Chapter 82: I Could''ve Sworn That Was It...The next thing I knew, I was dragged over to Oled''s workshop.

    "Here we are, boy!" [Oled]

    He placed me down softly. After giving me another scan with his eyes, he started grinning ear to ear.

    "Just wait ''till those old farts hear of this." [Oled]

    "Um... What''s happening?" [Solace]

    Oled took a look at Solace and pointed downwards.

    "Stay here. I''ll be right back." [Oled] S~ea??h the n??el Fire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    Heading in the back of his workshop, I simply stood there with a puzzled look on my face.

    ("Should I just leave?") [Solace]

    With nothing much to do, I took a look around the workshop.

    ("Hm... This place is pretty fantasy-like.") [Solace]

    Crates with materials that I have never seen, hammers, anvils, a... furnace? I couldn''t really tell since I''ve never seen one before, but I was making a guess since it was a hole with fire in it.

    ("Woah! Very fantasy-like!") [Solace]

    I saw a wall covered in weapons. Swords, maces, hammers, shields, and more. It was the epitome of a man''s dream. I reached out to grab one of them, but Oled yelled at me.

    "Hey! No touching!" [Oled]

    Here came the dwarf. He waddled out with a strange hammer in hand. It was shaped somewhat like a large tooth, with a few golden rings wrapped around it.

    "Can''t I hold it for just a second?" [Solace]

    "No! That is unfinished work! I don''t want yer Spal-gaggin'' hands ruining it!" [Oled]

    "...Spal-gaggin''?" [Solace]

    Oled moved over to the materials crate and pulled out some kind of rock looking thing. He then proceeded to rub his hammer with it like it was a whetstone.

    "What''s with the hammer?" [Solace]

    "I''m polishing it!" [Oled]

    "...You''re not going to hit me with that, are you?" [Solace]

    Oled froze.

    "So? Is there a problem with me doing that?" [Oled]

    "There is! I don''t want to be hit!" [Solace]

    "What?!" [Oled]

    Pointing his hammer at me, he waved a fist.

    "I''ll have you know I''m perfecting you!" [Oled]

    "X to doubt." [Solace]

    "...Huh?" [Oled]

    I hit him with a term used in my previous world, leaving him completely speechless.

    "Doesn''t matter. I''m going to make you into my masterpiece! Now, take off yer clothes." [Oled]

    "...Yeah, no." [Solace]

    I''m just going to say, I felt like a kid going to a church. A church with a... really really weird priest. Only a few people will get that though.

    "C''mere!" [Oled]

    "No!" [Solace]

    Oled chased me with his hammer raised high. Luckily, I was faster since he had shorter legs.

    "Wait!" [Oled]

    I could see him running out of breath quickly. He didn''t have much stamina for running, but I could say he was damn strong.

    "I''ll wait if you wait!" [Solace]

    "Deal!" [Oled]

    We both stopped running.

    ("...I can''t believe that worked.") [Solace]

    I stood there, staring at Oled wheezing as he tried to regain his breath.

    "Mind explaining about the masterpiece part? Otherwise I''ll think of you as an insane serial killer." [Solace]

    Slowly regaining his breath, Oled fixed his posture.

    "First of all, I don''t know what a serial killer is. Second, yer a living weapon. Third, yer incomplete. That''s why I''m gonna fix ya up myself." [Oled]

    "...Elaborate on me being a living weapon." [Solace]

    Oled raised a hand.

    "I have a skill called |Weapon Handling|. It allows me to see a weapon''s attributes and skills. When I punched ya, I made enough contact to see yer status." [Oled]

    "Oh. Wait, how much did you see?!" [Solace]

    "Yer level and a few skills. I have to say, ya had too many for me to read." [Oled]

    "Okay... So let me get this straight. You want me to let you hit me with a hammer, so you can make me into a perfect weapon?" [Solace]

    Oled nodded his head.

    "What''s in it for you?" [Solace]

    "Nothing much..." [Oled]

    He averted his gaze.

    "Nah, you definitely have something." [Solace]

    Oled started whistling.

    "I''m not letting you near me with that hammer if you don''t tell me." [Solace]

    "Agh! Damn it! Fine! I want to show those old fogeys that I made a living weapon too!" [Oled]

    "Too? Also, who are these... "Old fogeys"?" [Solace]

    "None a'' yer business." [Oled]

    I ran through all the fantasy stories in my mind to come to a conclusion of what was happening.

    "Ah. I see. So you''re talking about the dwarf elders that had the accomplishment of making living weapons. In which case, you also want to be seen at the same level, correct?" [Solace]

    Oled gave me an astonished look.

    "I... can''t even tell you how wrong ya even are..." [Oled]

    And now that is in my dark history.
