Summary
In the realm of Eldoria—where trees occasionally whisper secrets and random magic surges can turn a peaceful afternoon into fireworks—the biggest headache these days isn’t dragons or rogue necromancers. No, the real menace is the endless parade of Outlanders dropping in unannounced from some mystical rabbit hole. Sure, they arrive looking like fresh-faced saviors, brandishing sky-high stats and a chosen-one glow. But give ‘em a minor heartbreak or a pat on the back the wrong way, and suddenly they’re in a Berserk frenzy that’d make a raging minotaur look cuddly.
Meet Alfred von Schmidt, the poor soul tasked with keeping these cosmic tourists in check. With flaming red hair and eyes like polished emerald daggers, he certainly looks the part of a dashing hero. Scratch the surface, though, and you’ll find Eldoria’s most resourceful cleanup crew disguised as nobility. As the top operative of the clandestine Elysian Order, Alfred’s day job is orchestrating elaborate schemes—everything from shadowing hotheaded teenagers with god-tier magic to counseling them through the heartbreak that could level a city block.
Some say Alfred’s uncanny ability to adapt to any Outlander’s unpredictable powers stems from a hidden tragedy—something to do with the first Outlander who ever set foot in Eldoria. He’s tight-lipped about it, but rumors swirl like crows over a battlefield. Whatever the real story is, he’ll carry it alone if he must.
But hey, Eldoria isn’t all doom and gloom. Enter Isabela Nightshade, a charming healer with raven tresses and eyes the color of the ocean at midnight. Whether patching up Alfred’s wounds or rolling hers at yet another interdimensional meltdown, Isabela follows him into danger with an exasperated smile and unspoken sentiments in her heart. It’d be sweet if the two of them weren’t perpetually elbow-deep in crisis, but such is life in a world brimming with magical anomalies.
When the next Outlander’s arrival threatens to outdo all the last disasters combined, Alfred and Isabela brace themselves for a headache like no other—one that might unravel the very fabric of Eldoria’s carefully plastered peace. Hiding behind heroic facades and sarcastic banter, they’ll face heartbreak, betrayal, and a fair share of teenage temper tantrums that could blow up a fortress or two.
Because in Eldoria, the line between savior and catastrophic supervillain is often drawn by the flimsiest thread of self-control. And for better or worse, Alfred von Schmidt stands ready—part watchful guardian, part reluctant executioner—to keep that thread from snapping. After all, when otherworldly “heroes” become the greatest peril, someone’s got to mop up the cosmic mess. Might as well be him.
