Ezias should have died on the cold floor of a Portland bank, gunned down in a senseless robbery. Instead, he awakens in a desert, chosen to bear the rare Gemsmith class, with the power to forge weapons and relics infused with the essence of monsters.

But power comes at a price. A curse hangs over all
Khonsu, the wanderers summoned to this realm: those who fail to grow stronger are turned into statues of salt. For Ezias, there is no retreat, no pause, no second chance at this.

Guided at first by a blacksmith’s hand, Ezias quickly learns that being a Gemsmith is far more than shaping gems in a forge. Without the essence of slain monsters, a gem is nothing but a pretty rock. To awaken his craft, he must step into dungeons, clash with deadly beasts, and wrest their power into his creations.

With every battle fought, every item forged, Ezias gains experience and access to stronger skills. Slowly, his craft evolves, yet danger presses in from all sides. A war rages between the gods: one who calls wanderers like him into this world, and another who seeks to destroy them.

If Ezias is to endure, he must create weapons and armor powerful enough to arm the
Medjay, the elite dungeon-clearing adventurers, while fighting beside them to harvest the gems that hold the world’s last hope.

Forge, fight, survive. Repeat. For Ezias, it’s the only path forward.
