Story & Plot

Youngwoo Shin's real life is going nowhere. He works odd jobs, owes money, and his own family has written him off as a hopeless game addict. In Satisfy, the VR game the whole world plays, he is Grid, and he is not much better there: a mediocre warrior with terrible luck.

Then a punishing quest leads Grid to Pagma's Rare Book, the lost knowledge of a legendary blacksmith. Using it changes his class to Pagma's Successor, a legendary craftsman class. It also resets his levels back to the start, with his stats pushed below zero for good measure.

Most players would delete the character. Grid cannot afford to. So he starts doing the one thing nobody in Satisfy respects: he makes things. Every item he forges is stronger than it should be, word spreads, and the player everyone laughed at starts gathering allies, enemies and a reputation, one impossible piece of gear at a time.
