The roof of the house was ready and the flames from the campfire made dancing and leaping shadows inside the hearth since I hadn't designed the windows and door yet. From the best of my knowledge, sand would be the base ingredient for glass and I would really love to have glass door and windows instead. But the sand would only be available from locations near the beach.
Matilda and Jean Lethal had fallen in deep slumber as they had spent their Essense by learning all the Tomes without realising that every 15 seconds would use up 2 of their Essense points. Maybe they should read the fine prints before they embark in rushing to learn everything at one shot. Hahahahaha...
If I had a camera now I could capture at how both of them were sprawled on the floor of the hearth as if they both were engaged in combat with one another and both had been knocked out by their last blows. Hahahahaha. One was spreadeagled while the other was lying face down and both were holding on to their weapons and were even snoring gently. Hahahahaha.
I had finally completed learning and reading all my Tomes for all required skills and I felt more confident in making the gems or crafting better weapons and Armor or tools with the right ingredients.
I remembered when I went to the Realm of Mind with the 5 of us back in Japan and I visualised things that I had learnt or knew of its existence. Would I be able to forge some kind of modern Armor based on the current Armor that we had purchased?
This is the normal Armor in its light class and Studded Leather armour was the top tier for light armour. And since its Studded as well as being made from tough leather, it should be able to withstand blunt trauma of a knife or dagger, but I'm not too sure about spearheads and broadhead arrowheads.
I think I'd enter the Realm of Mind to find out there. I soon brought all the leather armour with me and entered the Realm of Mind after I meditated and I made a new scene and called it Ballistic Testing Room. I went back to the Fusion Room and pondered what I would do next as I looked at the 15 pieces of Refined Steel plate that I had set aside.
"Steel... What's the best way to make it flexible and also being embedded inside these armours instead of being like kevlar inserts... Hmm..... A Medium armour would be the chain mail and plated armour but its too heavy and cumbersome."
"I won't want the guys to fall and cannot stand up again due to its added weight of 25kg. Heavy armour would weigh at least 35kg and above."
"Let me visualise the type of steel that could be flexible and yet tough enough to withstand my ballistic test soon."
Very soon, all type of steel materials visualised from industrial, construction, DIY and kitchen wares. I noticed 3 items that interest me the most. Rolled out iron sheets, chicken wire fences and steel pads. The composition of steel are different from one another but made from the same material.
The sudden thought of the chain mail brought fresh ideas for me... If they could make a chain mail as small as 6mm diameter, I could make mine 0.5 or 1mm diameter and interlaced them either 3, 5 or 7 times to make it withstand penetration at a much higher rate than the present chain mail they've got. Plus it's as light as 250 grams added weight.
Let me visualise these 3 items first as I sat down and meditated, while I focused to create a hardened steel mesh wire with 7 interlaced layers. After a while, the item materialised before me and it looked just like what I wanted it to be.
The problem lies with the fusion. Would it work? If it does, would I still need the fusion chamber or I just visualise it in with my mind? After learning and reading the tome, I discovered that I could conjure up things more efficiently this time.
"Oh boy... What would I do and how shall I do it?" I play by my guts as I placed a Refined Steel plate on a slot, then I visualised a tank top and place in the other slot and closes the door. I then slide the primary to CREATE and secondary to ARMOUR and cranked the lever. After a while, I heard the familiar announcement.
*DING* Creation Success! Mesh Steel Reinforced Tanktop Created!

I slide the door open and only the tank top appeared. I held it in my hand and felt how flexible it is and it seemed heavier. It still felt cotton on both insides and out and the only difference is that the mesh steel is now EMBEDDED within the base material...!
"Yeahoooooo... YABADABADOO...!!! AWWWOOOO....!!! Sweet Jesus and Holy Mother Mary...!!" I brought the Tanktop to the ballistics room where it held a crossbow with a diamond tip, a spear tip and a broadhead tip. And of course a Smith and Wesson .22 revolver.
