The Tale Of A Golem Master

Author's Note:

Hey guys!

Hope you enjoy this mega chapter for the start of the new volume!

I'm glad you all have been enjoying so far.

I plan on writing other fanfictions along side this one so let me know if you have any suggestions.

Alright, enough of the soppy stuff! Lets get on with the chapter!

[Something Unprecedented happened.]

[A Legend has been Created.]

[Congratulations! You have achieved something that tinkerers around the world would only dream of! You have created a Homunculus. Class has been upgraded to Unique grade and requirement of five legendary golems has been reduced to four!]

I slowly stopped crying and looked down at the homunculus I created to mimic my daughter. She gained clarity in her eyes and looked up at me. Her first words to me nearly broke my heart right then and there.

[???] "Papa!"

After she said that, she jumped into my arms. I started crying again, I didn't hold back anymore and let it all out. After another few hours, I looked at her status, and she had the same name as my daughter in real life with a different last name.

When I looked at her status, I almost fainted right then and there. I kept Juliet in my embrace, with Fenrir on my head, as I introduced everyone to her.

[Everywhere Else in Satisfy]

[A Legend has been Created]

All of Satisfy saw this announcement and were mystified by it. It was different from the last announcement about a legend being born. The majority of the populace wanted to find out who this legend was. Others, more specifically the other miracle players, just put it behind them to focus on their own objectives, all except one.

[????] "Did he actually manage to do it this soon?"

[S.A. Group]

[Lim Cheolo] "Impossible! He shouldn't have been able to make a legend this early, what could have possibly triggered this?"

As the owner, and creator of Satisfy, went around in circles to search for an answer that not even Morpheus could find. It was at that point that Morpheus decided to treat the golems that Daz creates as NPC. Little did the super A.I. know what kind of storm would brew in the future. One thing was for sure, Grid was no longer the only new legend in Satisfy.

[Back to the wonderful MC]

After everything settled down, I was in the smithy, with Juliet on my l.a.p and Fenrir on my head. Torva was determined to make a pair of amazing swords for Juliet to use, along with some good armor. I found out that Juliet will grow as she levels and then stop growing at around level 100. Then she would start growing again at around level 300. When she hits level 100 she will look like a teenage version of her current self, which was what I was aiming for. I was also didn't tell Agnus just yet since I wanted to wait until I made a golem that could mimic the love of my life. Agnus is trying to do the same thing, but with undead. I won't believe for a second that I would be able to make her just yet though. Making Juliet was just through sheer luck. After Torva made one Epic and one unique sword, and Juliet was outfitted with some armor, I had five golem teams mobilize with us, as Juliet and I, rode Fenrir towards the canyon. I didn't care if people saw me anymore, one third of my goal has been complete, it's good enough. Also I have Fenrir to protect Juliet if need be. We were all in the disguise of the signature mask I had made though.

I figured that I would encounter a few players, but I didn't expect to encounter the Tzedakah guild here, minus Grid. I just hope they don't bother us.

[Pon] "Hey Master! Do you know of an NPC group that wears a skull mask?"

[Jishuka] "I heard about them from a few NPC's in WInston, they were there once to visit the blacksmith competition. Other than that I don't know. Why do you…."

[Jishuka POV]

At that time, she finally noticed a giant group of NPC's with various classes, along with what seemed like their leader sitting on top of a gigantic wolf, and with him seemed like his daughter. I started to sweat when I saw that wolf, it should be as powerful as a level 280 boss, maybe even more powerful. This just screams quest to me, so I approached the group, with my guild following behind.

[Jishuka] "Excuse me sir, may I ask what you are doing in the Kesan Canyon?"

[Skull Masked Male] "Hold your tongue! You are speaking to the king of our kind!"

Ok, First impressions have fallen through, let's hope I can still pull this off.

[Jishuka] "I am terribly sorry for offending you sir! I am completely ignorant to the ways of your people. May I kindly ask what your king is doing in this canyon, and if there is anything me and my guild can do to help?"

[Skull Masked King] "Raise your head, I don't like formalities. What I am doing in this canyon is of no concern to you. However, what you can do is either clear out your guild from this canyon, or help my daughter level up to 100. The choice is yours, so choose wisely."

[To Help a Legend]

Difficulty: SSS

The Golem King Daz wants to see his daughter grow through leveling and will do anything in his power to achieve that. He cares for his daughter more than himself and would break the heavens and hell if she were hurt.

The daughter of Golem King Daz, named Juliet is excited to grow up and show her skills off to her father. However, her older brother, Fenrir is almost as worried about her as her father. The werewolf would stop at nothing, including his own life for her safety.

Due to Daz being overly worried for the safety of his daughter, he dispatched half of the forces of his home to protect his daughter. Each of them have trained in their class 24/7 and have unyielding loyalty for their king and the new princess.

The king has decided that the canyon was the most ideal and quickest way for his daughter to level due to how close the place is to his home.

