Perspective: Third-Person Past Tense
The forge roared with life. Flames danced wildly in the hearth, their heat licking at the air as Warzheil worked tirelessly. His hammer struck steel in a steady rhythm, each strike ringing out like a heartbeat. Sparks flew with every blow, illuminating the dim workshop in bursts of orange light.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WLBMPaDIw
Ronin leaned against a nearby workbench, his gaze flicking between the glowing embers and the weapons lining the walls. The air smelled of burning coal and hot metal—a sharp, acrid scent that clung to everything.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFannVMOlJR
Ronin watched the flames for a moment, then asked, “How many kinds of people have you seen in your travels, Warzheil?”110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSgtkMjl7OQ
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOT5LhoOK0
Warzheil paused mid-strike, resting his hammer on the glowing blade. His brow furrowed as he considered the question. “Well,” he began slowly, “I know of five sentient species that went extinct across the continent. Some say they fled to forbidden lands.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGs5YNztwIT
“Five extinct?” Ronin frowned. “And that’s not counting the ones still around or those we don’t even know about? This world is insane.” He shook his head, his mind racing at the possibilities. “It’s like some cosmic meeting ground for every race imaginable.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFt17HIbs4P
Warzheil chuckled softly and set his hammer aside. He moved to a rack of weapons and selected a dagger. Its blade glowed faintly with runes etched in an unfamiliar language. “Here,” he said, holding it out to Ronin. “Take this and give it a try.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhR6x5uZxVL
Ronin reached out hesitantly. The moment the dagger entered his barrier, the glowing runes vanished.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGG2mhRFyra
“Tch,” Warzheil muttered, pulling the dagger back. The runes reappeared instantly as it left Ronin’s field. “Your barrier suppresses them—it doesn’t erase them permanently.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp350I0Uh9i
Ronin studied the dagger with narrowed eyes. “So… runes aren’t like regular mana?”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXT3tU6zKqQ
“Exactly,” Warzheil said, his tone shifting into that of a teacher. “Runes are coordinates—patterns that summon specific forms of mana to precise locations when activated.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpSjSoYcvk
The forge crackled as silence settled between them for a moment.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGJ4UtZMDt
“Well,” Warzheil said finally, breaking the quiet as he gestured toward Ronin. “Enough chit-chat. Where’s your spear? Don’t you want it fixed? I can manage that much.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNvNfyOxSR
Ronin summoned his spear with a flick of his hand. The weapon materialized before him in an instant, its surface gleaming faintly in the firelight.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3xlqj32C5
Warzheil let out a low whistle as he examined it closely. “How does that work?” he asked, his eyes gleaming with curiosity.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡle51ZTh1mS
“It started in your forest forge…” Ronin began, recounting how the strange ‘T’ symbol began appearing on anything he focused on and how it eventually led to dimension pockets linked to his left eye.
“So,” Warzheil summarized thoughtfully, stroking his beard, “you can store and summon any object marked with this peculiar ‘T’ stigma?”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCH0N2JPxXd
“Pretty much,” Ronin replied.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDZUK8cHp0
Without warning, Warzheil handed him the dagger again. “Try looking at this.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1V0vie4Xw
Ronin did as instructed but frowned when nothing happened. “Strange—the symbol didn’t appear.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYVKjOuMLE
Warzheil grinned knowingly and snatched the dagger from Ronin’s hand with deliberate motion. He swung it lightly through the air before holding it out again. “Here—consider this dagger my gift to you. A token of our friendship.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyejbMHLQwT
Ronin raised an eyebrow but as his hand reach out to take the dagger and thought of it as his own possession, the ‘T’ symbol etched itself onto its surface without hesitation.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMBoUhOziA
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETnU9AGJto
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDyojSwYZw
“There!” Warzheil said his voice echoing his genius as he takes the dagger back and examines it.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDo0Q3cWKJK
Ronin smiles as He focused on the dagger—and in an instant, it teleported from Warzheil’s hand into his own Warzheil looks at his hands and then at the dagger in ronin’s hand.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPtpNdeTDa
His eyes widened, “Impossible.”110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzLeztNYrx
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡer2h8XUJgK
“I know, I was very excited at first too.” Ronin says110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdp30ZPHgJv
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkT1Zt3iELe
Ronin stiffened slightly at his words but said nothing as Warzheil continued enthusiastically: “Lad, Do you understand? You just warped space without divine authority or mana! If I didn’t know better, I’d think you were bending reality itself with sheer thought alone.” He paused briefly before adding in awe: “It’s almost like… your thoughts shape space.”110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4tJYE1r3K
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfXk4wSCKD
“There was definitely no mana fluctuations. I think we will need to study your powers more than I thought.” Warzheil says110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFeJP1TZOiN
