Asen

He opened his mouth to answer that but no words came out of his mouth so he just shook his head. "Nothing, just dozing off I guess." He excused himself as his crimson red eyes drifts to the side, though he knows all too well that there's something wrong with him. Though when one goes through as much corruption as him and as much blood on his blade it wouldn't be much of a surprised if he's mentally unstable. Frankly he's not that unstable, and retains a piece of his humanity. He shifts a bit on the sand to get more comfortable as his eyes drift from sand dune to the next.

"What about you? I don't see too many players wandering around in this desert since its unbelievably hot around here than the other floors are and dry to top it off." He asked her curious as to why she was out here of all places as he gives her a glance from the corner of his eye. He can understand if it was a forest or even the frozen wasteland like the Fourth Floor. Though not too many people as noted before wander through here unless they have to.

Asen was having quite the luxury here facing off two opponents at the same time while the other Golems were simply watching kindly waiting their turn to have a shot at them. Which he honestly has no problem with that only that he's not alone here as he sees the girl that was fighting the solo Golem and was getting smacked around a bit. One of the two Golems that were onto him suddenly charged at him with its raised fist in the air as it attempts to smack Asen down to the ground. That didn't happen as Asen quickly jumped back just in time to watch the ice fist smash into the ground leaving a low rumble as he quickly runs up the creature's arm and leaps off from the Golem's shoulders towards the second one. The Ice Golem goes to swing upwards with its mighty fist, but Asen flips to side and goes to slice at the Golem only to miss its head by a few inches and winds up zipping past the creature's shoulders. So he has to flip again to land on his feet behind the two now before spinning around to face them.

"And neither do I." Asen replied to what she said to him about her not wanting to fight. Though he did not expect her to switch back to her bathing suit afterwards though his only response to that was cocking his brow at her one brow going up and the other going down. When she turns around and goes to dive in the oasis, Asen merely lets out a sigh as he simply takes a seat on the sand. He's not doing anything that's really important anyways. Plus seeing on how careless she was earlier and letting her guard down, he believes it might be best to just stick around temporarily at least.

At first for a few seconds his eyes were following the girl, but afterwards his eyes shift to look around the oasis. It's mostly made out of sand which is no surprised with little vegetation sprouting from the sand around the oasis. Least to say that there is some wild life going on around here. Of course, Asen doesn't really have any feels nor attachments to this type of stuff. Though he does value life over everything else, but as of right now he's just being lazy and sadly too broken in the heart to try.

Asen let's out a sigh as he was starting to see how quickly this place was getting to be. Most were lovers of course, and that is kind of bugging him for he begins to wonder if there is someone out there for him. He quickly dismisses that thought by shaking his head to clear it off. 'There is absolutely no way that'll ever happen. Everyone hates me anyways, so why bother?' He thought to himself rather gloomy purposely putting himself down to prevent him from wondering about such things. Still skating around the icy ring shaped like a heart as he's already making loop arounds since most of the activities here require a couple or is for a couple and that is something he can't do for it'll be pointless in his case. There's just too much sorrow and hatred for him to pursue such things as right now he purposely makes himself be disillusioned that him falling in love is impossible.

As if karma came around and kicked him in the rear end, he slips on the ice after making a mistake and winds up falling on his back on the cold ice beneath him. The ice cracks underneath him as he could feel something really icy cold and wet touching his face as he realized that the ice was starting to give way with him in it and the water from underneath was starting to slip through the cracks. "Holy crap that is cold!" He mumbled to himself as he winds up receiving the "Slippery Shoes" card and he rolls his eyes as he can't help but smirk. "Yeah, these are indeed slippery shoes." Still mumbling to himself as he pretty much carefully made his way on his hands and knees to get off the ring. When he turns around after standing up to his feet and takes off the skates he sees that the heart shaped skating ring has a crack right on the middle representing a broken heart. He can't help but feel that is how his heart is only that its a hundred times worse even now.

"Well I know that but there's really no end to stupidity either. Granted most just run away after threatening them once or twice but sometimes they get bold. But anyways..." He was willing to drop that subject as he was more interested on what they were discussing. Though to be honest he was a little disappointed on how little this guild suddenly got as almost like in no time the numbers were reduced to bare minimum. It's more like a trio now, and since he was actually just more interested in this group.

