The Tale Of A Golem Master

The Forge. Something that I've become so acquainted with that, I struggle to go a day away from it. My very soul burns with excitement whenever I make something that is worthy of praise by my companions. Especially, when I get acknowledgement personally from 'Him'. my Creator, my Lord, my Praetor, and now my King. My very being was created by him so that I could serve him. He made me so that I could compete with and eventually surpass this person named 'Grid'. My current appearance is the final product of what my King was originally seeking. I have long golden hair tied up in a ponytail, I'm around 5'6 so I am much shorter than him but that's not really a bad thing. I have a nice figure too, my female companions stated that it was good to have a nice figure and to stand proud because of it. I also had red eyes, and preferred to wear a red dress or battle suit whenever I'm not in the smithy.

There is a lot that I truly don't like about Grid. One of the many things being; he doesn't even know just how amazing his class truly is. He doesn't have to start from the bottom and was handed a Legendary class on a silver platter! Honestly, if he wasn't so stupid and focused more on blacksmithing, rather than his own greed, then the money would come along with it. I can't hate Grid though, since he dies put in lots of hard work even if it is misguided. I will surpass him someday though. I don't need to sleep, so I can keep forging items, and training in the sword with my teacher Fenrir. Speaking of Fenrir, he is extremely skilled with the sword. I also feel like he is constantly improving in it. He doesn't even watch Sir Piaro like the other swordsman do and just follows his own swordsmanship instead.

Today, I'm going to focus on making a special type of weapon that Shade managed to secure a production method for. She is always the one that secures the strangest types of weapons, but at least this one seems rather deadly. Shade had long crimson hair, an athletic figure, tanned skin, and had blood red eyes. If I were one of the newbie (as my King would call them) golems, I would be deeply afraid of her just from her looks. However, I was in fact the first golem my King created, so nothing could phase me at this point. The weapon production method she brought me had interesting properties. Frankly, if it weren't for the fact that I knew I 'could' produce legendary weapons, I would have been very surprised.

The weapon itself, was a scythe. It reminded me of that one form of entertainment that Master was telling me stories about, what was it called? Anime? Maybe, but he described a red weapon very similar to this one except this scythe was supposed to be silver. I learned the production method and Shade looked at my with excited eyes. I specifically focused on her eyes, because she can't really express her emotions well otherwise. She has a perpetual poker face. I went to my personal smithy with her so I could forge the scythe. The scythe's handle was made out of the fur of silverback wolves. Their fur had similar properties to silver and bloodstone but was much more flexible. The curved blade was meant to be made out of black iron and mithril. I decided to replace the black iron with bloodstone to see if I could draw something else out from the weapon.

After that point, I got to work. Shade couldn't stay too long so she headed out to hunt with the group she leads. This project was going to take all of my attention and probably take a while anyway.

After a few days, I was putting the finishing touches on the scythe, when I felt something through my connect with Master. I felt strong emotions from him. The strongest of them being sadness. I stopped what I was doing, grabbed the scythe, handed it off to Shade when I saw her, and just ran to him.

[A legendary rated item was produced, so all stats have permanently risen by 15 and reputation throughout the continent has risen by +500.]

I didn't care about the notification at all. My priority was getting to Master. I wasn't alone in this though, since all of my golem companions came to see him in is personal crafting room. When I got there, I saw him crying on top of a golem. It was the first time I had seen him show such powerful emotions like that. I wanted to go over there and comfort him since I was thinking he was sad at failing to make a golem after investing days into it. However, I was naive to think that when I heard, saw, and felt what came next.

[?????] "PAPA!"

It was at that moment that I felt what a legend was, firsthand.
