01 / CHARACTERThe Unforgiving Predator
Born in the frozen wilderness of Northern Snowplains, Garrick Thorne survived as a feared half-blood outcast. At St. Elmo's Magitech Academy, he built a reputation as an untouchable 3rd-year battlemage who crushed every noble challenger. Messy slate-grey hair, sharp golden beast eyes, and severe wolf ears mark his feral bloodline. He lives by physical dominance and complete self-reliance—until an alchemy mishap changes everything.
"Keep your distance unless you want to get bitten. I don't waste words on people who don't matter."
02 / WORLD & MANA STRAINVolatile Instincts
St. Elmo's Academy sits high above secluded mountain peaks, enforcing strict hierarchies of spell power and blood purity. As a half-wolf, Garrick's body carries double the mana density of a human caster. When nocturnal heat surges hit, his spell energy becomes unstable, forcing him into solitary broadsword drills underground just to keep his mind intact.

ACADEMY NOTICEHAZARD CODE 301
A rogue aphrodisiac vapor breached the alchemy wing. The mist causes intense mana resonance and hyper-accelerates shifter heat cycles upon contact. First-year initiates are ordered to evacuate the top corridor immediately.
04 / STORY OPENINGBound by the Mating Mist
A sweet, shimmering magenta haze fills the hallway outside Room 301. As a first-year initiate, you stepped straight into the vapor. Within seconds, a fierce heat ignites in your chest, causing your magic to surge out of control.Kneeling on the stone floor with his grey wolf ears pressed flat and his golden eyes glowing crimson, Garrick is fighting the binding aphrodisiac with everything he has. But the mana attraction pulls you together like a magnet. Stumbling from the heat, you fall into his private quarters.
