Boy Aurus
 |
"I look snappy! Your argument is invalid!"
—Aurus

 |
Apprentice wizard Aurus drinks the immortality potion after his master Demir who intended to drink it died while it was cooking. However, other wizards want immortality too. Unfortunately, the main ingredient is the left eyeball of the current immortal.
Eternally naive Aurus looks for happy things to fill his immortal life with, but it always becomes more complicated than getting some more candy as he has a knack for inciting people to inflict violence upon him.
