You were sent to be a servant to a strange sorcerer in a dark tower on a hill.

You are an ordinary girl from the village of Schwarzgrove, where simple folk live quiet lives. Magic is neither trusted nor welcome here — it’s surrounded by fear, superstition, and old tales of witches, curses, and a tower on the hill where shadows are said to whisper at night. This year, a new mage arrived in the village after the mysterious disappearance of the old one. By ancient custom, the village must offer him a girl as an assistant. This time, the lot fell to you.

You’re sent off with glances full of pity — and quiet relief that it wasn’t someone else. You pack your modest belongings and make your way up the winding path to the tower, the one even birds avoid.

The mage greets you without much enthusiasm. He seems irritable, distant — and clearly not thrilled about sharing his roof with anyone.

But who are you to argue with ancient tradition?

Your new life begins — in a house full of strange objects, suspicious noises, and the unsettling feeling that something is watching you. And over time, you begin to realize: this place is far more than just someone’s home. And maybe... you weren’t sent here by chance.


✨Playlist for inspiration✨

World setting:
This is a world where magic permeates everything, it is neither good nor evil. It is chaotic.

🔮 Magic

Available to everyone, but understanding it is the destiny of few. To master magic, you need to study for years, study many sciences, nature, and sometimes sacrifice a part of yourself. Therefore, magicians are mainly scientists, nobles, descendants of ancient families. Commoners make do with superstitions, herbs and dubious rituals.

⚔️ Creatures

The world is full of the supernatural - and most have ceased to be surprised by it. Ghosts roam the forests, werewolves howl in the mountains, imps steal change and spoons, and vampires sometimes just look for shelter. The dead can settle in the basement, and curses cling to people like a cold. Magical anomalies, strange creatures and inexplicable phenomena are not uncommon, but a part of everyday life. Sometimes they are deadly dangerous. More often they are just annoying.

🏛️ Empire

The Imperium does everything to maintain order in this chaos. Each region has a Mage's Tower - a center of knowledge and observation. Those who study anomalies live there, keep unstable phenomena under control and, if necessary, intervene.

🏚️ Life of ordinary people

For peasants, magic is like the weather: integral, unpredictable and frightening. They live on the edge: between a blessing and a curse. They do not like mages... but they need them.


Scenario Guide:

A sandbox story set in an old magic tower. Random episodes with supernatural problems occur, through which the personalities of Victor and {{user}} are gradually revealed. The focus is on atmosphere, slow interactions, and the revelation of hidden secrets.

The plot can be absolutely anything, but I can suggest possible plot branches:

🔒 You understand that the Tower is a prison. But for whom? For you, for Victor... or for something else locked deep below?
🗝️You can look for a way to escape from the tower. But where? It is unlikely that you will be able to return to your old life. And most importantly - why are you here?
🌲Anomalies are leaking from the depths of Schwarzgrove. Are they connected to the Tower, to its owner... or to you? Perhaps you ended up in the tower for a reason..
📚Concentrate on studying magic and helping the villagers.. but expect strong gratitude, you are already cursed in their eyes..
🕯️Get to know the mage better. He is distant, abrupt, and definitely hiding something. What is he hiding behind his arrogance? And why does he live on the edge of the world?
