Arjun stared at his hands. He felt a strange energy flowing through his body. The blue screen stayed in front of him, showing his new level.

[Strength: +5]
[Agility: +3]
Suddenly, a loud scream came from outside the village. Arjun ran out of his workshop. The villagers were running in fear. A Shadow Wolf, a dangerous beast with glowing red eyes, had entered the village. It was looking for food, and its teeth were like sharp knives.
"Help! Someone save us!" an old man cried out.
The wolf jumped toward the old man. Without thinking, Arjun grabbed the sword he had just repaired with the Bronze System. The sword felt light and powerful in his hand.
[Warning: Danger! Low-Level Beast detected.]
[Objective: Defeat the Shadow Wolf.]
[Reward: Rare Metal Scrap x5]
Arjun blocked the wolf's claws with his blade. Clang! Sparks flew in the air. In the past, a normal sword would have broken, but this sword was different. It was glowing with a silver light.
Arjun swung the sword with all his strength.
Swish!
The blade cut through the air like butter. It hit the wolf's shoulder, and the beast let out a painful howl. The wolf tried to bite Arjun, but the System flashed a message: [Move Left!]
Arjun moved quickly, avoiding the attack. He turned around and struck the wolf one last time. The beast fell to the ground and turned into black smoke, leaving behind a few pieces of glowing metal.
[Mission Complete!]
[Exp Gained: 200]
[Items Found: 5x Star-Bronze Ore]
The villagers stopped running. They looked at Arjun in surprise. "Arjun? How did you kill that monster?" they asked.
Arjun looked at his glowing bronze hammer hidden in his belt. He realized his life would never be the same again. He wasn't just fixing pots and statues anymore. He was building a legend.
