Becoming a god starting from blacksmithing

In the world of forged destinies, Shen Chi has spent his life honing his craft as a blacksmith, tempering metal and shaping the very essence of iron. It is a life of quiet purpose, one that brings him little notice until the day he crosses paths with an enforcer from the Yansheng Pavilion. In a moment of unthinking bravery, Shen Chi grasps the sword, and an unseen force courses through his body, leaving behind a haunting pattern of rust-like marks on his chest. This is the mark of a promise, a binding contract that cannot be broken, a power that relies not on talent or technique, but on the unwavering commitment to one's word. Those who wield this power are known as Promise Bearers, individuals who, once they make a promise, will stop at nothing to see it fulfilled, even if it means their own demise. Shen Chi is about to discover that the promises he has made, the ones he hasn't even realized he made, will now shape his future.
