‘Ah, should I try to catch the boss here instead?’
With that thought, my gaze turned in one direction. If I kept walking along this path, I would come across a huge door, and I thought the boss would probably be there.
‘Surely good items will drop, right?’
The level of items dropped by the Blue Stone Golem was quite high, so the boss was likely to give even better items. Moreover, the thought that I wouldn’t be able to enter this dungeon again after today kept tempting me.
‘If I catch the boss, I’ll be monopolizing it all by myself.’
Monopolizing.
What a wonderful word!
On the other hand, if I die, the set items might drop, and all my hard work so far could be in vain. The greater the risk, the greater the reward, right? That’s why it was difficult to make a decision easily.
[Friend ‘Raz’-nim has logged in.]
“Huh?”
While I was lost in thought for a moment, a message appeared in front of me. Logged in? The first thought that came to mind with her logging in was the promise I made to make her a bow.
‘I’ve got all the set items, so making a bow shouldn’t be difficult.’
[Friend ‘Raz’-nim has requested a conversation. Will you accept?]
“She’s quick.”
Impressed by her determination to find me as soon as she logged in, I accepted the conversation request.
[Connected to the conversation.]
And from the message window that said the connection was established, I heard Raz’s familiar voice.
━I got all the materials. Where are you?
“Hunting.”
━Ah, is that so? Are you busy?
“Not really. Where are you?”
I had various thoughts in a short period of time, but since I had already promised to make it for her, I intended to resolve it as quickly as possible.
━Of course, I’m in the village.
“I’ll be there soon. See you at the north gate.”
━North gate? Okay. I’ll be waiting.
[The conversation has ended.]
“Tsk.”
Well, is this better?
Since I’m going back to the village anyway, it would be better to buy some potions and then challenge the boss. If I only had potions, my chances of winning would be more certain. After all, without magic power potions, my stamina would run out after using Giant’s Sprint a few times.
“How much would a magic power potion cost?”
Scratching my head, I headed out of the dungeon. It wasn’t that far from here to the village, so I just had to make Raz’s bow and come back……
‘But it’ll be a tight squeeze to clear the boss too……’
Should I extend my playtime?
Anyway, after getting out of the dungeon, I ran for a while and arrived at the north gate. There were fewer players than I expected at the north gate, so I could easily find Raz who was waiting, and it seemed like it was the same for her.
“Oh? You’ve completely changed your equipment in a day? It looks cool.”
“It is cool.”
Apart from this answer, I couldn’t help but feel proud since it was equipment with truly amazing stats.
“Give me the recipe and materials. I have to go back.”
“Ah, you were hunting.”
Nodding, Raz requested a trade with me and began to place materials I had never seen before, one by one. Why are there so many materials? As soon as the trade was completed, I was able to examine the materials Raz had given me one by one.

“…… ……”
Why did she gather so much?
I looked at Raz with a slightly weary gaze. If she had gathered these materials in just one day, she must have bought them from other people. How much did she spend? However, Raz didn’t seem to mind as she spoke to me with a bright smile.
“I spent over 2 gold buying these.”
‘2 gold……’
Anyway, it was impressive. Wasn’t 2 gold almost 400,000 won? It was a little unfortunate that the leather was the Wild Boar Leather we got yesterday.
‘I guess she didn’t have enough money to buy leather too.’
“Ah, but what’s your crafting rank?”
“……?”
Didn’t I tell her?
“C rank.”
“What? C rank?!”
Ignoring Raz who exclaimed in surprise at my crafting rank, I took out the hammer and anvil from my item window. Suddenly, I thought that if I replaced this hammer and anvil with better ones, it would be good for my crafting.
I’ll have to change them someday when I get the chance.
Anyway, after taking out the hammer and anvil, I decided to start crafting the recipe.
“Skill Use. Dwarven Weapon Crafting.”
[Using Dwarven Weapon Crafting Skill.]
[Please select the weapon you want to craft.]
A list of craftable items appeared. The first item on the list was Recipe Crafting.
“Recipe Crafting.”
[There are currently two types of weapons that can be crafted with the recipe.]
[1. Burning Sword.]
[2. Wind Longbow.]
“Wind Longbow.”
[Please place the materials to be used on the anvil.]
Come to think of it, how many hammer strikes does this longbow require? I was curious, but I placed all the materials Raz gave me on the anvil. Since she gave me the materials according to the number required by the recipe, there was no shortage.
However……
[Materials have been placed. The number of hammer strikes is determined by the grade of the materials placed.]
[Related stat Skill (35) is being applied.]
[The number of hammer strikes is reduced. Final number of strikes: 109.]
[Beep – The number of hammer strikes has been exceeded. You cannot craft this weapon with your current abilities.]
“……Huh.”
Things like this happen in life.
‘Did Raz give me this potion anticipating this?’
Potion of Concentration.
If I drink this, my Skill stat will increase by 10. And if that happens, the number of hammer strikes will be reduced to 99, allowing me to craft the weapon.
“Why? Is there a problem?”
“No, but why did you give me this potion?”
“Potion of Concentration? If your Skill stat increases, the weapon’s damage will also increase.”
“…… ……”
I nodded at Raz’s matter-of-fact tone. In short, it was a lucky break. If it weren’t for this Potion of Concentration, I wouldn’t have been able to make it even if I wanted to.
[You have consumed the potion ‘Potion of Concentration’.]
[Skill stat increased by 10 for 20 minutes.]
Alright, let’s make it now.
After drinking the Potion of Concentration and trying again, as expected, the number of hammer strikes was reduced to 99. And since 99 was a craftable number, I swung the hammer without hesitation.
