Crystal Core

On Earth, Ryan was slowly succumbing to a mysterious disease, his body crystallizing. A sudden portal offers an unexpected, unchosen escape into a new realm. Here, he's been summoned, but not for the quiet life he desires; he's expected to be a hero in a world under brutal siege.

Ryan is a smart, pragmatic individual driven by an intense desire for personal freedom and the right to live his own life. Though he'll act honorably when necessary, he emphatically rejects the role of a savior.

This series chronicles Ryan's transformative weak-to-strong journey, where his unique condition becomes the foundation for his rapid cultivation and progression. He gathers a diverse ensemble-cast, forming a found-family as he navigates political machinations and battles monstrous incursions, all to carve out his own destiny and protect his new home. The narrative balances a mixed-tone, delivering both intense action and character-driven moments.
