Wishful Thinking

"Hello Fusion Chamber machine, you. I've done so many things with you and I do hope you don't turn me down, yeah? Different era different set of skills and here I am, going to utilize you for the first time in this era. So better be good and not fail me, alright?!" I spoke softly to it and caressed the machine like it was a living thing. Yes, I had been with Fusion Chamber for many months, from fusing broken Orc weapons and armours to fusing Stanspar shards, as well as Fusing and creating new enhanced armours using Refined Steel Plates. (Please pick up the novel Quantum Leap - Multiverse Transmigration if you had done so. There's in-depth information on how the initial fusing was done using those plates on common class armour.) I placed the old bronze sword inside the slot and the 3 pieces of Refined Iron ingots Level 3, 4 and 5 each in the other slot. I closed the sliding door and choose the primary slider to CREATE and the secondary slider to WEAPON. Next, I choose the type of weapon I wish to create since this would automatically enter into my storage bag after fusing. "This design is cute. I had seen the bronze type hanging over the mantelpiece and this is one I would love to have my hands on it. Heh heh heh. It would surely surprise Blake and the others tomorrow." I chuckled as I chose Renaissance Claymore Sword with matching quarterfoil quillions angled towards the blade. It is a long 57-inch blade with scabbard and had a nice feel handle and a ferrule-type for its pommel. After choosing the design, I cranked the handle and waited for the whole process. *Ding* Congratulations on unlocking profession of Basic Crafter Level 0/10. Progress 0%. *Ding* Congratulations on creating Level 4 'Victory' Renaissance Iron Claymore. Damage +20 *Ding* Congratulations on Levelling Up to Level 22/100,000. Progress 0%. Allocation points +40. It entered my storage and I took it out after inserting it into the weapon slot. "Oh Wow... This is even better than 'Fury', the bronze part had fused to be part of the hilt, handle and pommel while the iron had been made into its blade. It was unsharpened and it sure needs to be blade-washed. WOW...!!! I've unlocked another profession as a Crafter. Not bad... A general crafter in all kinds of items." (For a reference on how it looked like, please refer to Item # ZS-926900 of Medieval Collectibles) I slipped 'Victory' back into its scabbard and place it on the quickslot for easy retrieval. Next, I removed the wooden flat and round buckler and placed into the slot of the Fusion Chamber as I placed the remaining iron ingots on another slot. The slider was pushed to ARMOUR instead and I closed the door and choose its design once more. "Hah Hah Hah... This buckler is small yet practical and it looked just like a n****e from an angle. Hah Hah Hah... This big n****e gonna hurt you bad, motherfuckers. Hah Hah Hah..." I had chosen a fluted buckler with a round n****e on from to ward off direct blows from a sword or an axe and it's a small and yet handy 12" diameter n****e buckler. Hah Hah... The design itself would make the foes die of laughter...!! (Medieval Collectibles model Item # AB0123) I cranked the handle and shortly after 3 minutes, I heard the sweet sound of success. *Ding* Congratulations on creating Level 4 Fluted Iron Buckler. Armour +20 I withdrew the buckler and I find it to be light and versatile and I thought Iron was heavy. It was well made and I placed it in the shield slot together with 'Victory' and when I clicked the quick slot (QS), both shield and sword appeared at my sides and another click makes it hidden again. The dagger that I had received was placed on the 2nd quick slot, which means I would be using "Wait till Blake opens his eyes widen when he sees my new buckler and sword but I'd just let it be first since I'm going to forge some iron ingots there. Hah Hah... Can't wait to see those looks from them tomorrow." I said as I had 40 more points to allocate as I brought up the interface once more before I head back to the real world. Level: 22/100,000 Progress: 10% *ATTRIBUTES* Strength: 40 Dexterity: 42 Intelligence: 41 Vitality: 32 Toughness: 31 (+28) Damage: 40 (+20) Recovery: 42 Unallocated points: 0 I discovered that for each successful crafting, it would give me a 10% increase in progress. Thank God for that. At least I could level up regularly in the real world. *STATS* STR: Damage +40 Armor +40 Weight +200kg DEX: Damage +42 Dodge +4.2% Stealth +4.2% INT: Damage +41 Resistance +4.1% VIT: Health +320 TOUGH: Armour +310 (+280) DAM: Damage +110 (+55) REC: Mana +210 Class: Warrior, Wizard Profession: Basic Blacksmithing Level 5/10 Basic Herbalist Level 0/10 