Chapter 2:
Armed Nation of Dwargon – [Blacksmith shop of August's twins]
It had been a month since I arrived in the city. In that time, I had found work as a blacksmith apprentice. On a sunny afternoon, I was pumping a billow of the furnace causing my noticeably ripped body to flex. My frame no longer looked meek and my once white skin was covered in soot. I pump the billow a few more times causing the furnace to roar, after a few moments I retrieved the bar. The tip was glowing a satisfying shade of red. I slammed it on my anvil that the brother had provided me and then went to grab my hammer.
As I brought the massive tool down on my work, I used the arcane spell 'Herculean strength.' I managed to do so, without speaking the actual words since I was controlling my breathing and the sound of my hammering echoed throughout the shop.
This was repeated for a few hours. By the time I was done there was a glowing silver short sword and the clothing I been wearing was soaked with sweat. As I let out a breath, a stream of blackness was expelled, and my eyes seem to gleam. I turned as I heard a clicking noise of someone's tongue popping off the roof of their mouth.
Looking around, I saw my teacher an old looking Dwarf about four feet tall with only had a single streak of crimson red hair in his beard. His emerald green eagle eyes stared at the sword. After a moment he nodded in approval. "Good, good." His eyes then went back to me. "Well by the looks of it you pass but let me see it a bit closer." I quickly did as the old dwarf asked and passed over the short sword.
I watched as the dwarf handled the blade testing a few things like the balance and the resistance. The sword passed the test, and I found myself smiling more.
Especially as I heard the old dwarf praise it when it passed. "You Pass. Congratulations, you're one more step closer to becoming a beginner smith. Now go to the mines and earn your living."
I found myself bowing but this irritated the old dwarf as he started fling tools at me. I ran out of the shop as I manage to duck a heavy smithing hammer. "Stop acting so damn polite you wet behind the ear pup…and maybe I get lucky and an Armorsaurus will show up and eat you and I won't have to teach you anymo…"
I had to laugh as this was not a new thing, of course. The first several times I ended up with a busted skull, but I knew the old bastard cared.
I found my way to the entrance of the mining area that my teacher had been assigned. The joke about the monster was half true as this was an area where monsters frequently appeared. Much to my sarcastic delight, I was ordered by my master (as part of my blacksmith training) to battle them.
It was a pain, but I complied. After all, I did find benefit to each encounter and always tossed the monster corpses into my item box. (Knowing I could break them down later, on my off time, as I had to mine for more ore.) I descended into the gaping maw leading into the earth to start another day of hunting for resources
.Avalon Bath House
After spending the entire remaining day inside of mine I found my muscle were so tired. In a moment of twisted fate (as if the old bastard was cursing me) I ran into an armorsaurus. I was in the midst of pulling out a hunk of ore when it made a move on me. A prolonged battle and a few broken bones. I had fixed the injuries with potions. After I dropped off the ore at the shop, I could see the shock on the old man's face.
"Sorry, Master. Looks like you still have this little apprentice to continue to teach." I could see the old dwarf go flush so I ran off to the bathhouse. When I arrived in the bathhouse, I paid the receptionist and then entered as I did a young-looking elf girl approach and lead me to a private bath, once there she helped me get undress and handed me a towel.
I then walked over to a stool and took a seat; I let the girl start to soap me down and then poured warm water over me and repeated the process. Once she was done, I could climb into the porcelain-like tub and closed my eyes for a long, relaxing, soak. I could feel the small elf woman's hand rubbing my shoulders with a washcloth after she returned from dropping my clothing to be washed. This allowed me time to rest and soak away the fatigue and soreness; it also allowed me the time to look at my status.

After I saw this progression, I was happy so I relaxed even more; I could feel my muscles loosen as I leaned my head against the tub, allowing the elf girl to continue her massage. With the mixture of the massage, warm water, and the essences in the air I soon found myself drowsing off.
After a few hours, I felt myself being shaken awake. As my eyes opened, I saw the elf girl smile. "Nice sleep sir. Unfortunately, time is up."
I nodded and let out a yawn. "Thank you." I was still drowsy as I got up, so I hadn't noticed my towel had become loose during the soak. As I was standing up straight the towel fell completely, and I heard a shriek and I found myself dropping back in the tub. "SORRY!"
I looked towards the elf girl her face was beet red and I could feel my otaku heart was racing with fear. I then heard the woman say after we both settled down," Sir, it's okay, it was just surprising."
I nodded repeatedly as I continue to try to retie my towel around my waist. Once I had managed this I stood back up. I gave her a sheepish look before saying, "I'm sorry miss." I then felt my heartbeat faster again as I heard her giggle.
"It's fine."
I knew I had nothing to be ashamed especially now with this body compare to the one I had in my past life, but this was the first time I heard a girl give me this type of giggle and if I wasn't careful, I'd end up having a nose bleed.
I got out of the tub and went to find my clothing so I could get dressed. I disappeared into the dressing room and I had no idea the elf girl was looking at me like a predator stalking her prey. From out of the corner of my eye, I spotted her as she licked her light pink lips.
