MMORPG : Rebirth Of The Strongest Guild Master

Fatty kept acting like a drunk pirate and laughing loudly , the other contestants were visibly annoyed . However the live crowd in the collosseum were quite entertained , they liked that guy.

Finally the contestants were sorted to their stations, and started looking through all the materials that were provided for the competition.

Jhonny looked through the ingredients and was happy to see that iron and steel were indeed given , although small amounts. The amount was not enough to make a sword , but enough to make a dagger. Jhonny was happy.

What Jhonny did not know , was that his presence alone would make this event a complete disaster. Jhonny had a disastrous luck of -95 , He also had a attribute that gave his enemies twice his badluck , ie -190 luck , and allies half his badluck ie -47.5 badluck.

The moment he entered the forging competition , the AI classified everyone except Fatty Kalash as enemy , meaning they all got -190 luck. This was no longer badluck at this point , as anything beyond -100 had a 100% probability of happening.

Forging was highly dependent on luck , even though skill played a major part , in the virtual world where swords were literally made in minutes by forgers , the damage and grade of the sword was often decided by luck attribute that came into play while forging.

Fatty had a luck value of 78 , with Jhonny around it fell to 30.5 , which was not good , not too shabby either , however he was the only contestant with a positive luck value here. Everyone else , being applied with a -190 luck value , even if they had a +80 luck stat , they could not bring the negative effects below -100.

Everyone else had a luck stat of above -100 meaning , at the very slightest mistake in their forging technique , they would 100% see a damaged product.

This was going to become one of the most dreaded events in the history of the sport , headed towards certain doom. The prestigious forgers from across the world were going to have a nightmare of a day , and they were unaware of it.

The spirits were high , when the 24 hour competition started , everyone had a plan in mind about what they wanted to make , and started to work on something or the other.

Jhonny only knew one forging manual , it was a epic dagger forging design that had a 100% success rate , it was the only thing he could forge. Hence for him this competition had already concluded , all he could make was a epic dagger , should anyone forge semi legendary item , they would win. Should anyone forge a better epic item they would win. However , since it was out of his control he did not bother much with it , and focused on doing the one thing he could do .

Putting iron in the furnace , he added just the right amount of carbon powder and started to form the alloy.

Meanwhile , Fatty was banging his hammer on a red hot piece of iron , completely carefree , he was singing songs from pirates of the carribean and annoying the hell out of the participants around him , who could not focus on their work at all because of the guy's annoying singing.

Derek Ray : Well well , He sure is a jolly one eh? Look at him sing as he forges .

Lee Dixon : There is always a clown in the crowd Derek , I guess he is the clown of Japan.

Derek Ray : Well , I don't understand what he is forcing Derek , I think it will start to take shape in a while.

Lee Dixon : We will have to wait to see what he is forging , ohhhhhh , the contestant from Zimbabwe just broke his forging design from using too much strength , I think he would have to start again.

Derek Ray : Same happened with the contestant from Egypt , back to the drawing board young man , no mistakes in such a high stake competition.

Lee Dixon : I think the nerves are getting to them Derek , 200,000 people watching you work live , billion others worldwide , it's a lot of pressure , not everyone can shoulder it .

Derek Ray : Absolutely Lee , they still have time maybe they can pull it off. Oh! The metal cracked for the contestant from Sri Lanka as well , he has to start again too.

Lee Dixon : Forging is harder than it seems Derek , soo many contestants making mistakes soo early . Thankfully they have time , I would not know what to do if I made a mistake right at the end of the process.

Derek Ray : they are their countries respective chosen Lee , I'm sure they have enough experience to not make such rookie mistakes.

( Meanwhile , in the real world, the upside , elite tower )

Rudra felt like he would die from shame , everytime fatty acted like a half naked drunk pirate on tv , he felt like it was all his fault. When fatty made cringy pirate noises like " Rarrrr ". And said words like " Ahoy ". He thought the alcohol had really messed up his friends brain.

Every time fatty was on TV , the entire guild hall made pirate noises and cheered him on , however Rudra watched his every hammer strike with bated breaths. He was scared of the alcoholic slipping his hand and breaking his design. However soo far he had hung on in the competition without any disasters.

About 4-5 hours Into the competition , he was slowly starting to sober up and regain his calm as he worked with tenacity and precision now, Little by little Rudra's fears faded away.

However the most shocking part came a bit after the 6 hour point , where Jhonny boldly cleared his forging table , and started to take a nap! Apparently he was done with his forging and was now only waiting for the results to come out. Hence in a arena full of 200,000 people , Jhonny slept without care on his forging table, using the furnace nearby as a winter heater.

When other forgers saw Jhonny's cocky attitude they wanted to cough out blood , but they could not afford to be distracted as they unlike him had a long way to go.
