Tiningnan ko ang gawa kong robot tapos tingin din sa blueprint. Dahil na din sa kadahilanang wala akong magawa maliban sa ilang oras na pag-grind na hindi ko naman kailangan dahil mataas na ang ability level ko ay gumawa ako ng gawain ng isang engineer.

So far so good. I found out that, an engineer, no matter what the pre-word is, ay kayang magconsruct ng kung anu-anu, ranging from microbots to colossal mechanical behemoths. Right now I am constructing a huge-ass metal dragon. Kailangan ko ng masasakyan eh. Haha.

One disadvantage of an engineer class is that without enough materials, you are almost useless. But not me. I scavenged almost all of the best scrap metals and waste ores from the Recluse. The piece of junkland even has natural metals that can withstand my Gladiate skills. And the natural ores ng lugar ay pwedeng gamitin as health, mana, and energy packs, and all of them can be mobile.

Another disadvantage is that, if you want to make your creations move and follow orders, you need energy cores. But again, not me. I contacted Navalin Island and asked Skil-san as to where the AU cores are produced. He responded 2 days later, with a sack-full of AU materiel and a letter saying that the Navalin is the only island where the metal can be found.

Such luck for a beginner, eh?


Nasa katapusan na ako ng pag-reSpec sa dragonoid ng dumating si Gwynneth. Her character is that of a dragon in human form, except that her face down to her belly button was saved from the scales. Alam niyo na siguro kung anong tunay na pangalan niyan.

"Hi Chio."

"Yow." Hindi ko na siya pinansin at finocus ang attention ko sa kumpol ng wires sa loob ni Scrap. Bininyagan ko na. And finally, the dragon flashed his optics. Yeah!!

Napansin kong lumalapit sa robot ko ang bagong-dating. Pinatong niya ang kamay sa noo ng dragon. Tsk. Wait—

"Gwynneth, anong class mo?" naghihinala na ko dito eh.

"Assertion." The dragonoid shivered. Gwynne looked at me with a sly grin. "Yep, Dragon Master."

"OH, HALI MADER MAKAREL, NOOOOO!!!" I kneeled as my beautiful Scrap thing dispersed, recalled by the beautiful trickster. "GWYNNETH!!!"

"Haha, easy, hime. May ibibigay ako sayo." Inilatag niya ang mga items sa harap ko. "This is probably enough payment, I think?"

"Dra-dragon Scales?!" I gasped.


Dragon Scales (Legend) (52): Scales of the Great Pyrium. Used to craft weapons and equipment.


"Oh-ho, that gasp is a positive sign that the transaction is cleared enough."

"Letse ka pa rin." I accepted the ores and put them into my inventory. "Where did you get the scales nga pala?"

"Hai. Pyrium." Sabi nia at tumambad sakin ang pinaka magandang at pinakamaputlang fire-dragon na nakita ko. "She shed her skin earlier."

"So you traded Scrap for scrap." I scratched my head. "Wonderful."

"Anyways- ba't wala pa sil—" hindi niya natapos ang sinabi nia dahil nahulog mula sa langit ang magkasintahang si Sky at si Cuishel. "What in the world?"

"Sky here, Force Defender." Sky in human form with a different face grinned at lumipad na naman pataas. I mean, he pushed the earth with an invisible force. Good thing we are on soft sand. Patay na sana yun pagkahulog.

"Cuishel here, Gwynne. I'm a pilot." Sabi ni Chriss, na ngayoy isa nang Elf. Tiningnan nia ang pataas ng pataas na si Sky. "Hold Open: AU-Specter." The mech bot I created for her materialized and she flew high chasing her boyfriend off.

"I'd understand a pilot flies. But with a plane." Gwynneth looked up at the two funny figures flying above the dessert.

"She's a Mechanoid Pilot." I shrugged. "I didn't understand the point of her not choosing the Rust race until she drove a Mech and ran the full mile from Recal to Lush with a ton of metal on her back."

"Uh-huh?"


A few moments later dumating ang mga nymphos na si Tagabantay (that's his username) at si Kar1n.

"Yow. It's been a while, Chio." Sabi ni kuya Liam.

"Low, kuya."

"Hisashiburi, hime-sama." pina-R1n pa sabay bow. "Nakahanap ka na ba ng mapapangasawa m—ittai!!"

"Nope, not in five years or so." I said and picked Mole up to give the little guy some repair.

"Why do you have to hit me everytime?"

"It is because you say the wrong words everytime." Tagabantay looked at Gwynneth. "Dragon Master?"

"Yep, ikaw po kuya?"

"Healer. Plain." He laughed.

"You didn't search for bette--"

"Maniwala ka dian, tinalon niya ang vertical length ng Saviors' Falls. Alam niyo na ba kung ilan ang Healing mastery level niyan?" me and Gwynne both shooked our heads. R1n paused for effect. "99. Almost maxed out."

So far wala pa akong nakitang player na umabot sa seventies. Noon ay hindi ko alam kung bakit. Pero nang nagsimula akong mag-grind sa mga dungeons neighboring Recal, I understood. Your mastery level rises in a turtle pace. When you are in 50s, you need to kill almost a thousand monsters or a hundred bosses to get a rise in mastery level. But Saviors' Point is like Navalin Island. Advanced beginner, ikanga.

"Well, guess I'm not the only one who skipped the introduction."

"Nope, I'm not from Saviors'. Sa Recal ako nagsimula. May nabangga kasi akong quest papunta dun. And the first sight to behold is the falls. At dahil hindi ko naman alam na sacred yun, I cannonballed. Literally. Yung pagtaas ng healing mastery ko ay 5% per second ata. Max-out na sana to kung hindi ako nahuli ng isang admin. Haha."

"I probably need to get a bath in there, too."

"Nope, Gwynne, off-limits na talaga. Pag lumalapit ka meron invisible barrier at notif na nagsasabing the area is prohibited." Sabad ni Kar1n.

"Anyway, anu class mo, R1n?"

"Evangelist."

"Wow, kalian ka pa naging relihiyoso?"

"I'm serious. Evangelist." She looked at the Great Pyrium and held out her hands. "Let reborn be without pain." The dragon's skin went back to its original fiery color. "See what I mean?"

We all nodded. I noticed several blinking lights on a radar I hung on one of the tent's supports.

"Well, well well." I looked at a distance. The clouds of sand appeared in the horizon. "The much-awaited visitors are near."
