The Forgemaster of Broken Wills

In a world where cultivators are Soulsmiths who temper their indomitable will into spiritual weapons, Wei Jin is a failure. Born with a “Brittle Soul,” his willpower is like flawed glass, shattering before it can be forged. As a scrap sorter for the Anvil Heart Sect, he spends his days sifting through the wreckage of broken dreams and failed ambitions. He discovers a way to smelt not his own will, but the lingering regrets and shattered oaths from the very discards he handles. As a metaphysical plague of Apathy known as the “Soul-Rust” begins to corrode the wills of the world’s greatest heroes, Wei Jin, the boy with the broken spirit, must become a master forger of fallen hopes to hammer out a future for a world that has lost its conviction.
