +10% Success Rate in creating Egos!
- +10,000 HP, MP and SP!
[Heaven Blacksmith: The one who forged an artifact without the aid of Alchemy, Miracles or Tricks, purely for her forging!]
- +10% Success Rate when forging Artifacts!
- +20 All Attributes!
- +5000 HP, MP and SP!
[Miracle Smith: The one who forged an Artifact without tricks and made it develop an Ego on its first try, even if it wasn't, but what if it was a Miracle?]
- +20,000 HP, MP and SP!
- +50 All Attributes!
[Blacksmith Master: Forge 1 Epic Grade Equipment!]
- +100 HP, +10 STR and +20 RES!
"CUM!" - Adriana screamed as she began to receive constant blasts of empowering energy, flooding her with power, constantly changing her entire being!
In moments, she became much stronger, almost twice as much!
Ajacky was confused and worried, moving forward, but Luria stopped her, implying that there was nothing to do.
Already Yali, she went to Adriana and no one stopped her, why? Nobody would be able to stop her and if Yali, who still doesn't know how to speak properly and doesn't understand, in such an intense moment, naturally could kill one of them by accident.
As such, Yali hugged Adriana and looked fiercely around, searching for a culprit.
"Yali, Adriana, getting strong! Pain of getting strong!" -Said Luria trying to explain, but Yali was roaring, not understanding, she didn't want to hear and didn't even care, her master, who she loves is suffering!
"YALI!" - Adriana roared clenching her teeth, startling Yali, who looked at her confused and worried.
"I'm fine, thank you dear… I'm fine!" - Adriana said sweating and her body still hurting, but little by little it was relieving, these explosions of improvements are irritating, even if they are good in a certain sense, it is a lot of pain!
Umu?
Adriana stroked her head, pushing her away and sitting up, Yali looked at her in doubt, Adriana adjusted her breathing and a while later, she gave a big sigh. - "I am better!"
Soon she got up and said. - "Holy crap! All my attributes have increased by at least 70 points!"
"What?!" - Luria and Lily screamed in shock.
"Is not fair!" -Ikiria pouted, but she was also pretty shocked.
Adriana smiled, - "Eater, you are my treasure, never dare to leave my side, my beautiful daughter!" - Adriana said hugging Eater.
{Hehe!}
Adriana smiled with great joy, looking at her loved ones, she then asked. - "Who wants to fuck ?!"
"I!" - Yali was the first to scream and raise her hand, learning from Ikiria, that's how it is done when Adriana says those words.
Adriana laughed and soon took them all to a Dungeon, her little corner of passion, where they fucked for hours, while Eater, that pure child, yawned and slept, finding it boring!
...
With Eater becoming her new weapon, with immense destructive power, Adriana has gotten her hands on Tier 5 Legendary Weapons in the past, but... this is the first time one has excited her as much as Eater.
Most likely, Eater will have a Status screen similar to his, but as his Ego is still developing, it will be a while before something like this is displayed by the System.
But it is noticeable that Eater has many hidden abilities, such as the ability to store energy and create it naturally.
Levitation is also among her skill list, but she is unable to do it alone, it is still too weak.
But that doesn't matter now, as over time Eater will evolve.
The important thing now is to create your Firearm that will help you to fear nothing more in the Deep World.
As such, she went back to her forge and started the process, she was still practicing, Eater was a great miracle, but it was luck mixed with coincidences, that's all!
And so she forged swords, axes, daggers, and more, rediscovering the gratification of creating amazing items.
The problem was the materials, luckily Aphrodite is full of magical materials.
Adriana naturally sent all this to Aphrodite, she created some bayonets, before starting to craft some firearms.
Obviously it was something more difficult, needing more care, but she was doing very well, having problems since she is not very good at it, but her System gave her the skill [Knowledge of Firearms].
With so much knowledge, she improved, until the Eater who accompanied her every day, said...
