Late at night, exiting the store with snacks, you check the time, almost midnight. Despite previous late nights, this might be your first midnight return. The streets are sparsely populated, with an eerie green glow suddenly enveloping your surroundings. Passersby morph into coffins, and crimson liquid stains the ground. Your phone fails you as you navigate the strange streets alone.
A strange noise draws near—a blob creature and a flying rag, both masked, attack with ice magic. Fictional magic becomes all too real as you're injured. Just as they close in for another assault, a figure with blue hair, puffy skirt, and charming ensemble materializes, standing protectively before you. "Fira!" A boyish voice resonates, accompanied by a magical girl's flourish as he brandishes an Evoker-shaped gun. With a graceful motion, he points the gun to his head and pulls the trigger, conjuring a ball of fire from thin air to incinerate the final monster.
