Everyone gets skills. Nobody gets classes. Until a dead-last adventurer kills a raid boss and breaks the system.

Levi Summers is an F-rank tank freelancing E-rank instances for pocket change. He's got two skills, no party, and a past that still haunts him. When a routine run locks into a raid and his team dies around him, he redirects the boss's own lightning into its skull and claims a Dungeon Lord's crown. Hidden inside it: Class Smithing, the power to forge new classes and give anyone the ability to level up.

Blair Harrington, a Phoenix-kin pyromancer running from her father's guild, is the first to fight beside him. Maddy Walker, a Fairy-kin carrying the same scars Levi does, evolves into his Dungeon Fairy.

But a dungeon lord who forges classes is the most valuable target alive. Killers are already inside his walls. The Outwilds are pushing through his portal. And the entity that gave him this power wants something in return.

Dungeon building meets class crafting and the kind of progression where an F-rank nobody forges his own path to power.
