Synopsis
14-year-old beast-human Noa, aspiring blacksmith, secretly holds level 596—higher than the kingdom's hero—unbeknownst to drunken father Nomad.
The beasthuman Noa has a dream of becoming a blacksmith, as Noa's father, Nomad, used to be the acclaimed Divine Blacksmith. Since Noa's mother died, Nomad has drowned his days in liquor and grief, so Noa ventures to dangerous places to get Nomad's smithing materials. This leads to Noa's life being in continual risk. Noa is now 14 and doing normal work as a smithy to support Nomad, when Nomad makes an unreal discovery about his child! All of the materials Noa's collected are unbelievably rare! Nomad calls his familiar adventurer to check Noa's level...and it's at an amazingly high 596! What's the secret to this super-high level, higher than even the kingdom's hero?! Check out this adventuring fantasy that unfolds around a puppy-human apprentice that's out of this world! (Source: AlphaPolis)