Clang, clang-
‘Hmm, should I use Intuition too?’
With these materials and my Intuition added, it seemed like an amazing item would be created. But is it necessary to go that far? I briefly looked at Raz, and with her expectant gaze meeting mine, I let out a small sigh.
“Why the sigh?”
“I don’t know.”
Naturally, Raz, who didn’t understand the meaning of my sigh, tilted her head.
‘Well, it wouldn’t be bad to make her indebted to me with this.’
Moreover, I was curious about what kind of item would be created.
Clang!-
Starting from the 90th strike, I used Intuition. Thanks to this, the light from the anvil went beyond yellow and even burst into a golden light, and I could hear gasps of admiration from beside me.
Clang!-
On the other hand, I was continuously using Intuition to maintain the golden light for the remaining few strikes. Usually, even if it turned golden, after about 5 more strikes, it would return to its original blue light. If it returned to blue light here, it would be almost a failure, so my concentration was at its peak.
Clang!-
[Hammering is complete. Will you complete the crafting?]
‘Phew, that’s a relief.’
Fortunately, my efforts weren’t in vain, as I managed to finish with a golden light.
“Complete.”
[Piercing Wind Longbow has been crafted.]
What a nice name.
The completed Wind Longbow was a wonderful weapon even in my eyes. A bow made of wood. However, the center and ends were covered and decorated with thin iron, and especially in the center, a green gem was embedded.
“Inspect.”
[Piercing Wind Longbow] (Magic)
Description: A longbow crafted with a combination of Magic-Infused Iron Ingot and Wind Stone, based on Elf Tree Lumber. In particular, the power of the Magic-Infused Iron Ingot and Wind Stone harmonizes with each other, creating a perfect combination, and this longbow is even imbued with the craftsman’s soul.
Attack Power: 153 Magic Attack Power: 61
Durability: 130/130
*Penetration Probability increased by 25p.
‘Wow~’
The attack power is tremendous. 153? Did I really make this weapon? The attack power of the longsword I’m currently holding is 59. A weapon with more than double the attack power has been born.
‘As expected, the materials need to be good, right?’
Naturally, the stats also increased considerably.
Strength and Stamina increased, and Agility increased by a whopping 18. Just by looking at these stats, the material cost of 2 gold wasn’t a waste for this weapon.
“How is it? Did it turn out well?”
“It’s more than just well.”
As I answered, I initiated a trade and handed over the bow. Raz, who received the bow I gave her, quickly took it out from her item window and checked the stats, then suddenly rushed towards me.
“Kyaa! Thank you!”
“W-wait a minute.”
Raz’s sudden action was flustering. Putting aside the gratitude, why is she hugging me?
[Beep – The other party is attempting excessive contact.]
[Would you like to send a warning message?]
“…… ……”
So this is how the warning message appears.
While I was looking at the warning message, Raz, who had already separated from me, took something out of her item window. It was something that looked like a crystal, and after taking it out, Raz spoke in a cheerful voice.
“It’s an Enhancement Stone.”
“You’re going to enhance it?”
“Yeah. Enhancement should be used on weapons like this.”
Once again, the thought that she had a lot of money crossed my mind. If you add the cost of the Enhancement Stone to the material cost, it would be at least 7 gold. Did she perhaps exchange the money she earned from selling the dungeon into gold? Then it would make sense……
“Enhancement Start.”
Flash-
Along with that, the Enhancement Stone shone. Raz took the shining Enhancement Stone to the bow I made, and soon the bow also started to shine.
‘Just break already.’
But despite my wish, Raz’s bow was emitting a soft light. It seemed like the enhancement had succeeded.
“Yes! Success!”
‘I can’t believe it succeeded.’
“Do you want to see it?”
Raz handed me the enhanced bow. Honestly, I was curious about the enhanced stats, so I checked the bow’s stats.
[+1 Piercing Wind Longbow] (Magic)
Description: A longbow crafted with a combination of Magic-Infused Iron Ingot and Wind Stone, based on Elf Tree Lumber. In particular, the power of the Magic-Infused Iron Ingot and Wind Stone harmonizes with each other, creating a perfect combination, and this longbow is even imbued with the craftsman’s soul.
Attack Power: 168 (+15) Magic Attack Power: 67 (+6)
Durability: 130/130
*Penetration Probability increased by 25p.
*Enhancement Option (1): Attack Speed increased by 10.
‘It’s not bad, I guess.’
But considering the cost of the Enhancement Stone, it’s hard to say it’s that good. If the price of the Enhancement Stone was only 50 silver, I wouldn’t even be thinking like this. 5 gold. In other words, for an enhancement worth 200,000 won, it wasn’t very satisfying.
“I’ll say it again. Thank you.”
“Don’t mention it. I said I’d make it for you.”
Raz’s attitude of sincerely thanking me was burdensome.
“By the way, what are you going to do now? If you’re okay with it, do you want to hunt together?”
“No, I have something to do.”
“Something to do? Should I help you?”
“Do you even know what I’m doing?”
“Well, you’re going hunting, right?”
Raz replied as if it was obvious. By the way, she’s offering to help me hunt? It seems like she’s lost her mind after getting a new weapon. Anyway, the dungeon I was going to was owned by Loina, so I couldn’t take Raz there as I pleased.
Not that I had any intention of taking her in the first place.
“You don’t need to help me, so just share a dungeon with me.”
“Dungeon? Ah, okay. I’ll contact you as soon as I find one.”
I left a message for Raz, who said she would contact me, and started preparing to catch the boss.
