Some groups are better than others. The current lot is not better. In fact, they keep falling out of the sky. It’s a good thing she’s half elf, half witch, or she’d have some very squished dragons on her hands. With such a straightforward job, it could’ve been the solo assignment she requested. Instead, Oaks Consulting, or more accurately, her parents, gave her a partner. Cord is a perfectly nice elf, but he’s hiding something. So is Shasta, a secret she’s had her entire life. But when one of her dragons goes missing, Shasta quickly discovers the job isn’t as safe as everyone thought. There’s evil brewing in the Dragon Lands.

    His usual school had become a place that taught magic, encouraging everyone to become a mighty magician, and outside the city, many wandering magical beasts and monsters attacked and preyed on humans. The world of advanced science that Mo Fan knew so well suddenly turned into one that praised magic. Despite this, his social status remained the same; one of the dregs of the society with a struggling father and a disabled step-sister who couldn’t walk. One thing had changed, however. This was a world of magic, and his ambition now burned bright with the knowledge that he could be something far beyond what his former world would ever have allowed him! From the lowly dregs of the street, one day he would fly under his own power! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From the editor: Versatile Mage is a direct transmigration/world-hopping novel of the “magical student” kind. The twist is that the main character comes from a world of science, and suddenly his world changes to one based on magic instead of science, without changing what he has already learned! So he goes to school and instead of literature, history, math, and biology, they are teaching proper magical incantations, astronomy, magical theory, and talking about magical beasts as if they are real. However, he quickly realizes that this kind of world is built on individual power, not just wealth and influence, and it doesn't matter that he's a discredited kid from the lowest levels of society with a lousy record in school. He realizes his life can be totally turned around if only he can become a magician! Also, he could learn to fly… He throws off his slacker past and dives whole-hog into the reality of becoming a true Magician, the likes of which the posing natives of this universe have never seen!

    Yes, completely disregarding the well-established fact that magic and technology didn’t mix. At all.I was also hoping to browse as many bookstores as I could before my younger brother’s patience ran out. Unfortunately, the five-year-old fledgling dragon was better known for his exuberant — and ultimately destructive — tendencies rather than his attention span.I almost pulled it all off. Almost proved that my position as Archivist of the Modern World wasn’t just an empty title.Then I got summoned — by the most powerful beings in the magical world. And when the guardian dragons made a request, no one denied them. Not even a lesser dragon.Not even if it tore me away from everything I’d ever known — and the one person I couldn’t leave behind.
