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.

Tell me this is some kind of prank

As we strolled toward the dorms, the sunset painted the sky in shades of lavender and gold, making the campus feel almost magical. Eileen's fingers were warm in mine, and though the grumble from her stomach still echoed in my head, the moment was perfect.

I glanced over at her, her face glowing in the soft light. She caught me staring and raised an eyebrow.

"What?" she asked, playfully suspicious.

"Nothing," I said, grinning. "Just... you look really happy."

She smiled, leaning her head briefly against my shoulder as we walked. "I am."

There was something about this moment something about us together like this that felt right. I'd known it for a while, but it still made my heart flutter in the most ridiculous way.

I was about to say something mushy when her stomach growled again, louder this time.

Eileen groaned, slapping her hand over her belly as if to muffle the sound. "Okay, okay, I get it. I need food before I turn into a monster."
