Synopsis

The protagonist, a forger, successfully creates an original piece of equipment, a chestplate, with unique properties and an imprint that cannot be replicated. He intends to sell the chestplate and its blueprints for high prices. However, another player, Deal Striker, starts selling cheaper, lower-quality armor en masse, causing the protagonist's sales to fail. The protagonist then strategically floods the market with more of his unique chestplates at an affordable price, causing the guilds to abandon Deal Striker and flock to him instead, greatly diminishing Deal Striker's popularity and influence.
