Chapter 285: Profession Rooms
When I woke up, I had no idea if it was morning or not, since I had no way to tell what the ti was. Probably not good for
but whatever, I’m sure I can deal with the consequences.
But that was a future
problem.
Today, I was going into the ’Professions’ section of my inheritance. Why exactly my inheritance had such a thing? Absolutely no idea.
A treasury I can understand, and the gates can also be reasonably explained, but this? No idea why it’s here.
Regardless, I entered the place and the first room was an empty room with absolutely zero things in it besides a pedestal which seed to work the sa way that the one in the main hall did.
I read through the entire thing and found that each room had a special ’core’ within each room to asure how far you’ve gotten with each profession and how close you were from the increasing it into a higher form of said profession.
You could also change profession once you’d reached one hundred percent, which I think is what I’m going to do now.
I don’t know why I chose Smithing as my Subclass, or sub-profession, but I think I want to change it to Enchanting now instead.
And fortunately for , after I finished reading the tablet, the last ’page’ was just a layout of how all of these rooms were interconnected together.
I quickly found the one for the one I had and headed over to the forging room.
Upon reaching the forging room, I found that it actually had so tools already. Why? The treasury had so already, then again, I guess it was in case they ca here first. Maybe?
Whatever, who cares? Not like it matters now anyways.
Still, I picked up the tools and laid them all out on the provided workbench in a line. Then, above them all, I took out the one’s inside of my storage space and laid them out above them all.
My reasoning for doing this was I thought that there might be so kind of difference between the two of them.
Picking them all up one by one, and apart from their physical appearance, the one’s from the treasury being laden with intricate golden patterns and red gemstones.
They all had the sa physical properties, so my next thought was maybe they had a difference in magical properties.
So that’s what I looked at next, using [Mana Vision]. And there indeed was a difference.
The fancy looking one’s were magical, and based on the flow of mana coming from them, and that mana flow seed to be of the fire elent which ca from the gemstones. And the golden inlets seed to have enchanted the items to better utilise this fact.
Guess I’m using the fancy tools. That does leave the question of what should I do with the one’s that were already here though?
There’s a nifty little box off to the side that doesn’t have anything in it for so reason. Guess I’ll just put them all in there for now.
With those tools out of the way, it was now ti to read the complintary book, which every room has on the back wall. I just forgot to say. I kind of skimd over that page in the entrance room.
All I know is that these books provide
with valuable tips and tricks to help
progress with my chosen profession and its abilities.
Reading this book was also nice, as it refreshed my mory on how to actually do any of this, since I’d forgotten.
Actually, I hadn’t forgotten, my mories of this specifically were sealed along with the rest, so I wasn’t going to pry into them. They’re bad mories apparently. EXTRELY bad ones.
That didn’t matter though, as now, I just had to focus on improving my abilities to their peak. Then I could change my profession to an Enchanter.
But before all that, I wanted to see how close I was to said peak. And I would do so using the orb which was next to the book itself.
I placed my hand on the crystal orb and imbued my will into it. I then felt so sort of force climb along that will and read . It wasn’t so sort of malicious intent or anything, just an astute one.
When said force then receded, I retracted my hand, and the orb then displayed my progress not too unsimilar to a Soul Scroll.
And it read: 98.78%
Which ant that I was only one point twenty-two percent away from perfecting my smithing skills.
And that was amazing news! As that ant that all I had to do now was brush of my rusty skills, pun intended, and refine them just a little more.
With this enthusiasm, I imdiately got to work, heading into the resource storage which was connected to the room. What good would a smithy be without tals to work on after all?
I then ca out with a bunch of familiar looking tals which I couldn’t rember the nas of or even what their properties were, but I didn’t care. I felt like I could do well with them anyways.
I did try looking around for a book that listed off the nas and properties of these tals, but no, there was no such thing in here or in the ingot storage room. And if there is, it must be hidden in the back sowhere.
Either way, now was not the ti for that. I’m sure that I’ll be able to figure things out after a little bit. I read the book provided to , how hard can it be?
_

Turns out, it’s very hard. Even after a full day of doing this, I hadn’t managed to make anything of not, just a pile of scraps.
Even after rereading the guide book on how to do this several tis over before each procedure, I still failed each and every ti.
I got better at it obviously, but it just wasn’t going well for so reason.
Maybe it’s the tools that I’m using? I have no idea how to properly use these magical tools in the first place, so maybe they’re hindering my process?
*Sigh*
I’ll do one more. One more with the normal tools and then give up. If I can’t even do it with the normal tools, then I’m just never going to be able to get out of this profession.
Tired and exhausted, I pushed through the process one last ti, slting down the clumps of scrap tal known as my failures, and slowly forging them into a simple dagger blade, with four flat faces and two sharp edges.
And it worked. The end result wasn’t anywhere near perfect, but it was still good enough to be usable to so extent.
Wiping the sweat from my forehead, I reached for a towel, but realised that there wasn’t one here. But I did it instinctually, which made sense since I’ve done this before apparently, but still, this circumstance I found myself in was weird.
Sighing once more, I just decided to just drop the issue, I’ll just use my magic to conjure up so water later to clean myself.
But before I left, I wanted to check how far I’d progressed in my abilities. I touched the orb and let it do it’s thing once again and took my hand off.
I wasn’t expecting any progress at all really but it actually showed a different number this ti.
This ti it read: 98.83%
I wasn’t expecting it to have improved at all to be honest, but whatever, I’ll take it.
*YAWN!*
’God I’m tired after that.’
*Growl*
’And hungry also. I should wash myself up before eating. Sha there’s no bathroom here or sothing that I could use to clean myself in. Oh well, it is what it is. I’ll manage’
After that, I washed myself off with my singular water spell, dried myself off with so fire and did the sa to the water around , then ate and went to sleep.

I then repeated that in a cycle of waking up and smithing so blades twice until I eventually reached one hundred percent.
As soon as I touched the orb, I got a notification within my Soul Scroll.
[Ding!]
You have reached the limit of the Smithing Subclass. Would you like to evolve it into the Subclass of Forging?]
[Y/N?]
I pressed no obviously and soon went to the Enchanting room imdiately to change my Subclass to that.
Wasting no ti upon reaching the room, I placed my hand on the orb and imbued my will into it and it responded just like the one in the forging room, but this ti, it gave
the opportunity to change professions.
[Ding!]
[You have the opportunity to change your Subclass from Smithing to Enchanting. Would you like to do so?]
[Y/N]
I quickly pressed yes and I could feel the changes happening within .
