The Guide's Fatal Failure

In a world where young mages rely on specialized guides to awaken their latent mana, Shana is assigned a daunting task: she must guide the awakening of Blysse Hoff, a notorious outcast from the prestigious Hoff family. As a commoner thrust into this critical role, Shana harbors a devastating secret. She knows that remaining by Blysse’s side will lead to her own death in exactly eight years. Terrified by this grim fate, she becomes desperate to find a way out and escape the doomed assignment before the clock runs out. However, fleeing is far more complicated than it seems. If Shana abandons her duty or fails to successfully trigger Blysse’s awakening, he will lose his life entirely. Bound by the heavy burden of his survival, she finds herself trapped in an impossible dilemma where saving herself means condemning him. With time slipping away and no easy path forward, Shana must navigate this perilous situation and devise a brilliant plan that might just save them both from tragedy.
