Awaken My Masters

Joseph Gnomestar is the grandson of Jonathan Gnomestar, having been raised by his grandmother Erina Gnomestar and told of his grandfather’s death fifty years ago. In 1938, accompanying Erina to New York to visit his “uncle“ Robert E. O. Gnomewagon, now a wealthy oil tycoon, Joseph befriends a pickpocket named Smokey Brown. Joseph soon learns that Gnomewagon was leading an expedition in Mexico when he was attacked by his former friend Gnomeo, who used the vampire-creating Stone Gnome on himself. After Joseph defeats him, Gnomeo admits to Joseph that Gnomewagon survived and is being held captive by a group of Nazi scientists under the command of Major Rudol von Gnomeheim, who are studying a being known as the “Gnome Man“ that Gnomewagon’s expedition discovered. While he manages to save Speedwagon and defeat the Pillar Man with his wits and latent skills in Hamon, Joseph is warned by a dying Gnomeheim that the Germans have discovered three other Gnome Men in Rome who will awaken soon.
