Inside the workshop
The four Ronk brothers were doing their own work.
But suddenly someone kicked open the door of the workshop.
"Hey Adele "I am back," a man said as he walked inside the workshop.
"You bastard, how many times did I not tell you to not kick open the damn door?" Adele yelled at that person and pulled out his hammer to beat the living hell out of him.
"Hey, hey, today I have reason to come here, not like other days," the man said.
"Tell me the reason after I beat you," Adele says as he swings his hammer.
And the one-sided beating began.
..
Bang!
...
Bang!
...
Bang!
...
After a long section, Adele stopped
"Now tell me your reason; after that, I will think if we should continue or not," Adele said as he rested the hammer on his shoulder.
"After all the beating you gave me, you still want to continue, you ruthless bastard."
"As you still have the strength to complain, I think we should start with the next section of beating."
"N0, no, please, no, please, no, I beg you, please..."
Bang
...
Bang!
..
Bang!
...
.
After a long time, Adele stopped and sat down on a chair.
"Now say what the reason you are here is."
The man who was beaten to death wakes up and sits on his knees (in Japanese style).
"I want you to make me a weapon."
"No," Adele instantly replies.
"Yes. What? Wait, you didn't even hear my request for the weapon I wanted," the man said as he stood up.
"Endeavour, why the fuck do you even need a weapon for? You're the king of all weapons, the being who can use all the weapons there are in this world. You can just wipe out any weapon you want and use it like a master of said weapon."
"But I am still not famous." I don't have a weapon like the sword demon; he is known all around the world only because of his weapon; everyone remembers his weapon, not him. "Like how are people going to remember me with my crazy hair as a reference?" Endeavour said
"Why are you so fixed on making yourself so famous?" Adele asked.
Endeavour first hesitated but gave up and said:
"I just don't want to be forgotten by this world, even if I die." "I want to believe that there is a home for me too where there are people who remember me and care for me," he said with a voice filled with sadness.
Seeing it, Adele sighs.
"Okay, I will make your weapon."
"Seriously, you will do this for me," Endeavour said as he looked at Adele with hope.
"Yes, say what you need before I change my mind."
Hearing it, Endeavour was happy, as he said.
"What I want is a weapon that can change its shape to any weapon I want."
Hearing it, Adele had veins coming out of his forehead because of anger.
"Fucking bastard, you never give me a break, do you?" "Do you even know how hard it is to make a weapon that changes from sword to spear just by extending its handle?"
Adele prepares him for another round of beating as he moves towards Endeavour.
But before he could start, Endeavour said
"I know it's hard and that you will kill me if I mention it, which is why I came up with an idea."
"Fuck your idea; you're going to die now."
"Hear me out, man, please," Endeavour begged. Adele
"Okay, I will hear you out, but if your idea is not good, be ready for a beating." Adele warned him.
Hearing it, Endeavour started explaining his idea.
"You said it is hard to make one weapon to change another; what about multiple weapons reformed together to form a new shape that can go back to its original shape at the user's wish?" he said as he looked at everyone, including the Ronk brothers.
"It is possible, but you need to have many weapons in your arsenal to make a single weapon change; it will be a waste of time and equipment," Darnell said.
Hearing it, Endeavour had hope.
"But to make it, we need many more weapons; we cannot use the weapons inside the store as they are for sale," Belle said.
Hearing it, Endeavour thinks, removes his fanny pack from his waist, and throws it at them.
Darnell caught it and looked at Endeavour.
"Why did you throw it here?"
"That fanny pack has around 13 million weapons in it."
"13 million weapons "How do you have this many weapons?" Danielle asked.
"Some are prices that I got after winning against many foes, and the same are stolen; others are bought with money."
"But still...."
"Okay, we will make it," Adele said before Danielle could finish her line.
"You will make it," Endeavour asked with a doubt.
"Yes, come find us after 5 years." "Until then, do not come here; kick the damn door open."
"5 years okay," Endeavour said as he stood up.
"Get out before I beat you up again," Adele said as he picked up his hammer again.
See it, Endeavour stands up saying
"Bye, see you in 5 years," he said as he dashed out with unbelievable speed.
See his go Danielle asked
"Brother, can we really make something like it?"
"No, but I still want to try; I want to see him happy." Adele said as he picked up his hammer and went back to his work.
Why did Adele want Endeavour to make me happy?
Endeavour was a demi-human.
Yes, a demi-human. When the dwarfs were facing a great disaster, alliance was not the only thing that brought them together humans and dwarves; there were other reasons too, and one of those reasons is demi-humans.
born from dwarfs and human beings that looked like humans but had the lifespan of dwarfs.
even weak demi-humans have a lifespan of 200–250 years, but there is a big drawback for demi-humans that are born from dwarves and humans: they have the mentality of humans, which means that after the 100 years of their life they slowly start to lose their mind, which shortens their lifespan to 150 years or even less. But there are cases where they did not lose their mind, like Endeavour.
Endeavour was the son of Adele's friend, who fought with him in many battles but unfortunately died in the war.
He saw Endeavour come to life, from how he first wielded his first weapon to how he achieved everything. To sum it up, he saw Endeavour as his own son, and he wanted his son to be happy.
Knowing it, the other Ronk brothers started to try to make a miracle, as the weapon Endeavour told us to make was nothing short of a miracle.
With it, years pass by.
after 4 years and 8 months
As a man walks into the workshop
"Shop is closed; please come tomorrow," Belle said without looking who came it as he was alone there and other Ronks' brothers were out doing something.
