Genesis: The Lucky Blacksmith
Irregularly

Riko doesn't even need a paron to refine Rhea's weapons. Thanks to his new skill that opened the Hand of Haephestus, Riko only needed to unite the newly mined Crystal with the Magatama Staff. One by one the crystals he pulled out and then attached to the weapon. A dazzling white light appeared every unification took place.

Riko who also first used the skill was also amazed. He was not sure if Rhea saw how to work, considering that both of the women's eyes were covered in cloth. However, after ten unification without fail, Rhea nodded in satisfaction.

“I can see your amazing ability. I thought you were also an irregular,” commented Rhea later.

“Irregular?” ask Riko not understand.

“When to play online first, are you the highest player in your class?”

“You mean in job blacksmith? Well, I was the highest level blacksmith of that time,” replied Riko without mentioning that he was also actually the highest player among all classes.

“This is actually data that cannot be ascertained. But I am also the highest player in the sage class. From my observation, all the highest players in each class get different privileges from other players. As a sage for example, our basic ability is to manipulate the basic elements of magic. Each sage has different skills. There are sage who choose to improve the ability of the soil element, there are also fire ones, and so on.

“My expertise is manipulating energy. Every creature, even things in this world, has energy. That's what I use to make my magic, like for example making a teleportation portal like that time. But since I'm an irregular, the system gives me an extra ability: mind-reading. No other sage has this ability.

“That applies to you too. Ever since you exited the dimensional portal in Rembang square the other day, I knew right away that you had just defeated a Baphomet by yourself. From there I began to realize that you must also be an irregular,” explained Rhea at length.

“So you know that the portal is open by itself? You're not the one who opened?” riko Protest.

Rhea laughed a little. “I don't have the ability to intervene in dungeon portals. I'm sorry I wasn't clear at the time. I'm still not sure what you were capable of at the time. But today you have clearly proven that you are irregular.”

“So I can finally be recognized as a hunter player right, because I'm irregular?” ask Riko expectantly.

Rhea shook her head slowly. “You better hurry to unravel your secret, Riko. There are 12 classes in Genesis. If each class has one irregular means there will be twelve players who have special abilities. If the company finds you, will that ability be your own? All the weapons you're forging will belong to the government. You only get a salary.”

“Because I know how the people of the company use the player, Riko. Now even a top-tier player decided to create his own guild and claim some permanent dungeon territory that appeared. Those people collect Crystals and drop monsters for their own group and only pay tribute to the government a few percent only. Your ability is too valuable to work under the company,”, Rhea advised.

“So what do you want from me?” asked Riko who started sniffing some sort of veiled intention from the woman.

“In the near future, I intend to quit the company and build my own guild. I want to nawarin to you to join me,” said Rhea without further ado.

Riko nodded for a moment. This is not an easy offer. Rhea was definitely a powerful sage. Judging from her abilities, this woman might be at A or even S level.

“I level S, as information,” cut Rhea disperse Riko's mind.

Riko hissed annoyed. “This is the problem. You are clearly a promising player. Sage is strong, and has many connections in government. As a player, I would also be interested in joining your guild. The problem is your ability to read minds. The oath was very disturbing,” protest Riko honestly.

“Ah, sorry, Riko. I didn't mean that either. It just sounds straight away. Shouldn't I have to tagbut all your thoughts?”

“The truth is you can still read my mind, right. It doesn't feel free. Ah, done. Let me first think of your offer. But I thank you for all the information and advice. I need time to process everything. Alone,” said Riko emphasizing that he does not want anyone to enter his mind again.

“OK, I hope you consider carefully my offer. I can promise you a satisfactory nominal. Unlimited dungeon access, including housing and living costs, can also be borne by us. I sent the contract details by email. You can read it after you get home from here.

“Then in the meantime, I will keep my promise. Since you are still registered as a player in the company, I will clear your name so that you can still enter the dungeon,” concluded Rhea ending their discussion.

“OK. Thanks,” said Riko short, while trying to empty the mind so as not to be read by Rhea.
