Somehow depressed, I walk towards the underfloor where the real shop was, there I found the Dwarf Gerak waiting for me.

"You are late! And that is your first day at that! Danzel!"

"How should I even know If you didnt even tell me..." I, Rue Danzel replied.

Thats right, yesterday when Gerak asked for my name I panicked for a moment. It wasnt like I could just say that I had somehow hit my head and got amnesia from it. That would be beyond stupid.

Not only did I mention that I had a father but that I also knew about creating runes that almost no one can.

Considering all that, I had to come with a name out of the fly that would be decent enough to be called that.

Thus ending up with the name of Rue Danzel.

And surprisingly my name in the status window changed too by that.

"Sigh...and here I thought you had some common knowledge in that head of yours. Most people would be at their work at this time."

"Did you call me here to complain or for me to make some actual runes?"

"Sigh, follow me..."

Following the old dwarf, we reached this workplace where I guessed made these weapons. Looking at where Gerak was pointing at an anvil with a towel at the top.

"This is..?" I asked confused.

"That my friend..." With excitement written in the dwarf's face, pulling the towel off was a sword with a menacing aura around it and a crimson red crystal in the middle of the handle.

If it werent for the sharp edge that the weapon had I would even consider it a decorative weapon made for sadistic people.

"Is what I hope you put a rune on!"

Upon hearing that, I completely froze in place, looking dazed at the dwarf.

"Y-You want me to put a rune into that sword..? Wouldnt an armor be more suitable?" Danzel hurriedly said, while trying to rack this mind for various excuses to avoid carving a rune in that sword.

Alas, these freshly made excuses were imminently shot down by the dwarf.

"Hmm? What are you talking about? Of course, it has to be a sword if we are talking about selling our first product in the black market! Although armors are important to use, they are nowhere as attractive as a weapon!"

`Damnit! The Rune Ese is only for armor! Danzel cursed internally while putting all this no one existent brain cells to work to think of a solution.

And like a flash of insight that came from this ingenious mind.

"Would you mind if I were to look at this sword first? I will have to check if there would be enough for the rune to fit the blade."

"Sure~sure, go ahead and take a look," Gerak said with a grin on this face.

Danzel on the other side wanted to laugh at this face right now.

`Hah! Your ignorance will be my blessing!

Nodding to the dwarf I went ahead appraised the weapon.

[Ravagers Sword] A sword made by a journeyman dwarf blacksmith. The blade was crafted with pure dwarf iron and by the arts of a dwarf blacksmith, which resulted in the blade becoming more durable with a sharper edge. The sword holds a low middle tier enchantment that is fulled of a fire crystal. The enchantment allows any wound made by this weapon to either have the effect [Bleed] or [Burning Wounds], the choice is is for the user to make.

`This weapon surely sounds nasty to get wounded by. Heh, not for me though! The weapons effect had a clear intent in mind, that is to leave a devastating wound on your enemy. Which does sound powerful.

But that is if you were one of those lame mortals you reliant on flesh!

Who needs flesh when you have such bones as mine!

Shaking lightly my head to remove the useless thought, I focus on the task at hand.

What I told Gerak about was neither the truth nor false.

Yes, I did need to see where I have to place the rune, but according to the information in my mind about runes is that as long the given object isnt in a bad condition or has already a rune in it. Carving a Rune should be possible.

By a glance, you could see that the [Ravagers Sword] was in top condition with no runes carved in it.

"Alright...lets begins." Raising my finger to the status window, I pressed at [Dead Rune Knowledge].

My plan to get out of my current situation was quite the simple one.

Rely on luck!

If I didnt have a rune for a sword I simply had to buy it!

[Common]: Cost 10 000 XP to learn Random Rune.

`Alright, I have 28 625 XP in my storage which means two tries before my whole wallet runs dry!

Full with determination, I pressed at buy [Common] option.

[10 000 XP have been used to learn a common random rune]

[You acquired the normal Rune Vis]

"Please be a sword rune..." mumbling to himself, Danzel opened the runes information.

[Rune Vis]: One of the most simple runes amongst the common Rune Language. It allows the user to have the same visual ability as if he didnt have a helmet, to begin with. Can only be placed on Helmet armor parts.

`You useless thing!

The rune by itself did look really good and that it will be convenient If I were to put it in my helmet, but it wasnt what I was searching for!

Bringing all my remaining hope in my finger, I pressed at the buy option again.

[10 000 XP have been used to learn a common random rune]

[You acquired the normal Rune Ser]

[Rune Ser]: One of the most simple runes amongst the common Rune Language. It slightly increases the cutting ability of an edge. Cannot be used on blunt weapons.

"Ugh, my head...at least it was worth it." Grabbing my head out of pain from the information overload that came in my mind from those runes, that didnt stop my eyes to flared up for a sec out of excitement.

It was an unconscious reaction of my body. Similar to how my eyes would flame up when I used [Sin of Wraith].

"Hey Danzel, how is it, can you place a rune in that sword?"

"Everything is fine...give me some time and the rune will be in the sword before you know it." Taking the [Ravagers Sword] in my hand I walked towards the stairs leading to the upper floor which got a weird look from the dwarf.

"Huh? Where are you going?" Gerak said with a frown on this face.

Turning around, I looked at him as if he was an idiot pretending to be a dumpass.

"Wait, you didnt expect that I would runesmith in front of you right?"

Although he couldnt see my face cause of my helmet, he pretty much guessed that I looked at him with dead fish eyes.

Scratching this neck embarrassingly, he looked at my eyes full of hope.

"So I cant after all..?"

"No." Danzel bluntly replied.

"Tch, fine! But at least tell me what rune you will be putting on that sword! I worked my a#s off to make that thing!"

"I will place a rune that will make the edge sharper than it was before. Now if you excuse me..."

Leaving the stunned dwarf at this workshop, I left for my room.

Sitting in my bed, I searched for the information inside my mind about the Rune Ser.

"Huh, that rune seems easier than the previews one. Is it because of the equipment difference? I might pull it off this time."

After making sure that I closed the door and covered the window, I activated [Rune Vision] and went right into carving the rune into the now colorless world.

And within an hour, the rune was complete!

[Common Rune Ser successfully engraved, Rating: Good]

[You received 2000 XP]

"Huh, where did that XP come from?" Looking at the XP window that appeared, I was confused.

But after thinking about it only one explanation came to my mind.

"Is just a guess that I will have to try out, but... is this part of the passive training?"

What if I were able to gain XP by making runes of at least Good quality?

Do I gain more XP by making a more high quality rune?
