Mmorpg: Unity

The Spears' attributes could now be seen on an info screen. A weapons core need to be strong enough so that the passive energy it creates can be scanned by a nano-id. He had realised that if one uses cores in every step of the building process one could create a weapon with the minimum requirements for a successful scan.

Better cores, and materials will make even stronger weapons. This meant that instead of forging a complete weapon then combine that with a core. Each piece of the weapon would be made alongside each core.

For example in future Shaka was sure that if he used a great material like Otterbone, he would first combine it with a core, then mold it onto a Pommel. Then follow the same process for the Tang, cross guard and blade. Any ornamental stuff like jewels would also have to be individual combined with a core.

When combining all the pieces together he would use a bonding core that is one level higher than the cores used in the manufacturing process.

A bonding core is a collection of cores that have been altered in a single core. When Shaka previously did this they would come out looking like red viles.

Devouring Spear [uncommon[White tier]]

Class: unrestricted

Type: Two handed spear weapon

Durability : 30/30

Skill Devour- can extract cores and materials from a dead being.

requirements: Link to a hammerspace is required.

This was the standard that the Adventures Association was trying to establish. They had been experimenting with various blacksmith since the landing, they would share their progress and the development is steadily progressing. Eventually all weapons used by Adventures would have the minimum strength to be scanned. It would become the rookie test to become a beginner blacksmith, in later years. Mardu was chief blacksmith in charge of compiling and update the blacksmiths manual.

Shaka knew the now the exact amount of cores needed to make a weapon of this basic kind of standard. In the five days he had also made Nala and Sea, bows that are exactly the same he even managed to link the bows by using the same cores for both. Each core he used he would use half in one bow and the other half in the other. Later how would discover a better way to make linked items.

He put his nano-id over them as he saw them approaching, they had grown inseparable in this past week. Sea was especially friendly, Nala had made clear that she liked him but right she was still dealing with a lot personal issues and she only needed a friend. Sea was happy to do so, as this was also his first friendship from someone not in his Herd.

Gemini bow [common[green tier]growth]

Class: unrestricted

Type: Bow

Skill: Rapid Fire

Durability : 50/50

Requirements: Sea/Nala [He used a simple blood lock to ensure only they could use it, the blood link also gave the weapons the growth ability this method of linking the user and weapon. Is not the most suitable for his mass production goals. Shaka was trying to create a pure growth type weapon that wouldn't be blood locked and thus can be passed on and reset in level with each new person]

Information: Twins bows grows as the user grows. Named after Gemini twins a constellation from Earth.

CAN BE UPGRADED: 0/5 Red Cores acquired.

Sea and Nala, were told by Shaka, These bows are only for the two of you they will change as you become stronger so look after them. Now tell me a about what's happening with Church I'm sure that's why the two of you are here.

Nala said, The Church has been pushed back to the Southern Mountains, The small forces have managed to escape here and there. Sea was attacked by an unknown force while he was on patrol the other day. Witnesses say they saw a Gorgon attack him. We are not sure if they are linked to Church. However another force was attacked by an Orc wearing similar armour. Paige thinks they are probing our defenses to find weaknesses. She has issued an investigation party.We should hear something soon enough.

A patrol troop has disappeared recently also. We are not sure but it seems our grasslands are under invasion.

Shaka thought for a while, he was sure that these are not all linked but there is no way, that so any things can happen without someone secretly plotting something. At least it will not be my problem much longer I can move on to Valduum.

Shaka said the to the pair, I need to the local beast merchant, to get a traveling companion to pull the cart for me, As I want to head to Valduum soon.

Nala asked, when exactly do you think you will be leaving. You know I still have not thanked you properly for saving me from the church. In the past week Nala had managed to find her natural voice again. She spoke with a lot more confidence. Her voice no longer the barley audible, instead a clear serine sound came out when she spoke.

Shaka replied, As soon as humanly possible, I have a long ways to go and many things to do. First I still need to complete my resupply and I am still waiting on a letter from the Association. This all should at lasted be done by day after tomorrow.

Sea spoke, We should have lunch then after we visit the merchant shop. The pub is open and should not be very full around this time. Sea knew Shaka wanted to visit the pub, Shaka spoke about wanting to go everyday. Sea had booked a table for them all so that they could enjoy a meal together, he never imagined it might be their last meal they share with him.

