“Life may seem like a dream in one of the idyllic sorcerer cities, but one young man named Aydin has been down on his luck in more ways than one. After one strange encounter, his world is about to get turned upside down.”
=== Additional Info ===
With so many animation series coming to a close lately, here’s the first of one of the new series we’ve been working on. I know some people will be disappointed that the first episode didn’t have a transformation, similar to other premieres such as King’s Heirs 1. But trust me, you won’t be disappointed when Aydin’s rocking a new body in episode 2.
Also, I apologize about the lack of an end sequence. We literally finished the animation yesterday, so there wasn’t time to put together a credits sequence or end card.

== Plot ==
April, 2016 in the Sorcerer City State of Olympus, Ayden Springcrest is an Arcane smith working long hours at a forge. His foremen are strict and demanding and while he's learned not to complain his minor remarks get him in a bad light and both he and his coworkers all feel overworked and looked down on. Ayden's shift ends just as he's given a large work order for Mithral Belt Buckles due by that Sunday. Ayden finishes his last order for the day and goes to his locker where his pet Arcane Ferrett Kira is resting. Ayden gets dressed and Kira openly complains how he stubbornly refuses to try and find a better job and how he constantly complains about his overtaxing life but doesn't do anything to change it. Ayden says how since he barely graduated Tier 3 of sorcerery school there's hardly any other jobs out there that would be any better or even hire him. Kira says how Ayden's stepbrother Heath called asking Ayden to grab drinks with him at the city's plaza. Ayden figures he might as well since he has nothing else to do in life.
A few hours later Heath and Ayden toast to Heath's recent break up but complains about how Ayden has been perpetually single for years. Kira berates him on not even trying but to shut her up Ayden throws a ball witch Kira can't resist due to her instincts. As the two brothers talk Heath spots a hot girl passing out flyers around the tables and pushes Ayden to talk to her. Soon after she comes over to the table introducing herself as Kaydence Sunguard and asks them to take a somewhat long survey in exchange for 15 crystals (arcane currency) Ayden agrees knowing it will more then cover dinner and drinks. As Kira comes back and asks them what the survey is about Ayden blushes after reading that some of the later questions ask about foreplay, dirty talk, and anal sex. While Ayden is a bit embarrassed, Heath thinks it's a bit kinky and attractive. The two finish and are paid as promised. While Kira berates them for falling for such a weird survey Ayden just insists, they get back to the drinks.
That Sunday Ayden has finished his work and has a day off after working so late the previous night. As he wakes up and Kira asks him about work, he gets a call on his Data Disk, a wrist hologram communicator (some advanced sorcerer variant of a smart phone). The caller is Kaydence Sunguard who says her company "Nether Horizons" wants to offer him a job based on his survey results.
== Trivia ==
* The foreman mentions a work order for armor made of "Mithril" in this episode, likely a reference to the unique precious metal popularized in the Lord of the Rings books and introducing a variant of it in the SF universe
