“Your home doesn’t exist. Nowhere in this world, at least.” Nine years ago, an eleven-year-old boy found himself in a forest filled with creatures that shouldn’t exist, nearly bleeding out until a man in a coat too clean for the mud offered him a choice: become his disciple, or die in the dirt. Sein chose the former. Now, fed nine years of his teacher’s curriculum in efficiency, violence, and a bare minimum of mercy, Sein found himself out of the wilderness and into a city skyline. Armed with a pocket watch, a smile deadly enough to make children cry, and a single impossible goal: finding a way back to Earth. First, however, he needs a job. The Bureau of Protection investigates the things police reports don’t have a category for: staircases that grow extra steps, men who receive phone calls from themselves, and neighbors who stopped existing.  The pay is good, and the benefits include resurrection. More importantly, the Bureau may contain the first real clues to Earth, if Sein can survive long enough to earn access. But magic is merely the beginning. Beyond spells lie hostile Territories connected to alien Planes, each governed by its corresponding laws. Those who conquer them become Seroths, claiming powers that operate through conditions stranger than any magic. Every conquered Territory grants a Law-Core, and every Law-Core leaves a Tribulation behind. As Sein delves through the impossible, every answer brings him crawling closer to home, but every new power brings him closer to becoming something that may no longer belong there. What to expect: - Weak to Strong: Power earned through risk, strategy, and sacrifice. - Mystery & Eldritch Horror: A world riddled with secrets, hostile anomalies, and terrors beyond comprehension. - Unique Power System: Territories, Law-Cores, and abilities beyond magic. - Emotional character arcs centered on memories, identity, and what it means to remain human. - Strategic Combat - No Harem This story was inspired by a multitude of works, including Lord of the Mysteries, A Regressor’s Tale of Cultivation, Umineko When They Cry, and SCP Foundation.
