was left with no choice but to take a
less direct route a te the entrance to
the forge of flames a two-headed Hound
awaited a formidable Advanced magical
Beast far stronger than typical ones
classifying it as a small Elite monster
why each knew he was no match for it
thankfully there were multiple paths
leading to the weapon repository two of
which lay on the south and north sides
of the volcano one leading directly to
the armor storage room and the other to
the volcano's Forge y icho had a clear
Target he aimed for the northern
entrance following the strategies from
his past life he quickly located the
entrance to the weapon repository the
passage was a long dark tunnel and icho
recalled that there were no monsters
here thus he bold proceeded to the
tunnels end as visibility gradually
increased he beheld a colossal Forge
molten lava flowed ceaselessly within
upon entering he was immediately met
with a wave of heat within moments beads
of sweat began to form on his forehead
it was just as hot as he remembered
scanning the surroundings he sought the
weapon forged from Violet gold hoping to
find it after a thorough search he
discovered a dwarf statue and in its
grasp was a one-handed sword rad a
resplendant violet gold Sheen adorned
with intricate patterns he had found it
one-handed sword with intermediate Runes
of violet gold type weapon quality epic
purple description this weapon is forged
from Violet gold exceptionally resilient
and imbued with intermediate sharpness
runes it measures 2' 6 in in length and
weighs 25 lb crafted by the legendary
blacksmith hobit chapter 29 the forge of
flames upon grasping the weapon weapon
icho stumbled forward the sword crashing
heavily to the ground shattering the
stones beneath him wo this 25lb sword
lives up to its reputation it was high
time he strengthened his physique or
wielding such a weapon would prove
difficult why icho stowed The Violet
gold sword in his backpack he could
manage its weight but wielding it in
battle was another matter entirely he
understood that unless he trained to
maximize his strength and Constitution
within the game he could not expect this
sword to perform to its potential indeed
players could enhance their Physique in
game but there was a limit to such
improvements unless one joined a
military school and consumed potions
that lifted the limits of the physical
body he could not rely on the Violet
gold sword with that in mind he decided
to search the weapon repository for a
steel sword and perhaps procure some
leather armor y ichio exited the forge
into the main hall where a dazzling
array of weapons adorned the walls at
least 30 in total among them over 30
were of white and Green Quality while
only four or five were blue y icho
selected one blue quality steel sword
leaving the rest untouched it was not
that he did not wish to take all the
weapons but rather that their weight was
prohibitive given his current physique
carrying multiple swords would render
him a mobile for armor he opted for
lightweight leather gear the steel armor
was far too heavy even to wear he
avoided the iron Hammers and other heavy
items for the same reason the weapon
repository consisted solely of these
four rooms the armor storage rooms on
either side the weapon display Hall at
the center and finally the forgey ichio
removed his coar cloth garments donning
the exquisitely crafted leather armor
the defensive capabilities and comfort
of this leather armor far surpassed
those of typical player made gear it
allowed for full mobility and was
remarkably lightweight and aesthetically
pleasing most importantly all these
items were of blue quality what did this
signify in the game the quality of a
weapon was not determined solely by its
damage and level but rather by its
excellence and Perfection within its
