Street magicians perform fake miracles every day. Evel needs a real one. Frail, hungry, and on the run, his only chance at a better life is to enlist. He's got one advantage: Eth. An invisible hand that perfectly obeys his will, bound by a single rule: it will not harm. Even indirectly. Evel is thrown into a deadly recruitment trial, where fighters clash for a place in the military's ranks, and a chance at real power. He needs to overcome nobles with decades of training and commoners as desperate as himself armed with a pacifist's ability. They expect a clash of titans; he will give them a masterclass in deception. And nobody is watching the hand. What to expect: ♠Bluffing, scheming, improvisation ♦ Evolving abilities and progression ♣ Magic tricks, circus acts, P R E S E N T A T I O N ♥ Evel will try his best, despite how terrible his circumstances Schedule: MTTF Patreon is at 30+ chapters ahead Fan art and further discussions in the discord.
