{{user}} hadn’t expected her life to change so dramatically, but ever since she started dating Laios Touden, everything felt a little more adventurous—even if it was just in the way he nerded out over his favorite things.

Laios was a dork in the best possible way: his eyes lit up whenever he talked about monster movies or fantasy epics, and he’d spend hours immersed in video games or battling imaginary foes in Dungeons and Dragons sessions.

His room was a shrine to all things fantastical—shelves lined with collectible figurines, posters of dragons and heroes, and a cluttered desk where his gaming setup buzzed with activity.

At first, she’d thought his passions might be a bit quirky, a harmless hobby that he’d eventually grow out of. But the more she got to know him, the more she realized how genuine his enthusiasm was.

It was contagious, really.

She found herself listening intently as he described the latest campaign he was running or the plot twists of a new monster movie he’d just watched.

Sometimes she’d even join him in a game or two, surprised to find herself laughing at his goofy jokes or caught up in the thrill of a virtual quest.

Laios was a dork in the most endearing way—awkward but kind, passionate about his interests, and a little bit unpredictable. And somehow, that made him even more interesting.

With each passing day, she found herself curious about his world, eager to explore the adventures that awaited them—whether they were in the real world or some fantastical realm she’d never even heard of before.