Yes yes of course, Shaka face was filled with a smile. Great Idea let's head out to the merchant them the pub. I can already taste the that sweet mead. Let move guys by the time we back I will have something for you guys.

The beast merchant, Derek Donner, is a miniature pony Centaur. He has a high voice and a bubbly personality. His shop the Beast Imperium, was made out of wood the window had a thick none reflective surface. Two big silver tusked Bors. Derek went straight into sales mode when they walked. Leaving the counter to greet them and talk about his beasts. He was seriously proud about his farm and how he cared and raised his stock. He said he had Frost Wolves, Emerald Oryx, Golden Raptor, Diamond Vipers and many others in store. They only had to tell him what they wanted.

Shaka said, I'm looking for a traveling companion to pull my cart and act as security, specifically I want to able to leave it behind and guard the carriage.

While my good man your in luck many of beast are tailor made for that. If you would follow me to the pen out back. Derek lead them towards the back of the shop. The front end was a small building attached to it was a large farm, they actually moved directly through the wall of the city into the farm on the other side.

Derek showed them the Spiked Armadillo, this beast is a sturdy companion with great a defence and decent stamina. It's speed is somewhat lacking but it's a good animal for only a 200 hundred silver.

Shaka reacted poorly to the sight of the beast.

Derek immediately continued, this is only the first sight let's move towards the lower fields. They went past an Steel Armoured Rhino, Gaint Aardvark, A Forest Okapi and Fog Tapir. Finally he said sir here I have for your consideration, a Topaz Bear, a rear creature in these parts it can even fight alongside if push came to shove, it has great stamina too.

Unfortunately my friend I do not think it will be able to survive the deserts of the north. Shaka detailed lightly his plans to go north beyond Valduum.

Then my I suggest our most loyal, the two headed dingo, a fine mongrel I raised myself.

Shaka thought about how the girls would react if they ever had to see this foul beast. He could only imagine the taunts he would receive. I need something that is also okay looking I can not, take the Dingo.

Derek, I see you have a discerning eye mister, then may I present the cream of our crop. The magical gifted and physically talented Mithril Oryx. [Arabian Oryx]. This fine Beast is only going to a special price of one gold.

Deal! Shaka was immediately captivated by the shinny skin it had the blue silver glow was really something. He had once tried to bargain for a mana rock with a similar hue, but due to his endless negotiating a dwarf managed to get it from the merchant. He vowed that if he truly wanted something he would not hesitate ever again.

Fantastic Sir if you would follow we can complete the purchase order and I will deliver the Mithril Oryx tomorrow morning. The purchase order was simply and straight forward. He gladly signed the necessary paperwork and was about to depart the store.

Derek excuse you have not paid yet , Shaka turned to him and said P.O.D.

Derek, Sir I don't think I understand.

Shaka simply and slowly said Payment on Delivery, before them you will not see a copper from me sir.

The merchant had been foiled he had been planning to pass the old and battered Mithril Oryx to Shaka and make a tidy sum however now his hopes had been dashed.

The group walked out as Shaka said see you tomorrow!

They quickly moved towards the pub, basically Shaka was almost running. The pub was called the Broken Stallion, there had all kinds of seating arrangements. A full b.r.e.a.s.ted, stunner of a Lamia. She golden yellow skin, green hair. Shaka quickly order the honey mead. He was really excited. Sea and Nala also asked for the same thou Nala said she only wanted a small cup.

They were chatting about all that happened to them on the trip to Chark. Sea was especially sorry for his actions when they meet the first time.

Shaka told him not to worry since we are all friends now anyway. They ordered food and more drink. This was turning into a legit party even some of Sea's herd joined them as they came back from their various jobs.

Dawn, Osiris, Gaia and Aquameni had been in chamber communing with the spirit of Mamlambo. She was preparing the girls for their trials. They each had a different test that they had to complete to receive the qualifications to begin the trails. as they understood the powers were shells of the gods that Mamlambo had killed so becoming strong enough to begin the path of ascension was paramount and she had limited time if they failed it could cause a great disaster.

Shaka's work with the cores is something that deeply important to him not only for reasons of power but as he is an inheritor Gu. Other players had run ins with people like Merlin and we're assigned an A.I. that would help them develop their powers in a unique fashion. Examples

The are some others who also have a similar fates. They are all on their own path to power the best example of this is Rain, her interaction with Merlin has fundamental change the way her nanites generate energy, the passive she has means that as long as she wills it they will receive a bonus from her.