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEe8o6fjMEf
“lets try it again so you can see it again.” Ronin says110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7hRFW6awh
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBa2UHAMQW
He summons his mask. “Except the spear, and the suit, this is also a gadget from Earth”110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjAvskzET5
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnJdsJXwMM
“It seem worn out.” Warzheil says110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKJIu0yb1K
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTn4MMjNuz
“Because It is, there are cracks on its visor glass. Let me show you something. Hey Behemoth! Activate.” Ronin says, the internals of the mask light up before dying out.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2gZtYxmne
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhpKKlZlE3
“Oh no, the storage slot is damaged! my music list and Behemoth are gone, the battery is dead too.” Ronin says to Warzheil who understands nothing.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAaUEKzwer
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkORyBDaQO
“Is this mask’s name behemoth?” Warzheil asks110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtHEM8S2pn
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2FbTJZK14
“Yeah, its an A.I.” Ronin replies110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkfILZr211
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhplPOWOLSb
“A.I.? the hell is that?” Warzheil asks110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkyQYjSrbXk
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfsQ7oyr27
“Yeah, it’s… a kind of spirit bound to the mask. It helps me, talks to me.” Ronin says110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgO4Pbpism6
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJLW9NcALo
“You sure you’re not just talking to yourself, lad?” Warzheil asks110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjf5pYPUwz
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9bLwI9Qh1
“Even if I want to tell you what it is, you wouldn’t understand.” He says as he stares at the mask, his symbol appears on it too.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBtjPhnF2o
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpk9R9R52aW
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvvG6bYvig
The pain in his head stings even more. But he Powers through it. He sees that the damaged parts gets fixed.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1bMxjuwus
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdY2c7bwv1h
“No way!, it fixes things?” Ronin yanks his mask away in disbelief as Warzheil gets closer to look.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhvhQ43BdU
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxz5DFpPr36
“Now watch this. Behemoth Activate!” Ronin says, the narrow spartan helmet shaped visor covered in glass glows red, an interface activating. But that’s it.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFO9W7Xd00y
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuJajpTWdy
“That’s strange.” He says as he puts his mask on.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNeCgVl33z
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIp6Gz3Nr4
“Calibrating to new conditions?” Ronin reads the interface.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DJXWi2fW3
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSE6ri1diZ
“The mask changed!” Warzheil says, running his hand in his beard with curiosity.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdZX7P7we2
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacKStmugwY
“You put it on too.” Ronin says putting the mask on Warzheil’s face, on which Warzheil snatches the Mask away from him.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYjy2LFU0C
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7uH6C4LJX
“In all the heavens what am I even looking at!” he yells as he takes the mask off and puts it on again.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHy9lwSwUTR
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NGMdrWA6f
“It’s the technology of earth.” Ronin says110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFcdkFV3sW
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoK59CwUDpV
“How is this possible? Are you sure you are not from the World of Gods?” He retorts returning the mask to Ronin who puts it back in his dimensional storage.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8vyEnixGu
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIf6j5d4ezq
“Lad, I am sure of it. You are the God Drax called. What else do they have on earth?” he asks110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbmK4MiTAO
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZA1eQS98l
Just as Warzheil started questioning about Earth. An absurd thought crossed his mind as he stared at Warzheil intently.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HT6RQSJEk
“Why are you looking at me like that?” Warzheil asked suspiciously.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGiyewi8Q9l
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1GWIXPaYN
Ronin returns a grunt as a reply and before he could answer, a sharp pain shot through his head—a searing agony that felt like his skull was being fried and torn apart simultaneously. His vision blurred as blood vessels burst in his eyes. He stumbled backward into a table for support; its edge cracked under his weight.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMeltcsrI9
“R-Ronin!” Warzheil shouted in alarm. He pulled a bag of cereals out from his dimensional pocket and thrust it into Ronin’s hands. “Here—absorb this! Quickly!”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDurKffk5G
Ronin clutched the bag weakly and absorbed its energy into his barrier. His body began to heal instantly—but the pain in his head lingered like fresh embers burning under his skin.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAaWwTdV5v
“Damn it…” Ronin groaned through gritted teeth as he massaged his temple with one hand and struggled to stand upright. "My head feels like it’s been put through a meat grinder."
