The Genius Blacksmith’s Game
White Tiger Sword (4)
Guardian.
It means ‘to protect’.
In this way, the protection that exists in the world of Ares comes from the desire to protect its users.
An expert said about this so-called guardian deity.
– A blessing is a special power that can only be bestowed by selected named NPCs, and sometimes even higher-ranking beings. Depending on how special they are and what rank they have reached, the number of blessings they can bestow is determined.
– For example, a knight commander who protects a territory. He can only grant protection once. However, granting such protection to someone means that the user has built a high level of bond with the NPC.
-That’s because the existence wanted to do something like ‘protect’.
It served as a warning to users who had been ignoring NPCs.
At some point, people even did the ‘Living with NPCs Challenge’.
However, the number of users receiving protection did not increase.
-Guardian is not something you can obtain simply by becoming friends with them. There has to be a reason for them to want to protect ‘him’.
-Have you created a reason for them to ‘keep’?
People, they realized it.
Those who have protection are at least those of the rank of Knight Commander or higher.
Ordinary users cannot receive protection from them.
Someone asked about this.
-Who is the one that can bestow the protection that current users can receive?
People thought this was a stupid question.
Because everyone who saw this question and answered it had the same thought.
-These are the kings who lead the country. They are beings who were born with it. How many users can receive the protection of the parents of that country? They have too much to satisfy in order to protect someone, and their capacity is too big to have the heart to protect someone.
It was a story that many people could relate to.
Again, I thought to myself, is it really impossible?
– As impossible as it may seem, I don’t want to use the word ‘absolute’. Someone who can grab what they really need. And a very small number of the 1.3 billion Ares players who can build a high bond with them.
Because someone must be making the king want to protect you today. And the protection that means ‘protecting’. Especially, the protection given by the king must be the most special and valuable protection in the world. Because it means the king protects you.
Hyunsoo woke up from his reverie.
I recalled what I had seen about Gaho in the past.
I’m chewing over the notification I heard again.
[The three kings will protect you!]
“… … .”
The three kings, who smile gently, are nothing more than ‘great beings’ that other users find fearful, scary, and terrifying when they meet them.
However, for one of the 1.3 billion players, Hyunsoo, the North King is the one who gave him the hammer.
The King of the West, who could not overcome his own too strong abnormal state, was a being who smiled like a child.
Dongwang is the one who has the ‘heart to protect himself’ for the blacksmith who has put his heart into ‘reconciliation’.
“… … .”
There are things that feel like lies.
It was Hyun-soo who summoned Gremory here just a few hours ago.
Because of that, the three kings saw Gremory from afar and told her.
We will walk together.
Three kings protect him.
This Ares is one of the three most excellent guardians in the world.
Because the Northern King leads the largest number of soldiers.
Under the protection of the ‘Leading Tiger’.
Dongwang was a being with the most unbreakable spirit, so he was protected by the ‘Brave Tiger’.
The King of the West had the appearance of the youngest child, but possessed the strongest spirit, and was protected by the ‘strong tiger’.
These three protected and guarded me, so the fear I felt towards Gremory was gone.
‘Can you do it?’
The doubts I had.
‘I want to stop.’
The feeling of wanting to give up also disappeared as if it were a lie.
We learn about it through interviews at that time and the current situation.
The fact that he was one of those 1.3 billion players.
As proof of that.

A new title that only Hyun-soo can obtain has been unlocked.
‘It gets lighter… … ‘
All the pressure that had been weighing on Hyun-soo disappears as he looks at the hammer the North King gave him.
It felt as if the three kings, and many others I had met so far, were releasing the neck that Gremory had been holding.

In that release.
‘Have you ever approached something with such a carefree mind?’
does not exist.
Even when I created my first artifact.
Even when producing ‘Gwangmyeong’.
I’ve been molded as someone who is driven by the need to change his life.
But now it is so light as a feather.
That was why.
Instead, your head becomes clearer, your heavy body becomes lighter, and a feeling of ‘joy’ arises.
Shh …
The blueprint for the ‘Baekho Sword’, which had been considered complicated, was drawn clearly in an instant.
It’s just that, after a dozen years, I find myself falling into the same feeling of pure joy I had when I first tried something as a child.
The heat of the blacksmith shop, felt for the first time.
Pushiyiik-
humidity.
Kurrururur-
It’s muggy.
however.
Kwarrrrrrrr-
The blacksmith whose eyes sparkled as he watched the blazing furnace inside was now an adult.
Cheeeeeeek-!
The adult who took out the pickled Baekho sword and placed it on the anvil.
He has grown up so much in the blink of an eye, and now he strikes with such skill that I can’t even remember that day.
Taaang-!
Taaang-!
Taaaaang-!
It’s not easy to become as immersed as you were as a child.
It’s definitely hard to get lost in something that’s so fun, enjoyable, and happy.
But today was different.
The Baekho Sword is an original sword created with the spirit of learning from the past and the present.
[The blacksmith’s soul reacts.]
It lets you immerse yourself in the joy and happiness of the day.
Nobody remembers a day of ‘immersion’ though.
Nobody says anything.
‘Because I was young back then.’
‘It was fun back then… … .’
‘Now is not the time for that.’
But the moment Hyunsoo is absorbed in it now, sometimes it adds a special touch because it is a game.
[Fall into a state of no-self.]
In that state of immersion, forget everything.
Chiiik-
Taaang-
Profit
Taaaaang-
Feeling the melody, already absorbed in it and free of distracting thoughts, the blacksmith moves towards the ‘one thing’ that had been pictured in his mind.
