"Now, this is going to be the last stroke! Heaven and Earth, witness the completion of I, Adrian Glen's masterpiece!" Declared a haggard looking old man in front of something that was never been seen before in this world. It had exquisite design, but had an imposing appearance and aura.
In front of this thing, the feared Eagle Artillery would look like a normal building! Because it was already dark and clouds seemed to gather in the sky, even though the base was the only visible place, it still could still bring terror to anyone who would see it. Such was created by the Master Builder with a godlike reputation in this world. He had many disciples across the world that were also very well known.
He is the Legendary Builder, Adrian Glen.
A single stroke would complete this piece, a single tick of a small hammer would complete it.
Adrian could feel a strong sense of danger, he did not know where it came from, but he did not care. He only stared at the place where he would put his last strike on. He raised his hammer, a hammer with a wooden handle, made with ordinary iron with no impurities, but there was a gold designed with a house-like appearance at each sides. If another person saw it,builder or not, they would be shocked.
Because the godly item, Hammer of Building was being used just to complete a last stroke for this new creation.
The Hammer of Building was also created by Adrian when he was still young as an experiment. At first, it was only a one time use item. Even then, it was still coveted by builders and non-builders alike. Why? Because the hammer had the power to read the mind and instantly create what you want to create as long as you willed it. Of course, as long as you have the resources to make it.
But that was when he was young, and as a Dwarf, they had a lifespan half of that of an Elf, which was five hundred years old.
After creating millions of things over those years, his techniques, skills, and abilities improved.
When he finally reached the age of 340, he remembered his forgotten craft, the Hammer of Building. It was an interesting concept, so he casually made one and was surprised that it wasn't a one time use anymore. It could now be used two times.
His interest grew as he began to seriously think and make these hammers. Until he finally reached 3 times. Ten years passed and he created 3 more hammers with different functions, with a 4 as total.
Hammer of Building, Hammer of Fighting, Hammer of Heroes, and Hammer of Spells. He always put his best and even exceeds his limits when creating things, and creating this for hammers were no exception.
Even then, he could only improve the hammers limit to ten times. But he was still content with it.
He called them ... Magic Hammers!
100 Years passed, in these years, he accepted exactly 100 disciples after traveling the world. Humans, Beasts, Elves, and even Demons, Adrian did not discriminate. He taught them the Way of Building, he did not hold back at all, teaching them all he knew. The only rule he made was: Only the trusted and worthy are to be given Magic Items.
The saying you can learn from everyone was proven in these years. Even though he was also a Grand Master of Building, a Grand Master of Alchemy still took him as a disciple.
After millions of trial and error with his Master and disciples, they created many things. They called them... Magic Items.
His four Magic Hammers, Runes, Potions and the Books. These were the Magic Items they created. He was a master in creating in all of it, except for the Magic Books. He only touched it's surface before leaving to create his Masterpiece. He knew he had a little time remaining.
...
With anticipation, excitement, nervousness, and fear... these were the emotions he was experiencing right now as he raised his hammers readying to complete the last stroke.
"Tank!"
When that last stroke hit, the aura of the 'thing' multiplied a hundred times! The clouds that were gathering slowly earlier stirred as they created a cyclone with the 'thing' as the center. Slowly, the clouds turned darker and darker, gathering farther and farther filling the heavens. Violet! It was a terrifying sight that could send horror down to anyone's whole being. Especially when it reaches far and wide, with an area nearing a million.
It was then that Adrian knew!
He created something that he shouldn't have! He created something that the heavens did not allow! And now, the heavens were destroying it, and the heavens were also destroying him!
But contrary to everyone's fear and horror, he smiled... he smiled with satisfaction and contentment. He looked at his calloused large hands, hands that created millions. It could now be considered the hands of a soon to be... Legend!
As he stood there by the side of his final creation, his Masterpiece, the purple cloud was now release sparks of different colors and screeching like gigantic eagles in the sky.
"Even if the world has not seen my last creation, I am still content knowing that it was truly a creation worthy of naming it as my masterpiece! Haha!" He raised his head and laughed while staring unblinking at the blinding nine-colored light coming his way.
"CRASH!!!" "BOOOOMMMM!!"
That was the Legend of Adrian Glen, the man who created something he shouldn't have.
...
"Uwaaaa! Ungaaaa!" It also marks the day when a baby was born but the nurse had to spank him until he cried.
I am naming him Adrian Glen. Sorry if you don't like it.
Thank you for reading.
