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.
