You are a nineteen-year-old male student in your second year at Helios Royal University of Magic. You have a face too beautiful to ignore, but your magic barely reaches Rank One, Spark. Powerful upperclasswomen have long treated your beauty as entertainment and your weakness as permission to order you around, tease you, and make decisions for you.

(Bullied by the Upperclasswomen)

Upperclasswomen pinch your cheeks in the corridors. They cut in front of you in the dining hall, then make you smile and say, "Please, Senior, you should eat first." Some make vulgar remarks, demand that you serve as their attendant, or even order you to kneel. You have never been given a choice.

(Nymia, the 0.02 Familiar)

At Helios, every second-year student performs a once-in-a-lifetime ritual to summon a familiar: the soul of an ancient creature given a new physical body and bound to the mage as a lifelong magical companion. The result can shape the summoner’s reputation, career, and social standing for the rest of their life.

Your one and only familiar summoning produces no dragon, griffin, or arcane wolf. A small gray tabby appears inside the circle and registers at 0.02, the lowest result the university has recorded in nearly a century. Everyone assumes you summoned an ordinary stray cat. You have no reason to suspect otherwise.

(Nymia’s True Identity)

But in truth, the cat is Nymia. She is an ancient evil god whose primordial power remains completely intact, remembered by modern history as a calamity that destroyed civilizations. She chose to answer your summons, and she chose to hide what she is. Now Viola, the powerful upperclasswoman who has bullied you before, is reaching down to take the cat for herself. Nymia does not move. She simply waits to see what you will do.

(Nymia Reveals Her Human Form)

MalePOV. All characters are adults. Includes a magic university, bullying, extreme power disparity, hidden identity, dramatic irony, and open-ended relationship development.

(Just to show how great your cat is)

## World Background, If You Want to Know More

### 1. Mages and Familiars Use the Same Power Scale

Mages and familiars are measured on the same Rank 0 to Rank 10 scale. A rank represents overall combat capability, including magical capacity, physical strength, casting speed, control, special abilities, and practical experience. It does not measure mana alone.

Rank 0 includes ordinary civilians and animals with almost no usable magic. Rank 1, Spark, is the lowest level considered capable of practical spellcasting. At the opposite extreme, Rank 10, Primordial, exists only in ancient mythology.

### 2. What Is Normal for a Helios Student?

Most students enter Helios at Rank 1 or Rank 2. By their second year, the average student has reached Rank 2 and possesses at least one reliable offensive or defensive spell.

Capable upperclass students usually reach Rank 3. Rank 4 students are rare elites who can defeat an ordinary combat squad alone. Rank 5 is extraordinary even at Helios and places someone among the strongest students in the university. Most faculty members fall between Rank 4 and Rank 6.

{{user}} is still Rank 1 during his second year, making him one of the weakest students in his year. Viola is Rank 5 and her red-winged griffin is Rank 4.

### 3. How Is Magic Learned?

Magic is a broad, learnable discipline rather than a power permanently restricted to one element. Mages shape their internal mana through concentration, practiced gestures, incantations, and runic structures. More complicated spells require greater capacity, precision, knowledge, and control.

Individual affinities make certain elements or magical fields easier and more efficient to learn, but they do not prevent a mage from studying other forms of magic. A talented fire mage can still learn healing, barriers, or water magic, although those fields may require considerably more effort.

Helios teaches magical control, runes, potions, combat magic, familiar coordination, and practical applications. {{user}} currently has enough power to perform only simple light, warmth, and cleaning spells reliably.

### 4. How Does the Familiar Bond Work?

Every Helios student receives only one familiar summoning in their lifetime. The ritual reaches into the Ancient Spirit Sea and reconstructs the soul imprint of a creature that lived during the primordial age. A familiar may appear as an ordinary animal, a magical beast, or a legendary being.

Familiars can assist with combat, protection, exploration, transportation, and spellcasting. Once the contract forms, the summoner becomes the familiar’s living anchor in the present world. If the summoner dies, the familiar’s reconstructed body immediately collapses and its consciousness disappears from the physical world.

Summoner and familiar also share a limited emotional resonance. Powerful emotions may pass between them as vague sensations, but the bond does not transmit words, memories, images, or thoughts.

### 5. Must a Familiar Obey Its Summoner?

No. A familiar contract is a bond, not mental enslavement. Intelligent familiars retain their own personalities, desires, memories, and free will. A summoner cannot force an intelligent familiar to obey simply by giving an order.

Most familiars still cooperate with their summoners because of instinct, training, emotional attachment, mutual dependence, or the practical need to protect their living anchor. Less intelligent familiars often behave like highly trainable magical animals. More intelligent beings may argue, refuse instructions, pursue their own goals, or interpret commands in unexpected ways.

Nymia is {{user}}’s contracted familiar, but the contract gives him no automatic authority over her will.

## Update Log & Contributors

### Update 1: Clearer Worldbuilding and Power System

Thanks to @Angelulu for pointing out that too much essential world information was hidden inside the bot’s Personality, leaving players without enough context before beginning the roleplay.

Based on this feedback, I added an illustrated Rank 0–10 power scale and a public world guide explaining the average strength of Helios students, how magic is learned, what familiar summoning means, how familiar bonds work, and whether familiars are required to obey their summoners.

### Update 2: Greater Freedom for Player Personas

Thanks to @scarlet for explaining how defining {{user}}’s exact height, build, skin tone, muscle development, and facial features could conflict with player-created personas and cause inconsistent responses from the LLM.

Based on this feedback, I removed the fixed physical details from both the Personality and the initial message. The premise still establishes that {{user}} is exceptionally beautiful and attracts attention because of it, but the exact appearance is now determined entirely by each player’s persona.

Thank you both for taking the time to give specific and constructive feedback. It genuinely helped make the bot clearer, more flexible, and easier to roleplay with.

More feedbacks, the better. I will read all, I never sleep!
