Some are born gifted. Others earn their talents through effort and time. Max was neither. Never given a chance to improve, he was forced into a never-ending string of sports and extracurricular activities for only the briefest of chances to excel before being swept off to his family's next attempt to recreate their firstborn prodigy's success in something, anything- to no avail. Considering his malicious and manipulative sister, emotionally absent mother, and father who "only hit calmly so it's punishment not abuse", it's no wonder he doesn't really care that he can't remember how he ended up... wherever the heck he is.He'll get a new life, a new family, a new name, and hopefully, a new chance to find what he's always thought he was missing- something he can be the best at. With plenty he's never tried before in a land of magic, follow along with Max as he explores both his fantastical new world and his understanding of himself.

My first attempt at putting one of the many stories in my head to paper, I hope others enjoy it as much as I have!