Quest Clear Conditions: Help Princess Juliet get to level 100 so that she could m.a.t.u.r.e into her teenage self. Or Leave the Kesan Canyon

Bonus Condition: Help Princess Juliet get to level 150

Quest Clear Reward: A set of epic or higher equipment depending on the quality of completion.

* A Golem Companion of the same class

Bonus Clear Reward: Reputation with Princess Juliet +20

Quest Failure: Level -10, Become Fenrir's chew toy, Permanent enemy of GolemKind.

*Only up to five people can accept this quest.

I started to sweat again, this is unheard of! An SSS rated quest! Was there some form of hidden boss or something in the canyon that was supposed to in hiding unless they appeared? I needed time to think on this so I quickly asked the king if he could wait for a while. He didn't seem to mind and just sat patiently on the giant wolf. I quickly called all of the guild members to come to the canyon, including Grid. The rest of the guild quickly gathered, and Grid came last by flying here. All of them seemed bewildered by this group of NPC's that were mostly unheard of in Satisfy. What threw me off more was what the king said next.

[The Golem King] "That blacksmith over there can't accept this task, I have a different one for him."

After that, A good looking woman walked up to the front of the group, with amazing equipment that was probably of epic rating or higher. She issued a quest to Grid. After she did, he looked like he was about to cough up blood. Before I could figure out why, he showed the details of his quest and the whole guild almost fainted in shock.

[Endearing Spar]

Difficulty: ???

You have encountered the Golem Torva, who for some reason has the same class that you do! You have no way of figuring out how so the only thing you can do is spar with your newly discovered rival!

Torva and The Golem King have been watching you since the beginning and have seen all of your highs and lows. Show them the full extent of your progress and prove your worth to them!

Quest Clear conditions: Win or Lose in a Spar with Torva who has the same class as you.

Quest Clear Reward: Win: Level +10, Reputation GolemKInd +70, All Stats +50 A golem companion made for you with a random class. Lose: Level +5, Reputation with GolemKind +35, a follow up quest.

Wha…? I thought Grid was the only Legendary Blacksmith? It said the same class, but It didn't say the same rating. Does that mean that Torva's class is unique rated? She can't be legendary because from what I could tell from the first quest, the Golem KIng was a legend, or maybe he was an old legend and his daughter is a new legend? Ah, too many questions, and none of them will get answered!

[Daz POV]

I have no idea when I had the ability to issue out quest, or when my hideout/home was considered the golem kingdom, but I just rolled with it. When I saw the guild's reaction to the two quest I laughed but was also surprised by the difficulty of the two of them. Maybe the first one was because I planned on testing them by having my golems fight them before I let them help my daughter level? The second one's difficulty I also don't understand much. Maybe Torva has a huge stat advantage over Grid? I doubt she has a huge item advantage, although she is wearing a full set of epic gear, while wielding a unique greatsword. The benefit of issuing these quest is that the forest I reside in would be expanded and more powerful monsters to farm for levels would be spawned there. The downside is that 'The Golem Kingdom' would be globally announced to the world. I didn't really mind all that much though, The moment these quests are complete, I'm gonna have my golems go on a hunting frenzy to level, I will do the same with Fenrir and Juliet since I want her to be as strong as possible. The only solace is that the location of the kingdom will be locked away and can't be accessed unless you amass a large amount of reputation with golemkind.

Grid rejected the quest issued to him by stating that he wasn't ready to fight Torva. Torva was disappointed, but didn't mind all that much and was willing to wait. Jishuka, Vanter, Ibellin, Pon, and Faker accepted the quest to help Juliet. I decided to hold off on having my golems spar against them and let them help her level. However, the funny part about that was the fact that she could kill a canyon spider by herself at level 1. Which I found absurd, and so did everyone else. The only thing I did was follow the group around, with Fenrir staying close to Juliet, without interrupting her and the Tzedakah guild from leveling. By the time she hit level 80, around two in game days passed by. Fenrir brought Juliet back to me after Jishuka's group finished off the last scorpion. They were in bewilderment until the ground started to shake. A giant sand centipede came out from under the sand. It was level 270 and had friends. I guess that's where the difficulty came in. All of us just sat back and watched as Jishuka's party took on the boss. They really need a dedicated healer, I guess I could send in help, but that would lower the difficulty of the quest. Eh, I'll do it if it looks like they can't handle it.

[Jishuka's POV]

At first when we started this quest I thought it would be a piece of cake, and that the difficulty was just a red herring. I mean Princess Juliet was able to kill a canyon scorpion at level 1! Faker gathered together a ton of mobs, and we just killed them as fast as possible. I felt as if all the monsters in the area thought that Princess Juliet was a beacon though. Faker didn't even need to gather monsters after a certain point since they just charged towards us at any chance they got. By the time that it looked like no more monsters were around, Juliet was only at level 80. It boggles my mind as to how since some of those monsters were around level 180-200. We sat down after Faker finished off the last one, but the moment he did, Juliet's older brother, Fenrir, lifted her up and carried her to The Golem King. All of us were wondering why, but at that moment I realized why this quest had such a difficulty.

