chapter 9 Trapped?

(Sorry this one is short guys.)

Walking to the black smith shop where I had earlier met Ryan it was noticiable that there were a lot of people in the village much more than there was before. All of them that I could see seemed to be players. They were mostly lower levels than me ,but some were noticeably near my level. There were very few players above my level but the ones that were seemed almost scary with the equipment I saw them carry.
Entering the shop I saw Ryan talking with somebody else.
I only caught a few words of their conversation which was Ryan saying "yeah you just twist above the handle''
When I entered the conversation stopped.

Ryan looked at me and casually asked "get anything to work with?"
My inventory was filled with metal and metal ore not to mention the armorer's hide.
"I think that I have some interesting things" I said as I opened my inventory of crafting material and made it public by pressing the show to others tab which I assumed would let Ryan see it.

I heard footsteps behind me as well as the door open and close. I assumed the other person had decided to leave.

Upon ryan looking at the metals, which it appeared he could see, I noticed him look like he was in deep thought thinking presumably about what he could make.
"Well you have a lot of usable things here. I can make almost any armor from the metals and many different kinds of weapons. The dragon material can still be used and give you the lightning properties but how strong it is depends on how many of them you put into one object."

I smirked and clicked the rare items tab showing the armorer's hide I had gotten from the kill of the abomination.
His eyes widened and he instantly said "does this mean you own the mine now.."
A gleam in his eye was noticeable to me, and I was sure he wanted the deed to the mine. I didn't have much use for random metals and I wouldn't be staying in this town for long so I decided to give it to him.

"How about this Ryan you make my armor and weapons perfectly and do me a favor, then I'll give it to you."
He turned his head in a curious way and asked "what do you want?"

A smirk crossed my face and I instructed him in what I wanted. "I want the armorer's hide to be made into a strong full body armor. I want the dragon material to be fused and made with my collected metal to make claws like what I'm wearing now but longer. Finally I want a new weapon entirely. I was intrigued by the armor and weapon cross over and have a new idea for a new component. Do you have something for me draw it on?"
Ryan turned around and back with a pencil and a piece of paper.
I grabbed the pencil and started drawing. Claws and fangs would be perfect together I thought as I drew a face mask with fangs that worked like a mouth and would open and close as mine did.

Ryan smiled "very simple, and what's the favor?"

"When you finish building these things, I want to test them out on you. I want a spar."

He nooded and started making my things "It should be easy but it will take some time. Can you come back in about thirty minutes."

I nooded and said "of course, I'll come back later ,but it may be more than thirty minutes. I think I'm gonna go to sleep and I'll come back and get it when I wake up."
He nooded and said "sure, the inn isn't far from here."

"Well actually Ryan I was gonna log off and then log back on later"

I noticed ryan look down and a sad look cross his face. "I thought you guys would know by now."

"Know what?" I said kind of confused.

"That there is no way to log off, That everyone is trapped here once you log on..."

"Trapped?"
