Sometimes Foreshadowing is Obvious
Crafting time.
I don't need anything else really, just me and my ' Tools '. I'm very curious if there is anything that increases alchemical power, but overall it likely won't be too important... it would probably be something like a mortar and pestle or some sort of furnace. Any who it's time to get to work.
I think my best option will be to start from the bottom up, that means boots, then leggings, then chest piece, then cloak, then accessories. No helmet, as the Halo and Horns take up the slot there. Boots are pretty easy to make considering I already have a really good idea on what I'm going to be doing, that being double jumps and rocket boots. Super easy, but before that... I want better material. Something more than just Synthetic Stygian Bronze, a highlight future you could call it. The only idea I have is some sort of monster material.
I pondered for about an hour on what type of material I should use, Wyvernian Bone Plate or Draconian Scales... either one would produce a satisfactory outcome, but eventually my attention was taken away from that. In the small area I was in laid a chunk of broken stone, sitting on top was what I could only describe as " A Harpy ". It was a small lady, wings for arms, bird talons for legs, and covered in feathers. So, what the fuck. Why is there a harpy here?
- " Hello? "
* Squawk! *
So it doesn't talk. Well... System, Analysis!
| Grand Blue Harpy |
| Level 10 Avian |

| Desc. What one could describe as " The Scavenger of the Sky ", usually they are very week alone and instead rely either on numbers to fend off predators or rarely they hover around strong beings to pick off scraps of meat from hunts. They also indiscriminately attack humans. |
Well that's bullshit, it isn't attacking me right now... unless it either sees me as a predator or is hovering around me for scraps. But like how I did with Dice I'm probably just going to give it something to eat, nothing to lose besides a couple silvers. So I purchased some jerky from the PM and handed it to the Harpy, with a small chirp it ate it up and immediately flew away. So I guess I lost a couple silvers.
Back to topic again then, what sort of material could I use... I haven't a clue on what would be better, I could try and make multiple variations with different accent materials... but that would cost a huge sum of moolah, rather then that I'd normally gather something from any various places... like the Corruption, Blight, Crimson Plan... anything. But I can't leave the event zone or I'll get kicked out, and beyond that I can barely leave the base without an escort... I barely know that place as it is, I'm sure as hell not going to get anyone caught up in my schemes.
Now... what could I d-

Oh, the harpi-
There is more, uh oh.
Four total harpies line their stone perch, staring deep into my soul almost. I've eaten Harpy before, it tasted horrible... don't know why but that thought drenches itself into my mind. Maybe I'm just a little hungry. I pulled out some food from the PM, fried fish. I go in to take a bi-
* Snap *
Huh? Where did... oh. Oh. Mother fucker. You stole my... ugh, whatever. Looks like I got to feed all of these guys before I eat my own food. Dumb birds. Fried fish for all of you, I don't know if it's good for you but whatever... it will fill you up and then I can eat. After all of them were handed their own meal, they chirped and flew off. Alright, time to enjoy my own meal. Well, it was pretty good. Not perfect though, I remember the fish down at Morin tasting way better. This fish is... Homeraina Cod? That's a dumb name.
Well at least, that's ov-
* Squawk! *
Fuck. I jinxed myself didn't I... there is eight of them now.
Well, they aren't bothering me as of right n-
* Squawk! *
They are just going to keep doing that huh, well.
More fish and more chirping, the Harpies flew off... I swear if more come I'm blowing their fucking heads off. That neither here or there but it's getting ridiculous. Now, material... I'm thinking that since Mithril is solidified Mana, Synthetic Stygian Bronze being made of it... maybe I could change the Mana that makes up the Mithril. Air or storm type magic would be cool, bu-

SHUT UP ABOUT THE HARPIES
Alright, whew... ok, so... I'm thinking that a mixture of blossom, blood, and storm would create a really cool effect... combined with the rocket boot modules and the double jump it should turn out with a very unique look. Using all those mana types at once though might not be good enough to produce something like Mithril... so it may become something like Crimson bars. The only question is... how d-

Sigh... alright. Well, I guess now is a good time to test out Nebula Fantasm. After pulling it from it's case, the singular harpy there squeaked in curiosity. The breathing rifle contorted the various scales upon it, like a cat in anticipation... that being it looks ready to pounce, that simile doesn't exactly work well huh... well, fuck it. I aimed the gun square at the harpies head, with an * Eek! * it hid behind it's arms.
| Warning: This may reduce your reputation with Harpies |
... Why, why would I care? What the fuck would a harpy do for me?
| Eventually harpies grants access to an advanced form of storm magic. |
My face contorted hearing that sentence... that benefit would be such a boon... and yet... it doesn't even seem worth it. Do I... ugh... fine. I'll leave the damn thing in one piece system. Are you happy?
| Very. I want you to develop your relations with all sorts of NPCs. |
I'll do that on one condition then , how about that system?
| I'm... well, I'm not sure... what condition? |
Bring back Asi.
| I can't just warp her to you, or vice versa. |
Why? Cause the Demon Lord's got her?
| Well... I can't tell you that. |
OK well, that information alone has peeked my curiosity... whatever.
I'll get her back eventually.
