Alaric is seen in the great kingdom of Asura... It was beautiful as it was powerful, as he held about one Asura Gold Coin and a few Silver Coins. The family was indeed well off but not the richest, so this was a great allowance of sorts.
"If I want to have some nice equipment for myself, I need to see if I can find a blacksmith..." Alaric explained to himself, going through the marketplace, he stumbled across...
"There we are!" Alaric rushes in, he wanted a light sword, not a heavy one. Yes, his Touki grants him the strength needed, but he needs to hold it with two hands, he needs to be quick and agile but also well-equipped.
Entering the blacksmith, he was a bit surprised by the entire shop. It was clean, with many weapons of different sizes and quality, including...
"Blades!" Alaric gazes at the swords, many of which are for the strongest of the strong.
"Hehe, good evening, kid. Are you looking around for something?" He wondered, a bit curious if the kid had a bunch of Gold Coins for him for a weapon.
"So, how much for this sword?" Alaric wondered, seeing a sword that looked like a machete rather than a blade. Its length was the only concern, but it looked nice, and he was small enough to hold it around.
"Hm... That one has been up there for ages..." The owner states that he was a large beefy man with huge arms and chest. He was a blacksmith with tons of experience.
"Not even rookie adventurers would take this..." The man seemed concerned, with Alaric stating,
"Wait... Adventurers?" Alaric is a bit confused, with the owner stating,
"Yep. Here in Asura, there is a guild that houses many of the world's greatest adventurers. Mostly B Ranked, some are A Ranked and very few are S Ranked. Of course, we are just stronger than other nations. This blade though is inspired by shorter blades like daggers that were formed to look like a blade. Not my greatest work, but I think 10 Gold Coins would do." The man explained as Alaric thought on this. 1 Gold Coin is 1k dollars... Meaning it's 10k dollars... He has 5 Silver Coins, 500 dollars... Nope, he can't buy it.
"I am sorry... But I can't buy the blade, sorry." Alaric apologized, as the man smirked, noticing an odd sense of strength coming from the child,
"Why don't you help me run the shop? I can use some muscle like yours around here." The man offered, as Alaric's eyes widened,
"W-Wait... Really!?!" Alaric is a bit amazed, wondering,
"How do you know I have any, though?" He wondered as the man gestured to his back, therefore,
"!" Alaric realized...
"O-Oh... My bad, hehehe!" Alaric apologizes, as the man soon introduces himself,
"I am Pilphar. A blacksmith here, my ancestors ran this shop for generations, but unfortunately, I haven't had time to bear some heirs. So in the meantime, you'll be my assistant until I get a wife and a son, got it?" Pilphar explained as Alaric nodded.
"Good. While I am working outside, you are to hand me whatever material or tool I need. Whenever a customer comes inside my shop, you are to man the counters. You seem smart so I have no worries about you selling my weapons. But if there's any commotion, use that blade of yours and scare off any thieves or bad eggs, got it?" He explained, as Alaric nods,
"I will get to it then, Pilphar sir," Alaric explained, and before you know it...
"... I'm home..." Alaric's clothes are covered in dust.
"Master Alaric, why are you covered in all of this filth?" Lilia became concerned as she rushed over, she and Flute cleaned the home, Alaric only stated,
