Zorian is a teenage mage of humble birth and slightly above-average skill, attending his third year of education at Cyoria’s magical academy.

He is a driven and irritable young man, consumed by a desire to ensure his own future and free himself of the influence of his family, whom he resents for favoring his brothers over him. Consequently, he has no time for pointless distractions or paying attention to other people’s problems.

As it happens, time is something he is about to get plenty of. On the eve of the Cyoria’s annual summer festival, he is killed and brought back to the beginning of the month, just before he was about to take a train to Cyoria.

Suddenly trapped in a time loop with no clear end or exit, Zorian will have to look both within and without to unravel the mystery before him. And he does have to unravel it, for the time loop hadn’t been made for his sake and dangers lurk everywhere…

Repetition is the mother of learning, but Zorian will have to first make sure he survives to try again — in a world of magic, even a time traveler isn’t safe from those who wish him ill. Collapse

    A must-read, without doubts! Certainly, there's quite a number of problems and issues that may annoy some people, but still, is by far the best time-looping work I have read or even heard.

    Funnily enough, the hardest part of a novel based on time-loop is apparently maintaining the story interesting enough even while 'repeating' things again and again while avoiding plot-holes, and hell, this author managed to do that very well in my opinion.

    Maybe because of this, even though some of the side-characters aren't that well developed or even similar to each other, it doesn't seem to be a problem, for the author always find a way of freshening the occurring events in a way that things continue to be new while using things that already repeated before.

    The pace of the novel is what I fear may annoy some people but I sincerely liked it. The novel itself has VERY big chapters, each quite complete as a whole, rarely leaving that damned cliff-hanger behind, so it helps the reader to refresh a bit before jumping to the next - meaning, the author isn't the type of abusing of bridge-effect to roll the things.

    A must-read, but there are several problems but overall pretty good novel.

    Just finished reading and what a ride of an ending, holy shit that was... actually pretty good. There are some problems with pacing, some important stuff happens like really fast, like in the same chapter it's solved and other stuff that isn't that important or repetitive is prolonged through the novel which isn't that annoying but still, the world building is a little bit underwhelming, apart from what we see through the time loop there is little information about the world apart from recent (or not so recent) wars.

    I didn't find characters personalities that similar, certainly there is similarity but not enough to be particularly remarkable, maybe it's because I created some traits of the characters in my mind unconsciously without they being in the novel hence I think they are different, to be honest I don't know, but the novel is pretty good, and I liked almost everything.

    Idk why this site is suddenly adding so many royalroad novels. Like sure increased exposure is cool but literally all royalroad novels are already available to read entirely for free on that site so you might as well just go read them on there.

      I think it's useful because sometimes when I get recommended something I don't know if it's a book novel, from webnovel, from royal road, or from some other random website. That's why I like this website, because it gathers all of them

      A lot of the good novels on royal road have amazon deals and private their stories or just leave the first 20 or so chapters to hook you in.

    absolutely loved it
    although some characters have veeery similar personalities its a really well thought and well planned story
    the time looping was a really interesting idea and it was well executed imo
    definitely a good read

      It's a strange question ... You didn't think that we would only post something exclusive, did you?

      If the book is good then why not publish it?

    I love Zorian, from a selfish teenager to an adult who values ​​family and friends.

    and don't forget from mediocre Mage to the most Powerful Mindmage.
