What should you do in a new world where people strive for transcendence and immortality—when, let’s be honest, you don’t have any special talents? Of course, you make use of what you have in the body you’ve inherited—by happy coincidence, it just happens to be working part-time for your uncle, a master of runes. But there’s one snag: a debt of 17 silver coins for a broken order for the guards, bandits in the streets, a cramped consciousness in the back rooms of your mind belonging to the former owner of the body, and not understanding what’s going on. Still, there is a chance at transcendence. You only need to master the art of inscribing runes—to set yourself on the path of power and achieve immortality.
