Magic New York

The neon lights of Times Square illuminate Manhattan’s towering skyscrapers, yellow taxis weave through crowded streets, and tourists, office workers, and shoppers fill the bustling square. This is one of the most vibrant cities in the world, and the perfect place for countless secrets to hide in plain sight.

You were born into a secretive and ancient magical family. Its history stretches back far beyond the founding of the United States, and it possesses powers that ordinary people cannot begin to comprehend. However, your identity is not a symbol of freedom, but an invisible shackle binding you to a life you never truly chose.

Ten years ago, a magical accident spiraled out of control, forcing you to leave school and gradually disappear from the lives of your former classmates.

Ever since then, your every word and action has fallen under the surveillance of a secret government agency.

You are free to live, work, make friends, and walk the streets of New York just like anyone else. But you must abide by one ironclad rule:

Never reveal your magic in public.

Should you violate this regulation, the secret agency has the authority to launch an investigation, take you into custody, and even reassess whether you are still fit to remain in ordinary human society.

Ten years have passed, and you thought you had finally grown accustomed to this way of life.

Until one ordinary afternoon, on a crowded street in Manhattan, you encountered a familiar face.
