World of Nightmares

Orphaned at a young age, Lucida Celeste strives to finish her studies in the prestigious Arcanum Academy where the elite spellcasters, Magi and Spellblades, are trained as early as the age of twelve to combat Nightmares―the scourge of mankind, monsters born from the darkness of the world. She hopes that one day; she would be strong enough to take her revenge against the Nightmare that slaughtered her family.

But there are a couple of snags in her plan: one, she's been failing her classes; two, she still doesn't have―or rather, fails to acquire―a contracted familiar which is a primary requirement for any Magus.

Still, she works hard to become a full-fledged Magus despite the odds stacked against her, but she's rapidly losing faith. All that changes when she meets the academy's wild card: Siegfried von Durand.
