Adrian let out a deep sigh as he leaned back, closing his eyes for a brief moment of rest.
He had been at it for nearly three hours now—and not once had he felt truly satisfied with any of the armaments he created.
The system counted seven successful pieces so far, but the numbers didn't matter to him. Not when each one still felt… incomplete.
