Chapter 23 - The Hidden Hammer

The sun was setting over the quiet village of Dariyapur. Arjun was working in his small workshop, surrounded by the smell of melting metal and the sound of his own heavy breathing.

​"I need to finish this before dark," Arjun whispered to himself. He was trying to craft a small statue, but his tools were old and weak.

​Suddenly, his shovel hit something hard in the ground. Clang! It wasn't a normal stone. Arjun dug faster, his hands covered in dust. Deep under the earth, he saw a glow. It was a hammer, made of a strange, dark bronze metal. It looked ancient, yet it was shining like new.

​The moment Arjun's fingers touched the handle, a cold wind blew through the workshop. A bright blue screen appeared in the air before his eyes.

​[System Initializing...]

[10%... 50%... 100%]

[Welcome, Host! The Divine Crafting System is now active.]

​Arjun rubbed his eyes. "What is this magic?" he gasped.

​The screen changed:

[Mission 1: Repair the Broken Sword.]

[Reward: 100 Exp and 'Basic Sharpness' Skill.]

​Beside the hammer lay an old, rusted blade. Arjun picked up the mysterious bronze hammer and struck the rust. With just one hit, the rust vanished. The sword began to glow with a sharp, silver light.

​[Success! Level Up!]

[You have reached Level 2.]

​Arjun felt a sudden rush of strength in his arms. He looked at the hammer and then at the screen. He was no longer just a village artisan. He was the chosen one.

​The legend of the Bronze God had just begun.
