Rank 39 out of 39. Dead last. The scoreboard doesn’t lie. I’m an artificer—the wrench, not the sword. I keep the people who fight alive. Nobody writes songs about the wrench. Then I punched a broken breastplate in the armory annex at two in the morning, and the crack closed. The plate belonged to Reni. Knight. Level 14. The kind they paint on recruiting banners. When she put it on the next morning, the System told her defense was up forty percent… and asked if she wanted to attach to the forge lord who crafted it anew. Only thing? Nobody’s had a forge lord in three hundred years. ...
