System School

Melvin Murphy has ordinary problems — high school, tests, failing to find a girlfriend — until he discovers a System that governs all magic. His attempt to summon a teacher goes wrong, and instead he pulls through a magic-wielding girl named Kalliphae: powerful, deadly, and completely clueless about Earth. An unlikely team is born.

Melvin and Kalli head to The Academy, a magic school hidden beneath the Los Angeles Times building, where lessons include interdimensional astronomy and mana fencing. Dragons, gods, and bullies thrive in the magical world hidden just beneath the surface — and Melvin will need to prove he has what it takes to pass.

When Kalli returns to Gaia, a lost Melvin throws himself into his newfound skills as a healer. Paired with an unlikely partner, he must rise to the occasion when an ominous message arrives: Kalli is dying. Melvin and his friends set out for another world to save her and escape The Accidental Contract.

Free from the contract, Melvin returns to Earth to find his mother missing. Clues about his bloodline emerge in the form of long-lost half-siblings — not all of them friendly. Meanwhile, something is wrong with his mana: everything he touches, he corrupts.

Book 5 of this lighthearted and often hilarious LitRPG Series about how two kids from different worlds grow into their own while surviving things like classes, bullies, vampires, and worse.
