I never had a destiny. I was raised by a crime lord who taught me how to steal first, run fast second, and never believe in happy endings. I tried to quit that life. Tried to be normal. Tried to hold onto the few connections I managed not to ruin. I failed. Then art dragged me somewhere it shouldn’t exist—a world that mirrors Earth’s dreams, obsessions, and forgotten memories. A place shaped by ambition, myth, and the lingering echoes of everything humanity ever wanted to be. That’s where my magic woke up. Now I can bend reality through Artistic Creation—turn ideas into power, symbols into weapons, and masterpieces into miracles. Every stroke changes the world. Every creation leaves a mark. And the higher I climb, the harder it becomes to tell where the art ends and I begin. My name is Alexandra May. I am the Archmage of the Domain of Artistic Creation. Eyes in the Sky. The Memory Weaver. The Angel Slayer. The Color Bender. Friend to Shadows. The Thief who stole the World. And this is my story. Ideworld Chronicles: The Art Mage has: Non-LitRPG progression from daredevil thief to reality-bending archmage Deep, original magic systems Art-based crafting that actually matters A parallel world shaped by dreams, ambition, collective consciousness, and history Identity, self-expression, and the cost of creation taken seriously A main character who starts scrappy and ends terrifying UPDATES: New chapters on: Monday/Wednesday/Friday Side stories: unscheduled Read Ahead on Patreon!
