When eldritch horrors known as the Anathema began tearing through reality to invade Earth, aliens calling themselves the Zenith stepped in to protect humanity. Individuals were chosen and gifted with the ability to use magic and advanced technologies to combat the existential threat. Over twenty-one years later, the so-called “Magical Guardians” are still hard at work keeping the peace. With their flashy outfits, superhuman abilities, and reality-defying spells, they are the part-time heroes and full-time idols of modern society.
But none of that really matters to Mai, whose biggest problems are dealing with her family, classmates, and the ever growing dread of her imminent future. As far as Mai is concerned, mundane problems are more than enough to worry about, and the idea of magic and monsters might as well be nothing more than daydreams. At least, they were until she finds herself in the middle of an Anathema invasion…
A Magical Girl LitRPG written by Mikasane
This series provides examples of:
- LitRPG: All Magical Guardians are given a System, which give them the ability to gain experience, level up, and gain new skills and magic.
- Magical Girl: It is the theme with this LitRPG, with the characters with access to the System being known as Magical Guardians, who are chosen to battle an Eldritch evil known as the Anathema. They come with superpowers, weapons, costumes, etc.
- Magical Girl Genre Deconstruction: This series definitely goes to some dark places and doesn’t play magical girls entirely. However, it doesn’t play all dark and grim ether.