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡac8xuCQFZo
Warzheil glared at him with equal parts frustration and concern. “Don’t tell me—you tried putting your symbol on me?”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghrPvpRxBz
“I had to try it you know.” Ronin admitted sheepishly.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ug9dIT1mv
Warzheil let out a long sigh before shaking his head. “You fool! Even I thought about testing that theory—but clearly there are limits to your powers.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95QijVjFiW
“This isn’t new,” Ronin said quietly, still rubbing his temples. "That pull in my mind has been there ever since I got these abilities… but now there’s recoil too." His voice dropped further as he added grimly: "It started during the fight with Jortheus."
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLVc9lsElv
Warzheil hummed thoughtfully before nodding toward the empty bag at Ronin’s feet. "Even after absorbing enough food to feed a family for a week… your headache hasn’t gone away." His expression darkened as he continued solemnly: "Which means if you overuse your barrier—or worse—try turning people into possessions…"
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGGrTsQYnl
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKcNaHscQ2
"My brain might go boom," Ronin finished grimly.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDbqitxADT
Warzheil leaned back in his chair with a wry smile tugging at his lips despite himself. "Well," he said after a moment's pause, "at least now we know you're not invincible."
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6k4DZqLShq
"What’s so funny about that?" Ronin snapped irritably.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4s62XbpDZ
"When we first met," Warzheil said with a chuckle, "I thought you were immune to everything—able to absorb energy endlessly… heal instantly… unaffected by any power thrown at you." His grin widened slightly as he added teasingly: "But seeing you have limits? It’s almost reassuring."
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORsdjlBvF9
He sobered quickly though and looked Ronin straight in the eye. "Still… knowing what you're capable of—and what you're supposed to become—it’s hard to believe you're meant to be Drax's God."
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbO6Rxxpc9
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgZJP8ycoE
“It’s like your body is a walking fortress,” Warzheil said without looking up, “but your mind… it’s made of glass.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIETEV557a
Ronin smirked faintly through the lingering pain in his head. “God, huh?... By the way, did you tell them?” His voice was steady, but there was an edge to it.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrnvz2TOoI
Warzheil hesitated. His hand froze mid-motion before he turned slightly away. “I didn’t tell Gloria yet,” he admitted quietly. “Sil said she would handle it. And don’t worry—I didn’t mention the summoning ritual.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5reKBISbSB
Ronin’s gaze hardened. “That’s best for now,” he said firmly. “If she found out what happened… she’d either go after Zamba and get herself killed, challenge Ava and make an enemy of the Holy Kingdom, or try to kill me—or you.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNty9tcVUD
Warzheil exhaled sharply, his grip tightening on the spear as he turned it over in his hands. “I didn’t think that far ahead,” he muttered. “Thank the ancients I kept my mouth shut. But that kid… she’ll figure something out sooner or later.” He paused before adding hesitantly, “Are you sure you’ll be able to handle it?”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OZT1IizyU
Ronin nodded slowly, his expression unreadable. “I’ll manage somehow,” he said after a moment. His voice carried a solemn weight. “For now… let’s leave it to fate. Things will be better for her if we keep her in the dark.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNM5p0g6V7
A heavy silence settled between them. Warzheil grabbed Ronin’s spear and extended it into its full form with a sharp click. He began taking measurements with quick precision, his hands shifting between tools like clockwork.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ161YsCWUSb
“These are my surface gauges,” Warzheil explained as he worked. “I use them to measure curves and dimensions down to the smallest detail.” He gestured toward the spear’s midsection. “I’ll craft a fitting part for this area—just watch.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jGZZyV0Zk
Ronin stepped closer and pointed to a section beneath the spiked tip of the spear. “This part runs from its center all the way down to about one-sixth of its length.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwb5T88Zs7r
Warzheil frowned slightly as he examined the area Ronin indicated. “You might be right,” he said thoughtfully. His fingers traced over the surface before he added, “It feels different—like there’s some kind of mechanism generating heat at the tip.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONE7U1aR4p
“Not mechanical,” Ronin corrected him. “It’s nuclear.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11aiKeAWMW
Warzheil stopped cold, turning to face Ronin fully. “Nuclear?” he repeated slowly.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyaqhp48Jb
“It’s a power source derived from the sun,” Ronin explained simply, pointing upward.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsE69VYhkhC
Warzheil’s eyes widened in realization. “Ah! I always thought Earth’s craftsmen were amateurs for creating such fragile weapons—but now it makes sense.” He tapped the spear lightly with his knuckle. “It’s light enough for an assassin to carry, lethal enough to destroy anything in its path… and it doesn’t fade even inside your barrier.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxE3ArosJzj
