Vol. 6 - Captivity - Chapter 31
Thomas arranged the leather he'd already removed from his inventory in front of himself. With that set, he dug through all of his inventory space for any other leather he might have. After searching through various boxes and crates he found one with a few pieces of leather inside of it that made...

Thomas looked at the notification asking him to name the new goggles for a bit. He wanted to give them an interesting name so he didn't rush like he usually would. After thinking for a minute, he said, "Ultrasonic Goggles."System Notice: You have created a Rare rarity Ultrasonic Goggles....

Thomas read over the description of the Claymore Mine and nodded to himself. It was more powerful than he expected it to be. The shrapnel and explosion would deal damage equivalent to a Power of 350 within five meters. That range would basically cover the entire width of most of the cave tunnels tha...
Vol. 6 - Captivity - Chapter 28
Thomas didn't know exactly how a claymore mine was made off of the top of his head. He only knew the general principle of the mine. It should be a directed explosion that releases a cloud of shrapnel and is triggered by a tripwire. He was pretty certain that he could cobble that together without...
Vol. 6 - Captivity - Chapter 27
Before moving onto the next phase of his work he decided to spend the experience he'd gained from the Trolls he'd recently ended. Since he didn't have that much experience he figured it wouldn't be much of a deal to do so. At this point, each Troll killed was approximately equivalent...
Vol. 6 - Captivity - Chapter 26
After fully recovering to peak condition using Serenity, Thomas climbed to his feet and stepped back out of the safe room. He went through twelve rooms at random and killed another twenty-one trolls. The experience gained would be spent later on, he didn't need to do it right that moment and was...
Vol. 6 - Captivity - Chapter 25
The guards stared at the dust-covered Thomas and the hole he'd dug through the wall. Thomas glanced over his shoulder at the short tunnel and smiled, "What? I thought I'd found something in there. Turns out I did."He looked up at the darkening sky and smiled to himself, "Workday ...
Vol. 6 - Captivity - Chapter 24
With the baton done, Thomas pulled out the list of requests and looked it over again. He was hoping to find something he could make with what was left of the day. Sadly, the projects remaining on the list would take at least the majority of a day to complete. So, he ignored them and decided to do hi...
Vol. 6 - Captivity - Chapter 23
Once he got the final section of bar stock for the baton down to a proper size, he set it off to the side to cool down. With the steel cooling, he returned to the forge to check the crucible. After removing some slag from the melting metal he let it be so it could continue to melt. He approached the...

Thomas carefully examined the burns on his hand. Thankfully, they were pretty light and his skin had only reddened a little bit. Touching the ingot had felt similar to accidentally touching a hot panhandle. It stung and burned him lightly but didn't do too much real damage. The longer he held it...
Vol. 6 - Captivity - Chapter 21
Thomas took off the armor and set it over by the weapon rack to be picked up by whoever it was going to. He didn't pay attention to the names of the people ordering the gear, just what they wanted. With the armor taken care of, he checked the time and decided to call it a night. As he made his w...
Vol. 6 - Captivity - Chapter 20
A hammer striking hot metal echoed in the workshop as Thomas continued his work on the breastplate. He was forced to occasionally use his Transmutation ability to fix little mistakes here and there. It had been a rather long time since he'd actually hand forged something like this. The last game...
Vol. 6 - Captivity - Chapter 19
During his delicious breakfast the following morning, Thomas examined the most recent request list that came with said breakfast. There were some new additions but not many. It seemed like most of the pirates had already made a request. Since he was specifically looking to make some armor today he i...

After working on creating bar stock for a while, the sword breaker on the anvil finally finished cooling down. Thomas picked it up and dismissed the metal magic spell that had been holding it straight to get rid of the small warp in the blade. He held it by the tang and observed it from a variety of...
Vol. 6 - Captivity - Chapter 17
For the sword breaker meant to match the rapier, Thomas had decided to do something sneaky and mean. He took the rest of the Damascus metal he'd created from steel and Icebound Platinum and put it to the side. Since the sword breaker would not be ice-based using that material would be a complete...
Vol. 6 - Captivity - Chapter 16
Thomas stared blankly as the pristine and perfectly white blade gripped in his tongs. Just how in the hell did the blade turn so white? Also, what about the cool Damascus pattern he wanted to see? He pulled the blade close and examined it with his 'All Seeing Eyes' but couldn't find even...

