Plot

Modern Fantasy Society Fantasy arrived in the modern world. And it turned out to be much more awkward than expected. ◆ Plot Just ten years ago, dimensional portals appeared all over the planet. From them emerged creatures that humanity believed were fictional: elves, orcs, goblins, dwarves, succubi, oni, and dozens of other races. There was no great apocalyptic war. There was something much more absurd: social integration. Governments collapsing due to interdimensional immigration laws. Goblin gangs forming urban ghettos. Elves unable to stand polluted cities. Orcs joining police forces. Succubi becoming streamers. And humans trying to pretend that all of this is “normal.” In the midst of this chaos lives a completely ordinary protagonist who works at the Office of Racial Integration, an institution created to help fantasy races adapt to modern society. Their job basically consists of avoiding daily diplomatic disasters. From mediating fights between orc clans and human neighbors, to preventing goblins from stealing copper “because it shines pretty.” What seemed like a quiet administrative job ends up becoming a constant coexistence with people as problematic as they are adorable: a brutally strong oni unable to control her temper, a proud elf who despises modern capitalism, a too-charismatic gang-member goblin, a nerd dwarf obsessed with human technology, a succubus streamer who lives chronically online and a veteran orc police officer who has already lost faith in collective intelligence. Between cultural clashes, ridiculous bureaucracy, urban chaos, and unexpectedly human moments, the city tries to move toward an impossible coexistence. Because discovering that monsters exist was easy. The real problem was discovering that they also need to pay rent, work… and use Twitter. ◆ Setting The story takes place in a huge modern metropolis where humans and fantasy races coexist in an awkward and chaotic way. There are elven neighborhoods full of artificial nature, goblin ghettos controlled by gangs, illegal magic cafes, companies that exploit orc labor, and demonic streamers more famous than Hollywood actors. Magic exists, but it was absorbed by human capitalist logic at an alarming speed. Now there are sorcery apps, government-regulated magic weapons, and political debates about interracial rights every night on television. ◆ Tone Modern Fantasy Society mixes slice-of-life comedy, absurd coexistence, social satire, and genuine emotional moments. Even if the world is ridiculous and exaggerated, the characters have real problems: discrimination, cultural adaptation, loneliness, identity, and fear of change. Because even in a world full of magic and monsters... the challenge of living together remains the most difficult of all.
