Rise Of The Living Forge	comment	Arwin was summoned from Earth when he was ten, trained by the Adventurers' Guild to be the Hero of Lian, and fought his way through the invading armies of the demon queen for years. Finally they clash face to face, both sacrificing themselves to inflict a mortal wound on the other...and then Arwin spots a strange gem inside his armour, and everything explodes.When he wakes up, he's in an unfamiliar city, his previous class and skills are gone, and the Mesh has instead made him a magical blacksmith. The news proclaims the fallen hero's sacrifice, and how a new Hero has arisen to face the next demon queen. It's a perfect chance for Arwin to retire and enjoy building things instead of destroying them. But the events surrounding "his" funeral aren't adding up, and he increasingly suspects that something much more sinister is going on under the surface of the Adventurers' Guild...He's gonna need some better armour.Rise of the Living Forge is a blacksmith LitRPG published on Royal Road by Actus, who also writes Return of the Runebound Professor.

He still can eat food, and enjoys it, but can't sustain himself on it. Just as well his new class lets him make those items.

Even the items heated by it don't harm him; he can reach into the forge and shape red-hot metal with his bare hands. Anyone working with him doesn't have that luxury, though.

After the murder of Zeke, he holds Reya back from retaliating in the heat of emotion, and instead spends weeks making new armor for himself and Lillia. He absolutely wants revenge, but he's taking the time to be careful and thorough.

He's curious about how well she'd fit in the guild, though, so he draws out the conversation, testing her patience and finding out how much she's willing to pay for it. Once he's satisfied that she doesn't have ulterior motives, she's just genuinely willing to indenture herself for months to pay off the sword if it will make her stronger, he gives it to her on much more lenient terms, leaving her confused.

Verdant Blaze will burn anyone except Arwin who tries to use it.

It's useful both in forging and in combat, but limited both by his energy reserves and the need to keep his unusual new class a secret (it's not normal for a smith to be able to fight).

Especially when they put the pieces together and realise that they were both played for fools by their respective guilds, and both thought they were simply defending their people from bloodthirsty invaders. Once they move past their former enmity, they have a lot in common and understand each other in a way that no-one else can.
