Genesis: The Lucky Blacksmith
Burned

At ten o'clock, the inauguration of the Forging Master guild headquarters was finally completed. Guests have returned to their homes and now there are only cleaning workers hired by the event organizer.

Because the building is a former hotel, there are many empty rooms that have been cleaned and rearranged to be occupied by guild members. Riko of course got the best room with a former room type Suite. The room was spacious with a luxurious Jacuzzi overlooking the sea.

Unfortunately it was already dark when Riko decided to soak in the warm water while sorting her thoughts. So the offshore scenery is not very well visible. Even so the sound of waves and the smell of the sea still makes it feel like a vacation.

Riko thought of many things that night, including his quarrel with Sita, as well as the request of the two guild masters who wanted weapons of mass destruction. Not to mention Jaka's awkward attitude. His head was full of possibilities. Riko has to decide which things she needs to solve first.

As he was deep in thought, suddenly the sound of his bedroom doorbell rang. Sighing softly, the young man was forced to come out of his place to soak and snatch a bathrobe that had been prepared. He walked to the door to see who was coming.

“Sorry, interrupt your break time huh?” greeting a woman who looked surprised to see Riko was only wearing a bathrobe, without any piece of clothing inside. Apparently Mona.

“Oh, no, really, Mon. Just had a shower. How's it? What's up with me?” ask Riko later.

Mona's face slightly blushed looking at Riko's appearance like that. His bare chest of fields peeked out from behind the hemisphere of the bathrobe. Riko hurriedly cleared her throat and covered her robe all the way to the neck.

“Sorry, have not had time to change clothes,” we are no less embarrassed.

“Oh, no. I came suddenly when it was too bad. Actually I want to talk about the request of the Minerva guild with the Rangerbone. It's like it's late now. If so, I'll be tomorrow .”

Mona was a little bit. The girl seemed hesitant, but ended up choosing to enter the room of Riko's luxurious suite.

“Excuse me, if so,” he said a little shyly.

Riko nodded slowly and then closed the door. The young man let Mona sit in the living room while he himself went into the bedroom to wear proper clothes. Ten minutes later the two of them were already sitting together talking about work.

Several contract worksheets have been spread on the living room table of the suite room. Apparently Abyaksa has left an offer of cooperation to Mona, and of course the value of the contract is fantastic. Riko might be able to buy a private jet, or even a private island for himself with that kind of money.

“But the risk is not kidding, Mon. If the weapon is used for monsters, I have no problem. But the girl, the chairman of the Minerva Guild, she .. was a bit sad in my opinion,” commented Riko after reading the contract details for the offer of cooperation on making Ballistic weapons.

“Iya. It's risky to make a weapon like that. Your name will also be immediately sticking out in the international arena. And that not only brings benefits but also threats,” timpal Mona seemed to agree.

The girl then tried to review other clauses in the agreement that might be negotiable. Riko initially listened well until suddenly she faintly felt her body heat up. A sense of heat coming from within him, precisely in the stomach area.

Riko tried to ignore it, but the burning gradually got worse and continued to spread to her chest and neck. Riko began to groan slowly, while holding her stomach. There was clearly something wrong with him. The young man tried to tell Mona but her body suddenly lost strength. His breathing was short and short. The burning heat spread all over Riko's body and caused her a lot of pain.

Riko groaned loudly. His head was about to rupture and his entire body was suffering from excruciating pain. Mona who finally realized Riko's state immediately screeched to call her name. But Riko was unable to maintain his consciousness. The unbearable pain had made the young man fall unconscious.
