"So? What do you think? It's comfortable, isn't it? You don't have to be so impressed, because I'm not the one who made this armor." Zahir said proudly with his arms crossed as he appreciated the armor the tall man in front of him was wearing.
Kaizen was motionless, static in one place since he put on the armor with the help of the dwarf.
The armor that Zahir ntioned was perfect for him. It was a classic dieval knight's armor, full of tal plates and not that very comfortable adornnts. Despite this, all the joints were flexible and did not limit Kaizen's movents so much, which was perfect for a spear fighter.
On the back of the armor, there was a red cape. Kaizen didn't totally reject this idea, mainly because he was too handso by his look in the mirror.
"Oh! I almost forgot the helt!" shouted Zahir, who took the helt that was on his side and handed it to Kaizen.
The rookie looked at the helt that had a red feather on its top.
'Um... That's eye-catching.'
When he put it on and looked at himself in the mirror, he realized that he looked extrely similar to one of the Myth2 champions, a Tank type character nad Lunko. In a way, it was satisfying for Kaizen to look in the mirror and see himself wearing sothing he normally only saw people wearing in movies or gas.
[Item: Wen Chiu's Plate Armor
This is an excellent piece of work by a blacksmith nad Wen Chiu made in the Lost Dungeons. The user of this work can feel the great rage that Wen Chiu devoted to this armor while forging it.

Rating: Primal
Durability: 148/150; Defense: 65; Movent Speed: -5%
Requirents: Level 20 or higher, more than 50 Strength (Attack).
Weight: 200]
The armor was nice, however, uncomfortable in so spots. Furthermore, the level required to wear it was still too high for Kaizen to even dare to do so.
"I don't think that's quite what I'm looking for. The joints are stiff, and I'm not saying that the plates are heavy, but I can barely move with it." Kaizen said he put it on just 15 seconds ago after removing the helt.
He would not admit to Zahir that he did not have enough level to wear a Primal Rank armor.
The blacksmith dwarf was not bothered by Kaizen's rejection of Wen Chiu's Plate Armor, as it was very common for people to not accept the first armor offered to them.
Zahir also knew that at so point during the search for the ideal armor, people usually went back to the first armor offered or found a favorite one.
However, Kaizen and Zahir spent the next whole hour searching for an armor that seed perfect for the newcor, and after such a long search, they found absolutely nothing.
The armor they were looking for should be light enough to not slow Kaizen down and strong enough to withstand attacks from the powerful Steel Claw Mantis Gods that inhabit the Howling Draughts. Finding sothing of such quality in a Starting City was an almost impossible search. However, just as Zahir's Shop was not just any store, Zahir was not just any blacksmith. If his custor wanted armor with specific requirents, and he had no such armor, he would make that armor for the custor.
After Kaizen tried on the fifteenth armor, his eyes were already sleepily, showing his fatigue. It seed that all the armor they tried had sothing that bothered him so much that he could not ignore it. After all, he intended to wear this new armor for a long ti. At that mont of hopelessness, he looked at the dwarf, who this ti didn't even try to cheer him up about the new armor.
"Uaah! Zahir, thanks for the help today, but I will try to look for other armor in so other stores tomorrow. There must be at least one armor that fits what I want in this whole city. I bet it will be like looking for a needle in a haystack..." said Kaizen after yawning.
The blacksmith didn't seem to like that idea. Zahir glared angrily at his custor and said:
"Go to your ho and co back tomorrow. By then, I will have brand-new armor that fits what you are asking for. If you want strong, sturdy, lightweight armor, there is no other blacksmith in this town who can provide you with, no one other than ."
This confidence from the dwarf was sothing Kaizen appreciated, so he agreed and left the store. As soon as he left, he already began to hear the sounds of hamring once again.
Since it was also getting late in the real world, Kaizen logged out, ate dinner, and went to sleep.
When he woke up the following day, he wanted to log into Rise Online imdiately. Klaus Park was hooked on this new VRMMORPG.
Besides, the idea of being able to make a lot more money playing and having fun than working in central New York in a boring office and a crappy job was extrely appealing. However, Klaus knew that to try his luck with this possibility, he would have to quit his formal job and take a chance on his fate. It was too difficult a decision to make in such a hurry, even more so with $2 million in debt.
As Klaus thought about this in his morning shower, he realized he had spent more ti under the shower than usual. Even so, it was still 6:30 in the morning. At least today, he was not late, so he would have ti to eat breakfast.
When he arrived in the kitchen, he was surprised by an unusual sight. Michael and Chun Park sat at the small table with four chairs next to the refrigerator.
Michael was supposed to have left ho for work more than two hours ago, so what was he doing at ho at that ti in the morning?
"Hey, good morning... What are you doing still here, Dad? Are you coming in later today?" Klaus asked as he approached, soon noticing that both Michael and Chun were looking at a white paper on the table.
When they heard Klaus' voice, they were clearly more shaken.
His mother managed to disguise this well, and her signal was just to avert her eyes. However, Michael was soone more expressive, so he turned back and said:
"G-good morning, champ. I'm f-following today..."
"What's that?" Klaus pointed with his chin to the paper on the table.
"That? It's nothing, don't worry. Just a utility bill." Michael crumpled the paper.
Klaus Park clenched his eyes. "Dad, I'm not a kid anymore, you don't have to lie to . Ard isn't even here, and he should be awake by now. You always let him miss school when sothing important happened, so tell what's the matter."
At that mont, Michael didn't know what to answer or how to lie. He looked at Chun, who nodded positively with a mournful smile.
"It's a letter from the bank, Klaus." The balding man replied and held out the crumpled paper to his son. "Rember the mortgage we took out on the house three years ago? The Hospital contacted the bank and allowed our house to be taken until we paid off the entire debt..."
