The World Wanderer

Lives elsewhere. Only visits reality.

You know maps of countries that don't exist better than your own city. You say "the books are better" but watched every extended edition in one sitting. At every portal, wardrobe or rabbit hole, you seriously consider relocating.

You don't go to the movies, you emigrate. The denser the worldbuilding, the deeper you breathe: languages, family trees and magic systems aren't homework to you, they're local history. Coming back to the real world is the hardest part every time.

  • Portal-ready moverIf a portal opened today, you'd be packed in ten minutes. The bag is already by the door.
