MMORPG: Rebirth of the Shadow Mage

The Holy church was a religious organization spread across the Fragmental world. Its origin was from the holy empire which should be discovered later in the game.

The holy church had the most power only slightly above the Corruption cult. The Corruption cult was basically a side player could choose upon reaching a certain level. Once one has chosen the side he will be hostile to all the creatures on the other side.

He will not be able to have a dialogue with NPCs and will probably be hunted by the Holy Empire's military.

All the races start on the holy side, but that's because monsters in the Corruption side are more powerful and shouldn't be fought against early in the game.

Passing through the streets I walked into multiple inns, but was kicked out.

' That's a bit racist '

I mumbled under my breath walking out of another inn. I really didn't want to do this, but I had to wait till the night outside. When the sun was right above my head I felt the stare aimed at my back disappear and was honestly a bit disappointed.

" So, no communication? "

I bitterly smiled. I thought that the Stalker would get bored and come out for a talk, but it seems he just left.

On the other hand it's better, because I had to somehow get rid of him. Imagine someone seeing me rob a Holy church. How much money would one make from simply telling about how I look?

I still wasn't sure if the Stalker was the strongest Lightning mage, but if it was her it wouldn't be a huge problem, because she doesn't act like that. From what I've heard, if she deems my action incorrect she would rather fight than snitch.

She has a righteous yet silly personality. Since I could only see her from the internet I didn't know the truth which was honestly bothering me. Since I regressed I knew almost everything and her being an unknown variable which could become a strong enemy or ally on my way to become the strongest player.

' I don't like this '

I thought while slightly clenching my fist. Few minutes were spent organizing my thoughts and after that I went to explore the city. I had a certain place to visit...

Walking through the houses I still felt some players looking at Fenrir, but the quantity of gazes was lower.

In the distance I saw an old building with rusty metal doors barely holding on their hinges. The house was completely made out of wood.

Coming closer I touched its wall and felt as if something was repelling me.

" It's him "

I inaudibly murmured. One of the best blacksmiths across the South Empire, Kilgros was living here after his retirement. One player has a chance to interact with the blacksmith and bring him any kind of Sapphire to get his favor.

I, of course, was prepared. While I sold all the stuff I found in the dungeon I left one Dark Sapphire untouched.

Slightly nervous I walked up to the front door and pressed my fist against its hard surface.

Knock... Knock...

The sound of someone knocking woke up an old man who was peacefully sleeping on the sofa... upside down. His legs were slightly raised in the air while his body was almost on the ground. Grumbling under his nose he was already thinking how to punish his sleep disturber.

Slamming the door open the dwarf almost threw them off the hinges only confirming that he's the person I was looking for.

" Hello, my name is Leo and I'd like to make a deal with you "

Before Kilgros could speak I quickly stated my intention. From his appearance I noticed he was just sleeping and his mood might be grumpy.

' It's better not to waste his time '

I thought while hoping for the Dwarf to calm down and at least listen to my offer.

Thankfully my prayers were answered.

" Go on.. "

Still with an annoyed expression Kilgros spoke with his raspy voice. The youngling before him was surprisingly interesting considering that it takes a great mental strength to see through the illusion of the almost abandoned house and come for a talk.

Me, a literal dumbass, didn't know anything and thought that the dwarf prefers this lifestyle.

" I have a Sapphire and want to request a certain cloak to be made "

I started by revealing my wild card instantly. I didn't want Kilgros to lose interest and close the door right at my face. Fortunately I was correct as soon as I mentioned Sapphire his eyes slightly widened and he took a deep breath.

' Bingo '

I thought while a smile started blooming on my face.

For a blacksmith like Kilgros, even working with material he hasn't touched before is worth a lot more than money and luckily for me I will not have to waste my money.

Gesturing for me to come inside I noticed Kilgros eyes shining. Sighing from relief I whistled for Fenrir to come out, since I didn't know the mood of the dwarf I didn't want to ruin his mood further.

Upon the whistle my familiar emerged from the bushes slightly startling the dwarf.

" Is.. that a… familiar? "

He stuttered, but managed to create a sentence.

Nodding my head I questioned if the Dwarf is allergic to fur, but soon I saw him literally leap at Fenrir.

His short arms quickly got hold of Fenrir's neck and started measuring his every body part.

" 17 millimeters wide... 20 cent.... "

He was mumbling under his nose while me and Fenrir were still stunned by his sudden behavior. Fenrir's eyes immediately darted towards me asking for assistance, but I could only wish for him to hold strong, I didn't want to ruin his mood.

Kilgros is known for his quick mood changing personality, one moment he could be laughing and the other spitting flames of rage. Back in his days he was called the Smith of Emotions, since his every creation represented a different emotion.
