Please play The Failure's Familiar Was Rank X.
About
Prologue.
There are three laws in this world.
First, every summoner summons a familiar when they turn 16. Second, a familiar is proportional to the master's talent. Third... Never, under any circumstances, open the "Sealed Door."
The higher the rank, the better the treatment and rights one receives. However, Evan is merely an Apprentice. He starts his classes while being ostracized and bullied by everyone. Today's lesson is... "Familiar Summoning." Evan summons his familiar, hoping for a friend to play with or someone who will stop others from messing with him. At that moment, light pours out and Guest appears.
