My Quiet Blacksmith Life in Another World

Eizo Tanya is a burned-out, middle-aged, software engineer. One night after working late, he throws himself in front of a speeding truck to save a cat. Although the cat survives, Eizo is not so lucky. In a spark of divine fate, the cat turns out to be a godlike being who offers him a second chance in another world! Does he ask to be a legendary warrior? A noble king? Nope! All Eizo wants is a peaceful life making things for others, and what better way to do that than becoming a blacksmith? He does have one other stipulation: a cat companion for his quiet life. His requests are granted...but with a twist! Eizo’s blacksmithing skills are so overpowered that they’re practically cheat abilities. On top of that, the cat companion he wished for turns out to be a half-tiger girl! With so much commotion in this world, will Eizo be able to forge a quiet life?

Forging weapons, customizing his cabin, and making connections in the city—life with Samya and Rike is busy but fulfilling for Eizo. That peace is shaken when Helen, the legendary mercenary known as the “Lightning Blade,” arrives at his forge to commission a pair of swords. Eizo rises to the challenge, pouring the full strength of his cheats into his craft. However, danger still lurks in the Black Forest. The black bear that once nearly killed Samya has returned, and this time, Eizo resolves to hunt it down himself. Can he hammer the bear into submission and protect the quiet life he’s forged?

Eizo does his best to live a humble life, and the last thing he wants is to be caught up in political intrigue. But when he stumbles across a noblewoman in a precarious situation, he has no choice but to step in and lend a hand. This young woman turns out

Eizo’s back from the capital, Diana has permanently joined the family, and requests just keep piling up at the forge! First, Helen asks Eizo to sharpen her twin blades, and then Camilo commissions a custom rapier—one made of mithril. Eizo struggles to master this difficult ore, but the final product is sharper and more powerful than anything he’s ever forged. However, this is frightening to Eizo, who doesn’t want to see anyone harmed, and he finds himself agonizing over the bloody implications of his craft. As he wrestles with this, a new face appears on his doorstep: Lidy the elf! She brings along a shattered mithril greatsword, and asks Eizo to reforge the fragments and restore the blade. Can Eizo steel his resolve and nail the repair, or will the sword’s magic prove to be too much for a humble blacksmith?
