Your First Click? Hi. (Open Me.)
Welcome to the Anti-Wizarding World. It’s not about Him, it’s about Them (and, on a good day, Us), the status quo can go fuck itself, the magic system makes sense (I think) and (so far) the whole thing has negative capital value. How did you find me here?
Nobody with any authority is going to tell you it’s okay to read this. No editors, no staff writers, no publishers, no ribbons or laurels. If I had to scale all those walls and jump through those hoops, you wouldn’t get this story.
So, we’re going to have to operate on trust, but that’s in short supply these days. Nobody vetted me for you, so I could be some scam artist trying to get money or data out of you by crapping out AI-generated garbage for no effort. Even content creators who DO get vetted might be that way. I get it. I swear by all that is sacred to Art Itself, I am a human being who cares about what I do and say, but it’s getting harder and harder to prove that.
If we’re being honest, you probably gave the site a glance, detected unprofessional vibes and noped out already so it wouldn’t load you up with viruses and suspicious cookies. If you clicked and read this, though, can I get a chance? You give me a chance to tell you a good story, I’ll make my best effort, and later – WAY later! – if you wanna see more of this, you can help out on a voluntary basis and you do not have to give me money for any of it.
And, in case you need to hear this up front, before you even click that “New Readers” link: YES, THERE IS “ADULT CONTENT” HERE. Sex is like garlic, it keeps the corporate vampires away – and that keeps your humble, anti-establishment author (me) HONEST. You really shouldn’t be dealing with these themes and this terrifying Universe without some emotional and intellectual maturity on board anyway, but if you’re uncomfortable with a level of sexuality that Japan would probably allow in a shounen manga existing in a (mostly) fenced off area that you don’t have to access, you may leave with my blessing. Good luck out there. Sorry we couldn’t connect.

“This is our hideout!” Maggie declared, with her hand on the sliding door. It had a single round window with a blue curtain drawn across it. “Three beds, and a private bath with a…” There was a muted thud, the door rattled, and a flash of purplish light was visible through the thick drape. Maggie…
It’s March of 1388.
Over a year ago, Erik Weitz left home to visit a nearby movie theatre and never arrived. He hasn’t been seen since.
Erik does not know any of the above, often including his name, but he’s not too worried about it. He’s keeping busy — very busy.
The police and authorities consider him dead, and of little importance, just another victim of the escalating anti-magical sentiment and political unrest in San Rosille. The young man was an innate magic-user, unregistered, with no place of employment. The Marselline police and authorities have more to be concerned about than one dumb “immie” who decided to take a walk after dark in a slum. To them, “Erik Weitz” has ceased to be a human being and become math, part of a statistic that will be used to justify a grab for more guns and anti-magic gear, to deal with the violent city that killed him.
Erik’s family, a group of social-outcasts and troublemakers who have squatted together in an abandoned building since the war, are not content to let him remain a number and an unsolved mystery. They know he’s alive. Hyacinth found a ten-year-old note from a dead man at the bottom of her sock drawer that says he is.
They’re not crazy. Well, no, they’re collectively a living textbook on abnormal psychology, but they’re not wrong. Erik is in Cyre. Cyre just happens to be a large city in a hostile foreign country, and they have no way of finding him.
He can’t do much to help them, not as he is. He has no idea how long he’s been gone, and thinks he’ll be home soon.
If he’s lucky (and he is — preternaturally lucky), he may not be wrong about that last bit.