Ronin nodded thoughtfully. “Now that you mention it—it didn’t dim in my barrier,” he said speculatively. “Maybe because it was built using valid protocols?”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RR5RPFkQZ
Warzheil clenched his fist suddenly, his eyes gleaming with excitement. “Can I open that power source? If I can study it, I might be able to create new weapons for you.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYTwOhLhzm
“No.” Ronin’s voice was sharp—almost commanding—as he stepped forward. “Not without a nuclear suit.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uSCN8Z8jL
Warzheil blinked at him in confusion but said nothing.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnm6uCJ9DV
“Nuclear power is dangerous,” Ronin continued coldly. “It’ll make your body radioactive—and kill everyone around you, including yourself.” He leaned closer, his tone dropping lower as he added grimly, “That radiation won’t go away for thousands of years—it’ll turn everything around your corpse into barren wasteland.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ugnGJwtcD
Warzheil stared at him for a long moment before scoffing lightly and waving him off dismissively. “You’re exaggerating now.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBX3xqKggT
“I’m not.” Ronin’s gaze darkened further as he held Warzheil’s stare without flinching. “There are ways to fix that on Earth—but here? No chance.” His voice dropped into an icy calm as he finished firmly: “Don’t even touch that nuclear source.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQpKBBoFVE
Warzheil swallowed hard—his bravado faltering under Ronin’s unyielding tone—and nodded reluctantly. “…Got it,” he muttered quietly.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLySuAnnPi
The forge fell silent again except for the crackle of flames and the faint hum of tools being adjusted.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAgf1um3ss
“Ok, enough with sad talks, best distraction is when you hammer your thoughts down.” Warzheil says
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAU6OTL4xye
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquypckTjG1
“What are we going to do?” Ronin asks
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMmvSQPPqe
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2Lk2Ijaia
“First, let me teach you Rune craft……no that’s not an option, it would disappear anyway.” Warzheil linger, ”Still, just observe me, learning it won’t harm you.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8YetfaLeF
“Hmm, how do we make your weapons better?, Uru would be too heavy for a mana less.” Warzheil scratches his head in confusion
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4EKrWccSh
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRLrAinz32
“Can we overwrite runes? Or like, layer them?” Ronin asks
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VJZnKVGsa
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldQhHAsHFg
“Oh? How did you figure that out? yes, although rare, I have hear that at-most 2 Major elements or 4 minor can be layered on a weapon by an average smith.” Warzheil says
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSRcgiRvi1
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFDM3ocEnk
“By the way, I can do 3 major elements you know.” Warzheil says with a prideful grin.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxq88GPub3
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFz754gU5CM
“I see, but why only 2 or 3? Why not more?” Ronin asks
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovL6hEBwHZ
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspm8XK0ymq
“It ends up either messing the durability of the material on which its etched or makes the weapon heavier, which is not optimal for metals like Uru or Dark Uru which are absurdly heavy, its as if you were lifting a bunch of trees if you don’t have mana. And that’s why even I put only one minor enchantment of thunder on my hammer, since I have affinity with thunder, one of the rarest elements.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5T1FXNT0KX
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PGrUnRly0
“that’s amazing. The mechanism is so elaborate I can hardly believe it. A metal so dense.” Ronin say, Warzheil picks up the dagger he gave him.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX30V2mX4Zv
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOb3P7YT20q
“Anyway lad, try thinking that this dagger is not yours.” He says which confuses Ronin
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzgFyWQnNn
“Ok” ronin concentrates but nothing happens to the symbol.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppTfyXDFmK
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCytzMVOd6i
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38zKH8k1S2
“Hmm….? So the symbol doesn’t go away so simply.” Warzheil murmurs
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5WCwKHRLd
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS82gaBEJYp
He grabs a whetstone and rubs it over the symbol, but nothing happens.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLiAj85EXN
"Oh! I think I figured it out. Put your symbol on this whetstone..." Warzheil says, eyes lighting up with curiosity.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzQCBYlWne
Ronin does as instructed. Warzheil rubs the whetstone over the symbol again—and this time, the mark fades, confirming their theory.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9dtQDtC8C
Ronin, still examining the dagger, asks, "By the way, what is the ink made of that you use for runes?"
