While his family goes out to celebrate, Tristan witnesses a tragedy that will shape his Path forever. He must now navigate an ever-expanding magical world filled with legendary loot, dangerous dungeons, and even worse... seemingly omnipresent oozes. In a world where any Path can lead to divinity, will the need to rely on his own crafting prove sufficient to make the journey? Epic LitRPG Fantasy. New chapters every Monday and Friday.
