Transmigrated as a Ghost

'Blitz come over to me.'

Sending a telepathic message to Blitz, Marcus waited for only a couple of seconds before the intelligent lightning stag rushed over to him.

Kneeling down Blitz allowed Marcus to hop onto his back and asked, 'Where to my liege.'

"To the Blazegram forge. I want to talk to my master about the armor and weapon I just made."

Following Marcus' direction, Blitz bounded out of the estate and onto the streets of the city, moving incredibly fast towards the Blazegram forge.

"Wait here this should not take long." Marcus said as he tied Blitz up outside the forge.

After that he entered the forge and gave a customary greeting to everyone that was working before going back to Thabon's room and knocking on his door.

"Come on in, I am almost finished."

Opening the door, Marcus immediately felt the heat that was still lingering in the room, and he saw that Thabon was finishing up applying the enchantments on a suit of crimson ore armor.

"There we go, all done." Thabon said as he wiped the sweat off his forehead.

He then pulled up a couple of chairs, sat down, and beckoned Marcus to come sit next to him.

"It is impressive work." Marcus said as he looked at the suit of armor Thabon had just finished.

"Yeah, it is not bad. I could do better, but I would have needed exceedingly rare materials. Still, it should get the job done." Thabon said while stretching his arms out.

"So how did the auction go, I heard from Conall that the competition for the adamantine was really fierce this time. He said he had to pay forty thousand gold coins just to get one set. So, were you able to get any?"

Putting on a big smile, Marcus held up a victory pose and said, "I actually managed to get three of the five sets, and it actually was partially my fault that Conall had to spend do much."

Looking a bit confused, from what Conall had told him, of the five sets only two had gone to the same bidder.

And seeing the perplexed look on Thabon's face, Marcus remembered that he and Mrazivý had been bidding separately and told Thabon that a friend had bought him two sets to repay him.

"You must have really helped this friend out for them to feel enough gratitude to purchase so much adamantine. Good on you." Thabon said clapping Marcus on the back.

"So did you come to me today for some advice or guidance. I know I have already taught you what to do, but working with adamantine for the first time is not easy. So, if you want me to watch over you while you do it, I would not mind helping you."

However, Marcus could only shake his head and refuse his master's help, since he had already forged his adamantine equipment.

Of course, Thabon's misunderstanding was logical, as how could he believe that Marcus could have already forged a set of armor and a weapon in under a day.

Naturally this would not be possible for most people, but with Marcus' near endless stamina and regeneration skills, he was able to complete the work that would take most at his level a few days to finish, in just over twenty hours.

Telling Thabon this, he first had a skeptical look on his face, but when Marcus pulled out the pendant around his neck and activated it, he was shocked to see the set of scale mail armor.

"Impressive, you actually made this in such a short amount of time."

Taking the armor from Marcus, Thabon inspected every detail of it, and every now and then mumbled something to himself.

"I can truly see that you took my teachings to heart. This is an excellent set of armor, and it speaks to your hard work and talent that it turned out this well on your first try." Thabon said, genuinely impressed that Marcus had made such a good set of armor without any mistakes.

Of course, in terms of what he could make himself it was only on the lower end, but this had more to do with the subsidiary supplies Marcus had used, which were not as powerful as what Thabon could get ahold of.

"Now, you said you also made a scythe. Would you mind showing me that as well."

With a massive smile, Marcus had his scythe appear in his hand, and looked at Thabon's face anticipating his shocked reaction.

And when Thabon saw Marcus' scythe, he certainly was astonished to see that it had been recognized by the system.

Seeing this Thabon, blinked a couple of times, wondering if his eyes were playing tricks on him.

Never in his wildest dreams did he think that Marcus would be able to make a system recognized weapon out of adamantine so soon.

Even he only had around two dozen adamantine masterpieces recognized by the system under his belt, and they were all some of his finest work.

However, his surprised expression soon turned grave as he looked more intently at Marcus' scythe.

"Irene, hand that over to me now!" Thabon said with anger in voice.

Hearing this Marcus was now the one to be surprised since he had never heard his master become angry.

He was often stern and certainly could get a bit harsh when Marcus made a mistake, but he had not once expressed any anger.

Doing as Thabon told him, Marcus handed over his new scythe and Thabon practically ripped it out of his hands and began looking at it in great detail.

As he did his expression turned darker and darker, until after five minutes he set the scythe down, and looked almost hatefully at Marcus.

"Who taught you how to do this? I certainly never once even mentioned something like this to you. So, who did it? Tell me which bastard told you to bind your soul to a weapon!" Thabon said as he stood up and practically yelling at Marcus.

Seeing this Marcus was momentarily stunned by how absolutely furious Thabon was.

This was just beyond being a bit displeased, this was fully on loathing, and Marcus did not understand why what he had done was so bad.

"Master no one taught me how to bind a soul to a weapon, or even told me about it. It actually occurred by accident; I never intend it to happen." Marcus said, answering truthfully.

He then told Thabon about the process he took to make the scythe, though leaving out certain details that would reveal him to be a spirit.

And when he told Thabon he had cut off his own arm not once but twice, he gave Marcus a look saying, "how stupid can you be."

After Marcus finished explaining what happened, Thabon who could tell that Marcus had been telling the truth for the most part, sat down and calmed down a bit.

"So, you never intended to make a soul bound weapon, and this all happened by accident." Thabon said with a serious look in his eyes.

Nodding his head Marcus gave one last conformation to Thabon that he never planed for this outcome, and his master's hardened expression softened up a bit.

"I do not know what possessed you to think that adding a part of yourself would stabilize your weapon, but you are very lucky that you did not end up dead, or worse."
