Chapter 3: Creation
The empty scenery cracked apart, and a person appeared from behind the spatial crack.
Even from behind the spatial crack, he felt an intense heat coming from the workshop in front of him. When he stepped out, he felt a rush of even more intense heat.
The entrance was only slightly hot, while the inside of the workshop was like being steamed alive.
Klang—!
The rhythmic beat of hammering steel.
But soon, a different sound emerged.
Fshhhh—
The sound of plunging hot steel into water.
Knocking the door to check if anyone was inside, Jin Han-Ryong received no response.
A moment later,
Creak—
Jin Han-Ryong slowly pushed open the door.
Inside, he saw floating hammers working on weapons and steel hands cooling the finished weapons in cold water. Not a single soul could be seen.
Closing the door behind him, Jin Han-Ryong grabbed the floating hammer closest to him.

Looking around at the countless other floating hammers, Han-Ryong cursed under his breath.
"Fuck. This is gonna take a while.."
After what seemed like an eternity, Han-Ryong finally managed to find the hammer he was looking for.

Conditions of Use: None
"Good! Let's start the production!" Han-Ryong shouted energetically and pulled out various materials from the shelves nearby. They were the hardest bone and fang of the Nine Headed Ancient Serpent, a Super Class Danger Beast, Abyss Stone filled with the breath of an Abyss Dragon, Gold Mithril, and the heart blood of a True Dragon. They were rare materials that ordinary humans could never see in their lifetime.
Jin Han-Ryong started to use the bellows and the reddish furnace that increased the heat within the smithy substantially. It wasn't this hot even standing in the middle of the Sahara Dessert. His body immediately became drenched in sweat, and he took off his clothes and threw them to the side. He was worried that his clothes wouldn't be able to withstand the heat and would burn. The heat was this hot.
Han-Ryong's use of the bellows accelerated even more. The furnace in front of him was a bright orange colour and was on the verge of melting. Even so, Han-Ryong didn't stop the bellows. They were fast but regular movements. He stepped on the bellows like it was a sword dance.
The Abyss stone in the furnace still had its original shape. It seemed to be ridiculing him for trying to dominate it with this much after it endured the Abyss dragon's breath for 500 years. The surface of the furnace started to melt, but the Abyss stone in the furnace was still fine. This stone was far beyond the flames. It seemed to be whispering to Han-Ryong to bring it on.
However, Han-Ryong just smiled. "Let's see who will win in the end."
The hundreds of firewood that were piled in the corner of the smithy were all poured into the furnace. It was without leaving behind a single one.
He focused on this moment without thinking about the consequences. He was convinced this was the only way he could beat that guy. Cheon Yeon Woo. No, it was a calculation that was possible because he had already tried in his past life.
The heat was unparalleled. The heat wasn't in the realm that a First-Rate Martial Artist could endure. At least, if Han-Ryong wasn't in his spiritual form.
There wouldn't be a single person who could stay in the smithy right now. The furnace exploded. It wasn't able to contain the Purgatory Qi being released by the Abyss Stone as it was getting smelted..
The flames grew out of control. It moved like a tsunami that hit Han-Ryong and swallowed the entire smithy. Then the smithy exploded. The wall's of the smithy burnt into ashes and he could see the unending void beyond it.
The outline of the smithy swallowed up in the flames slowly started to be seen. A building with only the skeleton left. Han-Ryong stood in the middle of the blackened ruins. The starry-black molten stone flowing like spring water from the furnace looked like the night sky.
Stagger.
Han-Ryong struggled to take steps as he caught the molten stone and reached out for an anvil nearby. He didn't use a mould as always. Hammering began in the silence. The forging and quenching processes were repeated. Every hit caused ferocious flames to appear and the molten stone gradually took shape.
It wasn't until a few hours later that the shape of a sword began to form. It was a long and laborious task.
But Han-Ryong had long gotten used to this. When he was younger, he had to work at the smithy to earn his living expenses since his father didn't give him any.
Kaaang! Kaaang! Kaaang! Slowly but surely, the form became perfect. After being quenched several times, the red-hot blade gradually cooled down.
Kaaang! Kaaang! Kaaang! The flames calmed down. The Abyss stone finally accepted Han Ryong's touch and was transformed into a blade. Then, he started to sharpen it.
The blade that regained its light after being polished was as dark as night. The wavy marks created during the forging process were faintly visible, making the blade more beautiful.
After that, Han-Ryong began combining it with the bones and fangs of the Nine Headed Ancient Serpent, and the Gold Mithril. Before finally refining it in the Heart Blood of a True Dragon.
In the silence of the void, Han-Ryong poked the sword with his finger and a clear sound echoed. It was a clear resonance that he would never hear again in the future. Similar to a baby's first cry. He started to tremble. He knew he had managed to create a Teigu. As for how much better it was, Han-Ryong did not know.
Then a strange voice permeated Han-Ryong's ears. It was the voice of the new sword that Han-Ryong would often hear in the future.
"Human who made me surrender when I didn't give in to the Abyss Dragon, even if you are far away, you are my only master."
