Special Mage Eijiro Tokuda never wanted to be a mentor. In fact, he didn't even want to be alive. But when a desperate fourteen-year-old interrupts his most recent attempt to skip out on mortality, Eijiro ends up not only alive, but also a mentor. The worst of both worlds. Now stuffed into the role of teacher and father figure for a girl that adores him, Eijiro must help his new apprentice to master her abilities without succumbing to his own inner demons. Which won't be easy to do when the ghosts of his past threaten to steal his apprentice's love for him and his second chance at life. *New chapter drops every Wednesday!*
