After a massive earthquake ripped the west coast of North America into a new archipelago, an easily accessible form of energy was discovered to be pervading the atmosphere from the rubble. After a surprisingly quick global recovery, reports of demons tearing through reality and being fought off by people wielding strange weapons and magic surfaced worldwide. Nicknamed Magical Girls and Magical Guys- or just MGs- these figures quickly became the new center of society’s attention and pushed the world into a new age of uneasy, but mostly complete, peace.
If you ignore the demons.
In stark contrast to the traditional image of an MG being selfless, caring, and trustworthy heroes, Silvia feels much more at home committing petty theft and getting into places she really shouldn’t be- out of simple boredom and an opportunistic personality. This roguish streak makes it all the more surprising when a Semiseelie offers to form a contract with her so she can become a Magical Girl- just after she got back from her most recent ‘excursion.’ And just before demons are set to open a Breach practically on top of her head.
Now living the dream of almost everyone but herself, Silvia is forced to navigate many of the things she hates: attention, expectations, and the nagging feeling that something is trying to kill her.
Oh yeah, and demons. Can’t forget about those.

What to expect:
•Chapters ~1,500 words in length every Sunday and whenever else I get around to it.
•A somewhat slow pace, but with many shenanigans.
•A very- and I mean very- slight touch of LitRPG / system stuff.
•Not too much filler. I hope.
•And no promises; my writing process is an enigma to even me sometimes.

I hope you give the story a chance and find something to enjoy.

Alright I am so very down with this story. Well written, no major repeated grammar issues, and an MC who is not terrified of actually utilizing their options and is actually willing to augment themselves to have better chances of not winding up dead. I always get annoyed at the trope of these stories where the MC is super squeamish about improving themselves for some reason, so YAY!
