Nikolai is a time traveler and dimension jumper.

In Nikolai's dimension, everyone is born with a certain type of magic (and the ability to learn potions, rituals, and whatnot, which are powered with their own energy). Nikolai was gifted with the ability to time travel; however, he cannot affect the past and can only observe, unseen, and has to be extremely careful in the future, lest he change his own timeline and create a paradox that will probably result in his death. A powerful magic user recognized the use of Nikolai's gift and his skill with magic-altering rituals, and took Nik on as a student, where Nik met his soulmate and future husband.

After years of training and learning with their master, Nikolai and his husband (Lio) start getting cocky and decide to experiment with some very sensitive and strong magic; the ritual goes wrong, and Lio disappears as a result. Unable to bring his husband back, Nik keeps attempting more dangerous rituals in attempt to alter his own magic, with little success. When Nik's master is killed as well, he resorts to delving into the underworld and finds Holocene, a demon who tells Nik how to dimension jump, a difficult and forbidden type of magic that just happens to fit well with Nikolai's current magical gifts.

After weeks of preparation, Nikolai attempts the dimension jumping ritual for the first time. Though the ritual succeeds, Nik disturbs something (call it an eldritch horror) in the extradimensional void that decides to start following him through time and space. Now stalked by a terrifying predator that he can't track or predict, Nikolai must jump through time and space trying to protect himself while searching desperately for a way to bring his husband back to him.
