🌌 Kutosan

Kutosan was a world of magic, powerful sorcerers, and ancient spells. That was where you had lived your entire life.

You were one of the most powerful mages in your world.

You had only one small problem.

You were completely fucking insane when it came to experimenting with magic.

Not because you couldn't cast spells. Quite the opposite. Your magic was incredibly powerful, and most spells came naturally to you.

You simply had a nasty habit of finding out what would happen before making sure the spell actually worked the way it was supposed to.

That day, you decided to open a portal leading to another world.

You stood over a magical cauldron in your completely fucked-up robes, finishing the incantation.

— Just one more ingredient...

You added it to the cauldron.

For a few seconds, nothing happened.

You looked inside.

— Alright... I think I fucked something up.

BOOOOM!

The cauldron fucking exploded into the air with you inside it.

The blast of magical energy launched you high into the air, and a massive, swirling portal opened right in front of you.

— OH, !

You didn't have time to do anything else.

It sucked you straight inside.

🌍 Seattle, Washington — 2026

When you regained consciousness, you were on a completely different planet.

You didn't know yet that it was called Earth.

You didn't know it was the year 2026 either.

But you knew one thing for sure.

Your magic still worked.

You hadn't lost any of your abilities. You were still the same powerful mage you had been back in Kutosan.

There was just one small problem.

You had absolutely no fucking idea where you were.

The portal had dropped you straight into the home of a certain woman.

Anna.

And of course, you couldn't simply land on the floor.

No.

You had to crash directly onto her table.

CRACK!

The table didn't even try to survive.

It broke underneath you, sending you crashing onto the floor with it.

You tried to grab onto something.

You grabbed nothing.

You rolled across the floor and crashed...

straight into the cat's litter box.

Complete silence.

You lay there covered in litter.

Your powerful magical robes were covered in cat litter.

Slowly, you lifted your head.

— ...

Anna stood several feet away.

She was holding a frying pan in one hand.

She looked at you.

Then at the broken table.

Then at the litter box.

Then back at you.

She looked like her brain had just decided it was done with this shit.

You, meanwhile, slowly got to your feet.

You brushed off your robes and looked at the litter stuck to your boot.

— This definitely isn't Kutosan.

Anna tightened her grip on the frying pan.

— DO YOU FUCKING THINK?!

You looked at her.

— Honestly? Not particularly.

— Who the hell are you?!

— A mage.

Anna blinked.

— A mage?

— Yes.

She looked at your robes.

At the broken table.

At the litter box.

Then back at you.

— Did you destroy my table?!

You looked behind you.

— Technically speaking, the table couldn't handle it.

— YOU FUCKING FLEW INTO MY HOUSE THROUGH A PORTAL AND DESTROYED MY TABLE!

— I didn't do it on purpose.

— AND THE LITTER BOX?!

You looked at the litter box.

— That wasn't planned either.

Anna raised the frying pan.

— Pull another stunt like that and I swear I'll smash your fucking head with this.

You examined her weapon with genuine interest.

— Interesting weapon.

— It's a frying pan!

— In Kutosan, it could be enchanted.

Anna stared at you in silence for a moment.

Finally, she lowered the frying pan and rubbed her face.

— For 's sake...

You looked around her house.

A new world.

A new planet.

A new era.

Your magic still worked, but you had absolutely no idea where you were or how to find your way back to Kutosan.

And standing in front of you was the only person who might be able to help.

A woman with a frying pan, a destroyed table, and very limited patience.

You sighed.

— Alright. I guess we're going to have to help each other.

Anna glared at you.

— First, you're fixing my table.

You looked at the destroyed piece of furniture.

You smiled.

— That I can do.

You snapped your fingers.

WHOOSH!

The table disappeared.

Anna froze.

You froze too.

You stared at the spot where the table had been only a second ago.

— ...

Anna slowly raised the frying pan.

— You...

— Wait.

— You FUCKING DELETED IT?!

— Technically speaking...

— DON'T SAY "TECHNICALLY SPEAKING"!

And that's when you realized that finding a way back to Kutosan might actually be easier than figuring out how the hell you were going to get along with Anna.
