hellooo! i'm interested in learning more about mahoyaku but i'm not too sure where to begin... are there any introductory posts i can start out with?
HELLO! I can make one for you right now!
Mahoyaku (魔法使いの約束 Mahoutsukai no Yakusoku, or Promise of Wizard) is a training game developed by coly!
The storyline follows the protagonist (default name Akira, you can choose a girl or boy MC) as they get transported into the world of wizards! From then on, they fulfill the role of the Sage, a person who leads the Sage's wizards in order to combat the Great Calamity that threatens the peace of their world.
All in all, there are 21 wizards who are summoned under the Sage. There are five countries with four wizards chosen from each one (with the exception of Northern Country).
Northern Country — Characterized by its brutal and harsh temperament of both the inhabitants and its weather.
From left to right: Snow, White, Mithra, Owen, Bradley
Western Country — Known for its technological advancements and the eccentric dispositions of the wizards and humans alike!
From left to right: Shylock, Murr, Chloe, Rustica
Central Country — Known for its trade and the Granvelle kingdom, as well as the strong sense of justice and relative openness people have to wizards (most of the time).
From left to right: Oz, Arthur, Cain, Riquet
Eastern Country — Citizens of this country usually have an aversion to interacting with others. That, and it's also stated in the 100 volumes of laws that it's forbidden to talk with strangers in the streets.
From left to right: Faust, Shino, Heathcliff, Nero
Southern Country — This country's people are very kind and are familiar with a sense of community! Wizards and humans live together harmoniously.
From left to right: Figaro, Rutile, Lennox, Mitile
The main story can be read on healingbonds' dreamwidth here (starting from chapter one).
After that, the events are up next! Here is the index for that—there's a certain order to read them in, though, and this translator doesn't have all of them. Feel free to hit me up in another ask if you can't find the translation for an event/card and I'll give you a link.
Order of reading (excluding seasonal/holiday events):
Main story -> West Etude -> East Etude -> Central Etude -> North Etude -> South Etude -> Affection Stories = Character/Location Stories -> Preludes -> Ballads -> Concertos
I hope I introduced it well enough! Again, feel free to send me an ask for any more links or if you have any questions!! I also wanna hear your thoughts on it if you want to talk about it with someone!! I hope you enjoy it as much as I do Ɛ>
YES Bradley. Braddykins. He used to be a gang leader in the North and stole a bunch of stuff from rich people and also he's very caring but also he got arrested and also he shoots people to make them more powerful or to make them feel better he is divorced whenever he sneezes he teleports to somewhere else and it takes 8-15 business days for him to return to the manor I'm lying about the timeframe by the way but it does take him a while also his favorite food is fried chicken he was the youngest in his family and he's very thoughtful of his bandit members who passed away and he's also bisexual
Do you realize how many times the stars have spun around us? Do you realize how many times the monarch sitting atop the throne has changed?
Hasn’t it been long enough?
Isn’t it time for you to forgive yourself?
Hi everyone this is Riquet Ortiz he's a character from Mahoyaku and a Central wizard. He grew up in a cult before getting summoned as a Sage's wizard. His relationship with religion is written really well and the people around him are very understanding of the circumstances in which he grew up in and are really nice to him. He's very sharp-tongued at times and he has a strong sense of morals, though he is struggling a bit because of the foundations on which his morals lie on vs. the new world that he's trying to accept despite being told it was bad. He is everything. He is your next best friend. He will spawn a tornado on you
