00:10If someone had told me that getting Isheroned into a novel could actually happen, I would have sent them to
00:14a psychiatrist.
00:15A blind date? Didn't I tell her I wasn't interested?
00:20In a world of shadows and lies, and is thrust into an epic battle for the fate of the world.
00:25Hey, I need you to finish this before you go home.
00:30I need you to finish this before you go home.
00:42You have got to be!
00:49Oh, you have got to be kidding me!
00:56I was a 150-year-old witch living in this forest.
01:00I'd nearly died from eating a poisonous plant, and now, someone from another world was wearing my skin.
01:06My name is Serafina, and apparently, I live here now.
01:11Two years since I woke up in this world, I'd built a life here, sold potions to the nearby town,
01:18tended my garden, and mostly kept to myself.
01:21Witches aren't exactly popular in Vessia. Guess there's more to this forest than I thought.
01:34Guess there's more to this forest than I thought.
01:37Home. A child? What are you doing?
01:59Shield! Show yourself!
02:04Give me the boy!
02:06Not happening! Purify!
02:07Give me the boy!
02:08Fire!
02:10Now then, what to do with you?
02:12Wait, it's okay, I'm not going to harm you.
02:14I won't touch you.
02:15Why don't you come with me? Are you hungry?
02:17Come, follow me.
02:34Do you want water or tea?
02:46Go ahead and eat.
02:49Whoa! Take it easy. I won't take your food away. There's plenty more.
02:54Drink this. It'll help your throat.
03:01My name is Serafina. This is my home. You can stay here for the night if you like. However, if
03:08you're staying, you need to be clean.
03:10Find the right mix of hot and cold. Use the soap for your body and hair.
03:23Dry off with this towel.
03:33Did you get in? I have a shirt.
03:37Are you okay?
03:47Sorry. Did I hurt you?
03:52Put this on when you're done.
03:54Great idea, Sera.
03:55Make the scared child even more terrified of you.
04:00I'll get proper clothes for you tomorrow.
04:03Do you have any family?
04:04Would you like to stay here?
04:06I mean, unless you'd prefer an orphanage or a church.
04:09Then will you let me see your neck?
04:15What's your name?
04:17My name is Damien.
04:20Damien. I like it.
04:21Welcome home.
04:26I've never met anyone like her.
04:31No fear in her eyes.
04:33No disgust.
04:36This should be interesting.
05:02Release!
05:03I'm so sorry. I should have made sure you could leave freely. What were you doing?
05:12Were you trying to draw water?
05:14You don't need the well. This is a faucet. Mealtimes. Her study is off limits without her. And always tell
05:21her before leaving at night.
05:22Yes, Master.
05:24You don't have to call me Master. Serafina or Sela is fine.
05:31Serafina or Sela?
05:31Serafina, are you okay?
05:34Perfectly fine. Eat up.
05:39I need you to come take measurements of a child.
05:42A child? I do not recall you mentioning having a mate and being impregnated.
05:46Nyx! No, I found him!
05:49I shall arrive in 15 minutes.
05:56What color do you like, boy?
06:03Silver.
06:07I am surprised, Master.
06:08Taking in a human boy, you do not let anyone close to you.
06:11You do not even have a familiar. That is dangerous for a witch.
06:14I can protect myself, Nyx.
06:16You are powerful, but you are not invulnerable.
06:18And a witch without a familiar is like a ship without a rudder.
06:21I have never needed a familiar before, and I do not need one now.
06:24You are my savior.
06:26I wish to see you live a long life.
06:31How old are you, Damien?
06:34Twelve.
06:37What?
06:39Sorry.
06:41You have nothing to apologize for.
06:43None of this is your fault.
06:49Sarah!
06:51It's okay.
06:53She's not hurting me.
06:55In the novel, Damien has an aura that either makes creatures submit or become hostile.
07:01The chickens aren't affected because, well, they're chickens.
07:06Every day, check for eggs.
07:08Clean the coop.
07:08Fresh water twice, two cups of feet at noon.
07:11I'll be there.
07:11I'll be there.
07:11Sarah.
07:22What is that, Sarah?
07:24Sarah?
07:25Sarah?
07:25My barrier.
07:26Keeps unwanted things out.
07:28I check it every few days.
07:31You're strange.
07:32Aren't witches supposed to be cruel?
07:35Some are.
07:37Witches are like anyone else.
07:39Some good, some bad, some a bit of both.
07:42I see.
07:44Damien is possessive.
07:46Not just of his future soulmate, but on anyone he claims as his.
07:50Good news, he won't randomly kill me.
07:53Bad news.
07:54My plan to send him off on his Emperor journey might get...
07:57complicated.
