Ichiro_Fumito

Ichiro smiled widely as he saw exactly what Grim had described held in his hand. He then walked back and showed the blade to Grim.

Item Name: weder Dorn

enhancement: (will edit this post)

Ichiro realized the sword was an utter failure. He then reheated his forge and once again attempted to create the blade grim wanted.

Ichiro heated the metal in his forge and and created an ingot from it. He then hammered it into a blade shape and attempted to create the shape grim wanted.

"Well you helped me out earlier so don't worry about it this time", Ichiro said walking to the back of his shop. "Any more specifics of the blade you have in mined?" Ichiro asked since he was about to try to make it.

"No thats not what I meant by that. I meant for the blade to look that good it should be at or over uncommon level which would make it have an ability. Thats a good thing, it just may take time" Ichiro explained.

"Yeah I can try to make that. I'd say it probably needs to at least needs to be uncommon with that shape. So ill try to make you a blade uncommon or up like this" Ichiro said. "It may take a few days though" he said.

Ichiro was working in his Smithing shop at midday as he heard someone enter. "Hello, welcome to The Black Anvil, how may I help you?" Ichiro said as he looked for the person whom entered. He then saw a hooded man siting on one of the benches in the shop. "Can I help you with anything?" Ichiro asked. The man was silent for a moment, almost as if he was sizing Ichiro up. "Very well" the man said after a time. "You may have what it takes indeed." he said. Ichiro looked at him obviously confused. The man stood up and walked to the door. "Are you leaving?" Ichiro said confused. The man opened the door stepped out and before closing it said, "If you might be interested in joining a guild that fights to protect those in trouble, help clear the game, and sacrifice what is necessary for what is right, then come to top of the highest mountain in floor 4 and pass the trial." After saying this he left, letting the door close behind him. Ichiro didn't know what to do at first, thinking it might be a pk trap. However after thinking about it a while, a solo player can only do so much, and a guild all working for whats right would be worth risking life and limb to join. Ichiro had decided he would go, so he closed the shop early and made his way to floor four. Ichiro began to make his way toward the mountain the man mentioned. After a while of walking Ichiro thought he saw something in the distance. As he moved closer Ichiro saw it was...

Ichiro Health: 17/17

~combat die roll~

1-4: The mountain

5-8: a pack of two Dire Wolves

9-10 : a pack of three Dire Wolves

Ichiro thought for a moment, "Yeah sure, I'll try my best. It may be a while before I can forge it though." (I'm really sorry about taking so long by the way) "So what was the sword like?" Ichiro asked.

Ichiro pounded out the shape of a kite shield, but realized it was not going to turn out well. Ah well he said to himself and placed the Bad Iron Kite-shield into his inventory. "Ill try to salvage the materiel from it later."

"I think I'm gonna try to to make a better shield for myself." By the way if there's anything you need feel free to ask. Ichiro walked to the back of his shop. Ichiro reheated his forge and placed some iron ore inside. Ichiro then formed an iron ingot and placed it onto the anvil. Ichiro then began to hammer the metal, trying to make a kite shield he could wield in one hand.

(Yeah sure I can do that) Ichiro asks, "You have to have a high enough skill to use a katana?" Ichiro walks to one of the benches and sets down for a moment.

Ichiro looked at his new Iron War Hammer and smiled. "I'm glad I was able to make a good weapon for myself" Ichiro said grinning. He then switched out his current weapon for the Iron War Hammer.

Item Name: Iron War Hammer

Description: A sturdy War Hammer that looks like a more sinister version of a blacksmith's hammer.

"That is good," Ichiro commented as he opened his inventory to check his mats. "I think I'm gonna try to to make my first weapon. By the way if there's anything you need feel free to ask. We can probably work something out." Ichiro said as he walked to the back of his shop. Ichiro heated his forge and placed some iron ore inside. Ichiro then formed an iron ingot and placed it onto the anvil. Ichiro then began to hammer the metal, trying to make a war hammer he could wield in one hand.