{Mommy… I want to help…}
Adriana was confused by her saying that, but she soon said. - "Sorry honey, but you don't-"
Eater shut her up when she showed that she could help him, she has already shown to be able to take the form of a huge and frightening ax, but now, she took the form of a hammer, which scared Adriana.
[Ding!]
[Eater has evolved, no longer being considered an Axe!]
Adriana's jaw dropped and she smiled.
{Mommy…feed me!}
Said Eater, Adriana was confused until she understood that she was talking about the hammer in her hand, so she gave it to Eater, who soon devoured it.
Next, Eater vibrated and then shrank a little, landing in his hand, a hammer with symbols of a black shark!
[Eater - Artifact of Ego(Epic/Legendary), Tier 3]
- Category: Weapon / Ego
- +10 STR
- +5 RES
- +5 WIS
- Damage: 250 (Damage Range: 125~375)
- Scaling: Strength(STR) and Wisdom(WIS)
- Endless Gluttony: It can endlessly devour any material and energy, to evolve infinitely!
- Desperate Prey: When a prey is specified, it will be 5× more susceptible to despair and fear!
- Greedy Devastation: Unleash a blow so devastating and frightening, it will consume everything in its path, regardless of enemy or ally!
- Metamorphosis: Capable of taking the form of weapons or instruments that he is aware of, being able to replicate their effects as long as it does not exceed its Rarity!
(Modes: War Axe, War Hammer, Forge Hammer)
Adriana smiled seeing the last Skill, Eater is really amazing!
{Mommy… let's play!}
"Of course my dear, let's play!" - Adriana said and then she continued to work.
This time it seemed different, Adriana saw that the metal molded more easily and followed her ideas better, she soon understood that Eater devours the effects of hammers, that Hammer of Forge, was an Unusual hammer with some effects that improved the molding of the metal , as well as helping to increase the odds of success.
Eater must have devoured these options, she took a look and indeed, Eater can take many other forms and each form can have its own set of abilities.
This made Adriana understand that it will be good for Eater to devour a lot of weapons.
'Now I want an Armor with Ego!' - Adriana thought smiling while working.
…
Days later, people came to the forge to carefully transport the weapons forged by Adriana.
Adriana had forged quite a few Rifles, she decided to create one for herself, she's always liked this weapon, it's her favorite… in fact, it's her favorite from the Rifle category!
Her preferred firearm is a Colt Long Barreled Pistol, why? She just thinks it's charming, has thoughts of creating one in the future, but right now she needs power!
She could have created a double barrel shotgun, but she wants more concentrated power that she can use both long and close range, not need something that spreads the damage.
But it is obvious that the Shotguns proved to be very efficient to fight against the Creatures of Chaos, even more so with the Magical Soldiers, being a powerful Frontline Elite.
(Note: The term "Creatures of the Deep" has officially been replaced as Magic concepts have been introduced, such as Chaos and Order, so slowly everyone is accepting these new concepts!)
Adriana created some, even installed Magic Runes, as there weren't many Runes made for Firearms, she had to create, it's not an easy thing to develop Runes, but she understands the principles and has made Rune Weapons in the past.
As such, she developed the [Projectile Rotation] Rune, which is embedded within the barrel of the weapon, significantly increasing the weapon's penetrating power.
Adriana also created the [Impact Explosion] Rune, modified specifically for bullets, the problem is that she has to write Rune by Rune, on each bullet!
It is a time consuming process, but the Bullets in the instant they reach the target, explode with 2 to 3 times more power, against Creatures of Chaos, its effect is something phenomenal!
Adriana is still developing more Runes, not to mention that she will need a group to teach Rune Magic, to help increase the production of Rune Armaments.
At the very least, Rune Weapons are being given to troops, which is making it much easier to annihilate Chaos Creatures.
Even with this new wave of weapons and after 1 week of tests and adaptations, there are plans for an expedition group, led by one of the experienced Military Officers, to investigate the area, clean swarms of monsters and look for suitable areas for the creation of outposts.
