The Gray Tide descends, civilization collapses, and combat-class professionals rule the world.
Lu Chen awakens as the most useless profession, a "Leyline Prospector," and is tossed into an abandoned mine to die.
Then, on the day of a cave-in, he sees golden mineral veins that no one else can, and digs a furnace fragment out of the ruins, capable of purifying forbidden artifacts.
Combat specialists? Relic hunters? Sorry, the things you fight tooth and nail to claim, I can dig up enough to build a city.
From scavenging alone to becoming indispensable to an entire city.
You can refuse to accept it, but your energy, your weapons, and the water you drink all come from me.
This wasteland is mine to rule.
