What to expect from this story:-Mystery Drama-Anime-Extensive Surface Worldbuilding-Expanded History and Backstory-Magic System-More Magic-Both new and old people.-Feels.-Gambits.

Disclaimer: This fiction first began in 2015 and is still ongoing today in 2024. Old work may not reflect to current days in terms of writing quality.Due to the age of the work, I'm not looking for advice on to improve technical writing. I have an internal editor and a proofchecker that handles those matters.However, feel free to comment away at any pace you wish!

Cover is made by Tarable from Fallen Flowers.There are some Extra reading material that I would normally call the "Golden Side Orders". Please check them out for extra lore.First would be the magic lorebook called the Magus Compendium.

Next would be little snippets of past sidestories named Chronographer Records

Here's a little prequel oneshot named One Circle

Last but not least, The Lone Defender, same universe but darker circumstamces.
