Eileen Caldwell had always been the epitome of a laid-back individual. From her early years to her teens, her passion for leisure rivaled that of any professional napper. School was merely a necessary inconvenience, and she found herself comfortably situated at the bottom of her class hierarchy, much to the chagrin of her teachers and the bemusement of her peers.

However, all of this changed on her 18th birthday signaling her transition into adulthood, a mysterious system was activated, one that would upend her world of sloth and slumber. Gone were the days of lounging around without consequence; instead, Eileen found herself thrust into a destiny she could scarcely have imagined.

This newly activated system, with its stern mandate against idleness, revealed to Eileen her true potential: she was destined to become one of the most formidable mages the world had ever seen. No longer could she while away the hours in blissful ignorance; instead, she was called upon to harness her latent magical abilities and rise to the challenge that lay before her.

Become a top mage at all costs

After the end of classes, I was gathering my things, ready to head back to my dorm, when Thalira approached me. She was always so distant and cold, so her sudden interest was surprising.

"Eileen," she called out, her voice as indifferent as ever. "Why weren't you here yesterday?"

I blinked, taken aback by her directness. "I was sick," I replied, my voice hesitant.

Thalira stared at me for a moment, her expression unreadable. "Come to my house. My mom is a nurse."

I shook my head quickly. "No, really, I feel much better now. There's no need—"

Before I could finish my sentence, Thalira reached out and took my hand. Her grip was firm, and despite my protests, she began leading me away.

"Hey, wait! I said I'm fine!" I exclaimed, trying to pull back. But Thalira's grip was like iron, and I was too weak to resist. "Seriously, Thalira, I appreciate it, but—"
