The hardest thing about being a mage of of calamity... is having to hold back. Veronica's magic isn't subtle. It's cataclysmic. Specializing in widespread destruction magic, she could tear apart mountains, raze armies, and bury cities. She was the first and only mage to reach the 10th tier. Because of that, she was also humanity’s last hope against the demons. For years she fought their endless armies. All until the day she fell. Alone. Just as the world burned around her. But death was not the end. In her final moments, she was able to cast her soul back in time. Now nineteen again, she has years to prepare before the invasion begins anew. She must find allies, raise students, and rally forces to stand beside her. And this time, she's not alone. Equipped with her own personal system, she has all the resources she needs to reclaim her title. Because this time, she no longer bears the curse that bound her body in her previous life. She reached the 10th tier once while shackled. Now freed of her chains… who knows how far she can truly ascend?