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ODr9OMDGl
Warzheil grins and gestures to a shelf cluttered with oddities. "Watch closely."
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPZm3xPWZx
He selects a glowing crystal filled with a swirling, strange liquid and places it into a heavy stone bowl. With a practiced hand, he cracks the crystal open, letting the liquid pool at the bottom. Warzheil then takes a small blade and pricks his finger, letting several drops of his blood fall into the bowl.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHJxMo6RoV
He picks up a stone pestle and begins to grind the crystal shards, blood, and liquid together in slow, steady circles—herbalist style. The mixture thickens, the fragments dissolving into the liquid until it becomes a dense, glittering ink of light red, almost pulsing with inner light.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNjH71zbAV
"Here," Warzheil says, dipping a fine-tipped engraving tool into the bowl. "This is what binds the rune to the metal. The crystal’s magic, the contractor’s blood, and the essence inside fuse together—makes the runes last, and makes them yours."
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIP7sFyhECs
He carefully engraves a rune atop the dagger’s blade, right over Ronin’s shimmering symbol. As the ink seeps into the metal, the rune glows, locking into place with a faint hum.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTg4jPneNh
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kv7lKwLNw
Ronin gripped the dagger, his brow furrowed in concentration. He tried summoning it without looking—nothing. Gaze fixed, the blade flickered into his grasp. When he summoned it by thought alone, pain spiked behind his eyes, leaving him dizzy and sick.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfmt7Agw5x
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCt6hOgaTi
Warzheil scratched his beard, summarizing their findings. “Your symbol—can’t be scrubbed off, unless you use a whetstone marked with the same sign. You can summon and store anything you claim, but not people. Now, let’s see how many runes we can stack on your mark.”110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9GghXnB86
He held out his hand. “I’ll need your blood. Catalyst.”110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9kQwSIrMe
Ronin winced, slicing his thumb and letting crimson drops fall into a vial.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ChGJAgV02
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyq5hFk2Ps
They worked side by side, Ronin mimicking Warzheil’s movements, picking up techniques with uncanny speed.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn26vhG9m91
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhp2fPKpscN
Warzheil got envious of how fast Ronin learn stuff, he learned the runes he taught to him while drawing them on the spot.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajhxMCYSTL

The spear now blazes with an even intense heat as ronin holds it away from his face110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGZSFIHjIp
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2okhsn1XG7
“Something like this was only thought to be possible in the Legends of Legendgod. I can’t believe it, I just made the first weapon of this world made of a Uru body, with otherworldly technology and 4 major and 2 minor enchantments.” Warzheil stumbles into the support of the table holding his head as his eyes flutter in disbelief, a strange curl creeps up his lips.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFPitX9gq1
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKHuT3rcim
“Not even the ancients could craft something like this. A technologically advanced weapon that rivals primordial weapons owned by the gods. This is world’s 1st Techmordial weapon.!” He yells out in a mix of disbelief and excitement.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0d2qHOoami
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFM7lv9IXp2
Ronin cannot meet the brightness of the tip of his own spear with his right eye so he looks at it with his left eye.