White.
As expected from his first meaning, the sword he created was surprisingly white.
Tiger.
In order to capture the great spirit and strength of the tiger, the length and blade of the sword were measured to be completely different from the ‘Sain Sword’.
Throw away the sword that cannot be cut, and forge it so that it is sharp enough to cut down enemies in one stroke with one edge.
Taaang-!
The length of the sword is somewhere in between that of a normal sword and a long sword that is difficult to swing.
Taaang-!
It is easy to swing with one hand thanks to its excellent center of gravity.
He creates a sword that becomes more destructive when wielded with both hands, something that is impossible in reality but possible in Ares.
And then he puts down the almost-made, pure white sword and creates a grip to hold the sword.
This grip wasn’t one of those fancy grips, either embroidered with gold or with various patterns.
The long, pure white blade proves that this sword is a white tiger.
So, the scabbard is sturdy and allows for a good grip on the sword, but its appearance is extremely crude.
It is wrapped in cloth to prevent your hand from being torn by the grip of a cold sword, and it even has practicality to prevent your hand from getting hurt when cutting down an enemy.
in the end.
Tear, tear, tear-!
The corners of his mouth rise upward as he raises them to carve a pattern.
‘Are you laughing?’
‘Are you happy?’
‘… … He is a real blacksmith!’
The three kings were amazed.
Hyun-soo, who was just lost in thought and unaware of the notification window, was seeing a huge outage.
[You fall into a deeper and purer state of selflessness.]
[Title: Muajijing has been upgraded from S-grade to SS-grade.]
[Added 20% chance of getting a better artifact in the state of no-mind.]
[You fall into a state of ‘extreme selflessness’ that activates with a 20% probability.]
[20% chance of getting a better artifact is applied immediately by falling into a state of extreme oblivion!!]
Go ahead.
[Dang’s replica hammer glows.]
[15% increase in chance of getting a better artifact.]
Without stopping.
[The crown created by God shines.]
[15% increase in chance of getting a better artifact.]
continue.
[Stat Will is activated.]
[You won’t get tired!!]
And Bahala, the notification that ‘a new story begins’ also affects him.
[Even if it breaks.]
[You found a breakthrough at a critical moment.]
[The effect of completed artifacts is increased by 5%.]
As if it wasn’t over yet, the three tigers in ‘human form’ finally began to transform into tigers.
The North King has the appearance of the largest tiger with brown fur.
thud-!
The East King is a tiger that is slightly smaller than the North King and has white fur.
Kuung-!
The West King is the smallest tiger or black tiger.
Kuuung-!
The three tigers run around the blacksmith shop like a mirage.
Kurrurururur-!
Finally, the spirit of the Northern King, who stands at the highest place, comes first.
Kuhwaaaaaaaah-!
[The protection of the leading tiger descends!!]
[The White Tiger Sword is imbued with various powers that can grant various buffs to allies!]
Next, the spirit of the East King.
Kurrururururuk-!
[The protection of the brave tiger descends!!]
[The White Tiger Sword is imbued with a variety of attack skills that can defeat any enemy and the power to increase all stats!]
Finally, the tiger with the strongest power, the King of the West, strikes down.
Krrrrrrrrrrrr-!
[The mighty tiger’s protection is bestowed upon the White Tiger Sword!!]
[A huge status effect that even a god cannot resist is created!]
Finally, the three tigers meet again and become one.
That’s what happens with one sword.
[The greatest tigers become one for a moment.]
[The power of the giant white tiger is born within the White Tiger Sword!]
[The title ‘Your Loyalty to Me’ shines!]
[The system recognizes the blessings bestowed on the crafted item you created and grants special benefits to the sword!]
[The protection of the leading tiger is infused into the sword, making it 20% more effective!]
[The protection of the brave tiger is infused into the sword, making it 20% more effective!]
[The protection of the mighty tiger is imbued into the sword, making it 20% more effective!]
With him.
Choooooooooooooo!
At that moment, the three exhausted tigers fell.
The suspension, which lifts the sword by its grip, breaks free from the ‘extreme state of selflessness’.
[The state of extreme selflessness is lifted.]
He was standing at the end of the crazy, runaway notifications, the effects that were happening now, and the final effect.
‘How many effects were actually triggered…?’
The notifications that were not finished yet were still pouring in.
[The blacksmith’s spirit is activated!!]
[Corrected.]
[The Baekho Sword is already a sword that leads the present era!]
[The blacksmith’s soul is about to lose its light!]
Behind that power that is activated more loudly than ever.
[The blacksmith’s spirit is unbroken!]
[You told your story while creating this sword!]
[Depending on your story, I was drawn into the joy, delight, rapture and immersion I felt when I first made a sword in my childhood, and I made it with more immersion than ever before.]
[The blacksmith’s soul responds once again to your originality!]
[In the first sign sword, it was changed to the Baekho sword, but the Baekho sword was imbued with the power of the greatest tiger!]
[This is an amazing achievement!!]
[The White Tiger Sword is complete!]
Along with him, Hyun-soo, holding the White Tiger Sword wrapped in cloth and wearing a white sword, begins to listen.
Uh… … Uh… … Uh… … Uh… … Huh… … .
A small cry began to spread from the sword and began to spread throughout Ares.
Khuu …
It’s shocking.
The reason for this, as the producer Hyunsoo knew better than anyone else.
That identity.
[The effect of making the White Tiger Sword is activated!]
[The tiger’s roar echoes throughout Ares!]
It was an artifact, a production effect.
