A master blacksmith and craftsman, he could create weapons and artifacts that weren’t just breathtakingly beautiful but imbued with unparalleled power. Yet, his glory came to an abrupt halt when a tragic accident in his forge changed everything. His hands—once instruments of art and magic—were ruined. Fingers that had moved with deft precision were now stiff and lifeless. The world that had once celebrated his creations now offered him nothing but pity. Hyun-soo became a shadow of the man he once was, trapped in silence and despair. Until one day, a miracle of modern times knocked on his door. The Orion a newly released virtual reality game—promised a boundless world of adventure. Within it, players could become anything they desired: legendary heroes, fearless explorers, or even rulers of vast kingdoms.

The first time he entered the world of Orion, the system greeted him with its cold, mechanical messages [Artifact Can't Be Repaired.] Hyun-soo raised an eyebrow, scoffing. Ares operated on strict logic—level caps, predefined game rules, and automated tools. But Hyun-soo saw these constraints for what they were: minor hurdles. His lifetime of experience as a true craftsman had taught him that artistry transcended mere systems. He quickly realized that the game’s mechanics didn’t truly understand the essence of smithing. Armed with his expertise, he began to defy those limits, creating legendary items that even the highest-level players could only dream of wielding. Hyun-soo, the genius blacksmith, had returned—and this time, he was forging a future beyond anyone’s wildest imagination.

As love rekindles between them amidst the chaos of rebellion and forbidden magic, Selene must decide: Is Damon the same man who betrayed her, or a victim of the cycle’s cruel twists?

In this monotonous life, there was only one thing that managed to ease his sadness a little. It was a small novel that a patient had given him. Unexpectedly, an unforeseen accident caused him to reincarnate as a minor character in that very novel. “Hahaha… At last, I can escape from that dull world!” "Now I'll use this knowledge to seize all the treasures and secrets meant for the main character... enough for me to live a peaceful and luxurious life in this world." ...
