Ardenth Academy

He’s saved the world across countless lifetimes. Now he just has to survive a magical academy.

Ancient archmage Lucien has lived through centuries of brutal time loops and catastrophic wars. When he is reborn - yet again - into the body of a disgraced nineteen-year-old noble, he has one simple goal: suppress his god-tier magic, fake mediocrity, and finally get some rest.

Too bad his sarcastic cat familiar just enrolled him in Ardenth Academy.

At the continent's most cutthroat magical institute, blending in takes actual effort. Lucien is busy deliberately failing cardio and building flaws into his spells just to look average. But his cover is already cracking. Arrogant nobles are looking for a fight, brilliant professors are catching his "accidental" genius, and Liora - a stunning, dangerously perceptive demon combat-mage - is determined to unearth his secrets.

When a deadly dungeon exam forces Lucien to unleash his true, crimson-eyed power to save his newfound friends, the masquerade shatters.

The quiet life is over. It's time for the archmage to build a coven.
