Volkov. Gymnasium No. 6

Defender of the destitute, savior, hero, knight without fear or reproach?.. Nothing of the sort. Sorcerer, warlock, shapeshifter ─ that's what they called me. And there is actually nothing to argue about ─ I really earned a rather peculiar reputation... even among my kind. One so peculiar that it would have been easier to retire. But how could I not help my former colleagues when the whole world is going to ruin?
If only I had known back then how it would all end!
A tiny mistake in the ritual ─ and here I am, I don't even know where. It's 1909, the world is ruled by aristocrats endowed with Talent, and all sorts of evil is crawling out of the Breaches right onto the streets of St. Petersburg. No friends, no acquaintances, no money, no title ─ only an unfamiliar thin body, a gymnasium cap, and the pitiful remnants of past abilities.
But what difference does it make? Work is work.
