Ario was conflicted right now, not because he only leveled up a few levels, but because of his weapon choices. He heard that the Swashbuckler is the only true dual-wielding class of Elder Tale, but he wanted it to mix it up when he made this character with his dream of becoming a police officer as his inspiration, thus the reason on choosing a Starter Pistol. However, he needed not only another sword to fit his dual-wielding class, but also a better sword than his starter one. Thankfully, he had the Blacksmith as his crafting class, so he can make the weapons himself. Unfortunately with the Apocalypse changed his life along with other players, he noticed that some players didn't rely on the crafting window anymore as this new world around them isn't some virtual reality world or anything like in his novels and manga.
Regardless, Ario didn't protest this fact as he needed to learn the new rules in this new reality as he rented out a workshop in St. Pancreas Station to work on his new swords. He did watch a few documentary about blacksmithing, so he hoped that he might forge well in trial and error. "Okay, the first thing I should do is to heat the iron bars. Also, I need to work on one blade at the time so I won't confuse them." As soon the metal bar started to glow from the heat of the forge, Ario took it out and started hammering it to shape, allowing him to forge it out into a blade for one hour. As he hammered the blade into shape, he started to imagine what will his swords look like. He wanted them to be the polar opposites to each other, but somehow the same just like his eyes: one that has color and one that doesn't. He wanted them to be representations of knowledge and strength that always evolving. Two representations of himself, which he liked to call them "Silver Strike" and "Blue Stroke".
When the forged metal stopped glowing, Ario put it back into the forge and waited for it to heat up to continue. As he waited, he pulled out another bar of metal to work on the hilt as he hammered it many times to create a sharp wave design.
CRAFTING PROGRESS: Level 1 Metal Equipment (Silver Strike/One-Handed Longsword) (1/3)
WORDS: 385 (Solo Word Count Limit: 385)
GOALS: To create new swords for Ario to use as a Swashbuckler.
