Chapter 11: A different path

A few days after the events of Daniels amazing and terrifying weapon the family had been mauling over what had happened and maybe why, they tried to ask Daniel about what else he can remember during his time in the other world but he said he couldn't so that just made his parents sigh and say they couldn't do anything about it then.

Daniel was sitting in his room with the large crimson hammer on his bed as he just stared at it.

It was no lie when he said he didn't remember anything but he did fail to mention the many nightmares he has had since everyone came back. He doesn't know why but whenever he looks at his family guilt rises from his chest and into his throat threatening to spill out whenever they touch him with love and affection.

He shakes his head trying to rid himself of these thoughts as he looks back at the hammer sitting on his bed now and attempts to speak to it by using its title it spoke of before.

"Uhh oh hammer of creation and-" "Master you do not have to speak of that title, only the lesser may address me as such, You may refer to me a Frenzy, you have done so much for I couldn't dare to have you address me as anything but that."

It amazed Daniel how The hammer of creation and destr- Frenzy was so calm and subservient around him and it made him curious as to why he was such.

"Alright F-frezny" "Yes master?" "How is it we know each other?" "..." Daniel was taken aback when the hammer didn't respond and couldn't help but ask only for the hammer to reply. "Master before you...Came back you had given me 3 orders." He was curious as to what those orders were and why he would even give them, and why something as great as Frenzy would even carry them out as he continues. "The first order was that I wasn't allowed to tell you anything related to you're past as it is very...Unsettling. The second was to give you two options and the last was to protect you and your family until you gain a certain level of strength. These were his...Your last orders you have given me as you wished to start a new life with the shadow your past coming with you."

There was a lot to unpack there as Daniel couldn't figure out why he would do such a thing, could he have been a bad man during his 10 years? could he have done horrible things. He didn't know. So he sigh and sat down on his desk chair rubbing his head as he could feel a headache coming on and pulled it back to look at his hand. He didn't even recognize his own hand as it belonged to a stranger he didn't even know, and that made him even more sad.

The hammer felt his sadness and quickly spoke up again. "Master it wasn't that you were weak, Gods not even close it was just....You were very ashamed of what you became wished to sever all ties to you're former self...Including taking away your strength."

This didn't make Daniel feel any better but he tried to look on the bright side of things as he lets out a weak chuckle. "Heh guess I succeeded huh." "That you did" "And i'm guessing you won't be telling me how we met because it relates to my past?" "Right you are master, but if it makes you feel any better I am forever you're humble servant."

It sent mixed feelings to Daniel, On one hand he was glad to have a friend, on the other it didn't feel right, him having a servant for life, He wondered what he did to have inspired such loyalty but he put it off for now since he wasn't going to get any answers. He then Thought of one of the other two requests He had made. "What about these two options you said before? What did you mean by that?" At this the hammer pulsed while glowing red and spoke. " It is simple master, Do you wish to choose the path of destroyer, or creator?" Daniel was confused as this as Frenzy continued. "The you back then chose the path of destroyer, Overcoming everything with sheer force and rage....The path he loath...but this path would provide you with an opportunity to gather strength quickly to help you're family Or you can choose a different path. A more safer and slower path that can have many benefits." Daniel finishes his sentence for him knowing what he's suggesting. "A creator."

"Yes, or more commonly known as the path of production." "How would this help me get stronger, by relying on weapons and armour?" "Yes buts it's not just that, this path can help in many different ways, Trading, gifting, protecting others by giving them the means to fend for themselves if you are not here." The more Frenzy spoke the more Daniel was liking this path, He remembered how fun it was to Examine his sisters spear but also took the time to look at the rest of his family's equipment and noticed that apart from dad having an C rank great sword that had a low rank light affinity the rest of his and his mother and sisters equipment was just E rank which was weird as that shouldn't be something befitting of their class and level.

He let out a sigh before he opened his Status panel, Focusing his eyes on the class section until a new panel open up Showing the many many Classes he could select as he first and Main class. split into two groups, Combat and production.

