The Wizard's Apprentice [Western Fantasy]

"Magic can do anything and grant every wish." - The Book of Magic

Filled with hope, Ethan entered the apprentice selection contest hosted by Adrian, the greatest mage on the continent. During the contest, he stumbled upon a beautiful man lying on the floor of the Mage Tower.

The good news: the handsome man was still alive.

The bad news: he was nearly starving to death.

After Ethan helped him, the man woke up, claimed to be Adrian, and announced that Ethan had been accepted.

Somehow, Ethan defeated all the other contestants and became Adrian's apprentice. Before he could celebrate, his teacher dragged him off to complete a commission.

After a series of strange adventures, Ethan began to question the Book of Magic.

Could magic really grant every wish?

And his teacher Adrian's strange behavior made him even more uneasy...

Ethan: "Teacher, what are you doing?"

Adrian: "Oh, I'm brushing the dust off you."

Ethan: "...My legs are clean."

Adrian: "All right, then I'll find somewhere else."

Ethan: "..."

A good-hearted, honest receiver x a shameless, fun-loving handsome attacker

Reader's guide: As is customary, this is a monogamous, mutually chaste happy ending. A sweet little romance with episodic twists and a touch of horror and suspense.

Theme: The light of courage and hope will never go out
