Supremacy Games

This hostility was born after the humans had attempted to imitate the Dwarfs' Artifacts by using technology and elemental stones!

This happened almost 2500 years ago.

Well, it shouldn't be considered as an attempt since humans had truly succeeded in creating imitations!!

Those imitations were naturally not as good as the original artifacts. However, they were cheaper and more accessible than the Dwarf Race's artifacts.

After all, just like how the Witches needed to personally create potions and substances due to their innate trait, The dwarfs also needed to use their innate trait for artifact creations.

This meant, they could never contest against the machinery and technology of humans who were pumping out those artifacts imitations like a candy factory.

Despite so, the Dwarf race didn't mind the competition at all as the only thing in their eyes was reaching the limits of artifact creation!

Just like the Metal race, who spend their entire time searching for the Truth of the Universe, the Dwarf race had their own end goal.

That was creating an Artifact capable of changing the properties of minerals! An Artifact that could turn coal into gold, stone into diamond, a piece of metal into the rarest alloys in the Universe!

The money gotten from their products was just a means to help them create better and stronger artifacts until they reach that height of creating such an unfathomable Artifact.

So they didn't mind that the humans were selling imitations.

Thus, the Dwarf Race continued making artifacts and selling them like always. They weren't as expensive as before due to the imitations hitting the markets but they still didn't care.

However, this all changed when the humans started doing what they knew best...Letting their desires control the best of them.

The number one desire that was always prominent in humans and goblins was greed!

The demand for their imitations was starting to get out of their control as more and more customers all over the universe wanted to buy from them.

Since their imitations could never be as good as the Dwarf's Artifacts, the humans couldn't really raise the price of their artifacts to match the Dwarf's.

If they did, no one would bother buying from them as customers would rather struggle and buy the real deal than an imitation with the same price.

Just like on Earth, no one was retarded enough to buy an iPhone counterpart with the same price as the original device even if they were desperate.

So, they asked the Dwarfs to raise their Artifacts' price so they could raise their own prices for the imitations.

Unfortunately, the Dwarfs weren't that greedy and had their own principles about their products' pricing.

So, they got rejected without any chance to negotiate.
