Cast Out... Hatred.

These were the emotions imbued into Sin's work. Left out of everything, never given a chance. In his 18 years of life never once was he praised or encouraged, almost as if he never existed in the first place, even to his own family. The only one who even slightly acknowledged his existence was the local blacksmith.

Unfortunately even the blacksmith didn't have faith in Sin, but he still attempted to train him in the art of the forge, but even he eventually gave up and left Sin alone with some materials in his workshop. Sin recalled him sighing as he left and muttering in his gruff voice, "Just do whatever kid"

Sighing while laying down his hammer and wiping the sweat from his brow. Sin pulled up his status screen by tapping his left temple. His current status was:

Unknown (Level Max)

Everytime Sin saw his status he almost teared up. 18 years on this world and nothing to show for it. The only thing he had was the Max Level Unknown skill but even an unknown skill wasn't uncommon as most birth skills start off as unknown until they are appraised by a skill appraiser. However, skill appraisers cost money and money was one of the many things that Sin did not have. Besides, knowing his luck, the skill would most likely be something useless like dishwashing.

After checking his status and feeling sorry for himself, Sin picked up his borrowed hammer again. He was attempting to make a magic accessory in the form of a ring, but as it was his first time actually attempting to make something it would most likely and in failure or perhaps it will even be detrimental to the user!. Defeated and without hope Sin pulled back his hammer and began to hammer the disfigured chunk of metal with a hole in the middle into a shape that even slightly resembled a ring.

However, he was blown backwards by a powerful wave of mana after striking down with his hammer. The ring began to levitate and glow with a blinding light. After a few seconds the light abruptly disappeared and the ring dropped and clattered onto the floor. The sound it was was reminiscent of the sound of dropping a coin. He had been blown back into a rack of secondhand armour and had to retrieve himself from the various helmets and chest plates that were covering his body.

After standing back up and dusting himself off, Sin began to slowly approach the ring which he believed was the source of the mana wave that had blown himself backwards.

After a few steps he froze in place, the item lying on the floor was no longer the disfigured lump of metal that he was haphazardly beating into shape, but a beautiful platinum band inlaid with a strange glowing blue hexagonal pattern that continued all around the ring. Sin was frozen in place staring at the beautiful ring. Although he was in awe of its beauty he still was wondering what this strange ring was, at least he was until a piece of text appeared on his retina and an emotionless voice sounded out in his mind.
