Zagan is a super powerful wizard, but lives in seclusion. And now he must face his biggest challenge… falling in love!
Zagan was feared by the masses as an evil wizard. Both socially awkward and foul-mouthed, he spends his days learning magic while defeating any intruders in his domain. One day, he was invited to participate in a dark auction and what he found there was an elven slave girl of unparalleled beauty, Nephy. Love at first sight, Zagan used his entire fortune to buy her, but being a poor communicator, he didn’t know how to properly interact with her. Thus begins the awkward cohabitation of a sorcerer who does not know how to convey his love and a slave who longs for his master but does not know how to attract him.
