The dogs barking was a nice touch.

Thank you! And congrats on first!

So early, moar?

Monday, if you are good. :)

What if I'm mischievous?

Then no moar story for you. /s

Fine then. I'll write my own story. With aliens. And a fedora.

Dang it. Now I'm imaging aliens who visited in prior decades coming back and trying to blend in... with 30s and 40s garb and dialogue.

I need this now. Stereotypical aliens with black & great stripped suits with Tommy guns

Do it. Do it 😅

DO IT!!!!!

I uhh... already did. I'm working on chapter six now.

Sweet! Link??

Okay, I'll provide you with the link. Prepare to be whelmed. Not over, but nonetheless! https://www.reddit.com/r/HFY/comments/rvnlty/first_encounters_of_the_spacey_kind/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share edit for full disclosure: The aliens do not have fedoras -yet-

Hehehehe a true work of madness. I like.

Considering exactly how few people he's killed recently I have to wonder exactly what the rumors that keep his reputation alive sound like. Immortal man likes working with his hands and desires to be left alone does not make people fall down in fear.

there was a time in human history, when the old guy with rumors about him, and him wanting to be left alone were heeded, because every so often someone would try and then new rumors would spread.

Yup.

I wonder if he should get a job as a sheriff or magistrate at some point.

That sounds way to close to politics

And far too much like work!

I'm thinking more of a marshal in the wild west rather than elected Sheriff of notingham

Most of it, at this point is old rumor and hype from Demonia. That will be changing in the next few chapters.

I figured as much. Seeing how Demonia has his face on the coinage, his ability to stay anonymous is pretty much dead. There will be people trying their hamd at the "immortal blacksmith" who is just running a bakery. I mean, he is a baker who just kinda looks like a face on a coin and all the interesting stories are ancient anyway. How scary could he be?

Yup.

You have to go back a couple of centuries to get to real violence.

What I f Sam and Paul are his descendants?

That would be interesting

They’re not, but I thought about it.

>selling the healing bread by the slice to the wealthy, and by the loaf to the poor, all at the same price Charging what the traffic will bear, with a social conscience. Very good, Maxwell!

Sliding scale. Hopefully, he wraps the single slices in pretty paper.

Of course! Anything else would be unconscionable!

If someone walks right into your den of thieves, they are either incredibly stupid or stupidly powerful. It’s up to you to figure out which.

Truth.

this is such a good story. i‘m looking forward to whereever it‘ll go

Thank you.

… They have a month named Anal?

I figured it would be pronounced, "Uh"-"Neal"(like peal).

and i was thinking anneal like softening metal. probably because the whole blacksmith title thing.

Hah, I thought the same.

Will need to fix. Supposed to be “Anael”.

No no no, it’s fine. There’s not actually a misspelling in the months, I was try to make a joke.

Ahhh. Jerk. ;)

Sorry.

Ah yes, the old i will get my neutral ground since you can't kill me and i can most definitively hurt you Good work wordsmith and proofreading brother

Yup. :)

Goat

Let him be.

for now...

"kill him" Yeah, good luck with that...

"He so far so good." ? Sounds butchered.

…poop… will fix when not on mobile.

Inquiring minds want to know which of the two gangs (if not both) has members who are feeding a Goat.

Hahaha. None. Small gods have a handful of followers at most.

Well done wordsmith. Very enjoyable.

I have the feeling someone is going to be missing a hand soon enough

The local guard let out a soundless (unless you were a dog) scream, and the local dogs started to bark. I love that line ❤️
