Rise Of The Hoarder Chapter 21 Game Changer

[Smithing]! It’s a feature that allows you to forge weapons and other equipnt from various materials.r

I have played my fair share of gas and have seen how they work. Since this world functions similarly to those gas, the concept should be similar.r

“It looks like I struck gold this ti!”r

“A-Ah…” Paul moaned slightly as I untied the ropes tightly binding him.r

What is this guy? A baby?r

Within a few monts, he was finally free, moving his body in a relieved manner.r

“Thank you. This feels much better.” He smiled.r

I wouldn’t have done this if it wasn’t necessary for him to use his [Smithing] Gift.r

Fortunately, he trusts and fears enough not to try anything funny.r

“Now then, shall we begin? First, tell how your Gift works. I have basically told you mine.” I said to Paul, who excitedly toyed with the cores on the floor.r

“O-Oh, that. I just put the materials together and create an image in my head. The materials combine and form the item in my head. B-But there are restrictions…” He mumbled.r

Of course. His Gift, like mine, must have a low rank. To unlock more features he would have to ‘Rank up’.r

“I can’t create objects more than a particular size, and it takes so ti for the objects to fully transform. Also, so objects are incompatible with each other so the process is canceled.” Paul explained.r.

“Ah, I see…” I mumbled.r

The first two are a given, but the last one concerns a little. Incompatibility could be a problem. The demon cores are essential elents required to forge the kind of tools I want.r

“It would be unfortunate if he can’t rge them due to that reason.” I thought to myself.r

“Paul, what’s the ‘Rank’ of your Gift?”r

He was a little surprised by my question, so it took a while before he could answer.r

“R-Rank D…”r

My eyes bulged when he uttered those words.r

“What the fvck!”r

How has this retard advanced so much while doing nothing but hiding in his ho?r

“W-Wow. That’s quite the Rank!” I said with an uncomfortable laugh.r

“You don’t have to force yourself to say it. I know my Rank will be pretty low compared to yours…” He mumbled.r

If only he knew… That my Gift is only at the E Rank. And that is only because I ranked up.r

“Maybe…” My mind suddenly sparked with a thought.r

“Did you perhaps use (G) Karma Points?” I asked.r

Paul appeared confused at my ntion of (G) Karma Points.r

“What’s that?” He asked.r

What? He doesn’t know about that? How did he Rank up so easily then? Perhaps he’s just unsure of what they’re called.r

“Check your Status Window. You should find it among your displayed information.” I said.r

“O-Okay… B-But there’s nothing here.” He said, looking at the invisible panel In front of him.r

Paul places in too high a regard to lie to . He must really not have that elent among his Status Information.r

“What of (G) Factor?” I asked.r

Even I don’t know what that ans.r

He shook his head after checking for a while.r

“What’s going on here?” I asked within myself in confusion.r

But, I can’t afford to show my ignorance to him.r

“I see. It must be due to your low level.” I falsely explained.r

“Ah, I see… I’m still a Level 1, after all.” He chuckled in embarrassnt.r

Whew, bullet dodged.r

Still, I’m impressed. To have Ranked-Up his Gift to that extent without leaving the confines of his room, he must have used it like crazy.r

“The thing is, I have been constantly making weapons and tools as soon as I was aware of those ‘things’,” Paul revealed.r

“I made countless daily and experinted with various features to test my limits. I thought by doing this frequently, I would eventually have the courage to leave this place. B-But…”r

His face fell, implying what he tried to communicate.r

I can understand his perspective. Even I nearly lost hope after seeing the horrific Demons that awaited should I step out. But, one way or the other, danger was imminent. At least, this way I can choose what path to take.r

“I won’t powerlessly cower in fear like this idiot.”r

Since he was a Rank D, it should be enough for him to transmute Demon cores with other items. The Demon Cores were all lesser grades anyway, so it should be fine.r

There were quite a lot of weapons in this room. They should suffice for the tests we’ll be undertaking.r

“Let us begin” I smiled.r

[Monts Later]r

My eyes glowed in excitent as I stared at the knife before . It had a faint crimson glow, and I could feel a slight buzz anyti I touched it.r

“It was a success!” I bead.r

Paul made a relieved expression, also marveling at the creation he’d forged.r

“wow!… This is amazing!” He whispered.r

Like little children attracted to the latest toy, we both observed the knife with awe and satisfaction.r

Having a slightly bent shape and an entirely black color, this special weapon had energy flowing within it, making it more durable and powerful than the others.r

“This is perfect! Can we do more? There are so many things I want to try.” Paul bead at .r

“O-Okay… Just relax. Keep your voice down.” I said in a hushed tone.r

He quickly covered his lips in recoil, making laugh slightly to myself.r

Well, I was in a good mood. The first combination was a success. Since I still had over 70 cores to spare, we might as well continue experinting and making many things.r

There were also many things I wanted to try.r
