(Prologue) 
In the land of Rictus, people were divided by social classes. Not the typical ranking by some old school medieval type. Yuck. They reconsidered and erased the thought of having slaves and higher being of humans. Instead, they wanted to change for the better.

Rictus was the land of riches and fame. It was a known city filled with knights and soldiers trained by the strongest leaders and went through vigorous training. Everything was good, the food, the environment, the atmosphere but the only problem was the government. They were defense freaks and wanted 100% protection causing the village to be divided. King Dalius II made different sanctums and assigned different people in each place. 

But, because of this, the people were not united. Weak people were in one place causing them to be raided frequently. The strong ones were sent to work tirelessly everyday. The city was in havoc wanting freedom but the government leaders trapped them in their areas by creating large walls that circled around the townspeople. 

Due to their weak relationships, the city of Rictus was attacked by another kingdom named Grimore. Tears went down people's eyes, fire landed on each corner and everyone was murdered by cold blood. King Dalius II fled and sought safety in an old cave that was once rumored that it was keeping an old artifact. Yet, the rumor was true. 

King Dalius II found this and named it the Arcanum. He went to city of Rictus and used it against the kingdom of Grimore. The opposing team were easily defeated and were banished from their territory. With the remaining survivors, the king remade their city using the power of the Arcanum, but, they were cursed into living a life with magic and changed their lives and their social classes forever.

There is an unexpected turn in the story that drastically changes the course of events and, in the long run, even the lives of those involved. Magpie, the first to be involved, suddenly finds himself in the world so unlike his own. Will he find his place there or will he be at least able to go back home? He seems to find his way back from this new world of giga-dimensions but something unwanted happens, and things go worse. The cultural differences, together with a challenging personality traits of another involved in the events, suck Magpie and his friends into a downward spiral. The story challenges you to see the world differently from the perspective you are perhaps too used to and narrowed by. Life can be an adventure if you don't narrow it with a bigotry that forces you to be rooted in your trenches and behind your dividing walls. This doesn't mean you have to accept others' views without standing your ground. However, to be able to share our lives in this one and only world we need to make compromises, on both sides. Are you the first brave one to set this positive trend in motion? So read on and let the foundation of the story be laid. From the end of episode 1 on, the story really picks up, finally reaching its climax at the end of episode 3 with quite a surprising finish. Your participation in solving this shared challenge of coexistence and cooperation is highly appreciated. Remember those who cooperate make more progress than those who don't! The ideal audience for my first book is actually between 12 and 16, but anybody older and interested in adventures, cultures and in getting more understanding into our multifaceted world is sure to enjoy the story. (The whole story has now been published, the only thing I'll still add is the final epilogue but the story is already available in its entirety.)

Janus Viper was once a handsome king, a cruel ruler that ruled his Kingdom with an iron fist. Even though he had everything he ever wanted since he was born (except, perhaps, love) he taxed his people relentlessly in order to fill his castle with the most beautiful objects, and his parties with the most powerful people. One day, a weak and homeless old man visits Janus, seeking shelter from the storm. Janus turns the man away, repulsed by his appearance, and as punishment, a curse is placed on Janus and his castle. Janus is turned into a monster, with six arms, claws, venomous fangs, and scales covering half of his body. The servants of the castle and all his guests were turned into furniture, as punishment for sitting by and doing nothing while the Prince grew into the cruel King he is today. However, there is a cure for the curse. If Janus can learn to truly love another and be loved in return, the curse will be cured. As the years went by, the castle and everyone in it became forgotten, and Janus lost hope. For who could ever love someone as cold and monstrous as him? Meanwhile, in a small village nearby, a Wizard named Logan Foster is looked down on by his town for his startling intelligence, difficulty in social situations, and his practices of magic. That doesn't deter Roman Prince from attempting to court Logan, however, because even if he is odd, Logan is the most handsome man in the village, and Roman has always enjoyed a challenge. Not wishing for his son to be alone, Patton Foster agrees to give Roman his blessing. Logan, who doesn't wish to get married, runs away from home. He plans to build a cabin in the forest and live the rest of his days there, but instead he finds a castle, where he is invited to stay as a guest. (Yes changing the captive part you're welcome) He isn't sure yet who the Castle's Master is, but based on the talking furniture that allowed him to stay here, he assumes it's a fellow Wizard.
