A fire in the university building ruins my plans to become an engineer—and, really, my life as a whole. A mysterious person named Proximo offers me a new life, one where the stuffy lecture halls are replaced by gloomy vaults of a dungeon. But why gloomy? Here it’s actually cozy, because this is the Shrine of the Lord of Life—my shrine, which I will protect. And let my enemies thirst for my death; I’ll survive, settle accounts with everyone according to their deeds, and uncover the secrets this world hides.
