Rodney Clew was never what anyone would call a "calm" person. The fact that he suffered from a weak constitution often meant his tendency to get in fights ended up with him collapsed on the ground. Everyone said his temper would get him killed one day... he never thought they'd be RIGHT though! Still, getting reincarnated in a world of magic and fantasy wouldn't be too bad, right? At least now he'd be healthy and could actually DO things other people did, right!? Yeah... about that... The World of Avelia is undergoing a reconstruction of sorts, issued by the Gods themselves. Dungeons have begun stagnating, and the Gods fear where this will lead; to counteract this, various souls that would normally be granted normal reincarnations into their realm have instead been conscripted to become "Variant Cores," with the possibility of becoming the template to a new Dungeon Core Sub-species, a "prestigious" role that now falls to Rodney... no matter how much he doesn't want it. They want to stick him in a shiny rock and have him build a big hole in the ground for people to beat up monsters in and get gear from? Uh uh, that isn't happening. He isn't gonna go out of his way to pick fights, but the idea of him just sitting back and letting other people walk all over him AGAIN is off the table. After all, don't these people know the best defense is a great offense!?
