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.

Dame Wasp: Master, things turned out just as you predicted. The unattached mind-reading apparatus helped break the ice and get things started.


Emi: Brilliant, Master! My sister would love to have a strategic shinobi like you in her private army.


Ace: It was only possible thanks to DD and Specwork's precise profiling of Emmitt Ewell. Great job, you two.


Ace: The combination of the mind-reading apparatus and the emotion-reading ability is incredible. DD, team up with Speclimes to perfect this combo. Considering our growing list of enemies, we might need it more often than we would like.


Specwork: Specroll means "yes" in hexadecimal sequence. It still hasn't fully adjusted to the new world.


Ace: Dame Wasp, don't forget to destroy the USB drive.
