Sixteenth Basket of Mantaos

Imagine being forced to live, after death, as incorporeal bodies trapped in a vast space of nothingness for thousands of years, with nothing to do but exchanging past memories with other cohabitants (read: weirdos).  Everybody wanted out, but there was no way to leave the Void... 
Until one day, a young man was finally summoned, as a powerful but reluctant mentor, by a bubbly and motivated but completely naive young girl. Baiyi, finally out of the Void, was the only one who could save all of the other 32 souls from their prison and his summoner might just be The Key to their freedom.
However, Baiyi had to use the techniques and abilities the other souls had taught him throughout the years, and together with his own extensive knowledge of anime and game tropes from his shady and dangerous past as an otaku, to face the biggest challenge of them all: training the clumsy young girl he was forced to partner up with… into a competent sorcerer!

Unlike her Lulu, who was visibly excited by the previous encounter, Mia remained silent, and her eyes had been reduced to arcs. Her gaze was vacant as though she was lost in her thoughts.

When Lulu sensed the unrest behind Mia's calm expression, she gently nudged Mia's cheeks with her own. "Hey, what's the matter?"

"It's nothing," Mia replied, setting aside her thoughts. "I was… I just get a little upset whenever I remember my Dad's face."
