The Story
This work is dedicated to my little brother Oskar, who has greatly supported me in my life, and to whom I am grateful.
Years ago Rum, an aspiring academic, disappeared from The Flipped University of Magical Studies. Now he has returned. But where has he been? Why did he disappear? What is this new magic he keeps talking about? And more importantly, did he forget basic rules of hygiene and proper attire while he was away?
These are the questions that Rum's much more successful little brother Amez must be wondering about, as Rum tries to return to civilization with a new life, a new job and a new home in Ermos City; a city of magic, guilds, adventurers, heroes and secrets.
About The Author
Hi! My name is Amici, when pronounced it sounds like "I-am-easy", which is ironic since so many people are confused about my name. If they've read my name before but never heard it spoken they often ask about its pronounciation. At that I often respond: "It's Amici - like in Amazing 😉"

So I'm a philosopher, writer, anarchist, former podcaster, failed indie gamedev, and aspiring scientist - and I've made money off of neither. Still, the heart wants what the heart wants. I enjoy writing entertaining fantasy, essays and even the occasional poetry, as long as these texts have a component of philosophy to them. In my opinion, all texts are improved by a little bit of philosophy!
