Rebirth: Over the Horizon

Chapter 4 - Nora The Blacksmith



"Young mage you are amazing you can proceed to the next floor," Darcy said, as she guided Adam to the 2nd floor.

There were not many players on the second floor compared to the 1st floor it's obvious that many people would have failed the quest.

"Young mage, come here we have to test your compatibility with fire" Adam was alarmed by the voice a middle-aged man wearing a red robe was fiercely stared at him, he was Lindon fire magic-wielding human NPC.

[Quest: Lindon wants you to use the basic skill of Fire magic: 'Fireball' to exterminate 10 monsters.

Deadline:3hr

Reward: You can proceed to the next floor.

Upon failure: You can't enter the mage tower for the next 3days]

The quest was a little difficult compared with the previous floor but he didn't care he also has to rescue the old lady's granddaughter while completing that quest he can easily finish the quest given by Lindon.

"Here young magician, I hope you will be able to kill 10 monsters" as Lindon said, two pieces of equipment appeared on Adam's inventory.

[Do you wish to equip basic wand]

"Yes"

[Do you wish to equip basic robe]

"Yes"

He checked his status once again before leaving the place...

Adam started to walk towards the opposite side of the mage tower this was a market there all types of stores, potion shops, restaurants, pet shops etc.

Adam slowly walked towards the end of the market there was a small shabby looking shop it had a name written on the top

[Nora's Weapon].

Adam smiled while looking at the shop it was owned by an old blacksmith named Nora the story of this NPC was mysterious.

In his previous life, he still remembered a person obtained a quest given by the old blacksmith and obtained a unique skill after finishing it, which made the player, one of the core member of the sunshine guild.

In the forum, it was mentioned that the person who obtained the quest from Nora was a human he frequently came here and enjoyed seeing Nora the Drawf NPC who was making weapons.

Suddenly one day the Blacksmith NPC gave a quest after he finished it, he was rewarded with two unique skills.

The details were not mentioned in the forum because of the sunshine guild's power, the players were also banned from entering the blacksmith shop.

Adam didn't know for sure that he will get the same quest and obtain the unique skill but he has to at least try it, or else what's the use of having future knowledge.

Adam entered the shop inside of the shop was more shabby than outside he can hear the hammering sound as he entered the shop.

"Cling...Cling"

There was a small bell on the table he pressed it as the sound rang out of it.

Suddenly a little girl ran out of the room and asked Adam "How may I help you, sir".

He was puzzled in the forum there was nothing mentioned about a girl NPC.

'Is this also sunshine guild's work' Adam thought in his heart as he replied to the girl in front of him.

"I want a basic spear little lady," he said to the NPC with a bright face.

"Hmm..aren't brother a mage why do you want a spear"

"I can also wield spear do, little sister can you get me a Basic spear"

"Yes, brother please wait a minute" as she said ran into the small room

again.

[Nora Favorability : -15]

'what?'

'As I suspected he is a unique NPC even GM shows the favorability he has towards players'

'But, why? Did I do something wrong?' Adam was thinking about the situation when the little girl dragged the basic spear towards him.

'Why didn't Nora came out'

"Be careful little girl," Adam said as he grabbed the basic spear.

The spear was sharp and light-weighted unlike the equipment placed on training grounds.

"You can call me Nancy, the spear is 15G since you are so kind and came to our shop despite its appearance I will give you a discount of 5G"

This was unexpected he smiled and handed over 10G before leaving the shop.

"Please come again"

"Hmm.."

Adam started to head towards the area that the old-looking lady mentioned by using the map.

--

After few minutes of walking, Adam arrived at the place where the goblin residents.

He was in front of a small cave there was a group of goblins patrolling outside the cave and looking for prey.

Adam hid behind the bush which was opposite the cave. There 4 goblins patrolling outside the cave, Adam patiently waited for them to let their guard down.

After few seconds the four of them sat down beside the cave and started to do something, Adam quickly came out of the bush and ambushed them.

"Fireball"

[-10]

"Boom.." only two of them does the impact was much smaller than he expected.

"Tch.." another two goblins rushed towards him, but Adam was not going to lose he was only annoyed because the damage was very small.

"Fireball" the cooldown time was only 2seconds so he didn't have problems in casting another fireball the only thing is he will soon run out of Mana.

[-10]

The other two goblins instantly died as they turned into nonetheless and left some things behind.

[+Goblin Club]

[+Stained Cloth]

[+EXP]

[+EXP]

[+EXP]

[+EXP]

'Let's see I didn't level up it means 1goblin gives 20EXP it means I still have to kill many goblins to reach level 5' as he said in his heart Adam entered the cave stealthily.
