"You are being too rude! I just asked what the fuck you mean by using my life essence? Don't tell me I just shortened my long life because I named you?! And what is it about the talk of virgin virgin virgin"
"Huh?! Virgin?! Uh?!! Are you seriously asking me that when you are the one who masturbates in your closet watching lewd stuff?!!"
"What?! Why are you lying?" Raith raised his voice in defense.
"Me? Why will I lie? I see you every time, you dump me in your inventory but I see you every time and I know that darn helmet guy sees you too."
Raith looked at the ring in his hand.
"Wow, I guess even a catastrophe rank hunter gets horny," Dong-Hyun mumbled.
"Hunter Raven should think about getting a girlfriend."
Raith shamefully turned back, "It was once... I was just curious because they said it releases stress..." He tried to defend his image but it was to no avail.
"Yes, we understand" Both of them responded with a frozen and blank expressions.
"First day alive and I can already tell that we won't get along!"
"I'd die before I get along with a dumb motheruxka like you." The ego said, materializing out black tiny hands that folded to his front as he confronted Raith.
"I will only answer you because I owe you for awakening me... you have a long way to go. When I mean your life essence, it would have shortened your life if you were like others but you and I know what we are talking about." The ego responded.
"Dark energy..." Raith's eyes rolled down as he subconsciously summoned his status.

Raith's eyes widened.
"Zero"
His face naturally turned gloomy, 'Damn, I'm supposed to be raiding a gate soon.' Raith scratched his head, '...I made a big mistake naming this bastard'
"Oh, great one, God of swords?..." Dong-Hyun spoke, moving closer with his head bowed.
Black blushed and wriggled as he turned his focus to Dong-Hyun. "Looks like you all got a proper somebody in this place. What is your name dude?"
"I am Dong-Hyun, a blacksmith."
Black frowned immediately but relaxed his expression seconds later, "I have a grudge against blacksmiths, those bastards are the reason why I have a hazy memory and can't even remember my master anymore. But I will spare you. Even though I spare you, you cannot repair me, it is not that I am unwilling. You have divinity and you will lose it if you forge me."
"Sir? I don't quite understand." Dong-Hyun spoke, very politely as though he was talking to an elderly person.
"I can smell it from you, divine aura. It is probably why you are able to create all the special weapons I feel in this area. But the moment you use that divinity on me, it won't work and you will lose that divinity, to make matters worse, you don't have the pure hand skill to reforge me."
"What do you mean? He is really good." Raith defended him.
"Shut up dummy, what do you know?" Black turned to Dong-Hyun again after shutting Raith. "Look man, visualize a strong man carrying a very large boulder and walking up a volcano mountain."
"I can tell how hard that is without even visualizing it," Raith replied.
"Yea, good for you but I was not talking to you."
Black's reply caused a perfect decorum in the white room.
"It will be very straining, the weight of the boulder will be reducing the strong man's walking pace, plus it will also be applying a downward force that will eventually cause the strong man to fall."
"Good, I like you! Now, if the man wants to successfully climb the volcano mountain what does he do?" Black asked, narrowing one eye, and the other widened as if he was enjoying this.
"The man has to drop the boulder," Dong-Hyun replied.
"Yes, you get it right! Now I am the Volcano mountain, the divinity blessing you have is the boulder. Trying to repair me is like climbing a burning mountain, it's already hard enough as it is, then you have that darned thing called divinity on you... Man, you can never touch me."
Dong-Hyun's hand was already on his chin, rubbing his little mustache and lost in thoughts. '...could this be the answer I have been searching for...or should I try talking to him about it.'
"Why do your words sound like you are trying to defame divinity and exalt yourself, why do you have to be the volcano mountain?" Raith asked, irritatedly bearing down at him.
"And why do you gotta hate? Don't be hating because you are a dimwit." Black responded without even looking at him.
His response cause a vein to bulge out of Raith's temple, he probably was getting very angry.
"Sword king, I have a question. I don't know if you will be able to help me." Dong-Hyun asked, bowing his head again. In his disposition and speech, his honor for Black was indisputable.
"Speak my friend" And Black just kept liking him more and more.
"I have recently reached a block in my hammering skills as a blacksmith, before when I hammer, it is as though I am breaking into the essence of every metal, it is a tough thing to explain because it is not always the same thing even if it is the same mental. But of recent, I have been finding it hard to tap into that essence... it is as though it is not there anymore..."
"Hmm," Black rubbed his chin as he thought about the blacksmith's question.
"See friend, I don't know much about forgery, but I will tell you this because I have lived thousands of years and survived hundreds of forgeries. When you reach that point that it keeps feeling the same? I think that just means you have exhausted all there is to that particular thing. Hence, what I'm saying is, it is not that you can't feel it anymore, it is that you can now feel it so cleanly that it has become a part of you.
Perhaps before you can only feel it after hammering a hundred times, but now with one hammering, you have felt it but then it isn't so obvious because your senses have grown past that point and are already seeking something bigger. That thing that used to be bigger to you is now smaller, that is just the sign that you need to grow.
And in my honest opinion, you cannot grow with that blessing in divinity you have you."
Dong-Hyun was gobsmacked, his jaw fell and wouldn't close. 'How can a sword be so rich in knowledge?'
Even Mok Jae-Hwa and Raith were amazed.
