About


The hero gets the glory. You do the inventory.


You are not the chosen one. You are not the brave warrior. You are the rookie left behind to deal with the mess after the heroes are done being heroic.


Welcome to the Guild Stockroom.


Pick up scattered books, sort them onto shelves, earn Ink, upgrade books into higher tiers, and keep the shelves stocked before the heroes come back to claim what they need. They will not ask. They will not apologize.


Every few minutes, heroes claim the books they need from the shelves. Claimed books earn Favor based on their tier, and replacement books are dumped back onto the floor for you to sort again.


Keep the stockroom running.
Keep the shelves full.
Try to be useful.


That is all, rookie.


— The High Guild of Heroes
