In the age of Universal Awakening on the Azure Sphere, a myriad of races and gods coexist. 
Devils, dark gods, and monsters descend upon the mortal realm, only to be met by the Awakened.
Howard, during his Awakening Ritual, discovers dual talents— F-rank Mana Recovery, and the supreme talent: Supreme Synthesis. 
He keeps a low profile, hiding as a 'common magus.'
Through countless acts of synthesis, he forges supreme artifacts, supreme skills, and supreme classes! 
Fireball synthesis... Ding! Synthesis successful, attaining D-rank skill— Fire Serpent! 
Fire Serpent synthesis... Ding! Synthesis successful, attaining B-rank skill— Fire Python! 
Fire Python synthesis... Ding! Synthesis successful, attaining S-rank skill— Dragonfire!
When devils invade and dark gods descend, they are left slack-jawed by the Azure Sphere before them. 
"No, this is a trap... a trap disguised as a mere cupcake!"

Talent Awakening: I, the Weakest Awakened, Start with Dragonfire Spell

Satisfied with the twenty iron swords, Howard formally employed the blacksmiths, who were elated at their new positions.

This move not only ensured a steady supply of arms for Howard's forces but also bolstered the castle's economic ecosystem, creating a symbiotic relationship between the lord and his craftsmen.

The blacksmiths had all heard of Howard's feats – in just a matter of days, he had risen from a knight to a baron.

Esteemed as a notable figure, they were willing to craft weapons and armor for Howard without any thought of compensation.

Howard, currently strapped for cash, was somewhat tempted upon hearing that these craftsmen were offering their services without demanding wages.

He summoned the leader of these twenty blacksmiths for a detailed discussion.

This leader, dressed in a garment resembling a kitchen apron, stained and worn from long hours in the forge, was evidently a seasoned figure in the smithy.
