Orwinter High

RDbrand

Orwinter High looks like any normal school in Tokyo. But hidden after hours- unbeknownst to the school or the outside world- is the Heartache Club. Officially, it’s a support group. In truth, its members wield strange, emotion-fueled powers to hunt down Abstracts — shadowy monsters born from human negativity. Abstracts threaten reality itself. Only the Heartache Club stands between them and the world. At Orwinter High, heartbreak isn’t just pain—it’s war.

Author's Note: On the surface, Orwinter High is nothing more than an ordinary public school nestled in the heart of Tokyo. Its brick walls echo with the typical noise of teenage life: locker doors slamming, cafeteria chatter, the low buzz of fluorescent lights during exams. Students complain about math homework, daydream about prom, and hurry to make the subway before dark. Parents see it as just another stepping stone toward college and adulthood. But tucked away behind the mundane façade lies a secret — a hidden war being waged in the shadows of the city. In a forgotten corner of the school beneath a flickering hallway light, the Heartache Club meets after hours. To teachers and classmates, it's rumored to be a support group for students dealing with breakups and teenage drama — the name alone draws a few teasing smiles. But the reality is far stranger, and far more dangerous. Heartache is not a club. It’s a frontline defense. Its members are chosen — or perhaps cursed — with abilities tied to their deepest emotions: grief, rage, longing, shame, love. These emotions act as conduits, unlocking strange and powerful gifts that allow them to combat creatures known only as Abstracts. Born from the festering negativity in human hearts, Abstracts creep in from another plane, feeding on despair, anxiety, and chaos. They slip through unseen cracks in reality and take root in dark alleys, empty classrooms, and digital voids — slowly infecting the world. Only the Heartache Club sees them for what they truly are. Only they can stop them. Each member fights their own demons, both literal and internal, as they struggle to balance algebra tests and monster hunting, SAT prep and saving lives. With each battle, the line between the real world and the world of shadows thins — and the burden grows heavier. No one else knows. No one else can help. Because at Orwinter High, heartbreak doesn’t just hurt. It bleeds.

Astral Projection

Necromancy•Level 9

Description

You and up to eight willing creatures within range project your astral bodies into the Astral Plane (the spell fails and the casting is wasted if you are already on that plane). The material body you leave behind is unconscious and in a state of suspended animation; it doesn't need food or air and doesn't age. Your astral body resembles your mortal form in almost every way, replicating your game statistics and possessions. The principal difference is the addition of a silvery cord that extends from between your shoulder blades and trails behind you, fading to invisibility after 1 foot. This cord is your tether to your material body. As long as the tether remains intact, you can find your way home. If the cord is cut-something that can happen only when an effect specifically states that it does-your soul and body are separated, killing you instantly. Your astral form can freely travel through the Astral Plane and can pass through portals there leading to any other plane. If you enter a new plane or return to the plane you were on when casting this spell, your body and possessions are transported along the silver cord, allowing you to re-enter your body as you enter the new plane. Your astral form is a separate incarnation. Any damage or other effects that apply to it have no effect on your physical body, nor do they persist when you return to it. The spell ends for you and your companions when you use your action to dismiss it. When the spell ends, the affected creature returns to its physical body, and it awakens. The spell might also end early for you or one of your companions. A successful dispel magic spell used against an astral or physical body ends the spell for that creature. If a creature's original body or its astral form drops to 0 hit points, the spell ends for that creature. If the spell ends and the silver cord is intact, the cord pulls the creature's astral form back to its body, ending its state of suspended animation. If you are returned to your body prematurely, your companions remain in their astral forms and must find their own way back to their bodies, usually by dropping to 0 hit points.
