At the adventurer guild, I greet Luna once again and deliver quest material, I give it all since I don’t know how to make potion, basically I need skill crafting and alchemy to make some potions. I read at forum that you can also learn it from a book but if you can’t read it and understand it you can’t learn it.

Just a bit info about this game. In this game almost everything is realistic, difference is about the existent of Help Window. In The New Welt game, AI did not know about the origin of Help Window, they only know that they are born with Help Window or some other said that Help Window is blessed from the God.

I have 1 bag and 300 Copper coin. I ask Luna about where I could buy a weapon, she said that there is living Undead Blacksmith in the city, he live at the corner of Market District. She gave me an old map so as not I get lost in the city.

When I get there, I see an Undead Spirit sitting at the front door of Blacksmith shop, it seems he is the blacksmith himself. He have bulky muscle but I wonder why he did not do any blacksmith activity. I began to approaching him.

“excuse me sir, my name is Selamet, are you the blacksmith owner shop?”

‘Obviously idiot!, he wear blacksmith clothes and he’s the only one left!’

“yes I am, my name Bhard but to be precise I was a blacksmith”

“what do you mean you was a blacksmith? Did you lose your ability or something?”

“no I’m not losing my ability, for your information, I was the best blacksmith at the peak war 120 years ago”

“then why?”

“I can’t lift my hammer anymore”

“what do you mean you can’t lift it? Isn’t that undead spirit is able to pick or touch a real object right?”

“it seems you don’t know about undead spirit need some mana to touch or take something, it’s like when you pick a book on the floor, you need small amount of mana to pick it, but when you lift a hammer, you need a lot of mana and also when swing it, you need huge amount mana pool, unfortunately my mana pool is small”

“oh… then, do you have any weapon that still can be use?”

“I don’t have it, the only left is rusty weapons”

“how about you teach me how to blacksmithing?”

“WHAT? YOU? BWAHAHAHAHA, you are just a big bone! How could you lift a hammer with that bones?”

“Don’t underestimate me, I have a decent strength, here, I show you, Share Status Window”

“Hmmmm … you are right, you are not just a big bone”

“so how about it? You feel sad that you can’t lift it and cannot do blacksmithing, so how about do that instead of you?”

“hmmmm… alright, but you have to listen what I said, FIRST! You have to clean the forge, because it’s been a decade I did not clean it”

“thank you, but I think I will doing that tomorrow, I have to go for a while right now”

“okay then, see you tomorrow”

Actually I want to do that immediately but I’m afraid that I have been playing this game for a long times, I think I need some rest for a while.

“log out game”

When I open my eyes, I feel a bit dizzy, maybe because I haven’t get used to it.

I look at the clock, it’s still 11.23 PM, I thought I have gone for a long time. In the guide book explained that 1 day in real life is 4 day in game, I thought when I’m playing that game it’s like the time is more faster 4 times that the real world, how silly I am.

I haven’t take a bath since yesterday, so I take a bath and go outside to get some lunch. I check my Cellphone but no message or miscall, it seems everyone is busy. There is some café nearby my apartment so I decided to go there. When I arrive at the café shop, it’s so crowded, it seems I arriving when the break time but then I hear someone shouting my name, when I turn around I see Janet sitting alone.

“Sulis! Come here!”

So I walk at her table

“ah, Janet … what are doing here?”

“you are the one who should be asked that question! What are you doing here?”

“I want to get some lunch here, but it seems this place is so crowded”

“so do I, how about we eat together?”

“uhm, sure, but are you alone?”

“yes, actually I was inviting Maria but she said she couldn’t come because of she need to take care her son”

“well- that unfortunate”

“It’s good to see you now, I thought you are depressed or something like that because of Mr Rudi, and all of sudden you sending latter of resign”

“no, I’m alright, how about you? This café is far from workplace, why you have lunch here?”

“ah, said that I was sick so I came back home early, hehehe”

Afterward we had more chat. Despite being lazy person, Janet is a kind woman, she is late twenty yet her face and physical body is like a teenage girl. After we finish our lunch and say goodbye I go to nearby mini-market before go back at my apartment to fill food stock at least for a week. I need to get more serious and concentrate for the game.

When I'm at my apartment. I began to seek some information about the History of Great War and an Undead information. Unfortunately there is no information about Undead, just general information from official website. At least I have enough information about The Great War, so I began to login inside the game.

I was greeted by the blacksmith, it’s about learn something from him. First he explained about the common sense about blacksmithing, like material quality, type of the material, how to swing your hammer, and you can mix the material if you have Transmutation skill.

After a few days I manage to have decent skill and small boost stats, I have Beginner Crafting lvl 6, Beginner Smithing lvl 5, Beginner Polishing lvl 4, and Beginner Smelthing lvl 4.

At the last day of training, I made a Greatsword which is adapted to my size.

“I have seen you that you got a talent as blacksmith, fella”

“thank you, mr Bhard …”

“ah wait, there is something I want you to have it, please wait here”

after a few moment later, he’s back with some books.

“I want you to have this, this is a book of Repairing, Identification book and basic knowledge of Transmutation”

“Woah! Thank you so much but why you gave it to me?”

“well, since I can’t lift anymore and I already dead, better to pass it to someone who can do blacksmithing”

‘but I already dead too’ I want to retort it but naaah.

I was thinking, that this activity is not a quest but yet I get some reward, I wonder why.

“you must be really amazing blacksmith back then, you have transmutation skill”

“no I’m not, I able to learn repairing and identification skill but I can’t learn about the transmutation skill, because of I’m a lill bit dumb, UAHAHAHA!”

“is that so? Then this must be really difficult to learn it”

“no, you can learn it maybe, and also there is someone who can help you learn something from a book”

“really? Then who is he?”

“not he but she, she is undead spirit like me, you can find it at burned building not far from here”

When he told me about that, there is Librarian undead spirit living at burned library, or at least the remaining of the library. He said during the war, Demon hate acknowledge of human, so they burn Human language book and library because they confident about their own acknowledge.

When I’m on my way there, I was thinking this activity might take a long time. Well... learn something from someone day bay day is not that bad, I wish this won’t take too long.

I arrive at the remaining of the library building. I see a girl sitting and reading a burned book, there is also a pile of books surrounding her, maybe from the burned remaining, and some book is can be saved and readable.

Before I start, I take a deep breath and I will try my best learn from everyone, because acknowledge is also a power.
