The Twisted Life

The Acquaintance

               They all ran off into the forest and hopefully back to their King or Overlord. 'At least one, please, I don't want to go myself.' I'm kind of lazy that way. Still very tierd from the fight, I start running into the forest hoping that my friends actually made it to the cabin. Resheathing my blade,  I finally get to slow down and start walk, to catch breath,

               'I need some better armor, these clothes won't work for to much longer.' Just then there is I see a small village. I slow down and start to walk over to the village wall, 'hmmm, this village is bigger than I thought, I've got to be careful'. So I walk up to the gate and as I am about to knock but the just swung open. I look around I see just what I want to see, a mining village.

            "Hahaha this is great, a visitor!" I hear a voice shout in the distance. 

            I just smile then yell back, "So you coming out, King?" 

            "Na I'm good, sitting here with my long rifle pointed at your head!"

             I shout back, "Oh come on! We both know you are a terrible shot!"

             "So I've been practicing!" A few minutes went by then all of a sudden I hear a very loud crack along with a very loud "Crap!" not much later King came out. He was a short and stubby man, holding an alien sniper, and futuristic helmet. 

             "So... Long time, no see Victor. What did you come here for." He paused as he looked at me. "Where did your Hercules Mantis scale armor go!?!" 

              "Well... Umm... I kind of bargained it for this sword." I pulled out my huge Scottish Claymore and let him hold it. "I. Can. Hardly," he falls over. I quickly pick it up and put it back in my sheath. "Titanium base with, nothing on the edge? We need to fix that."

             "And I need more armor, I brought my old weapon." I take out something wrapped in cloth from under my cloak. 

             "I wouldn't have thought you would've keep this." 

             "Why wouldn't I keep a kryptonite base, adamant edge. Do you think you can transfer the adamant to my new sword?"

             "You know you are going to need more than that."

             "Good thing I came to a mining village."

             "This is going to be a long 4 weeks." The first week was the hardest work that I have done in 3 years, sense the main hall fell down. The amount of work was insane and the rewards were the feeling of completion of one more day. Finally, the 3rd week came around and they got what they were looking for, Platinum. 

             "We are close, Victor! There is about 300 more feet of the 2nd hardest 'rock' you have, and will, mine! If you work hard we will begin melting the right metal in 3 days." 

              "That's almost impossible, 100 feet of Platinum each day!" 

              "You will have to make it, rumors from other mining camps have come here saying there are two stunningly beautiful, young ladies waiting for a man in an old cottage, on top of the Gohan Mountain." 1 and a half days later they reached the top of the mesosphere, the adamant range. "This metal with make you the king of kings of kings. Adamant." 

             "King! I know that look of greed, we are not here for that today. We are here to collect and leave this hell hole forever." It took 10 days to mine 2 pounds of adamant and then 3 days to bring it up. 

            "It is time, Victor! We make you a god. A God with a blade."