I placed the Tanktop on a paper target at 50 meters and I stood with the crossbow with a diamond-shaped tip and fired. The arrow failed to penetrate it. Next, I used the spear tip and broadhead tip and both came back with similar results. I pulled the target towards me and saw that it didn't penetrate the paper behind it at all.
I placed it again at 50 meters and I used .22 to shoot once. Then I moved to 30 meters and shot once more and then to 15 meters and shot one more time. I pulled the target towards me and saw that the 3 bullet rounds failed to penetrate it.
I placed it at 5 meters and pulled 3 shots in quick successions and found that the mesh steel stopped the velocity of both the medieval and modern weapons.
I was so happy that I could cry out loud. This technology if properly harnessed would bring a new revolutionary in armoured clothing. Hahahahha... I should call it Under Armour. Hahahaha... Trademark infringement woooiii....alright... Jokes aside now.
I grabbed the Studded Leather vest and placed it inside the fusion chamber and I place a Refined Steel plate inside it, closed the door and yanked the handle.
*DING* Creation Success! Epic Class 3 Sockets Mesh Steel Reinforced Studded Leather Vest Created!
I removed the vest from the chamber and inspected it and find that it had now been properly fused inside the vest. Wait... What did I hear just now? I pressed the R button to rewind what it had said and it repeated once more.
EPIC CLASS 3 SOCKET...!!! From a Common class, it jumped to Rare and settled at Epic instead...!! From class 1 level 4 it had leapt to class 3 level 4 type armour... With 3 Sockets some more... Is this a sweet deal or what...?!?
Very soon, I completed all the 12 pieces of armour and I hugged them and logged off from my meditative state and back to the real world.
"GUYS...!! Wake up... I've got an announcement to make...!! Matilda...!! JL...!! Wake up... Good news...!!"
The two of them got startled and sat straight up and rubbed their eyes and faces... "Here's your armour... Try it on...!"
"Ring leader... Can we wait till tomorrow... You've made me awake just to see me naked or what and wear this armour...? Wait... This armour felt heavier than before..."
"Boss... All these have 3 Sockets each means we can have more damage rating or damage absorption rating or even... Wait a minute... Chotto Matte... These are the armour that you had bought earlier... One way to find out... Wait haaaa... Nah... My storage bag can't use to view this... You try it, Matilda... "
"So what? Wear them... Oh... You mean to put it in my inventory... OK... Hang on... Done. What shall I do next...?"
"See the description, status and attributes and read out loud... Our boss here may have done something to it again...!"
"Epic Class Level 4
3 Sockets Mesh Steel Reinforced Studded Leather Armour
R. T. S"
"What's R. T. S stands for and Epic Class... EPIC...?!! its better than RARE right? Whoooaaaaaaaaa..... Power Rangers lah..."
The moment Jean Lethal heard the word EPIC... His jaw dropped and needs a paramedic to put it back in place with rivets once more...!
"Hahahahaha... I was equally surprised too... Thanks for reading the tome...!! Yes... Epic armour... Muuuaaahahahahahha.....!!"
"What's R. T. S means lah you half dim wit dum dum... You still haven't answered me yet..."
"It means... Ready To Strike. Its the motto from the Guards Batallion where I was from before I joined OCS and then to Sandhurst RMA and then back to station all over the continent for 6 months rotational tour until I retire after serving a total of 12 years... "
"What are you talking la aney... Yo aney... You dreaming or what? What talking you dahh..." Jean Lethal was dumbfounded at what nonsense I was spouting and called me aney in Tamil for Brother.
Both of them took their battle gear and kept it aside while I place mine on my lap. "How about our weapons after the upgrade? Matilda checked mine please..." implored Jean Lethal as he passed Gotham to her and gave the statistics back as Rare Class Level 6. I passed my Heaven and Earth Splitting Divine Blade and it came back as Rare Class Level 4 while Vendetta came back as Rare Class Level 5.
"So, when are you making the Fair and Good gems, Boss?"
"Soon JL... Very very soon... In 2 weeks time at least."
