"Trapped in a time loop – pursued by magic that could destroy him." Naethan dreamed of becoming a mage and earning his place at the legendary Academy of Valmor. But a mysterious crystal, entrusted to him by his mentor, Master Alaric, has changed everything. After a catastrophic mistake, Naethan finds himself caught in an endless time loop – and with each cycle, the pull draining his life force grows stronger. Each repetition forces him to master the mana deep within himself – a power that is slowly consuming him. But the loop is not just a curse; it offers him opportunities he never would have had: forging secret alliances, accepting dangerous tasks, and unraveling the web of intrigue surrounding the Academy. Why was Master Alaric so desperate to rid himself of the crystal? What hidden power lies within the enigmatic box Naethan must deliver to Valmor on behalf of a stranger? And how can he use the loop to ensure his survival? The closer he gets to his goal, the clearer it becomes that the crystal is far more than a magical artifact – its power could alter not just Naethan’s life, but the fate of the entire world. But will he master the loop, or will it ultimately consume him?