Weapon Type: GlaiveRarity: UncommonQuality: ExcellentDescription: This glaive has been forged from metal mana infused iron and enchanted to take advantage of that fact. When mana is channeled into this glaive the blade will become nearly indestructible with an edge sharp enough to easily slice throu...

After breakfast the next day, Thomas got to work right away on the completion of all the grenades to use the last of the shrapnel cubes. While he worked, Clad was assigned to grind the mana crystals. Thomas didn't trust him with grinding the Firestone's into powder. Since he'd used less ...
Vol. 6 - Captivity - Chapter 13
Thomas actually lied to Clad, there was no fun to be had with the next phase of making the materials for the grenades. And since it wasn't something he needed to do personally, he turned to Clad and said, "Grab an axe and chop the bars up into little squares. Try to keep them as even as poss...
Vol. 6 - Captivity - Chapter 12
Over the course of the next six hours, Thomas made his way through the third floor of the dungeon and slaughtered trolls left and right. During this time he did a little experimenting with the trolls and came to the conclusion that they had somewhere between 250 to 300 Endurance. He reached this con...
Vol. 6 - Captivity - Chapter 11
After looking over the description of the sword, Thomas couldn't help but smile. Just the base Power bonus of 150 was more than his own Power attribute of 130. Even without using the fire element this sword would more than double his Power! That was a huge buff to his strength. If he boosted the...
Vol. 6 - Captivity - Chapter 10
Once the large block of steel was properly heated in the forge, Thomas removed it with a pair of tongs and set it on the anvil. At the moment the steel was a large rectangular shape about a meter or so long. For the sword he was envisioning, it needed to be longer and thinner. He started hammering t...
Vol. 6 - Captivity - Chapter 9
Thomas placed his foot on the blower and channeled mana into it to make the flames in the forge hotter. Feeling how slowly the blower was draining his newly improved mana pool brought a smile to his face. He would definitely be able to work a lot longer without breaks now. Even so, he wanted to incr...
Vol. 6 - Captivity - Chapter 8
As Thomas stepped off the teleportation circle he spotted the guards sitting around playing with a deck of cards to pass the time. He almost felt bad for the people having to guard him. They couldn't do anything to improve themselves and were stuck doing nothing for hours at a time. He wasn'...
Vol. 6 - Captivity - Chapter 7
Thomas spent three hours bashing his way through the first floor of the dungeon. During that time he went through thirty-four rooms that contained anywhere from fifteen to twenty-five goblins. He kept count of how many he killed and the total came out to six hundred and eighty goblins, not including...

Vol. 6 - Captivity - Chapter 5
Thomas examined the ore as best he could but the ore was so fragmented inside of the rocks that he couldn't find a piece big enough to send his mana through using Metallurgy. With a shrug of his shoulders, he went around and dug out the biggest crucible he could find in the workshop. After setti...
Vol. 6 - Captivity - Chapter 4
As soon as his Mana Control changed into Mana Mastery, Thomas felt something subtly change within his body. It was extremely hard to describe in words. It was almost like something was... Loosened? Unlocked? Whatever it was his mana now flowed more freely through his body and immediately responded t...
Vol. 6 - Captivity - Chapter 3
Thomas held the cutlass in his hand and smiled broadly. He was right in his speculations. Without any special materials or enchantments, he'd turned a regular iron ingot into a true magical weapon! If he used special materials like Origin Steel or Fahrentite Ore, he could likely make an uncommon...
Vol. 6 - Captivity - Chapter 2
The guards heard Thomas's exclamation and were confused. They had been keeping their eyes on him the entire time he had been working. They'd seen the flash of red light and knew he'd done something but what? The iron he'd been hammering still looked like a pile of crap sitting on the...
