What to Expect

Rein can make extraordinarily powerful gear, but he has no combat experience to go with it. That mismatch gives this carefree fantasy adventure its playful edge: magical craftsmanship is one thing, facing monsters is another. His fresh start has a light, comic spirit, with more pleasure in the possibilities of his unusual talent than in the bitterness of being cast out.

Fellow outcasts join Rein on his adventures, turning a personal restart into a shared one. Their monster-fighting gives the story a concrete direction, while the gathering of misfits adds warmth to its enchanted world. Rein may bring exceptional equipment, but he is also beginning again alongside others who have been pushed aside.

Official premise

When enchantment mage Rein is dismissed from his guild after buffing all their gear, he reclaims every enhancement for himself. Armed with only basic equipment and stolen power, he embarks on an overpowered adventure from scratch.
