About this listen

Betrayed by his guild... Left for dead...
He'll become stronger than they ever imagined.

Ever since Arwin was summoned as a child, all he has known is war. And now, to claim the demon queen's life and end the war, he has to sacrifice himself. But, as he deals the final blow, the Hero of Mankind is betrayed.

Caught in a magical explosion thought to end him, Arwin awakens a month later to find that everyone has already moved on. His [Hero] class has changed to a unique blacksmith Class called [The Living Forge] that is empowered by consuming magical items, but some of his old passive [Titles] remain, giving him the power to forge his new future exactly the way he wants to.

Arwin isn't going to settle for anything less than completely surpassing the powers he wielded as the Hero.

After all, you are what you eat—and Arwin’s diet just became legendary.

good really good

I would suggest this book to a lot of my friends it's a good book I enjoyed it it's really long but it didn't drag out you know like it never felt like the author was just trying to write for time and make filler if that makes any sense

Entertaining

The primary characters are easy to become invested in and the story is similar to other "Forge" novels but unique enough to escape the formulaic moniker. Most of the primary characters have well-developed individual hardships and the major thrust of the story is one of struggling to right past wrongs. Some areas are lightly developed but not enough to significantly detract for the plot. The pacing moves forward nicely. There are a number of twists with some easily anticipated and some left unrevealed.

Peter Berkrot's performance is done well but lacks a bit on the female tenor.

I plan to continue the series.

the story, and the premise

it a twist on sent to another wold plot , and rpg story's in sted of a combat based progestin its crafting based. it hevey is about none combat class being overpowered its a nice twist. after books like he who fights with monsters and defines of the fall, story like these live and die on characters this one is no different but I can't wait for the next books , the hole your a Smith but can kick ass never gets old . it's used when he fights humans all the time.

Great voice acting!

The voice acting felt very alive and the MC is a reasonable guy, also the side characters seem to have some depth.
