The monster lay defeated on the ground, turning into grey dust. The villagers of Dariyapur stood in silence, looking at Dayal. He was breathing hard, his golden hammer still glowing in his hand.
Suddenly, the blue system screen flashed again.
[ Mission 1 Completed! ]
[ Rewards: 100 Energy Points & Skill: 'God of Enhancement' (Passive) ]
[ New Skill Description: You can now see the hidden potential of any metal and upgrade its strength by 200%. ]
Dayal felt a strange warmth flowing through his veins. When he looked at his old furnace and the pieces of brass on the floor, they looked different. He could see tiny glowing lines on the metal. These were "Soul Veins"—the secret to making legendary items.
"Dayal! How did you do that?" a voice called out. It was the village elder, walking slowly with a wooden cane.
"I... I just used my father's hammer, Elder," Dayal replied, hiding the glowing screen from others. He knew the System was his secret.
The Elder looked worried. "That monster was just a scout. More will come from the Dark Mountains. We need weapons, Dayal. But we only have old bronze and brass."
Dayal looked at his system interface. A new mission appeared.
[ Mission 2: Craft the 'Sun-Fire Sword' for the Village Guardian. ]
[ Requirement: Use 5kg of Brass and 10 Energy Points. ]
"Don't worry, Elder," Dayal said firmly. "Give me until tomorrow morning. I will craft something this village has never seen."
Dayal went back to his workshop and locked the door. He took a raw piece of brass and placed it in the fire. Normally, it would take hours to melt, but with his new skill, the fire turned a bright white.
[ System: Enhancement Skill Activated! ]
As he struck the glowing metal, the hammer didn't just shape it. Each hit added a golden light into the sword. The brass was no longer just a simple metal; it was becoming harder than diamond and sharper than a razor.
After hours of hard work, a beautiful sword lay on the anvil. It wasn't dull yellow anymore; it glowed like the sun.
[ Item Created: Sun-Fire Sword (Rare Grade) ]
[ Power Level: 150 ]
[ Special Effect: Deals fire damage to monsters. ]
Dayal wiped the sweat from his forehead. He was exhausted, but he smiled. With the "Bronze God's System," he wasn't just a village boy anymore. He was a creator of legends.