"Hello belle"
Hearing a familiar voice, Belle looked up to see Endeavour standing at the door.
Seeing him, Belle asked
"What happened to you, Endeavour?" Belle was worried about him.
Endeavour, who now looked miserable, His face was pale as a ghost. His eyes were carved in black, and underneath, he also had a black coat covering his right side and his body.
"Nothing happened to me; I'm fit and fine," Endeavour said.
But Belle did not believe and wanted to ask more, but before he could ask, he was questioned.
"Belle, is my weapon ready?" Endeavour asked in an odd tone.
Hearing it, Belle said "yes."
"Even if you are 4 months earlier than the said time, we finished it 8 months ago." "You can take it if you want," Belle said as he pulled up half a meter-long wooden chest with markings all over it and put it on the table with a bang.
Belle opens up her chest.
Inside it, there were 10 black rings that had markings all over them, just like the wooden chest.
"These 10 rings can change to all 10 million weapons you gave us, and also the other 3 million weapons that were lost. This is an experiment to see if we could combine more than a million weapons together." but it failed. "For that, we added an additional feature to the rings: changing their shape to any weapon, that is, the ring can change its size and can be used as a projectile or a whip in their base mode." [Author's note: To sum it up, it is like the 10 rings from the Shang-chi movie, but with the added feature of changing to any weapon of the user's choice.]
"You can activate it just by inserting your mana into it."
But hearing it, Endeavour did not have any reaction. He put his left hand on the rings and channeled his mana into them, but it was not to activate them but to do something else. After some time, he removed his hand from the rings and closed them.
"Belle "I will be going,so say my thanks to Adele for everything he did for me," he said before turning back and going out without the rings.
Seeing it, Belle asked
"You forgot your weapon."
"No, I did not forget it. I... I... I... just am not fit for it now."
Endeavour said with a voice filled with sadness,
He moves out of the workshop before saying:
"You should find someone who is more suitable for it than me now," he said, disappearing in thin air.
Confused by what Endeavour just said, Belle tried to talk. But before Belle could say anything to Endeavour,
He vanished into thin air.
After some time, Adele rushed back to the workshop after hearing what had happened to Endeavour from the people in the city.
He kicks open the door, which startles Belle.
But before he could ask, he was questioned again.
"Did Endeavour come here?"
"Yes"
"Where did he go?"
"I don't know."
"Fucking damm it," Adele cursed as he dashed out of the workshop with a boom.
Seeing it, Belle understood something had gone horribly wrong.
He closed the workshop dashed behind Adele, and he informed his other brothers of this situation using a telecom
Adele started to ask the villagers about Endeavour. Many said they didn't know, but one among them said that he went to the forest where the cliff of the abyss was.
Hearing it, Adele dashed to the forest, meeting up with everyone else along the way.
They asked what happened.
Adele said..
Adele At City Market.
Adele was shopping like usual.
After shopping, he went into the bar to buy a bear for him and his brothers.
He heard two dwarfs chatting.
"Hey, did you hear?"
"What"
"You know that demi-human Endeavour."
"Yes, what about it?"
"He fought against a demon."
"What's new about it is that he fights demons all the time."
"No, no, this time I fought against a named demon."
"Which named demon?"
"Demon of Despair"
Hearing Adele dash at him, picking him up by his collar
"What did you say the names were?" he asked as he released his killing intent to its max.
This scared the living hell out of him and knocked him unconscious.
Adele looked at the other dwarf.
"De... de... Demon of d... de... Despair," he said as he shuttered out of fear.
Hearing it, Adele dashed out with all her might.
#forest
"What demon of despair? Why is that bastard here?"
Darnell cured
"Should he not be at his home land after the war?" Danielle said.
"I do not know why he is here, but I know one thing: he is not here for a good cause," Belle said.
"We will take care of it later; first find Endeavour."
Adele ordered as he increased his speed.
As the road closed near the spot called the Cliff of Abyss
They saw Endeavour near the edges.
"Adele, stop. If you come near, I will jump."
Endeavour said without turning behind
Hearing it, everyone stops.
"Don't do it, Endeavour," Adele said.
"I can't go forward anymore; I have lost everything."
Endeavour said as he turned around.
"Endeavour, don't take a rational decision; there are people who care for you," Belle said.
A gust of air hit Endeavour, which removed his coat that covered his right side.
"Demon Curse," Danielle said.
Everyone saw a black mark on Endeavour's hand, which turned his hand black, and it was spreading to all his body.
"Adele "I was careless; this is the payment I got for my carelessness."
"Endeavour...." Adele was lost for words about what to say to him.
The Demon Curse was a curse that slowly consumed one to the point where he lost all rationality, went berserk, and attacked his close ones. It was a curse with no cure found. One of the reasons that made a demon deadlier
"Adele "I want to request something," Endeavour asked.
Adele can't reply, as he is holding back his tears.
Seeing it, Endeavour said
"Don't be sad." "I am happy to see that even if I leave this world, there are people who remember me, dad."
Hearing it, the tears that Adele was holding back burst out.
Seeing it, Endeavour also cried, but it was suddenly replaced with determination.
He said
"Dad, find someone more suitable for that weapon who will win where I lose."
With a smile on his face, he said
"Good bye" as he jumped off the cliff to his death.
Seeing it, the sadness was replaced by anger as he roared.
"I will kill you, bastard," he said with all his anger, which released his killing intent to its max.
