Become a top mage at all costs

Eileen Caldwell had always been the epitome of a laid-back individual. From her early years to her teens, her passion for leisure rivaled that of any professional napper. School was merely a necessary inconvenience, and she found herself comfortably situated at the bottom of her class hierarchy, much to the chagrin of her teachers and the bemusement of her peers. However, all of this changed on her 18th birthday signaling her transition into adulthood, a mysterious system was activated, one that would upend her world of sloth and slumber. Gone were the days of lounging around without consequence; instead, Eileen found herself thrust into a destiny she could scarcely have imagined. This newly activated system, with its stern mandate against idleness, revealed to Eileen her true potential: she was destined to become one of the most formidable mages the world had ever seen. No longer could she while away the hours in blissful ignorance; instead, she was called upon to harness her latent magical abilities and rise to the challenge that lay before her.

Walk and talk

With a final glance at the not-so-perfect breakfast, I decided to bring a plate to Lise. Maybe the effort would make up for the less-than-stellar presentation. I grabbed a tray, arranged the pancakes, scrambled eggs, and bacon as neatly as I could, and headed back to my room, balancing the tray carefully.

As I walked through the quiet hallways, the smell of bacon wafted up, mingling with the scent of slightly burnt pancakes. I couldn't help but smile, thinking about Lise's reaction. When I reached my door, I took a deep breath, knocked gently with my foot, and pushed it open.

Lise was still in bed, her hair tousled from sleep. She stirred at the sound of the door, sitting up and rubbing her eyes. "Eileen?" she mumbled, blinking in confusion.

"Good morning, sleepyhead," I said with a grin, walking over and setting the tray on the bedside table. "I brought you breakfast."
