Hyeonsu’s life took a turn for the worse when a fire left him covered in burns, his father in the hospital, and their family smithy in a blaze.

With a bit of luck, he might make enough money there to pay for his father’s hospital bills. With so many irons in the fire, can Hyeonsu rekindle the flame of his passion and rise from the ashes?
