If you can't decide... then f*ck it let's volt in! Let's combine them all! 😂😂😂😂😂😂
-------------------------
Upon reaching the door of our home, Soi Fon struggled as she didn't want to be seen being carried by the others like a princess, but her struggle was futile as Vergil already went to the back door and brought her to her room.
"You don't have to carry me like that, Vergil." Soi Fon said with a pout.
"Can't help it. Look, you are cute even when you pout." I replied making Soi Fon go 'hmph'
"Well, I'll take my leave now and take your rest. I'm sure you're exhausted." I stood up and left Soi Fon who seems to be waiting for something. I then approached her and kissed her forehead as she seemed satisfied.
I then went to my room to get the rewards from earlier.
[Fight a God
Difficulty: hard
Description: Defeat a God using Martial arts and swordsmanship only
Rewards: Smokin' Sexy Style[because of breaking through and sticking to martial arts and swordsmanship] (SS-rank Blacksmith Inheritance package, 1 C-rank magic)]
I then checked my inventory to see the all the tickets I have.
1x SS-rank Blacksmith Inheritance
1x B-rank random weapon ticket
1x C-rank Random Magic
1x C-rank ticket
1x D-rank random magic
4x E-rank random ticket
Satisfied with the tickets I've earned over the years, I then stared at the blacksmith inheritance, I don't know what to expect of it.
I then looked at the description of the inheritance ticket.
SS-rank Blacksmith Inheritance package - gain the inheritance of the Blacksmith that'll be summoned and be trained by them without time limit, also you will gain the magic that is connected to the blacksmith itself.
'Eh? Just like my training with my masters?' I then used the inheritance ticket as my head started aching for a minute as 2 magic appeared in my mind and I instantly knew who's going to be teaching me about forging also, a portal appeared in front of me. I hesitated for a bit, but decided to walk in as I've already used the package. No use crying over spilt milk or ticket I should say.
I opened my eyes as I saw myself sitting in the middle of a dojo. I then spread out my observation haki to find out about my surroundings.
I sensed a barrier blocking my observation haki downwards and got my attention. I then used my Ultimate eye to check for any peculiarities in the room. After a few minutes, I found the entrance to the path downstairs by bending the middle candle in the wall.
I then started heading downstairs, after a few hours of walking, I can't seem to reach my destination as it felt like I am going down a never ending loop of stairs. I just kept ealking without care, good thing hunger was not a thing in this place.
I didn't know how much time after walking down the stairs that never seems to end... or so I thought as I saw the end of the stairs. I headed to the end of the stairs to be met with a tunnel, I continued walking into the tunnel which is only a short one as I can already see the end. After leaving the tunnel, I was met with a massive workshop.
There are a plethora of weapons in here, and in the middle of it all is a man striking an ingot with a hammer as sounds of clanging can only be heard from the room.
Seeing that I have nothing to do, watched on how is he turning the metal ingot into weapons, arrowheads, and etc.
After a long amount of time watching, he then stood up and saw his face, I thought it would be Archer Emiya, as the magic I've gained earlier is UBW and trace magic, but I feel different vibes from him, I then used my thought accelerator to think which version of Emiya is the person in front of me is. And it didn't fail me. A profile arrived in my mind as I saw the name of the person in front of me.
'Senji Muramasa, a once mortal blacksmith on par with the Gods.'
I then returned to reality when Muramasa spoke.
"Never knew there are still young'uns that knows patience, I expected you to stop halfway through." Muramasa said
"What do you mean? That never ending stairs? How long have I been walking in that stairs?" I asked, I didn't mind the time I spent in this place as it is only a second in the real world.
"That stairs was made by me, it will stop keeping you in a loop if you walked every one of the 10,000 steps in there, if you skipped once, stopped or go back, it will reset and you'll have to walk back from the start once more. If you don't have the patience to do it step by step, then the end result of your craft will always disappoint you no matter what you do." He said making me understand the purpose of that stairs.
"And it seems like you've already learned the patience required to do so. You're a craftsman aren't you?" Muramasa said which I didn't deny.
"Come, follow me. I'll show you the basics and watch it."
After that another 10 years have passed by in that space.
Muramasa taught me all he knows about smithing and territory creation. His mastery of his Territory Creation is so Godly that his workshop moves along with him and never stops following him.
I also gained the sword that made him famous... Tsumugari Muramasa, the realisation of Muramasa's ideal sword, the sword is one that can purge resentment, cut through bonds, fate, causality, and destiny, and slice through the idea of karma itself. It is the recreation of the Tsumukari, the sword that came out of Yamata no Orochi during the Age of Gods. And he created it. ON. THE. SPOT.
It also made me realize that not only did the inheritance help me learn the art of the flame, it also gave me the talent of the said person. meaning I have the talents of Senji Muramasa in terms of forging. He said that I've already surpassed him in every aspect and made me think: 'Was my father's talent in craftsmanship also passed down to me? If it does, then I can surpass him in being the greatest craftsman that have ever lived.'
Muramasa also warned me that the Tsumugari Muramasa is a dual-edged blade, it not only harms the enemies, but also the user. When Muramasa used it to destroy the Shimabara Hell reality marble, he perished because he is not a God and used a divine regalia. I can use it in exchange of my demonic powers, though it will drain me out for sure, I still have plenty of trump cards to deal with my enemies.
Staying with Muramasa is hellish, although I know that he is an old man but was summoned in the body of Shirou, the way he talks like a grumpy old man, knocks me off. He complains that if he ever gets to eat the rice with miso soup, then maybe living as spirit doesn't sound bad at all.
Seeing that I've learned everything I can from him. It is time to leave the place. I waved my hands to Muramasa as a portal opened and swallowed me whole.
"I never knew my last disciple could help me realize my biggest wish." As he looked at the final sword I created with a note as he picked it up and read it.
'I know you're regretting the fact that your greatest creation is a failure. Not because it made you perish after using it, but because even if it embodies your whole ideals, it turned out to be a cursed sword after all. So I made a new one. A sword that can cut through anything, be it fate, be it karma, or be it life itself. As for the name... You name it.'
He then smiled as he kept examining the sword that I forged as a gift.
-----
This is an experimental chapter, Part 1 of the Smithing arc. I could change it to Vergil instantly gaining experience alongside the magics and NP that Muramasa have. Who knows. Like I said, when in doubt? F*ck it. 😂😂
P.S. Is there a novel out there that is about a transmigrated E-sports manager? I have read many Esports novel rpg, but haven't found one that utilizes being a manager, like imagine bringing Topson to the scene early on, or like Taking faker from SKT.
The only one I found a novel that utilizes being a manager and being a good read was that Soccer/football/futbol novel where the MC is Tony Twain and he utilizes his knowledge and got the players to build a good team.
P.P.S. I updated it from inheritance to inheritance package, so he can gain Trace and UBW legally 😂