[Combat Classes]

Swordsman Knight

Blunt weapon user (Unique) Tank (Unique)

Mage Sorcerer(Unique)

Scout Assassin

Archer Gunman

Poison user Whip user

Stalker Hunter

Spear Wielder

[Production Classes]

blacksmith Enchanter(Unique)

Alchemist Rune maker

Poison maker Crafter(Unique)

Trap maker

Daniel saw all these Classes and was blown away by what Frenzy said next. "Most people only get a few chooses to choose from 4 is the most for combat class I've seen like knight , Hunter or tank even less for production since its very hard to acquire the recognition to be given the option for the class."

That left Daniel dumb founded because that would mean His missing memories give him the opportunity to pick any of these Classes. He was curious about why choosing a class was important though and so he asked Frenzy if he knew why.

"Master choosing a Class is very important because it gives you certain skills to be able to work well with you're class. For instance, if you take the combat section and choose archer as you're main class you're presented with Two skills known as Far sight and night vision which can grow along with you, and then for the blacksmith class in production it gives you a skill that works well for it and also for combat known as Flame Resistance which is very self introduced judging by its name.

I see that you have many choices to choose from in you're, You right in guessing it being liked to you're Old self, Although I've never seen as many Unique option as you're first class before. It just goes to show how amazing you are Master!" It showed joy at seeing the Unique options as Daniel felt a bit embarrassed being complimented by such a powerful being like Frenzy.

He then looked at the three unique Choices and found them interesting if what frenzy was saying was true about his Missing decade and You're actions influencing your Class options. His eyes looked at the two unique classes in his production list and his wandered to Crafter. He didn't know why but he liked the sound of this class a lot, Although blacksmith also looked appealing he didn't think it would be a good idea to be tied down to a single Production type.

"Do you think Crafter sounds like a Class that is proficient in more than one type of production?" The hammer took a moment to think before "I see you are thinking of taking the slower path master, This would make the old you very happy." He smiled at that as he took a deep breath and pressed his finger on the crafter option. Soon a bright rainbow colour light flowed through out his body as he Status updated along with his skills, Which reminded him finally that his had two skills he didn't check. and so took the time to open them all up.

One of the new skills was a common one

[Skill: Observation]

[Rank: D]

[Level: 10 (Max)]

[Description: To see the Status of all things.]

This was weird to him as he remembers his father saying it takes a long time to level up skills regardless of rank and to see his was maxed out was all the more weird. The second one was also a weird one

[Skill: Regeneration]

[Rank: A]

[Level: 10 (Max)]

[Description: Using mana the body can be Produce cells of all kinds at a quicker rate, Healing the body of any wounds. The larger the wound the more mana needs to be consumed. Can not regenerate loss of Stamina.]

This was also a weird skill which made him feel weird since body skills required practical use to level meaning he had to have gotten hurt more to level it up but he quickly shook his head and continued to look at the other 2 skills quickly

[Skill: Wrath}

[Rank: S]

[Level: 10(Max)]

[Description: Anger is the gift and curse of all races, Sometimes it can lead to the downfall of others and sometimes can be used to fuel people. This skill converts rage into strength, Mana and can shut down pain and endow others and things to strengthen them 2 times. For physical stats the most this skill can multiply is 3 times over and for mana related stats 2 times over. If strengthening others, it will take away all their rational thoughts and have them go into a berserker like state. weapons may break under the amount of rage channelled into them. Anger comes easy to the user in almost all things requiring physical action such as combat and crafting. May change items during crafting process. ]

[Skill: Iron will(Evolvable)]

[Rank: C]

[Level: 1]

[Description: Converts mana into making hands As strong as Iron to help create things also imbues them to make items 20% Stronger than usual.]

Seeing the last skill made sense since he hasn't had it before but the Wrath skill worried him. Anger, a strange yet familiar skill to him as his breath was shaky thinking about it. not to mention it was S rank which was even more frightening. He felt a connection to this Wrath skill but he doesn't know what due to his missing memories.

He was so distracted by the skill he didn't notice The hammer looking at it as well silently thinking.

{Oh master, You can give up you're strength, You're memories and you're titles.....but you can 𝐍𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐀𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐫....}
