Spending My Retirement In A Game Chapter 200 Spinning Top

After Samuel sent four of the originals off back to their in-game positions, Eisen made his way back toward the Dragon God Trygan, just so that he could talk to him for a bit. "Say, could you tell me exactly what our relationship is? Did I really take care of the egg you hatched out of?" The old man inquired, and Trygan swiftly nodded his head.
"Yes, you did. You told me that you found me in a cave, although I never knew why you went there. Or rather, I guess you didn't actually tell me that, huh? Excuse me, and it is quite a hard concept to wrap my head around the whole 'Game' concept that the Administrator had told us about, but it is indisputable that even the Great Goddess respects his power, so we had little choice but to accept it." Trygan explained to Eisen, before scratching his chin with a light smile.
"That's fine. But don't worry, I don't have any plans of treating you like you're not real. Anyway, that's not what I wanted to talk about just now. I have recently met a Half-Dragon with crystal scales called Kiron. He is your son, right?" Eisen asked the god in front of him, who swiftly nodded. "Ah yes, Kiron! Quite an incredible boy, isn't he? Sadly he is suffering from a curse that strongly weakened his body and soul that cannot be removed by anything other than time. I hope that you will treat him kindly, fath-..., sorry, Eisen." Trygan said, stumbling at the last few words, unsure if he should really call Eisen a father before the old man swiftly shook his head. "Don't worry, and you can call me father if you want. But yes, Kiron is quite well mannered, and just overall a great help. He is currently accompanying me as my Knight, although that feels rather weird now that I know what his and my relationship really is."
With a relieved smile, Trygan slowly nodded his head. "Thank you then, father. And thank you for taking care of my dear child." The Dragon responded before Eisen felt a tap on his back and turned around in surprise, seeing several people standing there with excited, but nervous, smiles.
"Yes, can I help you?" The old man asked, confused, taking note of different sigils on their clothes that seemed to all be related to crafts in some sort.
Excitedly, a woman stepped forward and smiled at Eisen. "H-Hello Sir Eisen… Erm, we're Minor Gods that work under the God of Crafts, and… and…" She stuttered out before holding a thin crystal board in front of her in Eisen's direction, while Eisen himself was already guessing where this was going. "…we're huge fans! Could you give us your Craftsman's Signature?"
"Huh? Really?" Eisen asked them with a frown before they all swiftly nodded. "Yes, please! Our God has told us that even he admires your ability!" The Goddess explained before Eisen chuckled.
"I see, well, sure. I'd be honored to, then." Eisen replied with a light smile and grabbed one of the small Mythril needles from his chest-pocket on his leather apron, poured his mana into it, and then swiftly carved his current Craftsman's Signature into each crystal tablet that was held up to him.
With gleeful grins, the minor gods thanked Eisen before turning around and running away, leaving the old man and the Dragon God alone again. "There's a lot of gods, huh? Do they have islands as well?" Eisen asked, but Trygan shook his head immediately.
"No, they do not. Only Great Gods do. Minor gods are more like servants, assistants, or disciples to Great Gods. I do have a few Minor Draconic Gods underneath me as well. Although, since I am younger than many of these other gods here, I only have three. One is assisting with the governance of Metallic Dragons, one assisting with the governance of Chromatic Dragons, and one assist with the governance of all Minor Dragonkin." Trygan explained to his 'father' in front of him, who listened curiously.
"I see, that's quite useful to know then, thanks. Anyway, I think I should get going now. It was really great to talk to you." Eisen responded with a smile before he turned around toward Samuel before he remembered something. Since he obviously couldn't ask Samuel about it, because he said he wasn't able to disclose such specific information sometime before, Eisen quickly summoned the small ornamental box from his soul storage and showed it to Trygan.
"I nearly forgot, but do you know anything about this?" Eisen curiously asked before Trygan grabbed the box from his hands quite slowly and nodded his head. "Yes, you used to make these boxes in the past. They are simple puzzle boxes, something like Quests in physical forms. Each time you unlock one layer, the form will change, and there will be a new task inscribed on the outside. But I do not remember anything about this particular one." Trygan explained and handed the box back to Eisen with an apologetic expression before the old man smiled again. "Don't worry, that's fine. It's more than I knew before. Thanks." Eisen responded before making his way back to Samuel for good this time before the 'Administrator' asked him what he just showed to Trygan. With a smile, Eisen summoned the box again and handed it over to Samuel.
"Just the box that you guys put into my Soul Storage. We're trying to figure out how to unlock it right now, and I wanted to ask if Trygan knew anything." Eisen explained before Samuel looked at him with a surprised expression, staring at the box in his hands for a little while. Confused, Eisen looked at him with a frown. "Something wrong?"
Swiftly, Samuel shook his head as he handed the box back to Eisen. "Nope, nothing wrong. Just surprised that you already have Soul Storage. Anyway, come on, I'm sure you want to see what your kids and grandkids are doing right now." He said with a smile before the gate that Eisen entered through before opened up again, and the two men swiftly stepped through into the white space.