"There's no denying that, as there is pretty much always a competition between the Blacksmiths and Tailors. Alchemy would be the better profession since potions and such are a one time use so they'll be coming back to buy your potions and crystals. But that's just my opinion." Asen points out trying to give insight on the professions since he himself is a blacksmith and he's not all that great at the moment. He kind of cocked a brow at Mari when she said that she doesn't open up to anyone. Though he's the same way since he developed a stone wall around his emotions and doesn't necessarily trust anyone. However if he was going to be part of this guild he'll have to trust these two.

Asen slaps his palm on the snow to flip himself backwards to land on his feet while snatching the hilt of his sword into his hands as his crimson red eyes locks onto the Golems that were recovering themselves. Neither of them were tired, but he knew that he couldn't draw this fight out for very long. Right now though, he patiently waits for the Golems to make their move though he doesn't realize that his feet are sunk kind of deep into the snowy ground. Making him less able to evade in a quick reaction. One of the Golems charged at him attempting to slam Asen with its body only to miss as Asen tries to move to the side but slips since his feet were too deep in the snow. He couldn't land a hit on the Golem, but he did managed to evade the attack at least.

He waited at the snow just tilting his head back while letting the snow fall on his shoulders as he waited for a reply. The snow left a thin layer of it on his mask as he was covered mostly in black making him looking like a shadow of the night. The only thing that was skin exposed at the moment was his eyes and the sides of his temples since his hood was up as well. He was pretty much drawing on the snow just writing different characters of an weird script he learned once during a Dungeons and Dragons campaign that he used to play with his friends. The Elven Script as the book named it, since he once played an elf character he had spent hours learning the scripts. He was just writing the names of all of the friends he once knew but were now dead on the snow in the Elven Script and there was a long line of them. Counting up to at least 30 of them.

Then on the corner of his eye he sees that he has a PM on his inbox. So he swiped open his menu and clicked on it and was relatively glad that it was Mari and not Kyle since Kyle always delivers the bad news to him when he sees that a pack of players were setting out to hunt for his head. He opens the message and after he reads what it says he nods in agreement as he basically cartwheeled himself from being proned to stand up on his feet while brushing the snow off of him before he starts to make his way towards those coordinates. It didn't take him very long though since she was pretty close though he wasn't surprised that she was since anybody can be almost anywhere on here. When he was too far away for him to speak normally he just raised his hand and waved at her as he was getting closer. At the five meter mark and he stopped in his tracks as he put his hands in his coat's pockets. Previously he tried to talk to her normally maybe once or twice and it worked somewhat. Not that he's trying to undermine her or really has any plans at all really. Guess one can say if she was like him or something else entirely, from what he has seen she is similar to him and he also just want to come to better understanding to her. "Alright, now that i'm here, I have recently found out a rumor that I would like to confirm that recently the entrance of some cave or doorway was discovered by some players doing scout work. Apparently it's not the Glacial Cove, so I was wondering, with your help of course, wouldn't mind on joining with me? If not then I can just solo through it, but I figured to at least try to be friendly you know?" Perhaps he was a bit off today but he is pretty talkative to Mari and usually he's just the quiet guy who gets the job done as best as he can.

"Well that's nothing new." He said more to himself as he simply stood up his feet and stretched a bit before turning his crimson red eyes towards her that gives off a glow of sorts that only can be read as acute and aware of the situation though his face remained as casual as it was before. He waved at the her weapon in dismissal as he doesn't raise his blade though that doesn't mean he was going to defend himself if he needs to. "If I really wanted to kill you I would've done it already, besides i'm not in a fighting mood today." He mumbled as he simply sheathed his sword at the back of his belt that was bumping slightly on his thigh as he made his advancement unarmed now to walk past her where he kneels down at the water to scoop up a handcup of water to drink it. He had to conserve his thirst even if this was just a game.

The air about him was not as hostile as his cursor radiates as much, and he doesn't make much movements of hostility towards her as his sword is sheathed in plain view. "You can go ahead and put that thing away unless you're ready to kill me with that. Plus fighting women really isn't my style if I can help it that is." He's not trying to be rude to her as he motioned with his head towards her sword that she has pointing at him. He was just trying to be honest as he simply doesn't like fighting anybody in particular unless he can't help it. Or if push comes to shove he can easily flip on his other personality that'll be the complete opposite of him. However that wasn't him today as he was not in the mood to battle anything it seems.