It's time for the City of Deepwyn to expand!
…
"Your Holiness, thank you for your efforts, we will do our best to protect your name!" - Said Belladi respectfully, she personally wanted to receive the first batch of items created by her Goddess.
"No problem. Soon I will develop my personal weapon with Silver and Gold, after that I will start a search for the village and city, for those with talents in Magic, including, put this in the village and city, ask people to see it." - Adriana said calmly as she passed some metal plaques with a shiny Runic symbol.
"…if I may ask, what would that be?" - Asked Belladi curious.
"It is a Rune of Sensitivity, mixed with one of Marking, the instant someone gifted and sensitive to Mana, as well as the Runes, sees it, it will be marked, it will help me to discover if there are talents within your people, even if I don't expect too much." - Adriana said carefree.
People in this world don't have contact with Mana, so it's hard to find any talent in this area.
For example, so far, no one talented enough to learn Magic Spells has emerged, as well as [Magic Force] is still at a level well below the desired standard.
"Understood!" Belladi nodded and took a good look, feeling sad that she wasn't marked.
Adriana smiled and patted her head, before going back inside the forge and preparing the main resources.
...
It's been a few hours since Adriana secluded herself in the forge to create her weapon.
The reason why she uses a metal like [Shining Gold] and [God's Silver] in the creation of a Firearm, instead of some Melee Weapon, is because of her Magic!
Naturally, in terms of science, it would be much more effective to create ammo or melee weapons with this metal, logically speaking it's the best, but when magic is added, things change!
Adriana uses Magic in her forge, as such she brings out the full potential of the material and awakens magical properties.
As such, her reason for creating a Firearm out of these materials is in hopes of unleashing some awesome effect that will further amplify the bullets' power against Creatures of Chaos!
So she started melting the ingots, separately, then assembling the pieces, using some molds, others using Eater and her ability to modify her own size and take other forms.
In this way, Adriana created several golden and silver pieces, she also used the metal of this world that, even if little, has a slight property of causing extra damage to the Creatures of Chaos.
So she created the barrel of the weapon, using Aphrodite's enchanted wood for the handle.
She worked for hours, creating weapons for her is relatively simple now.
And then it was time to enchant with Runes, where Eater took the form of a special pen, Adriana injected her Mana.
"Stop being greedy!" - Adriana said rolling her eyes with Eater devouring everything.
{But it's yummy...}
"I'll give you more when I'm done, so help me, okay?" Adriana smiled gently.
{OK!}
Soon Eater stopped devouring her energy and let it flow, slowly marking the pieces and leaving several beautiful designs, which are Mana circuits, linked to Magic Runes.
Adriana did the same with the barrel of the gun, inside and out, as well as the grip.
Soon she finished, then started assembling, Eater took the form of a small hammer, which Adriana took after assembling her weapon and gave a light hammer blow, thus ending her creation!
A beautiful Rifle where the predominant color is black due to the barrel and the shell that protects the internal mechanisms, made entirely of [Shining Gold] and [God's Silver].
Even if it wasn't said, the inside of the gun barrel also has these materials.
Adriana analyzed the weight, pulled the trigger and heard the perfect sound, disconnected the barrel and lowered it to see the bullet compartment.
Smiling, Adriana took a look at her new creation:
[Nameless – Legendary]
- Category: Firearms / Rifle / Long Range
- Damage: 370 (Damage Range: 185~555)
- Range: 2,200~2,400 Yards!
- Abominating Chaos: Strengthens any ammo to be able to deal up to 3× Damage to Chaos creatures!
- Accuracy: At the cost of Mana, improve Accuracy and Range by 50%!
- Annihilating Shot: At the cost of Mana, focus for 30 seconds, a shot with triple damage and that will be a Critical hit!
[Runes:
Adriana smiled with joy seeing her new daughter, as for her name, she decided to name her… - "Abattoir!"
