[“You did an excellent job on that equipment, brat. That beautiful boy will be head over heels for you! At the end of the day, the best way to buy someone’s heart is with money and valuable treasures! Hahahaha!”]
The Heavenly Demon started ughing inside Vd’s head, but he ignored his gy statement. He had only ied in Chris because it was ve, and, well, he was a friend. Or he wao believe that.
Chris had also helped him earn real-life mohrough the Livestream and had also pretty much given most of the drops, even though he could have easily asked for half of them as part of the livestream payment and Paul would have only had to agree to him.
So, in a aul felt ied to Chris, although he hated to admit it. He’ll also need his help to livestream more because there was no way he would be able to do it all on his own; he cked the guts for that as someoh social ay.
“I merely did this to pay back for his help and friendship, nothing else... Also, it’s creepy how you say all these things out loud; do you have any shame?” Paul sighed as he was molding the liquified metals and fusing Phantasmal Obsidian Steel with the st Mithril Medal he had.
[“What? Of course, I am! I am the Heavenly Demon! There is no shame for me; I am a shameless bastard that stole the Heavenly Treasury, hahaha!”]
“Yeah, yeah…”
Paul ignored him as his Avatar’s eyes shone bright red in surprise. This happened whenever vampires got excited; their eyes gave out a small, red glint of light.
And it was because right in front of him, the alchemy cauldron had successfully merged his Phantasmal Obsidian Steel with Mithril, creating an upgraded version of the metal.
It didn’t ge its name, but its color became slightly clearer, which Vd found amusing.
“Iing; it has gained some of the Mithril properties; though, it is too little Mithril pared to the steel ratio, but that’s as much as I dht now.”
He quickly moved on to pour the liquid metal into the molds. He wanted full-body armor, so he had several pieold arranged already, mostly taken from the Heavenly Treasury.
The armor of Murim was simir in terms of funs, though its aesthetics were simir to ese armor from aimes, which Vd actually liked.
It would give him a distinct appearance from the rest, and although he was shy and didn’t like standing out too much, it was fih the equipment.
Who doesn’t like t about having shiny new equipment in an MMO?
“Now…”
As the liquid metal ehe molds and took shape, he quickly grabbed the other materials and started synthesizing them into different shapes or forms.
He crushed a doze cores into dust and poured it into the metal before it was to cool down and harden, enhang the metal to bee capable of dug rge quantities of Ara.
This, coupled with the actual beast cores embedded o hardens, will probably make the Ara pool in the armor even higher.
Or so he believed; he was still testing things, but he was having a lot of fun doing so.
He had never pyed a game that was so detailed before. Even other VR games with crafting elements were very basic.
Usually, you would gh an automatiimation and bierials into pre-desigems.
But this game was different; one could make any item, and the game would help the user make whatever they imagined a reality.
Since he was young, Paul had always loved survival and crafting games with RPG elements. His favorite game, which he pyed for many hours through his harsh childhood to cope with all the problems and lose himself in a fantasy world, was usually Terracraft.
Terracraft erfect blend , Open World, Crafting, Survival, Colleg, Moaming, and more. It had everything, and it erfect.
Even though right now it would be sidered a game with outdated graphics, Paul still pys it occasionally with old friends through online co-op.
“But isn’t this eveer than Terracraft?” He wondered with a warm smile. “It’s so much fun!”
After he was done modifying the metal, he quickly activated the alchemy cauldron and imbued it with an ice spell, making the liquid it created very cold.
FRRSSSH…!
The metal rapidly cooled down and hardened instantly. After that, Paul took out each armor pied started w on all the teicalities and small things alchemy couldn’t easily produce.
Using the tools he had obtained from the Heavenly Treasury; he refined his crafted armor while embeddi cores in the crevices.
The rgest beast core he had, belonging to the Obsidiaon Lord, ced in the chest pte, hidden iwo hard metal yers.
For the embedded core to not break or something, he added a cushioning element simir to a paste that would harden and secure the jewels so they would not move around no matter what.
This paste was made by using alchemy, of course, bining the bones, cartiges, and blood of all the monsters, including the Obsidian Bones.
“Now, Runigravement...”
As he started engraving runes using the knowledge he gained from his beginner magic book, he multi-tasked, cooling down the rings, bracelets, and neckces he had made.
In the game, there was no equipment slot, so pyers were free to abuse the system and equip as many items as possible over their bodies.
However, the strohe equipment was, the more their Aura of Ara would bee, which could csh against the pyer’s own Ara, creating a disruption that would make magic weaker and weigh down on the user, slowing them down a lot.
