One particular ice mage happened to be an unfortunate soul that faced the ghastly thing known as death again. Only from an outside perspective it was seen but what exactly happened inside?

i've faced death again and again only to be revived and survive.

I am gray fullbuster a wizard of the guild.

Guild… what is a guild?

From somewhere he heard a scream of what sounded to be a man and woman.
