How to handle seven overpowered (and slightly unstable) children? First, you suppress their powers in every way you can. Then, you make them spend their entire lives training how to control their powers so they don’t “accidentally” destroy the world in a snap. That was THE PLAN... until some dark magic started to stir, threatening peace in the land of Maja. Still unable to control their powers, the seven magic bearers of Maja will go on a journey to save the world from evil, but more importantly, to save the world from themselves: Toki is the bearer of time. He can travel through time both physically and mentally. In his hands, time could go slower or faster. But if he makes one blunder, time could stop for eternity. Snow is the bearer of phenomena. Still unable to control her powers, the weather changes with her mood. And if she snaps, their world can collapse. Olivia is the bearer of wisdom. Unlike her friends, she can control her powers better with the help of her cute pet and a system. Doki is the bearer of space. He can open up portals to anywhere. But his power needs moderation and practice. He always had nightmares of accidentally opening portals to the underworld. Kid is the bearer of senses. He has the gift of superhuman senses, but crowded places and clogged toilets make this ability a curse. He can’t adjust the ‘volume’ by himself yet. Clover is the bearer of luck. The simplest as it sounds, but actually the most complicated. Luck is always on her side, but never in her hands. She can’t control how her powers work, and it can feed on others’ misfortune. Max is the bearer of power. Among the seven bearers, he’s the only one who can control his friends. But that will only work if he controls himself first. The fate of Maja is on his hands. Will these seven bearers conquer their powers and become stronger? Or will they let themselves get overwhelmed by the magic they bear? . . .