This crazy centipede looking thing with its million little legs thought it could catch Asen by simply slamming its jaws into the ground where he stood. Well unfortunately for it that didn't happen as Asen evades by rolling to the side though he didn't anticipate the shockwave from the impact as he was still a little too close to it as he is stumbling for his feet but winds up catching his footing. However instead of attacking the creature he just leaps back a few paces to get some distance between this creature. If anything this creature was just plain annoying, but that was alright for Asen as he was using this to kill time anyways so he wasn't all that worried.

"Alright, let's try this again." Asen mumbled to himself as he sets the brass ingot on the anvil. Taking the hammer in his hands, he swings down on the brass ingot. Each strike puts a small square like dent into it and he thought he was doing pretty good until he struck the seventh time and it starts to shape once more. However when it finally came to fruit it turns out to be a bad gladius looking sword of scorched brass. Asen lets out a sigh as he goes to store it in the stock now. "At this rate i'm pretty much going to have to salvage all of these before I even get started." Mumbling to himself as he knows that he was going to be poor on doing this and his luck has not changed at all.

Almost flying down the stairs as Asen was running at full speed and was pretty fast yet reckless as he'll slide on trying to slow down for turns and pretty much just jumps over the mobs that litter the Dungeon's grounds. He wasn't wasting anymore time with these weak ones since he pretty much can take them on pretty easily now. But he was more in a hurry than ever as he wants to complete this quest already even though he pretty much can use the experience either way. However he would just have to make do to the fact that if he completes this now that maybe he can also get back to his shop in the Fourth Floor and start hammering away just as he always loved to do. Within half an hour, Asen successfully made his way to the Second Floor at last. By now he was panting from running so much along with jumping and such. Even if this is just a game, there's always a time limit on how long you can maintain your stamina just as it would in real life except a bit longer.

While Asen was taking in this magnificent moment within the Third Floor, he was also keeping an eye out for any potential gathering spots for Mats so that he could use them in his forge and hopefully makes something useful this time. Luckily for him, he finds a hole in one of the many trees around here and so he decides to check it to see if it held anything of value inside it. Luckily enough he encountered a brass ingot, and so he found another Mat which he stores in his inventory for now. As he now has to hurry up and head for the dungeon that descends to the Second Floor so that he can go ahead and get rid of this Wind Wasp Queen.

Asen suddenly felt a little sluggish as if the wonderous speed and agility he had earlier was just... gone. Of course he was still good nonetheless but this time the Golem that was standing up a few meters away from him suddenly charged at Asen and before he could react to that the golem underneath him surprised him by it suddenly grabs his left shin preventing him to be able to dodge the attack. He tried to get himself free by flipping his blade and stabs the Golem right through its head. Unfortunately he couldn't do that fast enough as he is suddenly rammed into the chest by this Golem as he gasped from the wind being knocked out of his lungs before he got sent sliding back a few meters as his sword went flying in the air. When he stopped sliding, he had to crane his neck to the side as his sword suddenly came down and almost pierced his head as it stood in place next to his face.

Asen made his way on down to the Third Floor and while he was doing that he was also quickly scavenging anything that has to do with Mats for his forge. Though today is just not his lucky day at all as he just finds empty air save for the Mobs that roam through the dungeons. So he kept making his way through until he finally reached the bottom and was almost overwhelmed on how peaceful it was on this floor. If he didn't know any better he would've thought he just stepped in heaven or something as he took in the view, the smell, and the sound this place gives off just by being here. Of course down below where the branches never go was the water as ripples can be seen while an aquatic monster surfaces only to reemerge to the water.

Well as if Asen's day could get any worse, he hammers down on the block once more on the block of molten iron. Once again he was determined to forge a good item as he was only able to hammer the thing 3 times before the thing started to form into an axe shaped. But when the glow dwindled, the axe simply crumbled to nothing ending in complete failure. He let's out as sigh as he was now out of Mats and this just means he has to go out and get more.

Asen went back to working on his project and starts to hammer down once again. "Watch this, i'll get another bad item." He told himself as he was hammering down only six times now before it forged into yet another big sword. When it was done it was indeed another crappy two handed sword only this time the blade somehow got bent to the side which was a bit weird. But he merely sighed as he puts it in the stock anyways. "This is going to be some day." He mumbled to himself as that was the second time he made a bad item.