[Back to MC]

The centipede was at half health now and it's friends were dead. Juliet already passed level 100 and looked like she was around 15. Jishuka's party seemed fine, it was mostly because Pon had a unique spear, and ibelliem had a legendary sword that was made by Grid. I was really looking forward to Grid and Torva having a sparring match. Oops, the Tzedakah guild just lost reputation with me. Oh well. They managed to beat the centipede after a while, but barely survived. I stopped them from using potions and had my priest heal them. I checked Juliet's level and she was at level 135. That is a pretty large amount of experience to gain. Looks like they seem pretty happy, the boss dropped the gear that was their reward for the quest so now I just need to make golems for them. I ordered them to follow me back.

[The Golem King Has made his presence known to the world. If the Golem Kingdom is found, new quest may open up.]

Since that announcement was made, I had to get my golems grinding some levels faster. Thankfully I left Martimer, Joul, and Gladius back at home to defend the place. I let them know to organize all the golems available to start fighting the new monsters that would appear in the forest. According to Martimer, four new dungeons opened up and replaced the previous ones that were there. That will be good for me in the long run. Once we reached the halfway point of the forest, a large gate was blocking the way. Gladius was standing there, awaiting our arrival. I had him let us in, but keep the Tzedekah guild out and have them wait in front of the gate. Once we got inside the gate, it looked like all of the floors of my original hideout was brought to the surface and made into buildings that would match each relevant room. Heck, there was even a castle at the center of the large city. When I entered the castle, I spotted a room which I assumed was used for making my golems.

I got to work right away on making golems that would match the five members of the Tzedakah guild's classes. I decided to model them to look just like them, but with different hair and eyes colors so that they could be told apart. I had given each of them crimson hair and red eyes. Another thing that I noticed was that I could make normal golems to mimic citizens. I didn't really see a need for that though other than a cook. I'm sure at some point, players will come here so I should be ready for them. I should also prepare in case other kingdoms or the empire finds my home as well. I want to get Fenrir to at least level 400, just to be safe. I also have to make a follow up quest since they completed the bonus condition of the quest I issued. I could just have them do fetch quest for me. Actually it would be a better idea to just give them milestone quest for the golems I would give them. I'll just let the system determine what the milestones would be per golem. I also decided to change up what golems each of them would get. Jishuka is the only one that would get a melee golem, it's class would be knight. Everyone else would either get a mage, archer, or priest. I'll let them decide who gets which golem. Also all the golems except the knight and assassin, with the other two female.

I, mostly did that just to mess with them. I made the assassin one as a surprise for Faker since Shade asked me to not mess with Faker since he was the teacher of all of my assassins before she surpassed him, and became the new teacher. Once I finished, Fenrir hopped off my head and went back into his wolf form, Juliet got on his back, and I followed after her. By the time we arrived back at the gate, I saw the remainder of the guild there except Grid. I didn't really mind, they were probably expecting to get quest that are in this are but, I'm not prepared enough for that. I gave them their respective golems and gave them the right to name the golems. All of the golems I made for them were of the normal rarity but were growth types. I felt as if the system purposely made it that way but, I didn't really mind. I found it funny that all the guild members, except Jishuka and Faker, were either upset or jealous that they got female golems. Trolling at its finest. I'm not sure what the details of the quest they were issued was, but I know that they were clearly excited over it.

Once they left, I set up a rotation for my golems, when it came to grinding for levels. Every 12 hours, they would switch with the other half of my golem teams to grind the new dungeons. If there are mines, then protect the goblin miners and get the new ores. I need to drastically increase the amount of golem teams I have. So I went to my workshop and quickly got to work. The sooner I get this done, the sooner I can start leveling Juliet again.

Overtime, a bunch of things managed to happen. Torva witnessed Grid discovering a Myth graded item so she can now make Myth rated items. Although I doubt she will make one for a long time. It really upset me when he extorted the rebecca church, after they were left with barely anything left after he killed the corrupted pope. Welp, his reputation with golem kind is almost in the negative, sucks to be him. After that, I continued to focus on making golems. I already made my accessory maker golem and he is currently in his own workshop outside the castle. I started to mix together production methods and had mixed results each time. When I did a normal mage and priest together, I managed to make a summoner golem. I then proceeded to make a ton more of them. After that point though, none of the other combinations worked and just failed. I did use one of my golem creation slots to do a new class of golem called magic sniper. It was interesting to see Torva make a sniper rifle that functioned off of magic. It needed to be enhanced by magic so a few mages helped her with it. I decided to make a bunch of them as well since they have absurd attack range and explosive attack power. They can also stealth like an assassin.
