Ash is your typical high schooler who gets to class just as the bell rings, who spends his time earnestly learning…just between quick naps, and will do everything to defend those he loves. He shares his time with Lulu, Ash's mysterious childhood friend, who is nothing short of the word beautiful, personified with her snow-white hair and emerald green eyes. Her only oddity...no one seems to look at her but Ash.

Suddenly, their life of peace gets uprooted. A girl with heterochromia eyes abruptly teleports them into another world--one where the fantasy books Lulu loves to read are now her and Ash's reality. 

They have to decide: Is their blooming relationship towards each other and this new world worth clinging on to if it means leaving behind everything? Or will they go back to how things were in their dull reality where Lulu is an oddity once more?

The Wizard's Keeper

My relaxation session lasted for a total of ten seconds. Raphael's men were coming to see what all the noise was, and I wasn't in any shape to fight them. I ran to Rose, standing under her, and told her to jump. 


As any rational person should, she was hesitant but ultimately jumped. Catching her, I ran in the opposite direction from the sound of Raphael's men. Luck was finally on our side as the teleportation crystal managed to get us to the surface level, and with a bit more luck, the first door I broke through led us outside.


I could hear Raphael's men right behind us, so quickly surveying the land, I ran into the woods from what looked like an abandoned church where we were imprisoned. With no one outside or patrolling in the forest, I could quickly shake most of them off our tails, popping out of the woods to find the city's walls towering over us. 


"Um, Ash, can you put me down?" Rose said, shifting my focus to her.
