Systemless in a Parallel World

The sound-canceling and soul particle vortex rune were quite helpful.

Zayn could summon all his Spirits inside the Adventurer Suite and they all could absorb soul particles comfortably without feeling cramped up.

He didn't have to worry that someone would find the Spirits in his Suite. After all, nobody would enter as long as they didn't hear weird sounds from the inside.

​ "Continue absorbing soul particles for the following week," Zayn ordered his Spirits who followed his commands without further ado.

'I need you guys to be as strong as possible.' He thought while leaving the Adventurer Suite just a moment later.

Zayn stepped outside the Adventurer Hall, ignoring the sideways glances, and made his way to a familiar Weaponshop.

Blacksmith Titan was working tirelessly, like usual. The Dwarven-like human was forging the head of a large battle-axe right now, and it looked like he would need some time to finish up.

Zayn was fine with waiting. He made his way through the Weaponsmith's Shop and looked at a bunch of things.

After an hour or two, he found himself seated on a chair, looking through the pages of a catalog where a bunch of weapons, types of armor, and several more armaments were described and illustrated. There were even explanations for the specific traits of the used materials.

It was quite interesting even for someone who had close to no idea about forging. He just knew that learning how to forge was a very time-consuming thing and that one should never start learning how to forge without the necessary passion. Otherwise, it would be a waste of time.

"That could be quite helpful for Herculean," Zayn mumbled as he looked at a page with a special armor that had been created out of a particular metal that shrunk or increased in size to fit the wearer perfectly.

"Agile could use some poisonous dagger and Mocalw should be given a helmet that fits on its antlers…Glutton should be able to create blasts of energy by compressing its soul particles. There should be some accessories that can help achieve this, or not?"

Zayn came across too many things that attracted his interest. His knowledge of Artifacts was almost non-existent but he knew that it was not impossible to create everything he had in mind. The big question was just how difficult it would be to create the things he had in mind, and how expensive it would be.

Right now, he had a total of eight Spirits, two Human Spirits, two Sparrow Spirits that were about to reach their limit, one non-combat Spirit, Tank and Mocalw with their great defenses and the power to charge through their opponents, and Saber, the apex predator, in his team.

The Sparrow Spirits didn't need any equipment but if he could empower the two Human Spirits, Tank, Mocalw, and Glutton just a bit, the overall combat power of his small Spirit Army would increase exponentially.

Saber could also be given something but Zayn was not yet sure what.

The most important task was to increase the power of his Human Spirits because their strength relied a lot on the weapons they wielded. It was possible to fight without weapons, or with weak weapons, but if the weapons were not strong enough to injure their opponents, things would get a little complicated.

Zayn was fine spending most of his fortune on his Spirits. He didn't need any resources to absorb soul particles faster as long as he could go out and hunt. The stronger his Spirits, the faster his rate of getting stronger would be. That was the inevitable truth for Zayn.

"The rude brat has returned," A familiar voice echoed out from behind Zayn. He turned around and looked at the unkempt appearance of Tilan, who returned a weak smile at the sight of Zayn's demeanor, and the presence that shrouded him tightly.

Compared to the last time they met, Zayn had changed tremendously. That was something Titan noticed almost immediately.

He clearly recalled the young Normie who had replaced Lara for Merlin's Mission, and that he hadn't expected much from Zayn. However, that had been a great mistake, which Titan acknowledged now.

"I heard that you killed the Blazing Sabertooth Tiger and the Heavy Armored Bull. Not bad, kiddo!" Titan said, not hiding that he continued to observe and study the young Normie.

"But I don't think that you came here to brag about that. What can I do for you? Do you need metal-coated leather armor to better protect yourself?"

Titan's attitude was a lot different compared to their first meeting as well. Zayn liked this Titan much better. It was easier to speak to him.

"Most of your Artifacts can be used with one and two Soulrings, right?" Zayn asked in return. He didn't immediately put in a commission request but tried to ensure that it was possible, in the first place.

"That's right. Most Artifacts, I've created are for Soul Squires and Soul Knights. However, as long as the quality of the materials is good enough, I can also create weapons that can cut through the hide of monsters with three Soulrings, and armor that would withstand the attacks of monsters with three Soulrings.

Just tell me what you're looking for, and I will see what I can do!" Titan said with unwavering confidence and pride resonating in his voice.

He was a man who was proud of his achievements and work. That was good.

Zayn thought about it for a moment and he nodded his head.

"I need one metal-coated leather armor for myself. It should be comfortable enough to be worn all day without a problem. If possible, I don't want to replace the leather armor until I'm a Soul Lord. That being said…it should look good as well," Zayn said. He took a pause to take a breath before he continued.

This was a little unexpected for the Blacksmith, who had been of the belief that Zayn would only order one thing. His goods, especially his Artifacts, were extremely expensive, after all!

"Other than that, I need a full-scale metal armoire made out of Shrilariat Alloy. It should be 2.5 meters huge but adjustable to the wearer's size. Another thing I need is the best Aspis Shield you can create. If possible, the Aspis Shield should be an Artifact with a soul particle storage and a special rune that increases its defense or something like shock absorption.

There are a few more things I would like to order but I'm not sure if you can make them. One of them is a large ring…" Zayn continued for close to five minutes, telling Titan in detail what he wanted.

Once he was done sharing what he wanted to order, Titan stared blankly at Zayn.

"Be honest to me, kiddo. Did you rob the Colosseum after they hit you on the head?"
