[SYSTEM ALERT!:]

[YOU HAVE COMPLETED PRODUCTION QUEST.

YOU RECEIVED 10 GOLD

RECEIVED 300 EXP]

[FORGING LEVELED TO BEGINNER LEVEL 6.]

Cassius was exhausted. It had taken him two days to complete the order Charles gave him. If not for the sound of a pouch filled with gold coins, he would have protested about the amount of work he was given. Well everything turned out well in the end. All of Cassius's personal funds rounded up into an impressive ten gold coins. It might not seem like much but it was a lot.

And if Kabiru is to be believed, the ten Gold was enough for a middle class family to feed themselves comfortably for six months. But as far as funds go, it was not enough. Cassius needed more, which brought him to the next avenue of his plans. After Charles had paid him, Cassius had invested two gold in raw materials needed for forging.

In fact he had finished the order earlier and had busied himself making a variety of spears, swords and shields that he undeservedly dumped into the Auction. The other sets of mouse prayer armor he put up had ready netted him two thousand dollars in profit, while the miscellaneous pieces of armors brought him 600. In the real world that money will come in Handy, but Cassius had to stop receiving the pay for the equipment’s he auctioned with real money.

The auction had the option of letting you choose your mode of payments. With the currency exchange not properly settled you could get a lot for cheap armor and less for good ones. But the fact of the matter is, as long as what you put up is being bid on, you would make some really good money.

But now Cassius had to change his mode of payment into the in game currency. Waiting for Shedrach to start the game, so that they can use his big brain to direct their investment prospects through his meticulous planning would be a huge waste of time. Since Shedrach was still facilitating his release from the military, Cassius had to try his best and make something work.

Fortunately for him, he had someone like Nana helping and giving him advice. With all of the plans Nana had laid down for him, it was hard to imagine; that the old bugger was actually on death’s door.

So with the funds he could gain from being a blacksmith with the skills to make high quality items, that mind you will only keep getting better. Cassius could make a whole lot of Money. Which brought him to what he was doing right now. Kabiru and Monkey had gone to sleep, the same with Charles and his wife leaving Cassius as the only occupant of the forge. he was actually doing two things at the same time.

He discovered that even though the sub-class he had was given to him by a blacksmithing God, it actually encompassed all production classes. Charles's wife Selina is actually an alchemist, and under her guardianship Cassius had learnt how to make iron Grade Stamina, healing and spirit pills. Since the players did not have any HP bar the health pills just functions as an instant recovery for wounds and injuries. The stamina pill recovers stamina duh, the spirit pill can speak for itself.

Cassius had made a hundred pieces each from materials he had made Kabiru and Monkey fetch for him amidst incessant grumblings of protest about how they were not errand boys.

They delivered and left, since Kabiru still had to complete certain tasks around the city as part of his community service. But in the process, Cassius had both of them ask around the slums, investigate and make inquiries. Empty headed as they both were, these two were thorough, in a day Cassius had learnt who were those corrupted, those in charge of gangs, the perfect group of children to be his own group of little spies, and a man who could give him a property for a base.

But what they actually found out, that has been weighing down on Cassius for most of the day was that for the past few weeks a lot of children between the ages of three and twelve were found dead and mutilated. Almost as if they were attacked by animals. But the fact that they were in a city defeats that theory.

Cindy who Cassius later discovered is actually the guild master of the adventurers guild had led an investigation, but so far nothing has been found. Cassius had asked both Kabiru and Monkey to put their ears on the ground and keep making inquiries. But with this news of a killer, who of course had a calling card of what was definitely a serial killer; Cassius needed them to be discreet. He wanted the killer caught, but he had no intentions of being a target. After all this had the smell of a quest all over it. He just needed to find the source.

After Cassius finished making those potions and putting them up for auction he went back to forging. Alchemy was good and fine, but he preferred the heat from a forge, the rhythm of a hammer on molten steel was like a symphony of fire and ringing metal that not many people could understand.

The constant banging of metal against metal, and the sound of it being sharpened with that steam powered whetstone brought about a screech and spark that Cassius found oddly exciting. he loved the forge, he loved the idea of making things of steel that put a sense of power In the hands of whomever held it. He loved the feeling of the cold steel and silent promise of death it carried. Cassius felt like he was insane, but it’s strange being responsible for the creation of something that will be responsible for the loss of countless lives.

