What would you do if your everyday life working a dead end job to survive was interrupted, but not by sickness or disaster, but instead by an accident that crossed dimensions to give you odd powers and a whole mess of secrets to keep? Especially if that accident also results in you still having to work a day job to keep a roof over your head? Liam Cosgrave has been wrestling with that whole situation for weeks now. An accident summoned him to another world and his own need to help people bonded him to a pair of young sorceresses, but not as a hero to save the world.
