HiDE,Aoi! (BL)
What if everything that made us who we are disappears?
WHO THE FRIGG IS AOI?
and what the frigg is he hiding from? What the frigg happened to Yaya? And what the ever-loving FUCK do you mean:
"what is coffee?"
HiDE, Aoi!
by HerbivorePapi
Aoi is your highly emotional, unusually thoughtful young mage. He's cursed with stark white hair, an inconvenient yet persuasive conscience, and more mana than the Goddess herself, maybe. Nurtured by his adoptive mother, SINGLE mother B—known only to him as Yaya—he grew up in an idyllic, loving home filled with her vast collection of scientific and magical knowledge gathered across ages and worlds.
The handsome, brooding Mamoru stopped coming for lessons. With him gone, Yaya's a mess and refuses to ever mention his name again, and worse; there are no new volumes or grimoires from the outside world to add to the library.
Aoi spends his days tending to his non-human friends, lounging on giant tortoises, talking with magical birds, cultivating his magical prowess and the gardens under the guidance of a true immortal master; and drinking coffee. Until it all is ripped away from him.
The FIRST installment of this tale follows Aoi's search for the mysterious Hunter named Hamza. Adventure alongside him as he scours terra incognita, delves dungeons, battles monsters, confronts Hunters, and—most terrifying of all—navigates human friendships while searching for any signs that might lead him back home... back to a life he fears is already gone.
Collecting grimoires along the way is just an added bonus.
In a world where lives can span millennia, how would you cope with loss?
This is not LitRPG, nor is it harem-core. This is an extremely slow-burn, unusually character driven fantasy.

"HiDE, Aoi!" is a work of fiction. Names, characters, places, and incidents stem entirely from the author's C-PTSD and creative liberties. Any resemblance to real persons, living or dead, is deeply flattering to this delulu author, but rest assured: it is all, unfortunately, fiction.
