Hyun-soo, who visited the Vatican, was able to meet with Pope Carsele.
Carsele was very friendly toward Hyun-soo.
“I am considering designating this signature sword as a sacred artifact of our Ares religion. Thank you, this signature sword will elevate our name even further.”
[Your crafted signature sword will be designated as a sacred artifact (聖物) of the Ares religion.]
[You gain 100 Fame.]
[You gain 30 Charisma.]
“Aria said she would charge 30% more, but I have a different idea.”
Hyun-soo’s heart inexplicably raced.
After all, it was the Pope.
It was because Carsele was making an effort to show himself in a good light to him.
“The value of this signature sword is greater and more beautiful, so I’ve decided to pay an additional 10% value, making it 1.6 million gold.”
It was an astonishing amount.
1.6 billion won in Korean currency.
“Would it be alright to entrust you with a task next time?”
Carsele had heard that Hyun-soo was an outstanding warrior and an excellent blacksmith.
It meant he was willing to entrust him with any mission.
“Of course.”
With that, Hyun-soo immediately left the Vatican and logged out.
And then he applied to exchange the gold.
Hyun-soo wanted to see the money in his account in person, so he went to the counter to check it.
1.6 billion won.
Since the remaining hospital bills were about 700 million won, he would still have nearly 900 million won left after paying them off.
Hyun-soo couldn’t help but tear up.
The hospital bills that had amounted to several billion won.
It was essentially the end of his life, but it was the beginning of a new life for Hyun-soo.
And he made a promise to be happy once more at the words of an elder as he left the bank.
He immediately went to the hospital and paid off all the hospital bills.
What to do with the remaining money was something he still needed to think about.
And Hyun-soo was left with a bit of leisure time.
What to do during this leisure time?
Hyun-soo could decide quickly.
“Recreate the Disaster’s Coat.”
The power of telekinesis stemming from the command of disaster imbued in the Disaster’s Coat seemed quite remarkable.
To Hyun-soo, the Disaster’s Coat appeared to contain many powers that were unnecessary for him.
“Adjusting the artifact to suit me also signifies my growth.”
After all, Hyun-soo’s level was still only in the 220s.
And as much as Hyun-soo has grown, the levels of the players playing the game have been exponentially increasing.
An outstanding artifact was also Hyun-soo’s strength in narrowing that gap.
[Connecting to Ares.]

“It’s alright, Bella.”
Saint Aria’s prayers drove away all the diseases, and Bella, lying in the hospital room, confessed her disloyal heart to Barad.
However, Barad shook his head generously as if it was rather fortunate.
Bella cautiously asked what she was curious about.
“Why did you let the assassin named Brock go?”
He was someone who attempted to assassinate the king. Bella could not understand why he would let such a person go.
“I am getting old, and that child is ripening.”
What a sad thing to say.
But for some reason,
Barad seemed full of excitement.
“It’s been 15 years since we’ve been in a cold war with the Kingdom of Praham.”
The Kingdom of Praham was twice as big as the Kingdom of Goyard.
“We’ve been in a silent war all this time.”
They just hadn’t marched their troops into each other’s territory.
It wouldn’t be strange if a war broke out at any time.
“So I thought about it. Hyun-soo needs to grow day by day and gain more recognition from the people, and even the nobles.”
Bella agreed.
He was just a junior baron now, about the rank of a knight.
“He will have to accomplish countless tasks to finally reach this position, I hope for his growth, the end of this weary war, and for him to gain even more.”
Bella didn’t understand his words for a moment.
“What do you mean by that……?”
“Do you know how I felt when I first learned about the blacksmith Hyun (現)?”
Bella admired Barad’s foresight.
At that time, Barad’s emotions seemed to be,
‘Blacksmith Hyun (現). I desperately want to meet him.’
That was the emotion Barad had felt, and it must be what the king of the Kingdom of Praham would feel.
At that moment,
Brock, who had returned alive after losing an arm,
Brock was treated by the priests of Goyard and was fine except for the missing arm.
The king of the Kingdom of Praham, who was receiving a report from him,
He was one of the ten legends of the continent, Spear Heaven, and he was an old man.
Ben, who was listening to the report on the throne, was surprised.
“Although I failed in the assassination, I have listened to their stories with all ears open.”
Ben felt an indescribable emotion.
It was about the blacksmith Hyun (現).
His curiosity about him.
And it made him touch his worn-out spear.
He was feeling exactly what Barad had felt.
But Ben shook his head.
“It’s not what you heard, it’s what Barad allowed you to hear.”
He had let Brock go and conveyed that story.
Ben understood his intention precisely.
‘Don’t you also want a splendid spear? But what to do? The creator of that spear is a noble from our kingdom?’
Barad was a sly fox.
He was extending his hand for peace while trying to hold the reins of that peace.
Another curious thing was this,
‘Why reveal such a valuable talent…?’
Ben’s eyes widened.
‘Is it to that extent?’
Barad had made a choice for him too.
He already cherished him by his side, but he hoped for him to go further and accumulate more wealth and fame.
It was like this,
‘My friend, isn’t he impressive? Please look forward to what comes next.’
It’s as if he was confident not to lose Hyun, yet he also wanted to show off that power.
And he was half successful.
Ben felt an irresistible greed.
But that didn’t mean he planned to give up control.
‘I too wish I had an outstanding spear.’
However, Ben was even more cunning than Barad.
“It would be interesting, Blacksmith Hyun (現). If we ask him to make a spear that cannot be made, both Barad and the blacksmith named Hyun could be disgraced.”
