Synopsis

High school student Kenji Sato is failing P.E. and barely scraping by in Applied Thaumaturgy, but his real challenge is his part-time job: being the keeper of Fumo, a powerful, four-eyed demon sealed into the form of a disgruntled, floating fluffball. The seal is simple—an ancient Talisman—but there’s a massive logistical problem: it keeps falling off!

​Kenji’s only recourse is to secure the sacred seal with a generous application of heavy-duty, industrial packing tape. It’s effective, but it’s an embarrassing testament to his supernatural struggles.

​If the seal fails, Fumo will destroy the world. If he doesn't strategically use Fumo’s contained demonic power, the shadow will succeed. Kenji must now navigate algebra class, protect his crush, and find a way to patch a tear in reality—all before the demon sticker gives way.

Note from author

Hey everyone!

​Thank you so much for checking out The Talisman and the Floofball! This is my entry for the Monthly Writing Challenge, and I’m having a blast writing this chaotic mix of high school drama and urban fantasy.

​Kenji’s life just got way more complicated in Chapter 4, now that Fumo the Void-Eater is unsealed, talking, and hungry. The mystery of Akira’s emotional anchor is the key to stopping the rift, and I can promise things are about to get intense (and still very, very awkward for Kenji).

​If you’re enjoying the story, please drop a comment or hit the like button—it genuinely helps the novel get seen on the platform and keeps me fueled for the next chapter!
