Synopsis
Reborn as a minor game character, Kururi Helan defies fate to become a blacksmith, rewriting his destiny.
The main character finds himself reborn into the world of a game he once played, taking on the role of a minor character named Kururi Helan. Rather than following the predetermined path laid out for this supporting role, he decides to forge his own destiny. With memories of his previous life intact, he chooses to pursue a different calling - aiming to become a skilled blacksmith, a craft he had talent for in his former existence. This is the story of how one man rewrites his fate in a world where he was meant to be just another background character. (Source: Novel Updates)
