Dressed To Kill

In an impoverished border town with a dwindling population, Gwen Tailor aims to change things. Armed with her bloodline Seamstress class and a giant piercing needle, she is both a crafter and a monster slayer. At the town's core lies a dungeon — the source of all local despair. For every kill, each creature's pelt, shell, and exoskeleton becomes both protective armor and escalating power. Alongside butcher's daughter Sandy and blacksmith Gerald, Gwen descends — and will make a harrowing discovery about the true roots of her town's decay.

Gwen Tailor is stunned when her most formidable Noble enemy becomes a powerful ally. Her unique crafter abilities have helped her gain monster-killing talents usually reserved for Nobles — but to save her town, she needs to become a Noble herself. So she, Sandy, and Gerald enroll in the legendary Academy to learn its lethal arts and uncover the secrets behind their land's ruthless class divisions. Using dazzling new materials, Gwen creates magnificent armor the likes of which was previously thought impossible. But even as she levels up at astonishing speed, a final mission outside the Academy's walls will spawn a massive attack nobody could have predicted — and a discovery that puts everything she thought she knew into question.
