Tristan has finally Awakened and is ready to begin his journey as a level 1 blacksmith, but finds himself bound and blessed by a Core that makes it so he can only use the gear he crafts himself. 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.
