As morning came everyone woke up, the whole night was spent peacefully as no monsters intruded upon the clearing between the forests. A welcome sight greeted them when they opened their eyes.

“Wow, we can make our own equipment, awesome!” Shadow jumps in elation as he reads the notification, the others however stay silent as they read further.
[ Only one player can make a piece, depending on what he chooses the next player’s item will be lower in capabilities, or there will be no further opportunity. ]
“So if someone chooses grade A or heavily customizes a piece then there’s no chance for anyone else to make one huh.” Reign looks over at Wolf and tells him. “You should make a sword Wolf, you’re the only one that’s still using a Rank C, not to mention that I know you don’t want to lose its ability.”
Wolf flinches as he hears Reign’s words, they were true of course, he had gotten incredibly familiar with his sword and the way it can change weight, even if he had a rank B put in front of him he would probably not use it because of that.
“That’s too much to- “Wolf’s words were cut off by the stares of everyone else, even Shadow stopped jumping up and down and looked at him, their answer was clear.
“Thanks.” Wolf simply thanks them, there was no need to say anything else between them right now, they were comrades that went through multiple life and death situations together, all of them had incredible trust in each other.
Wolf starts customizing a weapon, immediately he chooses a great sword and starts molding it, he makes the thickness of the blade a bit thinner, while at the same time making it a bit longer to have added reach. From the list of materials, he chooses a young drake’s fang, a material suitable for making strong B rank weapons. He tries to make the handle to be as similar as possible to his own, alas as he never did such a thing he could not make it the same, he uses a piece of leather to wrap it, allowing his hand to absorb more shock through it.
On the end of the sword, he creates crevices on one side, that would allow him to rip apart the insides of his enemies’ bodies, given they were big enough to withstand a direct attack that is. The blade’s color was a dirty white, the edges of the sword shined dangerously in the light, showing its incredible cutting ability.
He adds numerous lines on the sword, purely for aesthetic reasons. After he was finally done an hour had passed, Reign and the others had checked the skill hidden in the Rank C Cultists Ring, only to find out that the bonuses it gave to stats were mediocre compared to the amount of blood it drained, Reign takes it, saving it as a last-resort skill.
A bright light shines from Wolf’s hands, once it subsides only a huge, white sword was left in them. Looking at his sword he checks its description and nods in satisfaction.
[ Rank B DragonBone Greatsword ]
Atk: 65
Def: 10
Strength + 2
Endurance + 1
Description: A sword of unknown origin that was forged with a young dragon’s fang. The maker of the sword wanted it to have the ability to freely change weight, even with the expense of added stats. By using mana the user can make the sword 500g light or 40kg heavy.
Everyone looked at the description of the sword in awe, the weight difference had changed considerably, 500g was light for a normal human to wield not to mention them, something like that was like a feather in their hands. The weight of 40kg was also incredible, it was double the previous one’s limit after all, with Wolf’s strength it would still take a considerable effort to swing something like that, but the damage it could deal would be astonishing, he could probably crush a normal-sized tree in one swing.
Wolf swings his sword around, trying to get familiar with it, even though he tried to make it similar to his there were still differences, the handle, the weight distribution, not to mention the change to possible weight, he had to experience all of that to make sure he wouldn’t make a mistake in battle.
Everyone looks over to the system prompt, seeing that there was no more opportunity for an item they simply shrugged their shoulders, already expecting such an outcome. For them, it was more important that Wolf gets a new weapon as their strength as a team would rise.
Wolf spars with Tank and Reign for a bit, after finally feeling that he was adjusted to the new sword he stops and joins them in getting ready for the new area. They get everything back in the inventory and slowly make their way towards the forest.
The forest in front of them looked normal, well if you overlook the giant trees that is. They make sure that nobody is near the entrance as they finally step into it. As they get in a notification flashes in front of their eyes.
[ IronBark Woods ]
They all look at the name of the forest, it was a lot less daunting and formidable compared to the previous ones, they all knew that was not the case, however, as this would be the most dangerous place they have ever gone to.
