    The greatest hero alive died to save a level 1 blacksmith--Me.

    Tristan, the son of a renowned armorsmith, always wanted to surpass his father's legacy. But when presented with a quest to avenge the man who died to save his life, he knew he had to become more than just a smith.

    How is a level 1 blacksmith supposed to kill five elites strong enough to slay a legend?!

    Bound by an unusual Core that only allows him to use gear he crafts himself, Tristan must fight to survive in an ever-expanding magical world filled with legendary loot, dangerous dungeons, omnipresent oozes… and all-too human gods.

    Sword and hammer in hand, he will have to forge himself into something greater.
