Elder this is for you I said as I handed him the common tier ring.
"Can you show me how your legendary ring works?"
He smiled and said "You still don't understand the value of even a common tier ring.
"People in the outpost would want this ring, in fact, escape rings are the most coveted treasures here even if it is a common ring."
This old guy I guess I could always resort to my trump card.
"If you show me how it works ill make you a legendary ring."
Bribery, apparently legendary rings were the trump card of all trump cards.
"You got yourself a deal young man, now don't do back on it. I actually bring in about half of all resources in this fortress by myself."
He brought out a constantly black and white flashing ring from his chest.
He slowly inserted the common ring into the middle of his ring and it was ground into dust and absorbed by the constantly flashing ring.
So the more conditions and the more powerful beast or artifact that was used. The stronger the ability ring would come out.
With my curiosity satisfied I followed grand elder up to the main floor.
"Let's go to the winery to repay your debt," Elder said
I followed him all the way there all on my own.
The chains never activated once, probably because cannon man didn't even believe I was capable of running away.
The number on my arm had gone down too 26 but I wasn't mad.
I developed a whole new understanding of ability rings and I got to taste dragon wine for free.
When we got there we went to the back were the patio that overlooked the vineyard was.
There was an old man sitting next to the balcony sipping wine.

He was the only one outside so it was obvious he was the owner.
Before we walked up grand elder asked in a hush tone "you made him a mythic ring right"
"No, I made him a legendary one" Elder almost tripped and fell over and said
"From now on your outlawed from making anything above mythic grade. Your gift is too large and has implications you don't even begin to understand."
Alright alright yeash I was just trying to get more benefits.
We sat down and they discussed things I didn't care to listen too.
This time the wine was normal but that wasn't going to stop me from getting drunk again.
As soon as I arrived at the table the waitress switched out again and low and behold morgan was pouring me wine again.
I tried to get properly drunk but apparently, morgan was instructed to keep me at the level where I could still understand the conversation.
At some point, I'm pretty sure she was just serving me grape juice.
I began to get mad but just as I was about to say something, elder spoke.
"I believe you have something to say to my friend."
"I'm sorry for acting in an irresponsible way and drinking your wine without constraint. With the support of grand Elder, I was able to come up with a way to pay you back."
I handed him the ring I didn't examine it before but on it was a dragon swimming around in a wine glass.
As soon as the owner saw it his hands started shaking.
"Young man, you made a legendary ring for making wine?"
"Haha I made a legendary ring for sunscreen too."
He almost spit out his wine but managed to keep his composure.

He started to examine it before his jaw dropped again.
"Do you truly understand how great of an accomplishment this is?"
He asked with a flabbergasted look on his face.
"Not really, I just made your wine taste twice as good."
Grand Elder seemed to find all of this funny as he just sat there with a mildly amused look on his face.
"The benefit of hundred dragon wine is that it doubles the effect of all lower year wine consumed after it. That's it's only affect, its an amplifier for the rest of the wine. If you double it that means all other wines have quadruple the effect."
Apparently, even grand elder didn't expect this outcome as he just stared at me.
"Hey, morgan I also made you a present."
She looked tentatively at her boss and he quickly gestured her over.
I pulled out the butterfly ring and handed it to her.
It was sort of a party trick ring so it didn't need mana to work plus I had to put a requirement on it too because it was only of the rare grade.
Her face instantly flushed with excitement as she equipped it apparently it suited her just fine.
"If my eyesight didn't fail me that seems to be a rare ring. It seems like a great fortune has been encountered by your winery today" Elder said
"Indeed it seems so, does that ring allow alcohol that's poured by her to be more effective?"
They both looked at me with eager eyes.

All the while, there are whispers of a greater and more ancient power coming to life. A power Brenn’s wife knows more about than she wants to let on. It’s a good thing Brenn is used to fighting. CW: Contains mildly graphic scenes of violence/death, topics of unwanted pregnancy/abortion, scientific experimentation on sapient beings, depression/suicide, grief, and trauma. The tone of this fiction is often dark and distinctly dystopian in lighter shades of Margaret Atwood, though where there is darkness there is always hope and light. On Hiatus Until September When the School Year Begins and Mom This story takes a considerable amount of time and mental energy to complete. I thought I had enough backlog and time to post it as a serial while COVID kept my child home from school, but it turns out while I can quickly write other pieces, I cannot produce the quality I need with this one at an acceptable rate. We'll resume in September when my days are much freer. Thank you for your patience and stay tuned for a different storytelling romp more suited for a serial platform in the meantime.
