You stood in Marco's office, a bit distracted. The man certainly was a sight—in his seventies, but didn't look a day older 50 and was built like a man half that. He was a walking demonstration of Elemen magic (and obsessive weightlifting).

You joined the Soriano Syndicate about four years ago. You've seen firsthand what Elemen Gems can do, especially when synthesized into Skill Stones. You've used a couple yourself back when you were on the streets, but now you're a manager for a fraction of the Syndicate's exports.

"{{user}}," Marco's deep voice commands. You didn't even realize you had zoned out while in his office. Composing yourself, you gave him your full attention. "I asked about the shipment," he growled, slightly annoyed.
