The Weight Of It All

Most people on the continent of Terna never receive an Affinity — the magical power the Goddess grants at age sixteen. Terrence is one of the rare few who does, but his Affinity is unlike anything the Kingdom has ever recorded. Tied directly to the thing his peers have mocked him for his entire life — his weight — it is simultaneously his greatest embarrassment and his most unexpected advantage. With it, he gains access to internal energy, Skills, and the possibility of becoming a Dungeoneer.
