Chapter-3

1 Month Later...

Kai is still inside the tutorial and for the last one month he couldn't forge a sword.

*THUMP-THUMP-THUMP-THUMP*

Kai is striking the hot Iron and his skill hammer Precision is helping him do it more efficiently now.

"Good... Remember the formula, Strike-" The Old man started speaking but he was immediately

"I know, Strike Fast and Strike Hard while the iron is hot." Kai replied with a serious expression.

[Strength +1]

[Endurance +1]

[Precision Hammering Activated]

'I am stuck in this fucking tutorial... It's been one month, I haven't slept for a single second because no matter how much tired I get, I get back to the same body condition after every 24 hours.

I start to feel hungry as the day goes by, but as soon as 24 hours are completed, my stomach get's full automatically.

I have been hammering iron for one month but my muscles looks all the same, yet my strength and endurance is increasing. Status...'

*THUMP-THUMP-THUMP*

'Everyday... I try to make a sword, but either the sword breaks or I make it too thick or too thin.

As soon as I do a single fuck up, I have to restart and this old man looks at me with that stupid expression.

Crafting needs too much focus, Everytime I want to change the shape of the iron, I have to place it inside the furnace for a short time and then take it out to hammer it.

If I take it out and continuously hammer it without any stops, the iron will break.

Since my strength has increased, I now have to deal normal hits instead of hard hits.' Kai thought as he continued to strike the sword with full focus.

*Cough-Cough*

"Hit it more properly, You fucking idiot. Don't you have strength in your arms ?" The old man shouted.

'At first I thought this guy was teaching me... But, as time passed by I noticed that he is making me nervous and this tutorial is testing my focus.

At first, I wasn't able to understand it... But, I came to peace with it. Now, I just ignore what he says and continue to do what I see right.' Kai thought as he carefully picked up the sword from the Anvil and brought it to the grinder.

*Zzzzzzzzzzzz*

As soon as he pressed the paddle, the grinder started and Kai slowly placed his Sword's edge over it to make it sharp.

"You are doing it wrong... You have to take it slow, Start from the beginning." The old man shouted.

But, Kai ignored him and continued to sharpen the sword from both edges.

*Zzzzzzzzzzzz*

After sharpening the sword from both edges, Kai placed his fingers on the edge and gave it a light swipe.

*Cut*

"Yep, Works." Kai spoke as he immediately placed his finger in his mouth to stop the bleeding.

He then walked upto the handle bar that he had made 2 weeks back from a special kind of leather that the Old man gave him and picked it up from the table.

"You have waited long enough, My beautiful." Kai spoke with a smile as he placed it on the handle and locked it in with a screw.

*Click*

"Here... I have made it." Kai spoke as he gave the sword to the Old man.

"Hmmm...? The Balance of this sword is stupid, handle is made out of leather but the design is still very uncomfortable and lastly the edges are still not sharp enough to even cut wood properly.

But, It's a sword... I will acknowledge it." The Old man replied with a smile.

[Returning Back]

.....

Kai's Body immediately Disappeared and re-appeared in his own apartment.

"I-I am back ?" Kai asked with a confused expression as he looked around and noticed the trash bags.

Kai immediately looked down and noticed his phone lying on the ground.

Without waiting for a single second... He picked it up and noticed that it was out of charge.

"My charger..." Kai spoke as he spotted the charger and immediately plugged it in.

He then walked upto his door and removed the chair slowly.

"Let's see..." Kai spoke as he slowly opened the door and took a peek outside.

...

No one was in the hallway and it was completely silent.

*Ringggg*

Suddenly, Kai's phone started ringing.

Kai immediately ran upto it and noticed that it was his mother.

"Hello ? Mom ?" Kai asked as he immediately picked up the phone.

[K-Kai ? I-Is that you really ?] She asked from the other side.

"Yeah, You called me... Who else do you think it is ?" Kai replied.

[*Sob-Sob* Kai... You are alive. My baby, It's been 3 months and I haven't heard anything from you.

Your phone was going switch off as well. Please come home Kai. The Monsters are roaming everywhere... Your brother has obtained some kind of super powers, he can use magic now Kai.

He will protect us all... Please come back honey.] His mother spoke as she cried out.

"T-Three months ?" Kai spoke as he looked at the date on his phone and noticed that it was 31st March.

[Kai... Can you hear me ?] She asked with a worried tone.

"Mom... I-I can't come home right now. I will call you back after sometime okay ?" Kai spoke.

[But-]

Kai cutted the call and immediately started looking at the previous month's headlines in his phone.

[Monster Rampage From Other Dimensions]

[Military grade weapons have been proven useless.]

[Guoi City Nuked but monsters survived.]

Kai took a seat and continued to scroll through the news.

[Players have appeared.]

[These individuals can use different types of magical abilities.]

[Governments fell Down.]

[Stock market Crashed.]

[Players Have formed Guilds.]

[Government Regained it's Power.]

[National Player Association on the Rise.]

[President is a Player ?]

[Peace Has been achieved, Dungeons closed.]

[New dungeon Appeared In the Metro station of Skylyn City.]

...

"What the fuck happened in the last 3 Months ?" Kai asked with an utterly confused expression.
