Created then adapted after 5 months.... Then it must be at least enjoyable.
Hopefully something like Shokugeki no Soma get adapted.

Yup, that was fast.

I bet it will be TV
Studio Gokumi itself is editor of this LN,so don't need to worry about not enough volumes.

So long as it's not a case of the 1 volume premise that so many LN's have (running through their entire premise in 1 volume and then stretching the plot as thinly as possible for many novels as possible). and doesn't throw away its dignity like so many goddamn light novels out there which include tons of garbage tropes upon garbage tropes to tell its story (Including fanservice galore), i might give it a try. But the premise looks exciting, so that's already a plus for me.
Then again, good premise sometimes doesn't guarantee good executions. Take Mahouka and Black Bullet for example. Both are works brimming with potential yet gimped so badly in executions. Black Bullet ended up being so deaf narratively while Mahouka was flat out bore. The result? I dropped both shows just few days ago.

Come out only 5 months ago AND there's not even a more fleshed out, thorough synopsis?
Okay.
Okay.

Probably, but I sure hope not. From that meager description, this could be pretty interesting, and I'm not even a big fan of fantasy.

Further investigation (yes I really knew this little about this series) has shown that this light novel is from a label that didn't exist until late last year. Being published by PONY CANYON as it is, can we expect to see more series from this label getting announced for anime adaptations over the coming months and years?
Here are the series they publish, by the way:
http://www.ponicanbooks.jp/reading/
Obviously some of those are adaptations themselves of things that already have anime.

Anyone knows where I can read this thing?

You realize that baka tsuki hardly have 1/1000th of the existing LN in its lists. Especially if you remove all the LN which already have an anime adaptation, the remaining list is short.
The chances of finding it in Baka tsuki (not looking down on baka tsuki btw, they're doing an awesome job, but there's just far too many LN around there for them to be translated) were far lower than the contrary.
Also, in othr words, now that this is getting an anime adaptation, there is more chance than people will start asking for the translation of this novel than before.
Also, probably a 10 episodes anime, similar to Mondaiji series, which also adapted only the volumes 1& 2.

Unlikely, Enterbrain has too many Famitsu Bunko series that sell better than Psycome (like Hikaru, Hiera-Glaphicos, Altina, Dress na Boku[...]) and would thus be more profitable for them to make an anime of before considering making an adaptation of Psycome.
I do believe a Psycome adaptation is highly likely.
The staff there really loves the award-winning series.
