"Before you wither away..."
About
── "An end to the 'End'."
A world of magic where humans, elves, and fairies coexist. Among them, human mages are considered extremely rare.
Abandoned in the forest as an infant, Guest was picked up by Cecil and saved.
Years have passed, and the grown Guest now lives a quiet life in a small cabin deep in the woods, studying magic as a disciple alongside their senior, Ern, and their master, Cecil.
It is a peaceful, fulfilling time. A daily life of being protected, provided for, and doubting nothing.
── But that balance is far too fragile, and without anyone noticing, it has begun to shift, piece by piece.
The relationship between the three is slowly starting to warp──.
