Master Of Shadow Fabrics (1)

Kira looked at the destroyed golem, then at Atlas and nodded silently.

–You're going back to the Dra'Myr, aren't you? Peace and talk to my mentor the blacksmith, right? It's time to use these resources.

Atlas thought about it.

–Yes, but first let's explore the area a bit. I'm sure there's something else useful here.

Kira smiled.

– You always need to find something useful. Okay, let's take a look.

They began to explore the remains of the destroyed forge. In the floor, right at the entrance to the central hall, they found a small niche hidden behind fragments of stone. Inside it was an ancient map drawn on worn leather.

– Is it something important? – Kira asked, picking up the card.

Atlas examined her carefully.

When Atlas took the "Ancient Master's Forge Gate" card, the system immediately flashed a message:

[System Notification]

[The Fire Forge Dungeon is unavailable.]

[Level 40 is required for access.]

Atlas stopped, looked at the map, and sighed heavily. He knew it was an important place, but level 40 was far away. He looked at Kira, who was standing next to him, watching his reaction.

–So my spirit is still weak. – He said, putting the map back into his bag: –This dungeon is not for us at the moment. And I'm not sure if I'm ready to meet with those inside.

Kira nodded, realizing that Atlas was right. It would be dangerous to go through such dungeons without the required strength level.

– Well, then, since we're not allowed to go there, it's time to pack up!

Atlas stood in place, watching as Kira packed her things and prepared to travel to Dra'Myr. She quickly gathered up all her tools and turned to him with a smile.

– I will go to my blacksmith teacher's Dra'myr and meet the Master of Shadow Fabrics. You won't be able to get into the Fire Forge with that level anyway. –Kira glanced at Atlas as he stood there thoughtfully: –Maybe you'll join me? There's a blacksmith and this craftsman— he can make you a new armor. Maybe we'll find something useful.

Atlas sighed heavily and turned to her. He knew Kira was right, but today he felt like he needed some time for himself. And the constant adventures without respite began to tire him.

– You know, Kira, I think it's better for me to rest. I have a lot of tasks, but I don't have enough energy for everything. I'm going to level up and adjust my gear a little bit. Then, when I'm ready, I'll join you.

Kira looked at him, clearly surprised, but nodded.

– Okay, whatever you say. Just don't stay here too long. Next time we'll go together. – She said with a smile and walked towards the Dra'Myr, leaving Atlas alone with his thoughts.

Atlas watched her until she disappeared over the horizon. Then he picked up the "Fire Forge Dungeon" map again and thought about it. The gates were closed, but there were other ways, other ways that could open up new possibilities. But to do this, he needed to raise his level and become stronger. Atlas headed to one of the safe zones, getting ready to rest.

He knew that he needed to focus on a few things:

Leveling up—He needed to fight more and complete tasks to develop his skills.

Research — He could continue to explore new artifacts and mysteries of the world to be ready for future challenges.

But all this could be done later. Atlas decided that he needed to rest now to gain strength for future battles and travels.

Atlas turned off his helmet, feeling his body relax after a long stay in virtual reality. The world of the game was gradually disappearing, and reality surrounded him again. The silence of the room and the soft light of the lamp brought him back to his normal state.

He took off his gloves, rubbed his eyes, and stood up, stretching his stiff neck. My hands were a little numb from being in the same position for a long time, and my eyes were tired of the bright color screens of the game, but the overall feeling was positive.

Atlas knew that he had made great progress, that his character and skills had improved. However, despite his success in the game, he needed some time to rest and catch his breath.

As he approached his desk, he noticed a cup of iced tea that he had left a few hours ago. Atlas sighed, looked at his watch, and realized that quite a lot of time had passed. He exhaled and sat down, thinking about his character, Kira, and the upcoming adventures. But for now, regardless of what awaited him in the game, he needed to make time for real life.

He remembered the various things he had put off for later, and decided to sort them out a bit before diving back into the world of the game.

Taking time off was an important decision, and Atlas understood that if he wanted to succeed in the game, he would need to return to it with full strength and a clear head.

Atlas took a few deep breaths, stretching and feeling the tension drain from his body. He looked at the monitor screen, which still had an open page with his achievements in the game. Atlas thought about what he needed to do next.

The "Southern Mountains" - level 20, the "Gate of the Forge of the Ancient Master" — were one of those mysteries that he could not solve. To get there, he needed to gain level 20 first and then level 40, but he understood that such tasks required time and effort.

He switched to the map, where there were still unexplored areas and quests, and realized that there would be a lot of work to get to these goals.

But at the moment, his thoughts returned to Kira, the blacksmith girl from the city of Dra'Myr.

Atlas recalled how she searched for information about her family, as well as her enthusiasm for learning and learning crafts. Even though he wasn't ready to help her in her search yet, he promised himself to come back to it in the future.

"Or maybe we should go to Dra'Myr.

Complete the Shadow Cloth Master quest?"

Atlas thought, flipping through the list of quests. There were many other paths he could have taken, but he felt that this quest with Kira and her family history could be interesting. There were many open doors on his character's path, and each one beckoned with its possible opening.

However, before returning to the virtual world, he decided to take a short break. Atlas turned off his PC and walked away from the table to drink a cup of tea he had prepared earlier. The clock showed that he was on the verge of fatigue, and he needed to rest before diving into a new game cycle. He understood that balance was important, both in the virtual world and in real life.

As time passed, his hands, which seemed a little tired after playing for hours, gradually returned to normal.
