Jair Welburne has spent uncountable years trying to perfect every day, week, and month of his perpetually repeating lifetime, and yet it's never enough to change the one thing that matters most to him.

Until now. Break the baseline, and everything is different. It's a whole new lifetime to explore and optimize.

And just maybe this time he can save the people he cares about.

[Major revision to the original Maelstrom, with added and expanded story arcs, new and modified characters, and a lot more chaos!]

-Time looper, so expect lots of trial and error and repetition.

-Starts out physically and magically limited (apart from his overpowered sword) and gradually progresses up to his previous heights.

-Eternal friendship! High focus on his relationship.

-Fantasy worldbuilding! This world is not like most others, with a few specific alterations that drastically impact travel logistics and societal development.

-Chaos! Our dear MC might be a teeny bit on the insane side of the spectrum after all he's been through, so even if he seems to be fully rational at times, it probably won't last.