08:00Looks delicious.
08:02This is one of my favorites.
08:10Hey, Sarah.
08:12Why don't you have a familiar?
08:19You don't have to tell me.
08:22No.
08:23It's okay.
08:27His name was Finn.
08:31A shapeshifter.
08:33He preferred being a cat.
08:36We were together for 70 years.
08:39He was a pain.
08:40Always nagging.
08:41But he was my best friend.
08:42When I was escaping a country that persecuted witches, he protected me.
08:46Died in my place.
08:48After that, I couldn't bring myself to sign another contract.
08:51Felt like replacing him.
08:52It's been 65 years now.
08:54Thanks, Damien.
08:56I've never talked about Finn to anyone.
09:00Sorry, Sarah.
09:02I didn't mean to make you cry.
09:06Everyone needs to cry sometimes.
09:08I'll be at the apothetary.
09:10The bookstore is down the block.
09:12You've already read everything at home.
09:15Use that for anything you like.
09:23Miss Serafita.
09:25Beautiful as always.
09:27Hello, Edgar.
09:28Been well?
09:37Damien!
09:39Ooh!
09:40You're a beauty!
09:41How about we let your little brother go and have some fun?
09:44Not a chance.
09:45I don't date men who hit children.
09:48Ugh!
09:49Are you okay?
09:51I'm fine.
09:52Are you?
09:55Who said you could leave?
09:57What's going on here?
10:01Is the boy all right?
10:03Yes.
10:04Thank you, Captain Rhea.
10:06Captain Rhea, this is Damien.
10:09Damien, she guards this town.
10:11While I don't think leaving a boy with a witch is wise,
10:15he seems willing to stay.
10:17I have no objections.
10:21Thank you, Rhea.
10:24Captain Rhea, will you teach me swordmanship?
10:29Why?
10:31I need to become stronger.
10:33I'm a tough master.
10:35I won't care that you're a child.
10:39That won't be a problem.
10:49Well, that was easy.
10:51Predictable.
10:52You win the bet.
10:55Idiots.
10:55They'll be flogged.
10:59I was angry.
11:01Angry that I was too weak.
11:03That someone touched her.
11:05That she had to protect me.
11:08I need to become stronger.
11:10For her.
11:16Is this the last dish?
11:18It is, Master.
11:29What are you doing out here?
11:31Waiting for you.
11:34I have a surprise for you.
11:36One.
11:37Two.
11:39Three.
11:40Three.
11:44You did this for me?
11:46You said you didn't know your real birthday.
11:49So I'm using the day we met.
11:51There's no way I wouldn't like it.
11:54It has a protection spell.
11:55It'll keep you safe when I'm not around.
11:58I'll never take it off.
12:07She doesn't know what she's done.
12:09In this world, a witch giving a protective charm infused with her own magic
12:13is essentially marking someone as hers.
12:25I wonder if she'd be embarrassed if she knew.
12:30According to the novel, the witch dies when Damien is around 15, killed in a demon attack.
12:36That gives me roughly two and a half years.
12:39I need a plan.
12:41I refuse to die according to some plot.
12:45Reserve purification spells.
12:47I have modern knowledge, 150 years of witch experience, and sheer stubbornness.
12:52That demon doesn't stand a chance.
13:05Are we gonna return if she's dead?
13:09$1.
13:21$2.
13:27ཁ Jinz
13:38you learn too quickly it's unnatural is that a compliment it's an observation
13:44the witch does she know what you are i told you not to interfere i'm not interfering i'm asking
13:50if you're being honest with the person who saved your life she deserves to know boy before it's too
14:04late what show yourself
14:26a demon scout they're watching testing the barrier's strength in the novel the demon attack
14:34doesn't happen for another two years but scouts appearing this early hugh my mitre on stellies
14:43the coer stops
14:48i need more time
14:51something wrong nothing just routine maintenance go to bed damien you're lying
14:57there was something at the barrier probably just a wandering creature i reinforced it we're safe
15:03if we're not safe tell me i will i promise
15:08your boy's got a head for business miss seraphina you don't guess we know in sailen
15:13he's better at math than i am

15:23i make them myself i represent the thornwill trading company we'd pay handsomely for exclusive supply
15:30rights i appreciate the offer but i prefer to sell locally everyone has a price my dear
15:44she said no
15:48he was disrespectful
15:50what am i going to do with you that merchant worried me not because of the offer but because
15:56attention from trading companies means attention from nobles and attention from nobles means
16:00attention from people who might recognize what damien is
16:04he has grown significantly master both physically and otherwise
16:16master i encountered demon scent in the eastern forest multiple trails they are circling your
16:22territory how many at least five different scents and one was very old very powerful