And so it went on and on for a few hours. Charles had given the recipe to a set of iron grade equipment, and Cassius had spent hours making them. They were all quite suitable for those of the average level, and if the entire set was equipped even those high level players will find it useful.

Among this armor set there were greaves, gloves, and boots. The weapons were a matter of choice, whether you chose an axe, sword or spear as long as one of them was there you could activate the set Bonus. This equipment was strictly tailored for tanks. Other players could wear a few pieces of the equipment, but only tanks could bring out its true strength.

Cassius had made six sets of this armor before he got tired and had to log out. He had spent another six hours crafting this armors and at the moment he was tired.

After school the next day, the whole game went down for a two hour maintenance and update. At about six pm it came back on, and Cassius logged back in with extreme anticipation.

WELCOME TRAVELER TO ELEMENTAL WARRIORS ONLINE.

THE GAME HAS UNDERGONE AN UPDATE AND PATCH 24550009 HAS BEEN ACTIVATED. AS SUCH TIME DILATION IS NOW IN EFFECT. FOR EVERY SIX HOURS IN REAL LIFE 24 HOURS WILL HAVE PASSED IN THE GAME. THIS IS TO OFFER OUR PLAYERS MORE CHANCE TO PLAY THE GAME FOR LONGER TIME THAN WHAT IS EXPECTED. PLEASE STUDY OUR ENCLOSED DISCLAIMER AND INFO PACKAGE FOR MORE INFORMATION. THANK YOU.

Cassius had his mouth wild open from shock. Was such a thing even possible. This meant that time in the game was 4 times faster than real life. Cassius for the first time ever did something he would never do under different circumstances. He read the info, apparently due to the time dilation patch, other players can not log in as freely as they once used to.

Logging out is fine, but to log in you had to wait for the beginning of the game’s next twenty-four hour cycle. Which meant you could log in every six hours, and at a specific time at that. The game servers will implement a five minute lag everyday at six am, six pm, twelve am and twelve pm respectively to enable their players a chance to log in.

While Cassius was happy about the extra time to play he was a little apprehensive because he was not sure what kind of effect this time dilation stuff will have on the human mind.

Cassius brushed that thought aside as he went looking for the contact that Monkey had provided. Since it was late at night, both Kabiru and Monkey were already asleep. So Cassius had to do this himself. He had asked Monkey to find a residence for him, somewhere cheap, big and hidden. The dragon in disguise as a hawk (Cassius was still trying to wrap his head around that tidbit of information) had spoken to the overseer of the slums, of course he had a much more fancier title, but Monkey did not remember it.

So Now Cassius was going to find the man, hopefully he was awake and all this walk would not have been for nothing. Over the past week, Cassius had gotten to know the layout of the slums, every thing here was old and on the verge of a breakdown, except for the temple where he spawned, that place looked like something out of a dream or a fantasy movie.

The slums made up half of the entire city, but for some reason even though it was the slums it was quite organized. It seemed before this place became the slums it was today, it used to be a huge housing estate with numbered houses and streets, so it made it easier to locate the buildings.

Cassius would usually have many things going on in his head right now, but he needed to channel his mind into a single focus, and that means at this point he had to focus on getting himself a base, or a lair, lair sounds better……….or maybe a den would fit a vampire better.

After twenty minutes of walking Cassius arrived at a three story establishment. It was in a better shape than most of the other buildings in the slums, but it was still gory to look at. he will not bother himself with architecture as he ascended the almost crumbling stairs to the front door. There was a guard there actually, but he was passed out with an empty bottle laying right by his side, even from here Cassius could perceive the pungent smell of alcohol on his breath. This guy was definitely not waking up anytime soon.

Cassius knocked on the door, with more force than expected, prompting a cacophony of noises in the almost silent neighborhood as its denizens prepared to turn in for the night. he heard somebody cursing and stumbling in the building, knocking over furniture and what sounded like a vase.

When the door opened Cassius was met with an almost comical sight. The man in front of him could not be more than five feet tall, and he was incredibly round, or fat however you want to put it. His gut extended so far from his body you would need to place two Cassius’s closely together to be able to measure the distance from his body. The man was also putting on pink pajamas with drawings of baby angels and teddy bears. He looked extremely red though.

“ Who the hell are you!!!” The man asked in anger.
