[...]

Time passed, and a month quickly arrived in the blink of an eye. During that time, Lexus rarely left the smithy and continued grinding to improve his stats. He paid no attention to what was currently happening in the kingdom and simply devoted himself to the forge.

With lady luck greatly favoring him, all the items he had produced were unique ratings. There was a good reason why production class players were so highly sought after in the game or even in real life. Why else would someone play a game? To have fun, of course.

Production players would not have much of a choice and spend most of their time in towns or cities working with various materials such as cloth, leather, metals, etc. How was that supposed to be fun? Hence, the second priority is no other than money.

Players or even NPCs who chose such paths were doing it for the money. However, Lexus was different. He didn't really lack money as a prince; he was genuinely doing it for fun, and the other reason was it was one of a loophole to be stronger - a method exclusive to the legendary blacksmith..

Dang! Dang! Ting! Ting!

With each strike from his hammer, Lexus sent sparks flying. It was a beautiful sight, no matter how many times he had seen it before. Lexus appreciated his legendary second class even more for this.

[A unique-rated item was produced, all stats have permanently risen by +12 and reputation throughout the continent has risen by +300.]

During the time that had passed, Lexus had managed to produce 47 unique rated items. Based on market prices, a level 250 normal-tier equipment will sell for 20 gold. Uncommon equipment on the same level would sell for 50 gold.

Then with the vast difference from unique that each piece he had could be sold at the minumum of one million, then Lexus could sell all of his equipments for almost fifty million gold!

Unlike Lexus, normal blacksmiths didn't profit much from their labors. The main reason was due to the rat race of increasing their crafting skill's level. Almost all blacksmith would have to heavily invest to gain skill levels and to do that, they needed to buy many stocks of forging materials.

This simply proved that no production class could easily survive on their own — not without an organization's support atleast. Though their pockets would lighten up if their skill levels increases, good production methods and good but expensive materials could easily switch the situation around.

With his privilege as a royalty, Lexus was fortunate enough not to have to sell these items. He had another plan that could benefit him even more.

"I could have this equipments as quest rewards to fool some players that I'm an NPC that gives high level quests."

Lexus grinned as he imagined how he could exploit the players in this game. After a while, he found himself roaming in the streets, observing the busy people around him. Some were walking quickly, others were selling goods, and still others were carrying heavy bags for others.

All of them seemed to be ordinary people or simple civilians of Reinhardt. All of them wore linen clothes. Occasionally, younger women with fairer skin walked on the streets. Other people stared at him wherever he went; his white hair attracted their attention.

Looking at his status window, Lexus smiled. The basic abilities listed weren't something a level 20 should have. Aside from that he had legendary skills, unique abilities, and epic skills, it was the status window of someone who was over level 100 or possibly even at level 200.

「 Your abilities are more than enough. I, Madra, now deemed you worthy and it is time for you my successor to receive my first trial. 」

Suddenly, he heard Madra's voice but before he could react, a notification appeared in front of his vision.

[The quest 'Undefeated King's Successor' has been created.]

[Undefeated King's Successor]

Difficulty: Class Quest.

[You have surely inherited Madra's will but you still don't know who Madra was.

Who was Madra? If he was simply a person with good skills, he wouldn't become a legend.

Follow the legends of Madra. If you can collect all of the legends, you will truly understand Madra and succeed his will.

At that moment, a new legend will be born.

* There is no time limit for this class quest.

* The legendary class quest has the power to transform Satisfy's world, according to the result.

Class Quest Clear Reward: Unknown.

* First Class Quest: [Qualification Test].

First Class Quest Clear Condition: Win against the cursed immortal warriors (0/100,000).

First Class Quest Clear Reward: ???.]

Hundred thousand cursed immortals...doesn't that mean players? Wait—I had to kill 100,000 players? Lexus was stunned.

What was the concept of killing 100,000 players? Even killing 100,000 monsters in one day would be difficult, let alone killing 100,000 players. Also if he really killed 100,000 players, it would be estimated that all players in the world would have negative impression of him, right?

But if he won't do this quest, aside from that he won't receive the class quest reward, there was also a chance that he will lose his class forever.

Lexus suddenly realized that his thoughts seemed to have sunk into the wrong section. He was an NPC now, wasn't he being stupid by having the mindset of a player?

