Sword of the Arena

If you like Demon’s Diary, you will certainly like this as well. Conversely, if you like this novel and wish to read something similar, read Demon’s Diary.

but its gud >.<

If this was called "Abe the Runesmith" or "Abe the Blacksmithing Knight" I would've started it a long time ago. 35 chapters in, there is barely any wizardry & the little focus that is there is placed on "Qi" (body strengthening for Knights) or magic ink to transcribe mana onto weapons to make magic swords & such. Dear reader; if you're anything like me, a person who prefers crafters to mages, you'll probably enjoy this story.

Edit: Welp, for the first 100 chapters, at least. Then comes the magic. I ended up dropping it because MC is just so overpowered that it became boring, frankly.

Why there's no update? It's been a year, but don't worry im waiting

Yes, the novel here is complete now.