Essentially, if you had too much magic, you couldn’t equip too many magic items without a lot of penalties, but that wasn’t a problem for Vd, whose stats were perpetually lowered by 90%.
for each fiwo neckces, tws, two bracelets—this was his current pn, and they were all getting done, cooling dowhe molds.
Eadividual accessory would only give a little boost, but bihey could greatly enhance his Ara and all other stats!
“Phew… Armor done!”
FLASH!
The armor pieces all melded together into a single full-body armor set as Paul finished his st synthesis. Slowly emerging out of the bubbling water of the cauldron, Vd gently pced the entire armor set over the table.
Ding!
[gratutions! You have successfully synthesized the [Vampire Arist Knight Full-Body Armor (A Grade)] x1!]
[The Subcss Skill: [Sewing (D): Lv3] has Leveled Up!]
“It’s done…!”
Vd looked at his new armor with utter fasation; he had pai with the blood of the vampire bats, giving it a dark red color.
The beast cores were all well hidden ihe armor; even though it looked a lot like a ese armor, he didn’t mind; it was actually rather cool.
The Full Body Armor included a chest pte, a helmet, gloves, and even armored boots. Using the game interface, and after st the armor inside his iory, he automatically equipped everything.
FLASH!
His body was quickly covered by the crimson armor, from head to toe. The first thing he felt was the weight of the armor, which almost made him fall to his knees.
Despite how much he tried to make it lighter, it was still several kilograms weighing over his already weak body.
“Ugh… {Lightweight}!”
However, he had already thought about a solution ahead of time.
The chest pte shone brightly as an invisible aura of winds covered his entire body, including the armor.
Suddenly, it became very lightweight, to the point where it wasn’t bothersome anymore.
This was a must-have spell he had to imbue into the armor so he could carry his body around with it!
Even though he couldn’t roperly right now and would also o rely on Float, this armor would still weigh his body down too much.
Thankfully, there were a lot of useful Tier 1 to Tier 3 spells in the book he read. Most of them were often not really used, as magis went for just the basic defense and offense spells.
But these spells were all surprisingly good for helping redeem the fws of equipment!
“It’s perfect; I move just fine! Holy sh*t, I’m a fully armored knight now!”
Paul sounded a bit gy, but he was finally living one of his fantasies of wearing full-body armor made pletely out of steel and not just some fake armor made of pstic.
He was thankful Chris wasn’t around to make fun of him.
[“That’s det armor, but it’s a shame. If you didn’t have such a crippled body, you could have just strengthened your body to be as hard as armor through body cultivation.”]
“I know, and this is why I made the armor to begin with.”
After testing the armor out, he quickly decided to take a look at the armor’s status, while he quickly started to finish his accessories. Embedding a max of three beast cores each, with tiny runigravements using the Skill of the same name.

“It’s insane… I did this?! Holy fuck!”
Paul was screaming, he was sure that if he had live-streamed these equipment stats, he would have surely gotten DMs from popur Pyers wanting to buy them or even ission them for themselves!
The bonus stats were amazing, the Durability was really high, it had a lot of Ara and spells, and the two Abilities were ht broken in their ht.
“This and the accessories should be able to carry me to midgame without problems…” he smiled.
But above all, what he was very ied in was the “e”!
It ied all his Abilities, including the Skills acquired from Gluttony, and it also ied 50% of his Stats.
Without the penalties of his Fw!
It meant the e was actually strohan him. Without including that, it would have no equipment of its own.
“I think I am uanding the way to slightly circumvent my issue, Heavenly Demon,” he thought. “To create es that i my stats without the fws is one... Is there any e creation teique I could learn?”
[“You’ll o get your Soul at Tier 3 for that, but yes, there’s one called Shadow e Teique…”]
“Perfect… It looks like we have something to aim for now.”
And just as he was thinking about these things, he was also multi-tasking, getting his accessories done. Naturally, doing this delicate work would be impossible IRL, but with the skills assisting his every move, it became surprisingly fast and easy.
After twenty minutes, he was doh all his equipment.
Eae of his fingers had a ring—ten rings in total; his neck had two neckces; and his arms had two bracelets. They all looked very simir, were made of bck metal, and were embedded with beast cores.
But anybody who was to see him would call him insane; no pyer could ever be able to withstand so much Ara flowing into their bodies.
Uhey had all or almost nothing,.
FLASH!
Vd’s Aura of Ara, which was deep azure, surged from his body, overflowing his surroundings.
Chris, who was training outside, felt a chill on his back, quickly looking bato the manor.
“W-What is that? What did Paul make now? Holy sh*t, I gotta see this!”
He quickly flew to see Paul, only to find a t, crimson-colored knight standing in the middle of the room.
“Paul?!” Chris was amazed by his neearance.
“…I ’t move; help me.”
“Eh?”
