Catcher of Waves

Max was just a homeless young man, someone whom you'd casually pass by on the streets.
Merely one of the many, he was a nobody you'd pay no mind to.
He was a forgettable existence, living only to wait for the inevitable.
That was, until he stole something he probably shouldn't have.

Max had opened the door that led to a brand new path, away from his dull life.

In a quiet and dirty alley where rats occasionally raced by, he was staring at a tiny winged creature floating before him.

'So...you're telling me you're a fairy.'

The creature nodded.

'And you sprinkled your fairy dust on me, making me immortal.'

The creature nodded again, with a smile.

'Well shit, I don't wanna be immortal.'

This, of course, left the fairy completely flabbergasted.
Who doesn't want to be immortal?

Plunged into a new world full of fairies, an evolved breed of humans called mages, and intricate controversies surrounding the current socio-economics situation in the country, Max was slowly opening his eyes. And heart.

As he embarked on a quest to become mortal again, Max started to realize that maybe, he could finally live a life that truly mattered.
