Sunny had woven many mories in the past. However, today, he had an entirely new goal —weave sothing entirely new without relying on imitation.
In theory, he was ready for that challenge. His foundation was quite solid — firstly, he had ticulously studied countless weaves, so his ntal library of string patterns was sufficiently vast. Secondly, he had spent nurous hours pouring over these patterns, trying to discern how they worked.
These efforts allowed him enough insight to change and modify the weaves he was familiar with however he saw fit… well, maybe not. Although Sunny could indeed achieve a lot, he was still sowhat limited in the scale and scope of such alterations.
For now.
Lastly, there was his new ability to fuse with the mories in his possession, which allowed him to fathom the connection between the weaves and the enchantnts they produced on a much deeper level.
It was that last gain that was supposed to give him the push he needed to break free from his past limitations.
Sunny looked around the material storage, then walked over to the section containing various leathers — which he had made himself from the hides of Nightmare Creatures over the years.
Choosing a roll that wasn't too valuable, he considered it for a mont. Of course, the low value of this leather was relative — Sunny could afford to disregard it, but it would be a real treasure for most Awakened, and more than a few Masters as well.
Nodding in satisfaction, Sunny picked up the roll of leather, then found a few more materials and left for the workshop. Once there, Sunny unrolled the leather, traced it roughly, and then swiftly cut it. The material was durable enough to resist enchanted weapons, but he effortlessly sliced through it using nothing but his nail.
After that, Sunny got to work.
Sitting down, he manifested four more hands. These shadow hands were responsible for weaving threads of essence, while his original pair was handling the leather.
Funnily enough, Sunny also summoned Weaver's Needle. Today, it had so mundane stitching to do…
Slowly, a leather backpack took shape in his hands. The backpack was on the smaller side, but crafted with utmost care — in fact, it could quite easily compete with the most luxurious leather bags sold by famous fashion designers in the waking world. That was how good his craftsmanship had beco…
After paying a ridiculous amount of credits for what would eventually beco the [Overpriced Saddle], Sunny had given a solemn vow to never be robbed blind like that again and learn how to handle leather himself. The na of that mory was not a joke, but rather an expression of his deep, inconsolable anguish!
He continued to focus on his work. When Sunny needed additional tools, he manifested them from shadows. When he needed thread, he used the diamond thread from the Ebony Tower. Eventually, all that was left was to add the clasps to hold the flap of the backpack tightly closed when moving.
Finishing that, he gave the backpack an appreciative look.
«Damn… it's a sha I can't sell you right now.»
Aiko already had the combat equipnt market
on the Valor side of Godgrave basically cornered, but no one said that they could not expand into fashion… people longed to look good even in the middle of an apocalyptic war, after all. Take Kai, for example, who chose his armor based on how pretty it was.
«That fool…»
Shaking his head regretfully, Sunny walked over to a massive chest and opened its lid, revealing a radiant pile of soul shards. Most of his fortune was safely stored in the Naless Temple, but he had plenty of shards at hand here, as well.
Fishing out a few Ascended shards from the pile, Sunny returned to his workbench. He did not know yet how many anchors his weave would need, so it was better to be safe than sorry.
Then, he summoned the Endless Spring, put it down, and gave it a complicated look.
Sunny had always suspected that the beautiful glass bottle was, at its core, a spatial storage mory akin to the Covetous Coffer. However, after exploring it recently, he realized that he could not have been further from the truth.
The Endless Spring was… unique, to say the least. In hindsight, it was a truly remarkable mory, far beyond what other enchanted tools of its Rank and Class were supposed to be. But then again, Cassie — the person who had initially received it from the Spell — was quite an unusual Awakened herself.
Considering that her Aspect was of the almost unheard of Sacred Rank, the Nightmare from where the Endless Spring had co must have been a remarkable trial, as well.
In any case, the Endless Spring could not help Sunny with what he was trying to do at the mont.
The Marvelous Mimic, however, did.
So, Sunny augnted his Shadow instead of the beautiful glass bottle.
He wanted to create a spatial storage mory for Rain, and for that, there was no better reference point than the Covetous Coffer, which the Marvelous Mimic had been born of.
Sunny closed his eyes and sighed, contemplating the next step… all the while continuing to weave threads of shadow essence with his additional hands, of course.
Space was an absolute law, so violating it was no easy task. He wasn't sure that there were mories out there that could achieve that, but if there were, they must have been of the Divine Rank. He was far from being capable of creating sothing like that.
Luckily, there were plenty of ways to manipulate space without violating its laws.
The original Covetous Coffer had done just that, and the Marvelous Mimic inherited this ability. It contained an independent space within itself — a pocket dinsion, basically — and at the sa ti served as a portal between the larger world and that space. More than that…
Sunny leaned back with a contemplative expression.
In so sense, the Covetous Coffer had also been a soulbound mory. Not to the sa degree as and in a different way than the Mantle of the Underworld, but its capacity to mimic various objects, as well as the volu of its inner space, had depended on the potency of its master's soul.
That was definitely sothing Sunny had to explore further. Even if he could not repeat what Nether had done with the Mantles, there were still ways for him to achieve the desired effect.
In any case, creating an independent dinsion and then connecting it to the world through a mory was still a difficult task. Sunny was confident that he could do it, if given enough ti for research and experintation… but Rain did not need sothing that sophisticated, and there was a much easier way.
