Waltboughst

Wait a second! Right now, you're carrying too many items with you. Please come back after putting some of your things into Kafra Storage.

[Waltboughst]

Hah...!

A living person!

But not for long!

I hope you came here with some strong allies. Judging from your strength, there's no way you'll survive in this kind of place on

your own, you know.

It's so frustrating being dead.

I can't do anything without a body, no matter how hard I try.

It's funny, you know. My father always used to say, 'Trying your best won't always result in success...' Um, that's ... Huh? There was more, I think.

Let me try it again.

'Trying your best won't

always result in success...'

I'm sure that's not all of it...

I...

I can't think!

What was supposed

to come after that part?

It doesn't look like you're just wandering around. You're here for something specific, aren't you? But what does the realm of the dead have to offer the living?

Take a look at this!

In just a short time, I made something with the materials you've given me. You're curious what the result is, aren't you?

Waltboughst never fails!

With my skill and your luck, there was zero probability for failure. Behold... Byeollungum!

With my skill and your luck, there was zero probability for failure. Behold... Exorcise!

I'm a genius!

Hahahahahahahaha!

I succeeded where my brothers

could not! Mwahahahaha ha ha ...ha?

Damn, I can feel that fuzziness in my head again. This can't be good. But still, I was able to prove my genius even after I died.

I'm sure that if you come back and help me retrieve my memories, I can be of service to you again. But for now, I must thank you, even if I do end up forgetting everything...

Yes...

It will be your job to remember the accomplishments of Waltboughst, and that he was a weaponsmith ahead of his time. Good bye for now, adventurer...

With my skill and your luck, there was zero probability for failure. Behold... Combat Knife!

With my skill and your luck, there was zero probability for failure. Behold...Grand Cross!!

Wait, what's that you're holding?

I think those are the exact things we need for me to make you a weapon...

Yes...!

This is perfect.

It looks like I'll

be able to start work

on this really soon.

Now we need to test your luck. And to do that, we need to play 'Rock, Paper, Scissors.' I'm serious about this...

If your luck is strong today, there'll be less risk of failing the weapon creation process. You need to win 2 out of 3 times for us to begin.

But if you lose...

We'll need to expel your bad luck by getting rid of a good amount of one of the ores you brought.

Take this piece of paper.

Now, when I tell you to, write down 'Rock,' 'Paper' or 'Scissors.' Let's begin...!

Alright...

Now, let's play

a second time.

One last time.

After this, we

compare results

and check your luck.

Okay...

I wrote down...

Scissors

Rock

Paper

Now, you wrote...

Excellent. You won

so your luck must be really high.

That means we can begin~!

Leave the ores here and give

me some time to complete my preparations. Come back later, and I should be finished.

You lost...

I'm sorry, but we

need to repel the bad

luck by throwing away

some of your ores...

Gather the required ores again,

and come back to me so we can test your luck. I'll be waiting right here.

Why can't I remember...?!

A good weaponsmith is supposed

to know these things by heart!

When I was alive, I had no such recall problems...

If Father were

to see me now, I'm

sure he'd be ashamed...

You brought everything I needed already? That's great, but somehow, I can't still remember the other materials I need...

Tell you what. Let me hold on to these things, and I promise you that I'll use them to create a weapon for you. In the meantime, we need to figure out the rest of the necessary materials...

For now, bring

the basic things...

1 Emperium Anvil,

2 Hammer of Blacksmith,

1 Illusion Flower and

20 Gold...

I just remembered some of the most basic materials we need for me to make a weapon for you.

There were a few other necessary materials, but I need some time to focus and remember what they were.

Yes! That was it!

But that's no excuse!

Every successful man in

history has tried his best!

I remember now...

I got myself killed trying to make some kind of special weapon.

Heh heh, but not this time!

We must have been fated to meet. Yes, adventurers of great strength and men of genius naturally attract each other.

Lend me your power.

Help me complete the experiment

I left unfinished in life, and I will let you keep the finished product. All I wish to do is complete my life's work.

It seems that being deceased has impaired my rententive faculties. Give me some time to remember the things I'll need to conduct my experiment. We shall talk later.

What...?

No, no. That

wasn't it at all...

Hmmm.