"Yeah I just started last night" Ichiro commented. "I haven't even made anything in here yet,after I set it up I went to sleep. I don't have much experience being selling the weapons and armor I make, though I do have experience as a shop owner. So hopefully it will be close enough to be easy to get used to." Ichiro said.

"Hello and welcome" A voice said from the back of the shop. "I'll be out in just a moment. Still setting up the shop since it just opened." The voice commented. After a few moments Ichiro emerges from the back of his shop moving some things around. Ichiro set the items down on the counter and turned toward the visitor. "Hello welcome to- ah Yo whats up grim" Ichiro spoke.

Ichiro opened his new shop. It was a small 2 room building. The front had weapon racks, armor manikins, and display cases. There were two benches inside on either side of the door for customer seating. The counter had a piece of wood that would rotate to allow the shop owner into the back of the shop. The back of the shop contained all that was necessary to create, maintain, and upgrade metal weapons and armor. Ichiro smiled at the thought that he could finally begin his career as well as work toward earning his title. Ichiro the Hammer. Ichiro named the shop after the old smithing workstation he had used back before SAO. Lastly he etched his shop's motto into the shop sign. "Welcome to the black anvil. This is the anvil, and I am the hammer."

Ichiro approched Grim and spoke, "Good work man." Ichiro walked back to the lakes edge. "What did you see down there? " Ichiro questioned.

Ichiro rushed again at the Gillmen with his blade drawn. He used a large rock in the area to vault into the air and attack from above. Ichiro missed the Gillmen compleatly.

The Gillmen rushed at Ichiro and attacked him. Ichiro was not expecting such a fast retaliation and tried to raise his shield in time. The gullimen was charging with all its strength. Ichiro managed to get his shield up and blocked the attack.

Ichiro saw the enemy and understands the situation. Ichiro rushes at the Gillmen,using the water on his blade to try and reflect the sun into the gillimen's eyes to temporarily blind it. Ichiro then jumps and slashes at it with his blade. Ichiro manages to get a critical strike.

Ichiro : 15/15

Gillmen : 3/7

Ichiro felt a panic arise as he rushed the edge of the lake and dived in with his sword and shield ready. He swam toward where Grim was pulled down.

Ichiro hears the splash and smiles. Knowing what it feels like to do what you love again. Having finally regained the art of smiting again he knew how wonderful it felt. Ichiro remained on lookout waiting to see if anything would approach. After hearing the yell he turned toward grim and made his way to where he was.

Ichiro manages takes care not to make the blade too thick or thin. He feels of the sword once it is done and realizes the sword is of a higher quality than the other two. Ichiro shows this to the blacksmith. The blacksmith smiles once he sees the better sword. "You have done fine work here. I will allow you to train with me until you understand the basic methods of smiting" Ichiro was ecstatic and thanked the man. Ichiro trained with him until sunrise the next day. After completing his training he walked out of the building and toward an inn to rest. Ichiro smiled as he realized he was finally a blacksmith, and one step closer to becoming a grandmaster blacksmith and also earning his title as Ichiro the Hammer.

Ichiro takes care not to make the blade to thin. However he accidentally makes the blade too thick. Upon testing the sword it is obviously too heavy to make a good sword. Knowing he had 3 more ore, he felt a slight panic arise inside him. He breathed in and out for a few seconds before continuing. Ichiro reheated the forge and placed the ore inside. After melting it into an ingot he placed it on the anvil. With careful swings he tries to make a good sword.

1-5 : The attempt fails

6-10 The attempt succeeds

Ichiro takes care not to make the blade to thick or thin, and manages to create a good sword. Ichiro clenches his fist in glee at the blade he created. He then places it down on the floor beside him and tries to make another. Knowing he had 4 more ore, he tried again. Ichiro reheated the forge and placed the ore inside. After melting it into an ingot he placed it on the anvil. With careful swings he tries to make a good sword.
