About this story
Who needs spells when you have relics?
For thousands of years, magic has been obtained through trades with the gods. Sacrifice magic materials upon their sacred altars, and the gods will offer magic relics in return.
But the world of magic and powerful relics has always been far out of reach for Dain, a simple trinket merchant, until masked cultists tried to sacrifice him to the gods. Vowing revenge, he decides to commit the ultimate taboo: make his own altar so he can obtain the power to hunt the cultists down.
Only, he accidentally creates an altar for a god who shouldn’t exist, and this god is a little different: it will only trade him cursed relics.
Dain will scour the world, hunt the magic beasts in his books, and barter their remains for greater and darker relics. His enemies and their ancient plots of calamity run deep. He’ll have to go even deeper to find them.
What to expect:
- LitRPG with gear-based progression
- Bartering magic relics with otherworldly gods
- Ancient schemes, vast worldbuilding, and epic battles
- No harem
