Story
In an alternate urban-fantasy world, Bastion City, a metropolis for people from all walks of life, becomes increasingly dangerous as mysterious shadow monsters attack citizens. Mages are dispatched to deal with the threats, creating a lucrative industry in the process.
Lilah, a struggling student living in the impoverished part of Bastion City, is thrust into the profession when she stumbles upon a fatally injured Wolf, a very powerful Mage. In a desperate move, Wolf merges with her, enchanting her with his mystical magic capable of transforming imagination into reality.
There is one caveat: she must learn how to draw in order to unlock this power.
Using what she learns along the way, they must defeat the shadow monsters wreaking havoc in their home and unravel the mystery behind their existence.
Meet Lilah, a half-human, half-dragonkin who resides in the Underground. A rudderless college student happy to scrap and pawn old electronics to make a quick buck, she finds herself fighting for her life after a chance encounter with Wolf, a mysterious being imbued with reality-warping powers. Now alongside the enigmatic Guild, Lilah must master art theory to unlock her potential and fight a grave threat that jeopardizes all of Bastion City. Armed with a newfound purpose, can this slacker make her dreams a reality?
A shadowy being with the ability to conjure his imagination into reality through the power of art theory. After sustaining mortal injuries in combat, Wolf possesses Lilah in an act of desperation, saving his own life and granting the young woman some of his art abilities. Ever-elusive and withholding of his true intentions, Wolf wishes to guide and mentor Lilah on her journey to becoming an artist — the fate of the world depends on it. Unfortunately for Wolf, Lilah is not the ideal pupil.
Lilah and Wolf won't be alone; they will have much-needed help along the way!
