12 parts Ongoing Generations have passed since humans implemented a powerful global technology: alter reality at a thought. Installed deep within the earth, and engineered to last millenia, is the ultimate forgotten artifact of ancient man.
Today, humans have descended to a technological dark age. All knowledge of the old devices is lost, save what can be scrounged by avid historians and mages, remnants of a foregone class who can freely use the system.
Luos, nephew of the blacksmith of the village of Hill Hill, has become apprentice to the wizard Samsian and his talking cat familiar Peezlebub. He learns that while most people have some minor magical ability, the deeper magic requires the facilitation of a familiar, a daemon bound to a mortal body, able to navigate the spiritual world.
