Soul Fusion Online-Chapter 113: New Armor

[An: Bonus Chapter 1/3]

Ryu sat in the armament room, looking at the tools on the table, feeling a bit at a loss. "This is much different than what I had expected." Scratching his head, he looked around until he spotted a bookshelf. He walked over and looked at the old scrolls stored here before picking one up and started reading it. "This does not go over the basics, so I will need to find another one..."

After searching for a while, Ryu finally found the one he was looking for. It was basic instructions on how each tool worked. Once he understood this, he pulled out the snakeskin from the boss in the dungeon and began softening it up using a special green liquid that was a mix of a few plants. A cotton flower, a silk plant, and a unique soul plant called a fiengaeala. Once crushed and boiled, it will create a green liquid that, when applied to a thick leathery skin it will soften it to be more like a cotton shirt. Besides softening the leather, it would also allow it to be dyed, so Ryu used some water, tannins, and some iron, mixed and crushed them together to make some black dye.

After the snake leather was dyed and dried, Ryu could finally begin making some armor for himself. Because Chi was busy, he had Fu Shi help in taking measurements before going to work making the design sheets he would use as a stencil to cut out the shapes.

Once it was all sewn together and fitting right, this was when things were to really begin when it came to armament creation. There was what was called an infusion chamber. You had to take your armor inside this chamber and then add in different kinds of materials. This would give the items special effects. As a beginner, Ryu would only be able to add two materials without destroying his new armor. And for this, he chose two titan ores that would add extra defense to his armor.

"Here goes nothing!" Ryu dropped the ore into the chamber, closed it tightly, and then poured his soul qi into the chamber. For the best results, Ryu had to keep a steady flow of soul qi pouring into the chamber. If his concentration at this time was broken at all during this process, he could end up destroying everything, and Ryu did not have much of this snake hide. With how big the snake was, the fact that he did not get much hide was a bit unfair.

One hour passed, then two. Sweat dripped from Ryu's brow, but the infusion process was just about done. Thirty minutes later, finally, a ding sound was heard from the chamber, and Ryu stopped injecting his soul qi. He slowly opened the pot to see a purple glowing black t-shirt and black pants lying there in the pot. As soon as he picked it up, a notification showed up on his HUD.

[New Amor Created Please Name]

"A name, huh? " Ryu thought for a moment before entering a name.

"Oh? Not bad… For a regular dungeon… Wait, if I recall..." Ryu went back to his system notification logs and brought up the world announcement when they cleared the dungeon. "What the hell is Hard Mode!? Dungeons have modes!?"

Ryu looked through his menus but saw nothing that would answer his question, so he posted a message on the forums.

@Ryu: Anyone know if the dungeons in this game had different modes?

@ButterMyNuts: Aren't you one of the people who just recently cleared a dungeon on hard mode? Why the fuck do you not know if dungeons have modes or not?

@FreeLoader: Someone is salty that they couldn't do a dungeon. Ryu, ignore this bastard. As far as I know, you are the only one who has entered a dungeon as of yet since they are hard to find. But from what people have asked on the live stream they did during launch, the dungeons have four modes. Easy, Normal, Hard, and Hell mode and the team leader can pick which mode the dungeon will be.

@Ryu: That explains it. I wasn't the team leader. I will ask them then and see if they saw the window or not. Thanks for the information. And ButterMyNuts, come to Roland Village so I can PK you over and over until you reach level 0 again. Don't talk shit unless you got something between your legs to account for that shit you talk.

@ButterMyNuts: Fuck you!

@FreeLoader: PK ButterMyNuts back to Level 0 +1

@Ryu: PK ButterMyNuts back to Level 0 +1

@BraveSoul: PK ButterMyNuts back to Level 0 +1

@FatPanda: PK ButterMyNuts back to Level 0 +1

@Violet: PK ButterMyNuts back to Level 0 +1

@Rose: PK ButterMyNuts back to Level 0 +1

@WhiteLotus: PK ButterMyNuts back to Level 0 +1

@ButterMyNuts: Fuck you all! I'm gonna tell my daddy on you!

Ryu saw that the girls were online and sent WhiteLotus a message: "You're on late."

"Yeah, we only got on for a little while before we need to log out." WhiteLotus replied. She decided not to bring up the issue with GreenHat at this time until she knew what was going on herself. But for tonight, she talked with the girls and decided to let loose a bit and run around and kill things.

"Alright, have fun. I will go back to crafting. Oh yeah, the demon quest is already over. Chi and I killed it earlier." Ryu wanted to make sure he told WhiteLotus that things were all settled before they wasted any more time.

"Why doesn't that surprise me. Was it that lady from before?" WhiteLotus asked.

"Yes, it turned into a huge ugly monster." Ryu answered.

"Welp, at least now the people of this town will be safe. I will let you go, Rose and Violet are complaining about me not paying attention. Bye-bye!" WhiteLotus said goodbye and went back to fighting the monster in front of her.

Ryu shook his head and put his new armor on. "Mmm comfortable."
