Synopsis

Inscribed script and talismans share the same origins and have been passed down through the same lineage. Talisman makers and inscription masters came from the same school, and in ancient times they fought side by side against primordial demon beasts. At the dawn of the world, both inscriptions and talismans were carved onto bones and shells. Later, Suiren drilled wood to make fire, and metallurgy began to flourish in the Eastern Lands. Inscriptions were gradually cast onto bronze tripods, while talismans were drawn on demon hide. Back then, although talisman makers and inscription masters had gone their separate ways, the gap between them was not great. But who would have thought some idiotic bastard with no descendants would invent paper! While the inscription masters foolishly charged into battle lugging huge tripods, their rivals simply reached into their robes and pulled out a stack of paper! Needless to say, tragedy soon followed... Today, the lineage of inscription masters has nearly died out, and by a twist of fate, our protagonist has become the legendary “second-best inscription master under heaven”! Because there are only two inscription masters in the entire world: master and apprentice!