“Something this absurd must never be revealed to anyone Ronin. Put it away.” Warzheil says110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDPl3d9vZm

“I have the blade that the demon lord use to stab you.” Warzheil takes out the blade from his pocket “How about I make you another slicing spear? Just put your symbol on it”110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphiDDlcuGb
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjLKZG23uq
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVwc9ST297
Ronin is tempted to refuse but he too realises how lethal this spear has become. It was 3000 degrees Celsius as is, but now just holding it feels like I am holding a steel rod straight out of magmas of hell. Uru truly is the metal of myths, it’s not melting under the sheer temperature of the tip.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALgb4nxzW1
He etches his symbol on Ramoon blade as Warzheil held It up.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVu3SS58H8f

“You look tired, go rest. Tomorrow, a hunt team competition will be held, this can be a good chance to go and absorb some good things and get stronger. I felt some unwelcomed guests this morning in the market. Probably looking for you or me, if they follow you, you can get a nice excuse to take them out too.” Warzheil suggests110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDH6WM4T7Y

“Why do I feel like you are talking too smart ever since we got to this village?” Ronin asks with a heavy chuckle110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIozYiWeXsG
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEft8TSy1xq
“What the hell do you mean? I was always smart, but meeting you messed me up.” He passes the blame on Ronin110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd14RbEJTYf
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1VtMguqVi
“Sure.” Ronin says as he walks out of the forge and shuts the doors behind him.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5EVSgCBdrd
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1h8qDo8VuE
He takes the right and walks as thoughts swirl in his mind. He heard people whispering about Drax. “That sure spread like wild fire.” Ronin thinks110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOjE7nAyPD
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnQuthsGDZ
As Ronin neared the mansion with his shoulders slumped with tired demeanour, he sees Kade sitting under a tree—sad.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowN3oIUCan
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4e9OiAjwQ9
“Where were you all day long? Where is the Old man?” He asks upon seeing Ronin approach.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHZsqoqYRk
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡginhwIOZnr
“He is in his forge. Might be late.” Ronin says “Why the long face?”110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryr1nJs26J

“Oh…heard about Lord Drax. The news have already spread. But I am afraid Gloria is not faring well. She ran off to the cliff near her practice area.” He says110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTo6PE7R6Zk
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rQ0s20Y4I
“What?! You didn’t stop her? What if something happened to her?” Ronin says as he gets a jolt of uneasiness and his calm demeanour changes.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN08hGoSnOb
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQ5qM7k4NL
“Grandma Sil did go behind her…..” Kade says but stops mid-sentence seeing ronin had already blitz off, leaving a trial of dust behind him.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlW0HepvjJ
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWU3d1FrBxl
“Shit, I can’t have the daughter of my client die. Drax just had to pay me with this ‘God’ role, what a pain!” Ronin thinks as he runs through the twists and turns of the forest, forcing turns, shaking entire trees. Finally he arrives to the practice area, and slows down to a jog seeing Sil return with a face that has seen failure.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzsX6nIVqW
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qXsIuNID6
“Ronin! Just the person I needed. Kid, maybe you can soothe that child. Can you do it? She refuses to come back. Maybe someone her age can help her.” She asks with sad and expecting gaze.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuyNspLDSEA
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsQ7OMcOqG
“I will..try my best.” I say as I slowly jog away. I slow down, quietly approaching the edge of the cliff, as I emerge form the woods I squint my eyes.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpy5rI9ar9a
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fC5TVVjkc
The cliffside is breathtaking. The sky is ablaze with a fiery tapestry of oranges, reds, and purples, the setting sun painting the Kobe River with liquid gold. And there, beneath a Sprawling tree with perfectly spaced branches, sits Gloria, her head bowed, her shoulders slumped, curled enough to watch the sunset.
My footsteps are silent as I near her, but she senses my presence. She quickly wipes her face, putting her mask on again, and straightens her posture, as if bracing herself for the encounter.
“This is the most beautiful sunset I’ve ever seen,” I say, my voice soft, more a statement than a greeting. “Do you always come here?.”
“What do you want?” she asks, her voice flat, devoid of emotion.
“May I sit with you for a moment?”
“Be my guest please” her voice dripping with fake happiness, a painful pretence.
“This is such a beautiful place. It seems like the perfect spot to share thoughts, to… talk.”
“If you are here to offer pity, I don’t need it, especially from a mortal who only live a mere 100 years, who know nothing of loss.” she snaps, replacing her sweet words just early her anger momentarily flaring.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPmdxT0i1p
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnR0leYrkI
” I knew about your father’s passing, I fought to protect his remains from being stolen too, But I hid it. Fearing it would upset you like it did.”
I lower myself to the ground, leaning back against the tree trunk. “So no, I am not here to pity you, Gloria.” I pause, choosing my next words carefully. “We all carry some sort of pain. Why do you think your pain is greater than that of any other being?”
She’s silent for a moment, her gaze fixed on the setting sun. Then, she speaks, her voice barely audible above the rustling leaves. “I thought you were a good and tough person.” The words are a raw, open wound, the pain seeping through her carefully constructed facade. “Turns out another ignorant human acting like he knows it all.”
“That’s not…” I start, but she cuts me off.
“You don’t understand! Non of you mortals do. You don’t know what it’s like to be alone, to crave a parent’s love, to train and fight for their approval, only to be discarded like trash. You don’t know what it feels like to be replaced by a some fake god.” Her voice cracks, the dam breaking, and tears stream down her face.
