My name is Chase. I am a Magician in the Maple World. I left Arboren for Ellinia with my friends, Arby, Lai, Fort, and Eka. Because of my unique magic, I sought Grendel, the oldest magician of our time.

I heard that the heroes were back! And they saved the world from the Black Mage once again! I always wanted to become a heroine, inspired by them! Especially Aran and Mercedes! But Freud and Luminous are my role models! I long to meet them! I heard it from Grendel that the five heroes were stuck in a curse after sealing the Black Mage hundreds of years ago. Afrien, the Dragon King had taken the curse for Freud instead. So, Freud had died a natural death.

I was sad to hear that I would not have a chance to meet the leaders of the six heroes! However, Grendel told me that a boy around my age named Evan had inherited the Dragon Master's role and powers in order to lead the heroes back to saving the world.

Now that's what I call hope! I can be a heroine too after all!

I tried to beg Grendel to help me figure out where the heroes are now but to no avail. Owen the Fairy interjected us and called Grendel out for some issues in Ellinia.

I was left alone in the Magic Library. I wondered around and found a magic portal. Curiosity brought me closer and closer.

"Don't!" The voice startled me as I fell into the swirling portal.

The next thing I knew, I found myself sprawled out in a bedroom.

"Who are you? Didn't I tell Lolo to take care of the portal?" A man with honey blonde hair questioned me as I sat up rubbing my head.

"I'm Chase! A magician from Arboren and a future heroine!" I bounced up and introduced myself.

"Right. I'm Elwin, and I assumed you fell into the portal." The guy sighed.

"That's right. This little boy startled me." I smiled sheepishly.

"Must be Lolo." Elwin chuckled.

"So where is this?" I asked, looking around for the first time. The room wasn't that big. It was kind of small. Normal looking. A single bed, desktop, and a... abnormally huge wardrobe.

"Why is this wardrobe so huge?" I couldn't contain my curiosity and opened it.

"Stop!" Elwin shrieked before a blinding light engulfed the entire room and I was suddenly sucked into yet another portal.

"Blek!" I fell on the ground ungracefully the second time today.

"Who are you?!" An unfamiliar voice shrieked like Elwin.

"I'm Chase! A magician from Arboren and a future heroine!" I leapt up from the floor and hit my chest twice with my fist.

"A... MAGICIAN?" The girl in front of me screamed. Now that I looked at her... She doesn't seem 'normal'.

"What's Arboren? Or is it a place? Are you from another world? Are you here to answer my wishes?!" The girl was wearing funny looking clothes and was tugging at the hem of my yellow dress.

"Wait wait. What? What other world? What are you talking about?" I calmed her down and pushed her away from me. Before she could answer, I heard Elwin's voice from the wardrobe.

"Chase! Are you there? Can you hear me?"

"Yes! I'm here with this... Uhhhh..." I look back at the girl who was staring stupefied at the 'talking' wardrobe.

"Moon. Just call me Moon." The girl answered.

"Moon. Yeah. Someone called Moon." I talked back to Elwin.

"Uhhh... That's not good news. Anyway, just drag her back here first." Elwin said.

"Alright." I grab Moon's hand and leapt towards the wardrobe. Just when Moon thought we were going to crash through the wooden furniture, a portal swirled open as they leapt through it.

"Blekk!"

"Not again..." I groaned and stood up, facing Elwin's frown.

"You're someone from the parallel dimension?" Elwin asked the girl.

"Parallel dimension? You mean this is another dimension?" Moon blinked ultra-hard.

"Yes. I am Elwin, the Barrier Master. I was creating and experimenting on some barriers when I accidentally created this portal, which seeing as where you came from, it's a parallel dimension." Elwin explained, his voice quivering.

"Grendel and Lily are going to kill me." Elwin sighed, tearing up a little.

"Say, Chase? Can you take my place over at the other dimension? I want to stay here for a while." Moon pleaded.

"What?" I blinked.

"You can serve as an investigation for Elwin here!" Moon was trying to convince me so hard.

"That won't be wise. I think we should wait for Grendel and Lily." Elwin shook his head.

"I think it'll be fun! We can wait for them while I explore the other world!" My eyes twinkled with excitement.

"That's a deal! Here! This is a cellphone. I will call you as soon as you reach there." Moon handed me a funny looking device. I'll figure everything out there! Was what I think before I jumped into the portal with Elwin trying to stop me from behind.

"Eek! Not again!" I got up from my lying position and brushed the dust off my dress.

*ring ring*

A vibration and sound jostled me as I found the device called the cellphone lying on the floor.

"Answer?" I clicked the green button on my instincts and the screen changed.

"C...N YO... H...AR M...E?" There was a faint sound transmitting from the device. I knocked it twice and pressed it against my ear.

"WHERE ARE MY EARS?" I shrieked when I found out that my fox ears were missing on the top of my head. Twisting my head a little, I think I could hear through the side of my head.

"CAN YOU HEAR ME CHASE?!" The faint sound suddenly turned into a large boom when it closes in on the side of my head.

"Yes! Moon! I'm going deaf!" I screeched back.

"Okay good! You caught on the basics of using the cellphone huh." I heard Moon chuckle from the other line.

"By the way, can you tell Elwin that my ears and tail are gone? But somehow I can still hear?" I spoke cautiously.

"It's Elwin here. Your appearance might have changed because of the distortion in the fabric of space as you leap across dimensions. That appearance is also used to adapt to the world you are in now." Elwin explained.

"Anyway, Chase, now exit my room and head to the Uniform shop. Your dress is too weird for my world. Just tell Big Headward, the tailor that you are a transfer student and needs a uniform." Moon snatched the cellphone over.

"Alright. But why do I need a uniform? I thought only armies or soldiers need them? Like the cygnus knights and resistance army?" I questioned.

"I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about Chase. But a uniform is necessary because you are enrolling into Shinsoo International."
