MMORPG: Rebirth of the Shadow Mage

The smithy was as one would expect, very organized and clean. Every single tool had its own place.

If the house was full of dust, the basement could be considered a direct opposite.

Before descending into the smithy I gestured Fenrir to stay upstairs in case Kilgros decides to do another inspection.

While looking around the smithy I didn't notice the dwarf sneaking up on me from behind.

" Take this "

He spoke, making me slightly jump in fright. Turning around I was about to scold him, but kept myself together seeing he had a pencil and some paper.

" I need you to draw me how you want the robe to look "

Kilgros snorted seeing my reaction.

With slightly reddened cheeks I took the pencil and started designing the cloth.

First I drew a hood with a visible shadow indicating that one wouldn't see the wearer's face. This made the dwarf's slightly widen, but kept quiet nonetheless.

" He thought that I wanted to show off "

I chuckled seeing his now surprised face receiving a cold look.

Drawing the other half of the cloak I made sure to reinforce my chest and a neck with a layer of metal.

I didn't want the cloak to impair my movements, hence only reinforced the chest and back area where my vitals are.

I also made sure to make the hood big enough, so my horns would fit in comfortably.

Seeing that I was done with the sketch I was about to leave the smithy and go tour the city while my cloak was being made, but I was stopped by Kalgros' voice.

" You are going nowhere! "

His raspy voice echoed in my ears, slightly disturbing me.

Turning around I gave him a questioning look only to be called a dumbass a few times.

" Do you know how fast we could finish your order if you help me? Come on put on the clothes at the end of the room and quickly comeback "

The blacksmith didn't even wait for me to agree and went to search for materials.

Sighing in defeat I strolled to the end of the room taking a cloth that looked like an apron and equipped it.

Since it wasn't a graded or special item it gave me no Attributes nor Effects, it was just a simple apron.

Looking at the mirror I was happy that my face was hidden. If someone decided to take this picture my career would probably be over.

' The unknown player wearing an apron... on top of his clothes... weird fetish '

I shuddered imagining how'd it go. Spending a few minutes collecting my thoughts and overcoming the fears I finally got ready to assist Kilgros.

" Come here kid! "

Following his shout I came towards him only to be given some kind of black fur. It looked as if it was as wide as paper, but its weight showed otherwise.

Somehow carrying the cloth towards one of the smithing stations I took a deep breath.

" It was hella hard "

I murmured through my breaths.

Suddenly an Idea came to my mind, opening the Status I still had 25 SP left, I've gotten from consuming the Diamond Pearl.

Putting all of them into the Strength Attribute I felt my body heating up.

" Now I should be able to lift such things "

I looked at the cloth on the table and lifted it with one hand. If previously I could barely carry it now it was as easy as lifting a watermelon.

After testing my new strength I went to assist the blacksmith further.

Soon all the needed stuff was gathered and Kalgros started working. At first he made measurements for the cloak and cut through the black fur as if it was nothing.

For some reason he did it under open fire, which I guess was a reason for the fur to be cut so easily.

Next we moved on to applying the shadow property to Cloth.

I had to continuously hold it in my palms and constantly channel Shadow energy into this cloth that seemed more like a black hole which devoured all the energy without any signs of it filling up.

After what seemed like an hour, but was actually a few minutes Kilgros took the cloth from my hands and started using various tools to sew it.

I didn't know what to do, but was soon given a dark metal chestplate and had to repeat the process of giving Shadow energy to a black hole.

After a few minutes I was about to fall over from exhaustion, when a short angel took the chestplate from my hands.

Kilgros was honestly taken aback of how much Shadow energy the boy managed to store in these items.

He had never created an item this abundant in the Shadow element. It was a pleasure for a blacksmith to overcome his limits and break records by creating yet another masterpiece.

' Good job brat '

He inaudibly said and started hammering the chestplate to fit my Body.

While he was working I was told that I could take a break, because I will not be needed further.

Unequipping the apron I threw it on a nearby chair only to be shouted at to put it at its designated spot.

Leaving Kalgros house I went to the backyard and sat in Lotus position, I needed to recover my Shadow energy I lost during the crafting process.

Feeling the shadows nearby I started attracting them by using my Shadow as a magnet. Soon enough all the shadows In the garden were strangely leaning towards me.

While I was regaining my energy Kilgros was finishing up his work.

If he had to say it honestly, It'll be hard to part with such creation. During his long years of blacksmithing he was sure that this cloak would be one of the best items he's ever created.

Smiling from self satisfaction his eyes once again burned recalling that the brat had a Sapphire.

" I can make a better creation using that "

He thought while grabbing the cloak and climbing up the stairs.
