Born into a lower middle class family, Ace Lander grew up being told there was a simple formula for success: get an education, graduate, and work hard to build a prosperous future. But that formula failed him during the final stretch of his senior year when a local gang targeted him, putting everything he had and was building towards at risk.

Trapped and desperate, Ace felt his life spiraling out of control—until Ria Hart, a fellow classmate, discovering Ace's innate aptitude to become a Curse Master, a being capable of wielding curse energy and abilities but haunted by Curselings, took pity and introduced him to the secret world hidden beneath the mundane surface of their world, the World of Curses. 

Awakening as a Curse Master, Ace discovers he possesses an extraordinary innate curse tool: the Cursed Toybox. This tool comes with a unique class, Toymancer, granting Ace powers unlike any curse master the world has seen before. The Cursed Toybox allows him to animate and actualize toys, transforming them into powerful, living beings bound to his will.

From overpowered heroes to legendary gods, any toy that falls into Ace's Cursed Toybox springs to life with powers beyond one's imagination but bound to him in eternal servitude. Armed with his Toy Summons, Ace must navigate the perilous world of curses, protect his loved ones, and reclaim control of his destiny before the gang—and the darkness of the hidden world—consume him entirely.

The Strongest Curse Master

"Not funny," Delores snapped, glaring daggers at him. Still, she loosened her grip when she felt him tapping vigorously on her hand—a clear surrender.

Only to hear him cough dramatically and quip, "Cough—cough—so we're starting with choking and public s—guh—"

"Do you have a death wish?" Delores yelled, tightening her grip instinctively. God, she really wanted to snap his neck. But she couldn't. For the first time in her life, she actually regretted being too damn loyal. If not for that annoying sense of gratitude, she wouldn't be holding back right now.

During the entire exchange, Matthews just watched, arms crossed, not saying a word—or lifting a finger to stop Delores. Not because she didn't care. But because she, too, kind of wanted to break a few of Ace's bones after getting confirmation from him that Delores hadn't been exaggerating earlier.

And yet—she liked him too much to act on those thoughts.
