Chapter 27: Chapter 27: Epic Class: Divine Smith.
Lioro's eyes were blinded by the purple glow.
['Epic' class 'Divine Smith' acquisition failed!]
Epic class.
He didn't remember there being any such class in Yggdrasil.
Every class in the game can be divided into General, Basic, Medium, High, or Special.
So here comes the question.
Just what the fck was an Epic class?
And just why the fck did it have a purple glowing effect around it?
Seeing the panel notification disappear, Lioro's mind moved at a crazy speed.
He quickly remembered the conditions he had just seen.
'...Touch the God of Smithing!...'
He quickly pulled up Hephaestus's pants and hugged her milky white legs.
"W-w-w-w-w-w-w-what are you doing?!"
Hephaestus's face turned red as she said in a stuttering voice.
Hestia shouted with a dumbfounded look on her face.
"Lioro have you lost you're mind? Let go!"
"No!"
['Epic' class 'Divine Smith' acquisition failed!]
It returned! The purple glow was back!
Feeling Lioro's heavy breaths against her ankle, goosebumps appeared all over Hesphestuses's body.
"You....let go!"
"Never! I'll never let go!"
Hesphestuses raised her other leg and pressed down on Lioro to separate him.
Lioro also grabbed her other leg, making her fall on her butt.
Hesphestuses was losing her mind.
Hestia was going crazy.
And the most sane person in the room, Lioro kept focusing on the information given by his panel.
'Epic class should be better than special class since special class requires a high class as a pre-requisite then Epic class should need special class!'
But where will he get those pre-requisite special classes?
Only one answer!
Hephaestus!
Hold her damn leg! never let go! The classes will pop up! just like Nfirea!
[....Triggered special Job acquisition...]
Fck he was right!
In his excitement, Lioro pressed his face against Hephaestuses's leg!
Hephaestus pressed her hands against Lioro's face, trying to push him away.
But Lioro was too strong.
[.....special class 'Master Forger' detected.....]
[.....special class 'Grand Armorer' detected.....]
[.....special class 'Artifact Designer' detected.....]
[..condition...Failed!]
Goddamn three special classes!
Lioro's eyes turned red.
Suddenly Hestia grabbed Lioro's head and pulled him back.
She was stopping his advance to supremacy!
"Goddess let go!"
"No! you let go!"
Hestia gritted her teeth and pulled him with all her might.
Lioro kept hugging Hephaestus's legs, not moving an inch.
Looking at the scene.
Hephaestus was at a lack of words.
Several High classes required for the three special classes popped up on his screen.
Lioro hurriedly accepted all of them.
Until finally.
[Genius profession has taken effect.....]
[Conditons met!]
[Do you want to take the job?]
'Yes! Yes! Yes!'
Lioro shouted crazily in his mind.
A multitude of knowledge rushed through Lioro's brain, turning his brain foggy.
[Class 'Master Forger' acquired!]
[Class 'Grand Armorer' acquired!]
[Class 'Artifact Designer' acquired!]
Lioro didn't lose focus and concentrated on his real goal!
'Come! Purple Epic!'
[Condition satisfied....]
[Combining classes....High classes combined...Special classes...Artifact Designer, Grand Armorer, and Master Forger merging into one....]
['Epic' class 'Divine Smith' acquisition condition satisfied!]
[Do you want to take the job?]
Lioro was so excited that he loosened his grip. Then, the next moment, Hestia pulled him back making them crash into the wall.
Fortunately, at the end moment, Lioro covered for Hestia, absorbing most of the damage.
Hephaestus looked at the scene with dumbfounded eyes.
Remembering that her pants were still up, she hurriedly pushed them down and stared at the two of them.
"Lioro you cheater! Why did you call Hephaestus mommy? What in heavens is wrong with you?!?!"
Hestia kept shouting in a loud voice as she shook the smiling Lioro using his collar.
"You're still smiling? You dare smile Lioro!"
Hephaestus tremblingly stood up from the ground and supported herself using a nearby chair.
Looking at the smiling Lioro, her face instantly turned beat red.
"Goddess, did something happen?"
Hephaestus's familial members quickly arrived at the scene.
But looking at the three of them, they fell in confusion until Hephaestus opened her mouth and quickly gave her order.
----
Lioro and Hestia were thrown out of the shop.
And not just that, they were now officially banned from purchasing any weapon created by the Hephaestus familia.
Tightly holding the 500 million valis bill in her hand, Hestia shouted at Lioro in a sharp voice.
"Are you happy now? Lioro!"
"Indeed I am."
Lioro grinned widely while holding the Hestia sword in his hand, as if completely unaware of the mess he just caused.
"You....."
Hestia was so angry her ponytails started levitating, defying gravity.
"Ok ok calm down."
Lioro happily patted her head then took the 500 million valis bill from her hand.
"We haven't slept for an entire day, so let's go back!"
He quickly picked up the angry Hestia in a princess carry then hurriedly ran back to the abandoned church.
Feeling his arms around her, Hestia's anger subsided a little, but remembering how she was banned by Hephaestus, her anger quickly rose again.
Using her hands she started hitting Lioro's chest to quench her anger.
Lioro didn't mind, it was simply a small sacrifice for a much bigger goal!
After returning back to the abandoned church, Lioro placed Hestia down, the goddess angrily made her way towards the bed before covering herself with a blanket and going to sleep, Not sparing Lioro a single glance during the process, completely ignoring him.
Lioro scratched his chin, then went upstairs, looking at the abandoned street outside, Lioro selected an empty structure and sat down inside it.
Then opening up his panel he accepted the job change.
And almost instantly.
A sudden tremor shook the ground beneath his feet.
Lioro's eyes widened as the temperature around him soared and an invisible heatwave erupted from his body, distorting the air.
A golden fire burst forth from within him, engulfing his entire being.
The old structure around him started melting under the sheer heat.
Then, it happened.
A sound reached his ears.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The defeating sound of a hammer striking the anvil.
An unrecognizable whisper entered his ears.
"Rise, O Smith of the Gods. The forge is yours. The world awaits your creation."

It was so vast, it felt incredible.
Lioro opened his eyes and looked at the melted ground around him.
The building he was in, and the clothes he was wearing, all burned away under the incredible heat.
Taking out a pair of clothes from his inventory, Lioro wore them on and smiled brightly as he looked up at the full moon in the sky.
