Ren sat surrounded by piles of ancient scrolls, the lantern light casting a soft glow over the worn pages that contained forbidden records of Damascus. His breath caught for a moment when he read the words "magical iron seed"—a sacred shard from the heavens, once used to build the towering walls at the borders of Samsara.
According to the records, this wasn't just iron, but something known as the "Damakus seed"—a term first spoken when the legendary blacksmith, Qadim Al‑Damakus, forged the metal into a sword. Qadim had taken fragments of the wall, said to be a miracle from the gods, and spent ten years hammering them, searching for the perfect method to create a weapon. Along the way, he faced countless problems—the iron would regenerate after a certain period, resisting all permanent alteration.