There, Eisen could see a few more things than he could before. Not only were there small, humanoid gray figures that Benji, Sophia, and Kyle were fighting against to test out different weapons, but there were also numerous worktables with miscellaneous materials on them, where Tony, Natsuo, Lola, and Lyla were playing around with some enchanting and alchemy. In the meantime, Katy was playing around with a few animals, Sean was conjuring skeletons, and Melody and Christie were keeping an eye on these two kids.
Ari was standing at the sidelines, seemingly controlling everything that was currently going on there. With a smile, Eisen made his way over to his two sons and twin granddaughters with a smile first, since they were the closest to him. "So, what are you four doing?" He asked them before Natsuo excitedly looked up.
"We're playing around with these things! That Woman gave us a few temporary abilities to use, and any material we want. It's really, really awkward to use at first, but we managed to make a small spinning top. Tony already knew about how enchantments worked from you, so he took care of the logistics." Natsuo told him before Eisen looked at the little Beyblade-esque spinning top that was rotating on its own on top of the table.
"Hmm, I see. Interesting, just a small toy then?" He asked as he looked at the simple pyramid-shaped item with nothing but an enchantment circle on top.
"Yeah, nothing too complicated. We only managed to make something like this with transmutation, though." Tony added before Eisen grinned lightly and looked at the item once more, before stepping to an open space in front of him, looking over at the goddess looking at them curiously. "Ari, could you give me some steel, mana crystals, fire and wind gems, and some of my Flame-of-the-Earth Mythril?" Eisen asked her before the goddess nodded her head immediately and summoned a table with all of those materials on it.
"Do you need a forge as well?" She then asked, before Eisen shook his head and summoned his Staff, creating his magic forge, luckily without expending any mana in this place. And after grabbing his hammer and the Mythril, Eisen also activated his Demonic Transformation, since he would be gaining some bonuses to his crafts with it.
At least that's what the case would usually be, but in actuality, he just wanted to show off a bit. And then, Eisen got an idea. He increased his size with the new Giant ability he gained in the game, but since the Hammer stayed in its regular size, Eisen asked Ari to increase the size of his tools for a little while as well, which she gladly did. Eisen would need to make some new tools for his giant form later, which was good to know.
Either way, Eisen now began to work after he also increased the size of his Flame-of-the-Earth forge, again, to show off. And now, Eisen did the showiest thing he could. He began to craft.
With each swing of his hammer, he began to form the steel into a solid core piece for the huge spinning top he would create, with that core piece in itself already larger than his current head.
After creating that core, Eisen started working on the Mythril casing, that would bring the spinning top into its actual shape. And on top of that, Eisen also created thin Mythril blades which he would add on the outside.
And then, Eisen unsummoned the Magic Forge and instead created a table to work at with his increased size. Carefully, the giant demon craftsman now began to carve enchantments into the steel core first, which would work on actually actively causing it to spin as fast as possible with simple conceptual enchantments similar to force enchantments that would cause it to spin.
After that, Eisen also enchanted the Mythril platings with parts useful for defense, while adding offensive enchantments onto the blades which were supported by adding either the fire or wind gems into the carvings.
And next, Eisen worked on another thing while asking Ari for new materials, which she chose to give him for this demonstration immediately. And after merging three different crystals to create a Golem Core.
And now, it came to the assembly. Eisen placed the Golem Core into the center of the Steel Core by making way with transmutation, and then put the Mythril casing on the outside, while also adding the blades into the proper places. And at last, Eisen added a thin mana crystal layer onto the bottom tip of the spinning top so that nothing would scratch up or dent immediately.
At last, the old man was done, placing the truly giant Spinning Top on the ground next to him while deactivating his skills and returning to his natural form. Immediately, everyone that was watching Eisen work, which was quite literally everyone there, rushed up to him.
"Dad, are you alright? Isn't your arm hurting?" Melody immediately asked before Eisen shook his head in response. "Not at all. That's what I was telling you all the time. I can use my body like it's in peak health in this game, that's why I like it so much. Anyway, I wanted to show all of you what could be done here, first off, what happened to me there. I turned into my demonic form that you saw before and increased my size. I can do that because my race is half-giant in the game and because I did some special things to learn that ability. I could make that forge just there with my Magic Element. Took a while until I got it hot enough to use, though. And besides that, I made the metal top normally, carved some enchantments into everything, and put a golem core in the center, so that it could do this."
After Eisen said this, he placed his palm on the top of the Beyblade-like spinning top with blades at the side and poured his mana into the golem core in the center of it. Immediately it began spinning on its tip and created a small tornado of flames and blades of wind as it did.
"Ari, if you may place some monsters over there, that would be quite nice of you." The old man asked before Ari nodded and waved her hand, immediately causing a horde of Goblins to appear near them. And so, Eisen mentally commanded the spinning top to rush toward the crowd of monsters, cutting them down immediately.
As Eisen looked over towards Natsuo and Tony who were watching excitedly, the old man simply laughed. "That's how you make a spinning top."
