Chapter 19: Alfostrog Marblehorn
Zeus was completely miffed he was stuck in the first floor, and he had read all the books before and now he was forced to re-read them again and again, he gritted his teeth he wanted to give up many times now, but he had to increase his stats, he suddenly found he could no longer increase his stats anymore.
'hmm may be I cannot because I am reading the same thing over and over again.', he sighed as he stood up and left the library, let me see what I have gained till now.
He glanced at the notifications and just like previously he had gained a few perks as his Intelligence and Wisdom had crossed the100 threshold, although currently he had managed to increase it by a fair amount, he was still confused at what he saw, 'I am above 200, but what is the minimum for another perk. I will have to search for it later on, for now let me see my new perks then.'

Zeus sighed he was happy with his progress, but it was time really tiring and grueling, he wished that he had an alternate method to increase his stats what they are doing is basically wasting time, if it continues like this they will be left in the dust and he refuses to give up like this.
As a scowling Zeus moved through the slum area he was greeted with a sight of some people cursing a 'Dwarf', where did this 'Dwarf' came from as he neared he heard about the people cursing him like no tomorrow, " You old smelly bastard go die in a ditch, I hope you suffer from herpes, I …."
Zeus blushed as the curses became more and more degrading and creative, he literally shoved his fingers in his ears in order to prevent hearing them.
A few minutes later, the Dwarf looked at the person with an intense look in his eyes, everyone stopped at that as they watched him tensely as he raised a huge sack, then everyone watched him take out a big bottle with strange reddish liquid out of it, making them tense the situation was so thick it could be done with a knife, everyone waited with their breath held.
The person who put up a brave face as he spoke, "Wh-what are you doing? Do you dumb pile of CRAP THINK YOU CAN FRIGHTEN ME DO YOUR WORSE."
The dwarf opened the bottle took a swig from it, before belching out loud and then he closed his eyes started to snore leaving a dumbfounded audience Zeus was having hard time trying not to collapse on the ground laughing.
The person huffed in anger as he left stomping on the ground towards another blacksmith shop, where a group of people were present talking with a human with a wide smile.
Zeus went towards a fellow player as he spoke with him, "Hey man, what was all this commotion about."
The person beside glanced at him lazily as he spoke, "That over there is self proclaimed master blacksmith, he placed a challenge that anyone who could move his hammer would be able to become his student in blacksmithing so far none is able to, not only that he is asking for 1 Bronze coin per trail, those who failed will not be allowed to attempt the trail again.'
Zeus raised one of his eyebrows as he neared the shop, as he used 'Observe' on the hammer, as he read the information his breath hitched.

Zeus went near the hammer, a box with a coin symbol placed near him, he put a single Bronze coin in it before he lifted the hammer as he inspected it closely.
"Not bad not bad a voice came from behind him."
Zeus gave a startling squeak, no not a startling squeak but a very many and world shaking warcry in order to intimidate his prey.
Zeus coughed at his hands composing himself, the dwarf blacksmith simply had eyes full of mirth as he spoke, "Not bad brat my name is Master Blacksmith Alfostrog Marblehorn, so what is your name brat."
Zeus: "My name is Zeus."
Alfostrog nodded at that as he spoke, "Not a very nice name but oh well, from today on you are my apprentice here take this sack and follow and no DILLYDALLYIING OR ELSE I WILL BREAK YOUR LEG."
[CONGRATULATIONS ON BECOMING 'MASTER' BLACKSMITH ALFOSTROG MARBLEHORN's DISCIPLE.

Alfostrog turned towards Zeus as he spoke in a gruff voice, "What are waiting for did you forgot how to use your legs, hurry up now."
Zeus quickly ran after him as he replied back, "Yes teacher."