Basic Crafter Level 0/10 Wealth: 198 credits Weapon: Dagger (+3), Level 4 Renaissance Iron Claymore (+20) (QS) Armour: Heavy Work Glove (+2) Level 4 Iron Fluted Buckler (+20) (QS) It seems I would need to unlock another 2 more Classes and that would be an Assassin and a Ranger. Fortunately, Prius had given me a dagger which had not been used and it would be a start. I had a great wardrobe and an archer's hood that made me looked like Assassin Creed and I knew looks could kill. Hah Hah Hah...!!! Since the time I visited Blake and saw how outrageous the prices of his dagger that was set at 2,000 credits, I am sure a bow would cost somewhat double of that or triple. Might be a good idea to hop down and say hello to the merchant of the Bowstring store tomorrow. "Sigh... Baby Steps, baby steps... Its better than nothing and once I made some progress in the professions, I'd be hunting down those rabbits and other creatures for food and fur. Hah Hah Hah. Maybe a racoon would make a great cap, just like Davy Crockett would do with one. ..... I soon logged off and return to the real world and I felt a pair of hands gently touching my face as a damp towel were used to cover up my chest. "Audemars, are you alright? Are you in a comatose state again? Oh dear... What shall I do? The towel is soaked through with his perspiration and no matter how I shook him, he failed to respond or anything." Patricia who was sitting at the side of the bed was worrying like a mother over an ill child. Prius was standing by, as he had alerted the infirmary and awaiting for the staffs to drop by. "Uurrgghh... Wha... What happened Pat? Why did you look so worried?" I asked as the moment I opened up my eyes and saw her sitting on the side of the bed beside me. Somehow, one of her hands were placed over my loose shorts and it's a dangerous place to be there right at this moment...!!! "Haiyoo... This NPC girl had just placed her hands at the most vulnerable place... Don't she ever noticed that before?" I reached out and slowly grasped her left wrist and placed it at my sides. Realising what I had done, she blushed like a red beet and shifted her eyes away from me and placed both of her hands and clasped it on her lap. "I'm alright Pat, Prius... I was in deep meditation that's all. Oh. My. God... This towel had been soaked through. Here you go Pat, sorry to make you both worried about me. Do I look like I'm back in a comatose state or something?" I apologetically explained to them the situation so that it would not happen again in the future. At least I've given them a heads up so they won't think I'm sleeping and won't be able to wake up from it again like before. "You gave us quite a scare just now, young friend. I thought you were sleeping and when Patricia here was sponging you, she sensed no reaction as she had used cold water and noticed that the towel underneath you is totally drenched." "She may think you had gotten into a shock and had cold sweat all over you. She felt your hands but felt warm, unlike those others who were in shock. Hah Hah Hah... You gave us quite a scare there, buddy." Prius said as he waved the infirmary staffs that had entered to go back since he explained to them that I was in a deep meditative state instead. "Pat here will remain by your side if you do need anything. It would be best to change into something fresh and have a short shower to rid of those icky sticky sweat off you. Pat will dry off your bed here so it won't have any form of bacteria later on." Prius explained as he handed me a dry towel and told me to head on for a shower while Patricia went to the kitchen to put some coals inside an ironing iron to dry the wooden surface of the bed. After I emerged from the shower, the bed was made and Patricia was sitting on a wooden reclining chair and had placed it at the side of the bed. This won't be speeding up to pace and getting into her pants, folks. Haiyoo... Your minds ah... Very the dirty. Hurr Hurr... I laid down on the bed and propped up a few pillows behind me as I asked her a few general questions about her and the family. I discovered that she never had a boyfriend and she was still single while her friends are happily married and had their little bundle of joys. "Well, most of the able-bodied men here had been sent off for battles and war against the demons, that's why the population of men are dwindling here. Sometimes what's in front of me is much better than to think about what's far and out of reach..." Patricia dropped me a hint and she stood up, held her two palms in the sides of my face and then walked slowly out of the room. She glanced at me and smiled as she exits the room. So much for wishful thinking...
