Level 596 no Tanya Minarai

Noa, a beasthuman child, dreams of becoming a blacksmith like his father, Nomad, once known as the Divine Blacksmith. After Noa’s mother dies, Nomad sinks into grief and alcohol, leaving his fourteen-year-old child to support him through smithing. To obtain Nomad’s tools, Noa ventures into dangerous places and gathers materials—many of them astonishingly rare. When Nomad learns what Noa has been doing, he asks a trusted adventurer to check the young smith’s level. The result is an astonishing 596, higher than even the kingdom’s hero. Noa’s remarkable level raises a question: what has allowed this apprentice to reach such heights?
