Dren's Den

In the quiet crafting village of Arthursberg, Dren's life was little more than a routine of pain and drudgery. A mangled leg, a crippled arm, and a shattered future left him stuck at the post office, stacking boxes while his friends chased dreams he could only imagine.

But everything changes the day an explosion shakes the nearby forest. When everyone else turns a blind eye, Dren hobbles toward danger, determined to help. What he finds is an Artificer's workshop—and a gift that will rewrite his destiny.

Granted the Artificer Class at Level 1, Dren is thrust into a world of possibilities where creativity meets combat. First, he must rebuild himself, constructing mechanical limbs to replace his broken body. But these upgrades don't come easy. Resources are scarce, and the only way to get them is by diving into dungeons, facing lethal monsters, and risking it all.

As Dren levels up, he gains more than just XP. New schematics unlock, granting him the power to create ingenious machines and powerful constructs. But with every invention, he attracts attention, some good, some deadly. Allies will rally to his side, but enemies will stop at nothing to crush his rise.

From outcast to innovator, from invalid to adventurer, Dren's journey will test his courage, ingenuity, and determination. Can he rise to the top and become the hero Arthursberg never saw coming?
