Blacksmith Apprentice at Level 596

Noa, a fourteen-year-old beasthuman with the features of a puppy, harbors a single burning ambition: to become a master blacksmith. This dream was inherited from his father, Nomad, who was once celebrated as the legendary Divine Blacksmith. However, following the tragic death of Noa’s mother, Nomad succumbed to grief and alcoholism, abandoning his craft. Determined to reignite his father’s passion, young Noa has spent years venturing into perilous territories to gather rare smithing materials, constantly risking his life in the process. Meanwhile, he works ordinary shifts at the local forge just to keep them both fed and sheltered. Everything changes when Nomad finally examines the stockpile his son has brought home. He realizes that the materials are not merely uncommon—they are impossibly rare treasures. Stunned, Nomad summons a trusted adventurer companion to appraise the boy's status. The reading defies all logic: Noa stands at an astonishing level 596, surpassing even the most celebrated hero of the kingdom. How did a simple apprentice achieve such unfathomable strength? This captivating fantasy adventure follows a devoted young beasthuman whose hidden power is truly out of this world.
