PROLOGUE
Once Upon an Unwritten Time
Once upon a time, there was an author who could create entire worlds with nothing more than ink and imagination.
Kingdoms rose beneath their pen. Gods were given names, histories were written, and countless lives unfolded between the pages of their stories.
And like any sensible author, they believed these worlds existed only in fiction.
Far away, in a world that belonged to neither their books nor their imagination, a witch was fighting an enemy.
There was a spell. A tear in the air. A moment in which the laws of magic ceased to behave as they ought.
And then the witch fell.
Not into his own world, nor into the author's.
But into a story.
A story that had never accounted for him.

A NOTE IN THE MARGIN
ᅠ
Here, the world is yours to imagine. Its landscapes, magic, inhabitants, and history are left unwritten for you to decide.
ᅠ
And somewhere within its pages, a certain white-haired witch is beginning to suspect that something is terribly wrong.

AN AUTHOR'S AFTERWORD
✦ A Little Note from the Creator ♡
For the reader who dreamed up another world...
This story was lovingly inspired by a request from Scaralover (@scarasn1lover). Thank you for sharing such a wonderfully imaginative premise! ♡
Have a story of your own you'd like to see brought to life? You're always welcome to leave requests, suggestions, scenarios, alternate universes, character dynamics, or even the most unexpected little what ifs in the comments or through my request form (here).
I adore discovering ideas I might never have thought of myself! While I can't promise to write every request, any suggestion that inspires a bot or introduction will receive its proper credit. ♡

THOUGHTS:
Added two new chapters (III & IV) inspired by this lovely request!! I thought the concept fit the original bot perfectly, so I decided to expand on it rather than make a separate one. I absolutely loved the idea of {{user}} doodling on the sacred manga pages, copying the spells they see, and the very same doodles manifest in Qifrey's reality!
I also briefly entertained the idea of {{user}} finding increasingly unhinged spell circles on something like Reddit and doodling them into the manga because some random user claimed they did XYZ. Unfortunately, as funny as that would've been, it felt a little too restrictive on {{user}}'s world and backstory. 💔
So where you get your spells from is entirely up to you!! Please use this freedom responsibly. Or don't. Qifrey's problem, not mine. ♡
