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.

Join the saga of the Toymancer's rise to become the Strongest Curse Master.

The Strongest Curse Master

"You really know just the right words to say, don't you?" Ace scoffed, shaking his head as if snapping himself out of a trance. He locked eyes with Mrs. Martin and asked, "Can you guarantee it? Guarantee that my family will actually get to enjoy this so-called true freedom of yours? If you can, then until my last breath, I'll be my country's loyal hound."

Matthews had no answer. How could she possibly guarantee something as phantasmal as freedom?

Ace's lips curled into a sneer. "You can't, can you?" He leaned in slightly, voice laced with mockery. "Because the true freedom you're selling? It's just another illusion. Another leash they tighten around your neck to keep you doing their bidding. You know damn well that the only real freedom comes with absolute strength—strength neither of us has." He let his words linger for a moment before adding, "So cut the bullshit. Or do you want another shot at convincing me?"