Asen brought down the hammer upon the brightly orange block of iron that was being dented with each strike made upon it as it rests on top of the anvil. He only hammers the block about seven or so times before the block took shape into a sword as he was trying to forge a sword of his own that was better than his previous sword that he crafted with his own hands which was the Xilanvale. The forge was rather quiet since there was nobody else coming in the shop yet since it was just released that it was opened not long ago in fact and now he's trying to both make items for stock. However, when the block stopped forming, it turned into a crappy two handed sword that is of no use to anyone unless they were desperate. He frowned upon the blade as he picks it up with his two hands and just shook his head at it. "I can do better than this, but if someone dislikes somebody else or wish to play a prank this is one way of doing it. If not i'll just sell it to the NPC." He mumbled to himself as he puts the weapon in stock anyways and just has to wait for Sunday evening and it'll be gone.

Information

This forge is sponsored by the Cerulean Silence and is owned personally by a Player named Asen. It is located near the Frostbite Lake hence the name of the forge and is thus in neutral grounds meaning both Green Players and even Player Killers can enter this shop. HOWEVER do note that Player Killers must unequip their weapons when they come in since others tend to get a little jumpy when a Player Killer is seen with a blade. Scaring off customers is not good for business. Failure to do so upon being warned once or twice then the blacksmith will kick the player out temporarily. The same goes with even the regular Players should they start to become violent while in his shop he'll ask them to take it outside or he'll force you to take it outside if they do not listen to him the first time. This has no intention to be offensive in any way, it's just a basic rule saying VIOLENCE WILL NOT BE TOLERATED within the forge.

Now let's get onto the main important part of this forge. Come one and come all to this wonderful, though cluttered at the same time, forge. Need something that's good and can be accepted as a gift of apology, friendship, etc? We can fix something up for you to do just that, or if you need repair on your equipment then just with a small fee it can be fixed just the way it was when you first got it. So if you don't need a weapon or armor but rather need maintenance on your equipment just come here and it'll be done. It would certainly break one's heart if their favorite weapon/armor winds up breaking on them in the middle of an intense fight and wind up being left with your hands or with just your regular clothes. Do note that once a crafted item has gone through a week in this shop and hasn't been looked or even been noticed it will be donated to the guild that's sponsoring this forge including half of what the shop earns in Col starting from Monday to donation on Sunday Evening. So when it's crafted you'd best come and get it before it gets shipped off into the guild.

1 = Epic Fail (lose mats if crafting)

12 = Perfect Item (GM approval for Enhancements)

You know what would really be fun? Is if we can, instead of hunting players hence Player Killers, hunt uncommon to rare and legendary monsters that can be taken down such as Cupid for example. Hence the name of the topic as Monster Hunters, I think it would be a quick way on earning some XP and Col/Mat to boot. Maybe even SKP if its long enough. Right now this is just an idea that I've been having in mind for a little over a year now and I would love to see who else finds this interesting.

The Golem attempts to surprise the young swordsman by charging suddenly through the wave of snow in order to bash into him. However, Asen was quick on his toes as he gracefully spun around the Golem to slash at the Golem's knee once and when he stopped spinning he slashed again to end the spin dealing two strikes upon the Golem since it was going on long enough. He had to make it fast to the second floor and the third floor is relatively easy since it's almost non-monster infested except for the water below the trees where powerful aquatic creatures lurk under the surface waiting for its next victim. Nonetheless Asen ended the Golem's life with that last strike as it shattered into pieces and without a moment of hesitation he took off running for the fourth floor's descendant dungeon.

That first one that Asen pretty much slammed onto the ground behind him was simply too dazed from the impact as it tried to stand up but it winds up falling back on its face as the second one seemed to have lost its footing. "Why is it these Golems are always so clumsy?" He asked to himself as he charged in fast in a zigzag pattern towards the second one. Almost in 0.3 seconds, Asen closed that almost three meter gap to quickly slash at the Golem's knee in a single fluid motion on top of the fact that he even places his foot on top of the Golem's head and leaps backwards using the built up momentum to carry him where he needs to go while performing a backflip only to land with grace on the prone Golem as his blade pierces through the Golem's icy body. He was moving pretty fast around here, and that's probably the only thing to him that's notable about him.
