Dive into a world of magic and crime lords to find love!
■■Synopsis■■
You’ve been running a cafe as a barista for a few years now. Your parents are long since deceased and your younger brother went missing a few years back. As a side gig, you also help sweep the magical ash that falls as “Gray Rain” in your world – remnants of magic from the other side, the Illusory Realm. Weak magi don’t use their magic efficiently, creating a byproduct that pollutes the Mundane World. The No-Contact Treaty prevents these two worlds from interacting and that’s fine by you. The Illusory Realm is run by magi…and everyone knows magi are a lawless bunch.
One day, two attractive young men visit your cafe. After overhearing their conversation, you figure out that they might just be from the IR! Worse, you have a suspicion that they just might be able to help you find your missing brother. On an impulse, you try to follow them back to their own world…and suddenly you realize the whole situation is much bigger than just finding your brother. Can you help stop the fanatical group Chimera? Is your brother even alive? And you may just find yourself falling for one of the sexy men of the Kuhn Family, one of the most power crime families of the IR…
■■Characters■■
・Zev
Easily the most charismatic of the bunch and a natural-born leader, Zev runs the show. He keeps Ezekiel in line with ease and depends on Nolan to fill in the finer details of an operation. Like you, he’s searching for someone – his brother’s murderer. He’s not afraid to throw himself under the bus for the people he cares about…could that be you? While Zev can manipulate water, his preferred method is to just freeze his enemies. There’s also a secret behind that eye patch…
・Ezekiel
Ezekiel would be cute…if he’d just keep his mouth shut. He’s sullen, irritable, and clearly hates you from the get-go. Even though he’d follow Zev to the grave, he still drives Nolan insane with his abrasive attitude and casual approach to his duties. His past is complicated and you get the feeling that certain topics are a sore subject. Can you go toe-to-toe with his snark? Ezekiel can manipulate fire…and is easily one of the most powerful pyromagi.
・Nolan
Kind, thoughtful, and meticulous are words Zev might use to describe Nolan. Ezekiel might say he’s overly critical or micromanaging. Regardless of what his family members think, he’s nothing but friendly and gracious to you. Despite his pleasant nature, he hates Chimera with a shocking vehemence for reasons unknown to you and he seems to have a complex of sorts…will you help him unravel it? He can throw lightning and temporarily nullify the magic of others.
