Roderick is finding his Path towards Godhood. That in itself is nothing special of course, there are hundreds of fools who pick up a rusty sword and have dreams of slaughtering their enemies until they reach the heavens. He does it his way though and while he can hold his own in a fight that is not his strenght. No, he is a gambler and a merchant. Where others wield fire and earth, he plays with Karma and Fate. And evidently it is working, as he has already taken 34 steps on his way out of the Labyrinth. This is the story of how he takes the rest of them. However many that might be.
