A lonesome man stood on the highest point in the world, the light reflected on his armour granting him a divine guise. He raised his hammer toward the sky and uttered.

"I shall make the perfect Item, I pledge this on my life, if dragons stood in my path, I shall make swords out of their teeth and armour out of their scales. If the whole of Ethea stood in my path, I shall burn all of Ethea to the ground. If a God stood in my path, then I shall slay a God."

…….

The Public didn't know how to classify Ethea, was it simply a game or was it a new world?

Some hated it, some loved it, but both of those two sides agreed on one thing, in Ethea you can achieve anything, whether that was ruling a kingdom or even creating a new religion.

Marcus Ricci was no one, he was your average joe, a history professor almost reaching 30 without any grand achievements in life. Marcus thought that he would also be a nobody in Ethea, but fate and maybe some other forces do not seem satisfied with that predicament.

He shall battle dragons, kill basilisks, face eldritch horrors, and many more accomplishments. He shall do all of that for one motive, to create the perfect item, an item he would be proud to call his masterpiece.

This is the story of a nobody facing hardship, battles, politics, and Gods all for the sake of his ambition. Will he be able to achieve it? Or will fade away and join his predecessors in the endless flow of the river of time?

One thing's for sure, Marcus will not go out without a fight, even if it costs him everything. And fight he shall!
