Lord of the Forge 2

Two months ago I was the academy’s problem. Now I’m everyone’s. I’m Wade Corrin. Artificer. Still F-rank on paper, still dead last on a ranking board I don’t even live under anymore. Also the first of my kind in three hundred years—the man whose work can push your gear past its rating… if you trust me. That part’s non-negotiable. Which is why nobody powerful believes it. The forge I rented has bunks now. A scrap line. More people every week. Reni runs breach floors with me. Cora’s hunting whoever capped her. Petra’s S-rank—and every day she stays, the academy looks worse. A noble house offers me protection. The kind with a leash sewn in. I pass. They’ve hoarded the capability for centuries, and they want their property back. So they send Vesl—sharp, professional, and certain I’m a thief. She takes me right out of my own forge. Their safehouse has one flaw. The cell they put me in has a workbench. And in a glass case: two black-steel daggers they confiscated from her family—declared beyond repair by the same men who give her orders. They’re not beyond repair. I can feel it from here. When I make them whole, Vesl’s going to learn exactly how much her guild has lied to her. Lord of the Forge 2 is a men’s harem LitRPG adventure featuring OP MC crafting progression, base building, dungeon runs, explicit spice, and a deadpan MC who’d rather be at his bench than in the middle of a war between the guild, the nobles, and the academy. Perfect for readers who love: • Crafting LitRPG with stat panels and resonance bonds • Enemies to lovers: the enforcer sent to bring him in • Reforging gear the world swore was beyond saving • Base building: one rented forge growing into a foundry-town • Dungeon runs with squad-wide resonance multipliers • A loyal, growing harem with no jealousy or drama • Explicit, character-driven spice tied to bond milestones • Dry-witted MC who undersells every win