"Really, the class quest of this top tier legendary combat class is really insane."

Lexus muttered as he chuckled a bit. He had already expected that the class quests of the Undefeated King's Successor class from the beginning has extreme level of difficulty but seeing and encountering it, couldn't help but make him grin after regaining his composure.

'What will I look like after completing all quests? A blacksmith and a warrior? Or, maybe more? I couldn't anticipate it yet. Perhaps, a new legend would be born.'

Lexus then thought about what had the protagonist had reached and the possibility of surpassing that. He had an idea of what to do so there's no need to be afraid of the first class quest.

As Lexus was about to say that why was Madra was silent after giving this very hard mission, a system message appeared.

[Condition has been satisfied. Activation of the access to players' forum.]

[NPC functions unlocked.]

[Discussion board unlocked.]

"NPC functions? What's this?"

As it did not come with any further information, it seemed that Lexus would have to figure it out on his own. In any case, it was likely to do with the ways that NPCs interacted with players, such as handing out quests, buying and selling goods, and imparting skills.

Interacting with some of them would be a good opportunity to learn more about his NPC functions. The discussion board, on the other hand, was something that Lexus had an idea was slightly familiar with. It was an internal forum that players frequented a lot – especially while waiting to revive.

The button for the discussion board was located on a corner of the interface. Upon opening it up, Lexus was greeted by an empty forum. The account name on the top right of the window indicated 'Guest', and the registration button was grayed out.

Lexus clicked it out of curiosity.

[Attempting to Connect to the virtual game capsule…]

[No Player Detected.]

[Registration Failed.]

It took a few moments for Lexus to understand why – accounts for the discussion board could only be created with the unique ID of the user's game-capsule. This rule was implemented as a measure against trolls.

"Well, I can't create a forum account, but at least I can access the forum for reading!"

There were a million questions on Lexus' mind regarding the state of his existence.

"Interacting with the players will be a good start."

Lexus thought as he opened the game's forum. As expected, the forum was exploding due to the billions of players that is playing Satisfy.

In only an hour, more than a hundred thousand new topics had been added, and the number was still growing. Lexus read some of the topics.

A female player by the name of Cute Little created a post with a screenshot. She said, "I'm so afraid. Those NPCs were staring at my chests. Especially those nobles who were very well dressed. Their expressions were extremely lascivious. Fortunately, my clothes can't be taken off by external forces. Otherwise, I'll feel so cold…"

"Impossible, I speculate that it will be even hotter…"

"Little sister, where are you? Let big brother protect you. Let's play the game together. I'll bring you to…(A lolicon!!!)"

"Without explicit approval, if a male player touches a female player's chest, it will be like touching a cactus. There will be loss of health points."

"I can attest to that. When I secretly touched them 100 times, my health points were penalized. Even my attributes had become 1…"

Some were posting about their progresses, their high level quests that they triggered, rare items they had acquired while many people were praising the game for a lot of aspects. Some believed that the NPCs were vivid, some complimented the beautiful environment, and some thought highly of the setting.

He also saw a post that a player hit on several young NPC women when he joined the game. Then, he discovered, to his surprise, that he could have sex with the female NPCs in the game, which was certainly real and exhilarating.

What happened next made Lexus laugh. Before he could have a sex, the two of them were caught by the woman's husband, and the husband surrounded the player with a dozen helpers.

While the player has a complex class with high combat abilities, he was now naked, unarmed, and his level was lower than NPCs. He was no match for the dozen brawny men. After he was defeated, he was pressed to the ground and was something like circumcised by the husband with a knife.

"The blood was all over the ground! It was not very painful, but can you imagine the mental trauma when someone cuts your penis bit by bit with a sharp blade? I think I've been traumatized."

All the replies in the thread were emojis of laughter.

There are truly all kinds of players… Lexus held his belly and laughed hard. Finally, he closed the thread and thought in his mind.

'Then instead of hunting them one by one, can I just give the players a quest to come to me themselves?'

As soon as it entered Lexus' mind, a window appeared, along with some messages.

[Please set the requirements and rewards for the mission. The amount of experience that you can hand out is limited based on your level, reputation, and status.
