I Was Just Doing Some Blacksmithing, So Why Are You Calling Me a Warmonger?

In the second year of the New Republic of China, the land was in turmoil, and the Sequences held sway. The Southern Government had only recently been established, while northern warlords continued to fight among themselves. Foreigners brought ironclad ships and cannons to batter at the gates, while traitors within plotted to restore the old regime. In these turbulent times, Confucian scholars could make their words come true and settle the fate of the world with a single sentence, while warriors carved out their own domains and attained sainthood through their physical bodies. Musicians composed scores for the troubled age, painters sketched its opening scenes, and storytellers wrote its elegies. In the shadows, Weavers spun all things and manipulated fate; Actors transformed themselves into countless forms and could never be found; doctors and farmers lay low, waiting for an opportunity. Liu Han transmigrated into this world, starting out in the Blacksmith Sequence. Crafting weapons for others grants him feedback that strengthens his skills! [Old Wang killed a ferocious wild boar with a kitchen knife. Forging points +1] [‘God of War’ killed the ‘Celestial Master’ with a Green Dragon Crescent Blade. Forging points +1000] [The Tai'an Army killed the ‘Grand Secretary’ with a Divine Might Invincible Great General Cannon. Forging points +10000] From [Basic Forging], which can only make kitchen knives, to the all-powerful [Creation]; from [Basic Fire Control], which can barely start a fire by friction, to [Flame-Forging Overlord], who commands fire; from [Basic Herb Gathering], which can barely keep a person fed, to [Miraculous Healing], which can bring the dead back to life and restore flesh to bone! From kitchen knives to steel fleets, from handcrafting to assembly-line production! Liu Han sometimes wondered: all he did was forge metal, so why did everyone call him a war profiteer? Wait, what do you mean I started the Industrial Revolution?
