What is Tempal ~Item no Chikara~ about?
The anime is based on a webtoon series titled Overgeared, which is in turn based on a web novel of the same name by Park Saenal. Lee Dong-Wook writes the webtoon while Team Argo illustrates it.
Yen Press publishes the webtoon in English under the Ize Press label, and describes the story as:
Youngwoo Shin is a deadbeat in real life, working odd jobs to barely pay off his loans. Even his family has written him off as a hopeless video game addict. But when he logs in to the massively popular VR game Satisfy, Youngwoo becomes Grid the Warrior…who is also painfully mediocre. Everything changes when he stumbles across a tome containing the lost knowledge of a legendary blacksmith. The catch is, using it resets all his levels! In order to survive after being forced back to square one, Grid will need to hone his skills and gather reliable allies…or not! Who needs all that when you're decked out in god-tier items?!
