Chapter 12 – The Hero
That's Ben, I swear to God. It's definitely Ben. But how? Since when is he- Shaelith forced her racing thoughts to a halt. The grotesque absurdity of Ben Blomquist, standing in front of herlike some hunk from one of his Isekai animes,had to wait. Getting out of this mess had priority. Later. I can think later about why Big Ben Blumpkin now looks like the cover boy of a bodybuilding magazine. She made the decision in a split second. Whatever had brought him here, however this fucked-up situation…-

Chapter 10 – The Ambush
The first arrows struck them like a hailstorm full of sharp teeth. Shaelith reacted instinctively, activated her defensive glyphs and just the blink of an eye later purple energy danced across her skin and formed a shimmering barrier around them. "Shields up!" the guard captain yelled, but his order came a second too late. One of the arrows with the strange glowing crimson runes managed to penetrate the magical shield and a Shaeravyn guard staggered back while staring in disbelief at the shaft sticking…-

Chapter 9 – Wartime Diplomacy
The first thing Shaelith noticed when she woke up was the unfamiliar scent of pine resin and damp forest floor, and it was cold, at least relatively. Right. Sylvyn border fort. Not at home. Beside her, Ryzinre was breathing evenly, even though her face was half covered by her long silverish hair. The young woman from a minor house associated with House Vyrnara, who was one of the servants accompanying Shaelith, had proven to be a pleasant traveling companion. She was uncomplicated, loyal, good in…-

Chapter 7 – Birthday Eve
His mother's words still echoed in Jacob's head, three days after they had fallen. Grow up, Shaelith. Soon. Tomorrow was his eighteenth birthday, or rather, Shaelith's eighteenth birthday. The date was basically meaningless to the Shaeravyn, but eighteen years in this body, as Shaelith, was a strange milestone for him. It took some effort to push those thoughts aside to concentrate on more practical concerns. The birthday banquet tomorrow was largely a purely political event. Too his great relief…-

Chapter 6 – The Presentation
When they could see again, the purple fire fizzled out with a final, defiant hiss against Jacob's protective shield and the corridor smelled of the burnt mycelium of the smoldering walls. Amateur. Whoever wants me dead definitely paid too much for this lousy job. House retainer Haeliz, who had been a part of Shaelith's escort, lay in a spreading pool of blood. A crystal shard from one of the goblets the supposed servant carried had been caught in the blast and severed his carotid artery. A quick…-

Chapter 5 – Emergency Session
"No, Araphylle, the third line must curve inwards." Jacob corrected the shaky line of Mycelial ink on the girl's forearm with a stroke of his finger. "Think of it like a funnel that catches light." Eight little faces of Vyrnara girls stared at him, their purple foreheads in identical wrinkles of effort. The youngest was just six, the oldest ten. All of them were in various stages of 'I-want-to-be-a-powerful-sorceress' fever. They're so god damn cute. Jacob suppressed a smile. Just like me back then.…-

Chapter 4 – Certified Sorceress
"Groff'fuffbar nark buffra." Vyriz's pronunciation was so bad that it could probably even pass for deliberate poetry among goblins. "Groff'fu-ffar," Jacob corrected automatically, leaning his head against Vyriz's shoulder. The embroidered cushions they lounged on were pleasantly cool against his bare calf, one of the few parts of his body his simple wrap-around dress didn't cover. "More saliva on the second F. Imagine spitting out a particularly tough mushroom." "Charming." Vyriz grimaced. "And that…-

Chapter 2 – Mushroom Metropolis
What. The. Hell. His little body began to tremble, overwhelmed by impressions and feelings he couldn't categorize. Jacob tried to think clearly, but his brain refused to process the situation. Okay, let's summarize this. I just drowned. Then... nothing? And now I'm a toddler in the city of glowing mushrooms. With... purple mushroom... people? Sure. Perfectly normal. Everyday situation. Happens in the best families. He looked at his tiny hands. They were violet. Oh. The tall figure who had…-

Chapter 1 – Drowning
For eighteen years, it was Jacob Williams' ironclad principle to stay out of trouble. That principle died with him on a rainy April afternoon beneath the surface of cold-ass Lake Whothefuckcares. But of course, Jacob Williams didn't know that when he got up that morning. Strictly speaking, he didn't have any thoughts in his head, which was still foggy from sleep, but only felt a general disgust at the early ringing of the alarm clock as he pulled on his gray T-shirt. The shirt was the product of careful…-
