The Sacred Blacksmith

William Jaeger is a blacksmith known for the legacy of his family name. Tired of living under its shadow, he leaves it all behind in search of a new path. With nothing but determination, he returns to the quiet town of Aoba to start over. But his peaceful life shatters after a chance encounter with a mysterious woman—one that pulls him into a world far more dangerous than he ever imagined.

What if a boy with no name, no memories… could tip the balance of the world just by existing? This is the story of a boy who wakes up with nothing—no past, no identity—only a strange instinct and a feeling that something isn’t right. He finds himself in Mayanamay, a world where the chosen are blessed with divine gifts known as Tatvansh, and the one who wields are called Ansh who protect the realms from monsters whose power can be seen in the color of their skin—from green to crimson to silver. But this boy wasn’t chosen. He wasn’t meant to be here. And yet, the world begins to shift around him. As cities fall quiet and monsters vanish without a trace, ancient forces stir in fear of something they buried long ago. The boy seeks peace—but fate keeps dragging him into battles, into questions, and into memories that aren’t his… or maybe they are. Who is he? Why does everything feel familiar and wrong at the same time? And why does the world break just a little more every time he steps forward?

"Your world is about to change." A voice whispered to me. I turned around but everywhere was dark and I couldn't make anything or anyone out. "Who is there?" I called out into the darkness. "I'm a friend Arin, no need to be frightened." The soft voice called out to me. "What do you want with me?" I questioned, my senses on high alert as I could feel the person moving around me in circles. "I don't want anything from you. I'm here to help you." The woman revealed and my brows furrowed in confusion. "Help me?" I asked. Arin is an omega born into the Bloodfang Pack, a role she’s long accepted but never fully embraced. Growing up with her best friend Siena, who dreams of becoming Luna, Arin has always been overlooked and dismissed by those around her, especially the Alpha’s sons, the triplets Kael, Jaxon, and Rowan. However, on her 18th birthday, everything shifts when Arin learns that her mate bond has been forged with one of the triplets. The triplets, each with their own distinct personalities and goals, are drawn into a tangled web of competition, love, and duty. Arin’s bond shifts between them, causing tension and uncertainty within the Pack. But Arin’s journey takes an unexpected turn when she learns of her true heritage: she is the descendant of an ancient royal bloodline, and her powers are linked to the Moonwell, the Pack’s most sacred and powerful source of life. As the Moonwell begins to fade, Arin’s destiny is revealed. Only she can restore the Moonwell and save the Pack, but doing so means losing her mate bond forever. The battle for the Pack’s future escalates when a betrayal leads to a civil war, and one of the triplets sacrifices himself to protect Arin and restore balance. With the Pack’s survival hanging by a thread, Arin must face the harsh reality of her choices and what it means to lead.

She thought she was free. Until a billionaire and his daughter saw her — and decided she was theirs. One wanted a wife. The other wanted a mother. Neither asked if she agreed. They watched her for two years. Followed her every move. Until one day, they flew across the world and bought her future — with smiles, paperwork, and charm that smelled like roses but felt like chains. Now, she sleeps in silk sheets she didn’t choose. Wears clothes she didn’t buy. Answers to a name she didn’t earn. Every touch is a test. Every night is a transaction. And every whispered “I love you” is a warning. She hides pills beneath her tongue. She dreams of running. But there is no escape — only a cage made of wealth, obsession, and unbearable intimacy. Because he doesn’t just want her body. He wants her compliance. Her mind. Her loyalty. Her womb. And when the daughter discovers the truth — she doesn’t cry. She accuses. Now the doors are locked. The smiles are gone. And the only thing more terrifying than being watched… is being needed. This isn’t love. This is possession with a wedding ring. This is family, twisted into obsession. This is what happens when a girl becomes the answer to someone else's madness.

Ren Amaki, a struggling webnovelist, unexpectedly dies after publishing the final chapter of his beloved fantasy series, The Veil of Aethel. His only consistent reader, a passionate commenter, leaves a heartfelt final message expressing sadness that the story is over and wishing she could live in its world. A mysterious power grants that wish, but with a twist. Ren awakens, reborn as "The Chronicler," in a world that is his novel, The Veil of Aethel, but it's fundamentally altered. The characters, plotlines, and even the laws of the world are different from what he meticulously wrote. Adding to his confusion is Aria, a quirky, chatty "Author System" voice in his head. Ren soon discovers Aria is none other than his loyal reader, now manifested in a pseudo-physical, undeniably cute, and fiercely possessive form. Unbeknownst to her, she's unknowingly responsible for reshaping his entire world with her deeply held visions and desires for the story. Armed with his unique Echo Resonance powers (the ability to manipulate and perceive through sound) and saddled with Aria's unpredictable, chaotic narrative "nudges," Ren must now navigate his own warped creation. Together, this unlikely author-and-reader duo embarks on a journey to understand what happened, untangle the consequences of these changes, and deal with the increasingly bizarre threats that emerge. All while Ren grapples with the realization that the world-shaping force interfering with his story (and his life!) might just be the cutest, most unreliable companion he's ever had.

But that's cool, that's cool, no that's fine, that's perfect, real peachy, totally not bumbed out about it! What? I'm lying and it's not fine? And I'm actually bumbed out about it? Sh-Shut up, you don't know anything! Anyway, what's third, you ask? What? You didn't ask? Well I'll tell you anyway, I'm an F-Rank, that's right, an F-Rank. The only one in the world at that. So basically, I'm the weakest Warrior in existence. Ain't that something? But you know what? That's also fine, 'cause I don't care... No really I don't. It's true, stop doubting me already, I can see your face through the fourth-wall! Yeah, that's right, better watch yourself. So what if I'm the weakest Warrior, huh? I'm still capable, I just have to do my best, push passed my limits! Yeah, 'make do with what you have' is what I always say. What? I'm lying again? When have I ever said that? Again, shut up, you don't know anything!" *** In a world where monsters from many portals called Dungeon Gates threaten mankind as we know it and half of the world's population Awakens as superhumans with skills and the ability to manipulate Magic in order to pass through said Dungeon Gates to clear the Dungeons, Raid, a 19-year old orphan finds he has no choice but to pick a very weak Class after Awakening as a Warrior due to his low Mana Capacity, the only F-Rank Class in the entire world, Blacksmith.
