MMORPG: Rise of the Primordial Godsmith

"And thus, he decides to finally show up." Opening the door that led to the room they were staying in, Valyr was instantly greeted by a mocking voice, prompting him to bitterly smile in response. "What took you so long?"

"I was holed up in the Blacksmith Guild all this time." Staring at the man before him that had his arms crossed, Valyr faintly chuckled. "Doesn't my current appearance already make that obvious?"

"How would I know whether the items you brought along were forged or bought?" In response, Wells looked back at the young man with a raised eyebrow, only to let out a bit of laughter not long after as he put down his arrogant facade. "Man, keeping that up was hard."

"Anyways, it's been a while." Sharing a bit of laughter between the two of them, the man went ahead and embraced Valyr before proceeding to catch up on what the other side was doing during the time they had not seen each other.

"Seriously, you upgraded your armor set in preparation for the inheritance?" Listening to Valyr recount what he had done during the past few days, Wells' eyes widened in disbelief. "Hasn't your armor set already reached Epic grade or something?"

"It has." Valyr nodded, taking off the set of armor as he moved all of them to his portion of the room one by one. "However, we don't know what I might come across within the inheritance, so I enhanced my armor just for safe measure."

"How about the items you've been carrying on your back?" With Valyr moving back and forth from his part of the room to the main living area multiple times, it did not take long for Wells to notice the two other items on the young man's back aside from his spear.

In fact, seeing that there was another spear on Valyr's back, a few expectant thoughts popped up in the man's mind. Though, with the young man talking about the inheritance and how he was preparing for it, Wells eventually thought that Valyr had forged the spear for the inheritance.

Which was why Wells was left at a loss for words when the young man gave the other spear to him.

"One of them is something I might be using in the inheritance," replied Valyr with a slight grin, referring to the primitive gun he had made. "As for the other spear I brought along with me, it's naturally something I forged that was meant for you."

"This…" Feeling at a slight loss for words, Wells could only stare at the simple-looking spear that was given to him, thinking that its appearance was not much different from the metal spear he had been using all this time. However, with his senses being enhanced after ascending through the ranks, he knew that an immense amount of strength slumbered within the spear, just waiting for him to tap into it.

"…" Unsurprisingly, the man only became even more speechless once he took a look at the spear's stats. Being a massive improvement to the spear he was wielding before, Wells truly did not know what to say, even going so far as to faintly wonder whether his friend would charge him for the spear.

"With how I've been mostly forging stuff for myself and for money, I realized that I haven't really forged anything for you yet." Fortunately, such thoughts were non-existent in the young man's mind, instead feeling happy for his good friend for getting his hands on an incredibly good spear. "Because of that, you don't have to pay me anything back for this one."

At those words, Wells felt tears starting to well up around his eyes, inwardly questioning himself as to why he had gotten emotional all of a sudden. Nevertheless, he eventually let those tears flow, silently sobbing as the young man gave him some alone time.

…

"So, you gained a subclass from Elder Noel?" After Wells had stopped crying, the two of them continued where their conversation had left off, with Wells narrating to Valyr about what he had done in the Spearman Guild.

"Yeah." As he nodded in response, Wells thought about the other item Valyr had on his back, prompting him to ask about it in their conversation earlier. With the young man only telling him that it was a unique type of ranged weapon, he was forced to move onto another topic, talking about his experiences involving Noel with a slight grin.

"I don't know if you had anything to do it, but once people from the Spearman Guild found out that I had the True Spear Scholar class, Elder Noel instantly approached and offered me a subclass that would synergize with my current class well."

"Perhaps, you could even say that it's a better fit compared to the subclass you wanted to give me," added the man not long after, prompting Valyr to let out a faint chuckle in response.

"As long as you think it synergizes with your main class well, then that's great," said Valyr, only for a question to pop up in his mind not long after. "Speaking of which, where's Edward?"

"At the Spearman Guild." Hearing those words from Wells, the young man widened his eyes in slight surprise. Fortunately, just as he was about to ask why the kid was there, his good friend began to explain.

"After I had gotten the subclass from Elder Noel, I brought Edward to the Experience Pit just like you said," Wells told Valyr, to which the latter nodded as he continued to listen. "I don't know if this was the reason why you brought him in, but Edward is actually pretty good at combat with all things considered."

"He was so good, in fact, that Elder Noel, who decided to tag along since he had nothing else to do that day, decided to make Edward his direct disciple."

"Is that so?" At those words, Valyr did not know whether to laugh or cry. After all, according to his past life, the kid had picked up the way of the sword at first, only to comprehend a sword concept after that, beginning his journey to becoming the Grand Marshal of the Zeihardt Sovereignty.

However, perhaps as a joke by the heavens, or perhaps due to his influence, Edward had begun his journey in combat by picking up the way of the spear instead, which was something he and Wells were also following.

'I guess I've drastically changed the storyline of this world yet again.' Bitterly chuckling on the inside, Valyr could only let out a sigh as he and Wells continued their conversation, only stopping after both of them had fully caught up with what the other was doing.
