There was a narrator. Who told many stories, none of his own. He loved telling them to all the children in his village.
One day this narrator's stories came to life. The characters befriended the narrator, but wanted revenge on their original authors for not continuing the story or giving them a bad ending. The reeked havoc on the world for ten years.
One day a mage decided to do something about it. He sealed all the characters away, along with himself and the narrator, in the storybook. It worked well, however all magic has it's limitations. Until a day when lights lit the world even at night, a day when the world was completely different. That's when they would be reincarnated.

Hundreds of years later, the narrator was reborn as Crius Bard. He was very aware of his past life. And he didn't care. When he was in his early twenties he started a circus, unknowing that all of it's members were formerly the story characters and the mage. What will happen with the former rivals? What about the fairy tale characters?