Her vulnerability shakes me, and for a moment, I’m at a loss for words.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOFKS4ZncU
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ohbrreCX8
“Did she figure out that I am her father’s God? No, she wouldn’t call me a mortal if she did.”110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0bdyfIqjJ
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUFkg8JU7w
“I had always tried my best to become powerful, so that I can gain affection of my father but he never paid heed to me. All I wanted was his love. I never got t experience the love of my mother, I grew up alone. He always trained me ruthlessly, put a divine power blocker on me. But I smiled through it, so that he would be proud of me.”110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRhEKDKgYl
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazAF9uQNIS
I brace myself and speak, my tone steady and sincere. “I do understand, Gloria. More than you think.”
Her head snaps toward me, her tear-streaked face a mixture of disbelief and anger. “How could you, a wild mortal orphan, possibly understand?”110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5WfPdKg4h
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzQd1qQSIN
“It must be nice having such strong father, huh?” I say, a sense of self pitying settles on me.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJu4Se2hqW

“Ronin, leave. I am not in mood to listen to useless wisdom.” She says curling back into her rigid form, tears dripping from under her mask with occasional sniffs.
I take a deep breath, gathering my thoughts. “Fine, to make you feel better, I will tell you a tale of a cursed man of death.” Gloria’s ears twitch.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhdgeS2dnY
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLQwzldBfl
“He was a child, had a family, better than most people.” A nostalgic sensation takes over me. “His grandfather, father and his mother worked very hard and became very rich. He had a younger brother and a baby sister too.”110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXDwf2ljoG
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL25WL3jvRi
Gloria is silent. The wind blows, leaves rustle. The river’s flow clash.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0gJ59GeV7
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FG10zkA0l
“Then, Life happened. Slowly, the kid saw his parents disappear, killed in accident, not even a hair to be found. Then his younger brother died of slow poisoning at age of 7.” Ronin said110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJiEZC8ykD
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJCldyu3QE
“That doesn’t sound like a normal death.” Gloria whispers as her sobbing slows down.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFLKepIblH
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIRVNoZvc5
“The kid had to grow up, he did all he could so that fate couldn’t step on his family anymore. His grandfather taught him how to survive, how to fight. But his will took a hit when the only pillar holding him together, his grandfather disappeared too. Leaving him and his baby sister, who was only one at that time, alone.”110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEktTxD9yD
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1yK3EE4rr
“…..” Gloria is silent.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0PqFbdMuP
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPl3BafAuF
Ronin continue, his voice steady.
I pause, the memories clawing at me. “The man was seventeen, When his grandfather disappeared without a trace. But By then, He was juggling Academics and part-time jobs to provide for her. Finally he managed to graduate early, earning recognition as a genius in his field.” Ronin says, on which Gloria lets out a sigh of relief.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIYRb733X9
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegDf4SeJMi
He continues “But just when he thought he was finally moving forward, everything was torn away again.”110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2xHMKUWA7
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1FpOFxF5d
Gloria turns her head slightly towards me, I can see her doing so from edge of my eyes as I gaze at the beautiful scene of sunset in front of me.
I clench my fists, the weight of those days pressing down. “A shady group abducted his sister.”110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCqZJp6jeI
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3P68nA2oS
“No…” Gloria exhales in a whisper.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyfcuJh66v
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UqCcrM1xW
“He sold everything, His inheritance and his parent’s home, to find her. After six desperate days, he was approached by an organization—the Shadow Company. They promised to help him find her if he worked for them, as if they knew his skills before hand. Desperate, He agreed, becoming their tool of slaughter. For twenty-one years, He worked in the shadows, earning the name ‘Ronin, the Man of Death.’ But in all that time, He never stopped searching for Ava.” Ronin says110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2dybV8m0m
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2GuonHhHOK
“This…is your story?” gloria says in a low voice as she realises. Looking at Ronin with pity under her mask.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOu9qGVTQme
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3we8vpWbe
Ronin continue. “Eventually, I learned the truth. The same organization that employed me had taken her, twisted her into someone I barely recognized. They told her lies, made her believe I was the one who sold her out.”110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65CQURM3bA
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvT4dVpE8vX
“That’s so cruel. How did you get through it then?” Gloria saws in a sobbing voice. She is such an emotional person.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6xWMvfLMu
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGg20t7UoI
“How? I destroyed the source of my suffering, I destroyed the Shadow Company, piece by piece killing even relatives involved with the downfall of my family, but it was too late. She hated me. And still, I searched for her, even after everything.”
