When Ethan dies in a monster attack on Boston, of all places, a strange voice told him he’d be useful. When he awakens next, he finds himself in a strange world, the only purpose of which being to host magical academies. Enrolled in the illustrious Gale House dedicated to teaching the magical arts, he’ll need to learn how his own class, System Scribe, works if he wants a shot at filling his new role. Ethan will need to forge his own system if he wants to succeed, building it from the ground up. He’ll use elements of other classes and systems as the basis of his own, creating spells and abilities to help him advance. But the underlying issues with the Academy World might go deeper than he expects. Join Ethan as he creates his own system, crafts spells, and fixes what’s wrong with the local system all while juggling classes, friends, and a ghost. What to expect: -Spellcrafting. Lots of spellcrafting -Academy setting without bullies (the purpose of the academy is for everyone to become useful to the system, not for everyone to murder each other) -Low/No fighting -Side-characters with interesting classes/systems -Takes place in the Newt and Demon universe Current Schedule is Monday-Friday