A vision appeared before him.
The sight of Blacksmith Hyun sweating profusely, receiving an impossible request to craft a spear.
He immediately summoned the blacksmiths and ordered them.
“Look into making a spear that seems impossible to create.”
After the blacksmiths left, Brock asked.
“What if the spear that is supposed to be impossible to make actually gets made?”
“It won’t be easy. The whole point is to propose something that can’t be made.”
Finally, Ben moved on.
Then he reconsidered.
What should be done if a spear that others cannot make is actually possible to create?
‘That’s an obvious question.’
If such a spear were to be made, he would be the one sweating profusely on that day.
Because he would want that spear too much.
***
Hyun-soo clearly understood the advantages of being a descendant of the blacksmith god.
Custom crafting.
The grade of an artifact is determined not only by its defense or attack power but also by the number and amount of effects it possesses.
In other words, the higher the number of skills and the higher the increase in any stat, the higher the grade.
Custom crafting is different.
‘It’s tailored exactly to my needs, eliminating anything unnecessary.’
That’s why Hyun-soo decided to recreate the Disaster’s Coat.
Hyun-soo’s divine custom repair obtained previously.
The power to remove the unnecessary and insert something new.
This includes not just repairs but also restoration and recreation.
The reason Hyun-soo decided to recreate the Disaster’s Coat.
‘There are too many skills I don’t need.’
Firstly,
The Disaster’s Coat has the power of instant death.
The passive skill of instant death has this power.
‘Randomly causes instant death to one of those who fear you with a 0.4% chance.’
What kind of ridiculous skill is that?
Of course, if Hyun-soo were truly a disaster, it would be a necessary skill.
Just facing a disaster would cause someone to die, and the fear of it would reach its peak.
But if Hyun-soo actually became like that, he would likely be expelled from the kingdom.
‘This is actually excellent in a different view.’
It’s absurd but indeed a powerful ability.
Wouldn’t it be better to upgrade this to a different effect?
The power Hyun-soo wanted to upgrade was exactly the command of disaster.
The ability to stop everything around with telekinesis for 6 seconds.
[Beginning divine custom repair.]
It removes instant death and the power to induce fear, known as the majesty of disaster.
Instead, it changes to stopping all things with telekinesis for 6 seconds.
In what way?
‘To freely control real telekinesis.’
Just stopping things and telekinesis controlled by Hyun-soo himself are completely different.
Hyun-soo stayed up for two days straight to finally complete it.
[You have recreated it with craftsmanship superior to the original creator.]
[You have renamed it to the Monarch’s Coat.]
[The effects of the Monarch’s Coat are 6% superior and it boasts a new appearance.]
Hyun-soo truly admired it.
(Monarch’s Coat)
Grade: Unique
Durability: 9,000/9,000
Defense: 431
Requirement: Level 200 or above
Special Abilities:
· Charisma increase by 30.
· Active Skill: Command of the Monarch.
· Passive Skill: Command of Disaster.
· When wearing an additional disaster artifact, all effects increase by 5%.
Description: An artifact symbolizing the fifth disaster, Jack, it was closest to being legendary but has been recreated by a more superior blacksmith.
The Command of Disaster that Hyun-soo wanted to maximize.
It existed as both an active and a passive skill.
And to differentiate them, the active was changed to Command of the Monarch.
The passive was kept as is.
And the effects of both were slightly different.
What Hyun-soo wanted was the change in the active skill, Command of the Monarch.
(Command of the Monarch)
Active Skill
Mana Cost: 500
Cooldown: 20 minutes.
Effects:
· You can freely control all objects within a 50m radius with telekinesis for 12 seconds.
· Impossible if the target’s level is 100 above yours.
The original ability to stop what you want for just 6 seconds has greatly increased to 12 seconds.
‘Should I try it?’
Hyun-soo tested the newly acquired Command of the Monarch.
***
Manager Nel was on her way to the blacksmith shop, a base, to meet Hyun-soo.
She was actually quite worried.
‘He might become a king in the future…?’
Of course, it would be a joyous occasion if Guild Master Hyun-soo really did become one.
However, she thought it might be too soon.
Of course, it wasn’t happening right now, but she and Hyun-soo had only met a few months ago.
‘The life of a noble is not easy.’
The first time she saw Hyun-soo, he was certainly cool, but unknowingly filled with darkness.
He had a lot of worries and concerns, struggling with hospital bills and other things. His shoulders were broad but seemed somehow drooping.
Of course, part of her visit was to congratulate him now that he had solved the hospital bill issue.
But the person who was like that just a few months ago now has to live the life of a noble.
‘Perhaps he needs a little more time?’
She genuinely worried for Hyun-soo and for the sake of the guild’s future. Of course, it was a situation already in motion, so she could only worry.
Entering the blacksmith shop, the base, Nel was speechless.
‘It wasn’t too soon…’
People have innate qualities.
Even if those qualities are hidden, their essence doesn’t disappear.
Nel found the scene before her simply awe-inspiring.
Hammers, anvils, nails, screws, countless materials for crafting artifacts.
Those materials were gently floating around Hyun-soo, who was wearing the coat.
The forge, which should have been roaring with flames,
Seemed as if someone had taken a photo of the fire and paused it in time.
Hyun-soo flicked his fingers.
Then, the floating objects around him began to settle down one by one.
Roarrrrr-
The fire in the forge, which had been like a paused photo, blazed up again.
Seeing Hyun-soo turning around with a slight smile, Nel was convinced.
He was, from the beginning, born for this place.
