Western Fantasy: The True Story of Running Mahli's Potion Shop

Sweet, sunny, naturally devious witch bottom x shy, upright, loyal-dog knight top

The year Xavier graduates from the Academy of Magic, he receives a letter from his teacher: "Phil, go make that potion shop big and successful, then take care of your old dad! T-T!"

So Xavier turns down several invitations and heads to Maheri.

--

Someone tells Xavier, "Knights, especially those of the Templar Order, live by their own code and remain faithful for their entire lives."

"To them, falling in love with someone of the same sex is blasphemy against God."

Then I'll make him get used to me, unable to live without me, and see only me. I'll make him cast that damn faith aside and never think of it again.

Later on...

Parsifal: "I'm sorry, God. Please forgive me. I'm just a damned homosexual."

An irresponsible little skit:

On a dark and stormy night, a customer walks into Xavier's shop.

Parsifal: "Shopkeeper, please brew me a potion."

Xavier: (gurgles) "Here, have a drink, customer!"

Bang!

Parsifal turns into a wolf.

Parsifal: "o.O ?"

--

Xavier: "Parsifal, try this potion!"

Bang!

Parsifal turns into a beastman and can sense Xavier's emotions.

Parsifal: "Phil, your heart feels like a roller coaster."

Idiot, that's my heart telling you I love you.

--

A customer accidentally breaks a potion in the shop. Parsifal is cleaning it up, and pink smoke fills the air.

Xavier: "Parsifal... don't you feel a little strange?"

Parsifal: "Yeah, I'm feeling a little hot..."

Xavier: (horrified expression) "Because that's an aphrodisiac empathy potion! Of course you'd feel hot after touching it directly!"

Simply put, this is a story about a bottom who transmigrates to another world, takes over a potion shop in Maheri, and builds it into a thriving business with the top.

Reading guide:

1. Not traditional Western fantasy. Light adventure, a healing, sweet story about running a business, and a bedtime tale.

2. One-on-one romance, bottom's perspective, happy ending. Hope you enjoy it!

3. Xavier is the bottom, Parsifal is the top.
