Green Skin

will reinforce the Ancient Flame.”

[The Ancient Flame will be reinforced using three million points.]

The Ancient Flame floated into the smithy, and I worried about whether I was throwing away three million points for nothing.
I heard hammering noises for a while before a pleasant voice rang.

[The reinforcement has succeeded.]

The sword had more patterns engraved onto its flaming blade, and the handle had become more handsome.
The size was bigger, but the important thing was its abilities.

[Levatain – The Ancient Flame of the World recognizes you as its owner.]

It had recognized my ownership, and I smiled at the name.
A weapon with such a title would not be useless.

[Levatain – The Ancient Flame of the World]

[Through reinforcement, you have unlocked its secret seal.
This weapon, which had been sleeping in the ground, had been discovered by the great desert warrior ‘Dodrock.’ The weapon had drunk in Dodrock’s magic had changed slowly to emit heat and fire.
However, Dodrock died in battle before being able to bring out this weapon’s full potential.
Now, the weapon shows its true powers.
Levatain thanks you and recognizes you as its owner.]

[Your fire resistance increases by a lot.
By using a little magic, your flames will melt metal.
By using a lot of magic, you can rule the flames you have shot out.]

[Stamina+2, Power+3, Magic+2]

It was beautiful, and I had to smile.
I was satisfied solely with its increased abilities.
The important thing was that there were no penalties, and I could use it with less magic.
Being able to rule over its flames meant I could do anything I wanted with it, which would be extremely useful.

“Can I test it?”

“Yes.”

The item shop and the smithy would not be affected, and the flames that shot out were much stronger than before.
I swung the sword to see the flames shooting in the air.
I was satisfied.
While it would not burn everything, it was still an exceptionally high-class item.
I now had two such weapons, and I would be able to use this one better if I grew stronger.
I wanted to reinforce the longsword, which could be reinforced in the usual fashion if I could.
That was why I was looking over the list again.

I saw that two items could be reinforced now, and the longsword would cost thirty thousand points and the spear a hundred thousand points.
I looked over the spear again and asked for details.

[Rotten Spear of Yggdrasill – 1000000 points.
You can reinforce it using special materials.
Yggdrasill’s petal (1/1), Yggdrasill’s stem (2/2), Yggdrasill’s Leaf (3/3)]

I thought things over, and my mind fixed on the Alaune Jung Hayeon.
Her race was based on Yggdrasil, and it seemed that the system recognized her and her loyalty as a part of me.
I could afford the points by selling items but wondered whether she may be harmed by my choice.
I spoke to the Goblin again.

“Will using the materials harm my clan’s Alaune?”

“No, but you need her permission.”

“How do I get one?”
“I will bring her here.
She would need to agree to this.”

I did not know that would be possible, and I nodded.
Jung Hayeon would not be doing anything now, and a moment later, she appeared in front of me.

“Taesung…”

She was looking at me with surprise.
