Magic was chaos. Now it’s chemistry. Through Stoichiomancy, power is measured, quantified, and controlled. Ascension follows a strict ladder, each tier with a fixed number of sanctioned seats. There are no anomalies. Until Arielle Blacksoil. Born to a bloodline without magic, Arielle should have been invisible to the system. Instead, an accident reveals the impossible: She’s an unsanctioned archmage. If discovered, they’ll strip her power or turn her into a weapon. To survive, Arielle enrolls in the Academy and pretends to climb the ranks while hiding magic that eclipses her professors. For the first time in her life, she has rivals, teammates…maybe even friends. But hiding overwhelming power isn’t easy. Pretty soon, she’s embroiled in faction conflict, foiling villainous plots and hunting a mysterious primordial that lurks in the dark. --- - Updates M, T, Th, F (4X/Week) - 2500 - 3500 word chapters - OP MC - Hidden Genius at a Magic Academy - Magic System Blending Cultivation and Chemistry
