In a world teeming with heroes defined by singular, overwhelming talents, Tallon is an anomaly. Transported from Earth with no innate magical aptitude, no legendary bloodline, and no unique skill, he finds himself in a world named kýrios; at the very bottom of every conceivable progression system and unable to level up beyond level 40 out of 100 in any and all skills. While everyone else is born with a title and there path that which they will set out to master is assigned from birth. While others dedicate themselves to mastering a single path, Tallon embarks on a different journey, one of breadth over depth. He studies, he trains, and he diligently works to become proficient in a little bit of everything. His path is one of relentless effort, pushing him to acquire a moderate understanding of countless skills, from swordsmanship and alchemy to ancient lore and intricate diplomacy. It's a path that initially seems destined for mediocrity, but Tallon soon discovers a unique strength in his very lack of specialization. By combining disparate skills and understanding their interconnectedness, he unlocks abilities and solutions that elude those singularly focused. This is the story of Tallon, the Unspecialized Hero, who proves that true power might not lie in being the best at one thing, but in understanding how to do many things well, challenging the very definition of what it means to be a hero in a world that values unique gifts above all else.