Silence falls between us, broken only by the rustling of leaves and the distant murmur of the river. Gloria’s voice trembles as she whispers, “I… I am so sorry. I am so ashamed of myself, judging you without knowing… anything.”
Ronin offer her a small, reassuring smile. “It’s okay, Gloria. We’ve all made mistakes. What matters is that we learn from them.”
She nods, wiping her tears with trembling hands on her chin. For the first time, her mask seems to slip away completely, revealing the person beneath the bitterness and anger.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPtyGkIju0
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjN4i3yQcY
“Like it thought, you are very beautiful Gloria. ” He say mesmerised by her beauty, no wonder she is a goddess.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlUVNSULJd
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOmD2A0vAp
She puts her hand on her face, realising her mask had slipped off. she immediately puts her mask on.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVn2ejXK2l1
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOnymFMLoj
He smiled softly. “You really are beautiful, Gloria.”110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDlDlddjKb
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI81I4cCzGd
She gasped, quickly covering her face as a blush crept down her neck and her ears glowed faintly.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDTDkTt062
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPuEpg91p91
“I am sure your father loved you dearly. Gloria” he say, which seems to calm her.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2h65eWknY

“You really think he loved me?” She asks110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGUBHLxHVW

“Who knows? Maybe you will see the results of his hard work in near future.” Ronin say assuring her with a smile.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcd3BQzH4MC
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfr5EMlDJYJ
Ronin’s cheeks hurt with all the smiling, so he relaxes his face turning back into the usual indifferent expression.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFYNuvUZG7
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQLJuZKy7T
“It almost hurts to smile, after so long. Don’t let yourself forget how.”110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bQR8yjNgR
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqDzMT87aM
“But some things don’t match up.” Gloria asks110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsAmcBCfcz
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbL6Yyh4Swm
Ronin turns around and grunts in question “hmm?”110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjkWsA0RMl
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡez9RMhStVa
“You said you worked for 21 years, after being 17 years old. Your age doesn’t match up” Gloria says110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3sTfGsdPaB
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxA85aqLpgf
Ronin puts up a poker face but his headache just got worse.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PcEPhpc1e
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGttrVzjOYc
He forced a laugh. “Guess I lost track of the years. My head’s a mess—got anything for a headache?”110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ihT2m4KIC
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdmR2q254j

110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZo2rRvUYp
They talked as the sun dipped below the horizon, sharing stories and dreams until twilight painted the world in muted colors. By the time Ronin returned to his room, he felt a fragile sense of hope stirring in his chest.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylPLjnZen0
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJ4ctf5uh6
In his dream, he feel himself fleeting again. In the same black space, but this time able to see a white laminate of his barrier around himself.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4xGY3q8Ip
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBC75w2K3f
He tries to touch it.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCN2psKO1ls
It wobbles ever so slightly becoming stable. It feels like a part of him, unlike when he uses it passively.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSELVtXPaoj
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96jOuUYsnZ
what’s even more uncomfortable is the fact that he can think this clearly even though he realizes that this is a dream. This only happened to him 4 times during his time on Earth.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNtKArAP3G
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dqu7JIDgI
Though of Frey’s well-being crosses his mind. Did she get caught and executed? Nah, there is no way she will go down easy. He thinks110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6dFOBv7cz
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIDNEUXn1M
he continues to float. Bored, he tries some of his theories, imagines a plane, and it appears. An imaginary green grass land with a dim atmosphere.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrBPHD3pUW
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5wTdmZriR
It felt like he was wandering a land conjured from memory and longing, unreal yet vivid.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFjzAECLZg
He tries to wake up, and surely he does.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6Y4rBi3NP

Looking at the moon outside the window it seems like its middle of night.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IKclYHiTu
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1h5taRZIHI
So he returns to his mind realm again.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnVi4x2Bmt
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcl9bbi0A6
This time he tries to control his barrier. As if sucking air from a soup bubble to reduce its size. And succeeds, it feels so easy that he wakes up again and tries it, but it doesn’t work. He tries all night and finally manages to only feel his barrier after sacrificing his sleep.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzNIjqDkcy
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUI7vlklxy
His heavy mind gives up and he falls on the bed and sleeps.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoN8KvVNzy
