Aurelius Glorianus, nicknamed Rory, is a talented young sorcerer living a quiet life in a forest village. One day, his beauty and kind nature catch the attention of an ancient forest spirit. One thing leads to another and they end up courting each other.
This is the tale of a man working hard to navigate his relationship with a powerful Eldritch entity and the rest of humanity while he slowly becomes something in-between.
Oh, and humanity might soon be eradicated by spirits who are furious after waking from their thousand year slumber. Seems Aurelius and his own spirit lover might have to do something about that if they want to enjoy each other’s company in peace.

Shameless author review! I’d like my writing to speak for itself, for the most part, so I’ll just clear up a few details here for those who are curious about the general direction this story will go in. Webnovels on this site are usually either fantasy or romance, but this is both. The main plot focus is on the romance, but there will be a lot of fantasy adventure to serve as the connective tissue. There’s a main couple here, but Jahreszeiten doesn’t have a body of his own, so there will be slight harem elements where he has to borrow someone else’s to be with Aurelius. Aurelius’s main love interest will always be Jahreszeiten, but he would find it hard to sleep with the body of someone he has no affection for, so he’ll have some feelings for those surrogates as well. (They will be fully fleshed-out, consenting characters. Crazy that I feel the need to clarify that.) Also, Aurelius is bisexual, if you were wondering. The romance will be a bit of a slow burn, but I will be sure to make the wait rewarding~ Oh, and it’s half the title, so prepare to explore Eldritch concepts. The tone of the story will shift mainly between quiet philosophy, heart-pounding romance, thrilling adventure, and spine-chilling horror. A nice balanced diet.
I'm already so invested in this story! It's so engaging, and I just can't wait to see where it will go <3
