I Got Reincarnated As The Ancient Mage! [Strong MC], [Isekai], [Progression], [Slow Burn]

Maia Hearthwood should have died. Killed during a robbery, her life came to an inglorious end. Except that it didn't. As fate would have it, her passing coincided with a dying mage looking for a replacement. Now stuck in the body of Ur-Mage Aurelia, Maia finds herself with a mission: to save the world and all the mortal races from an eldritch apocalypse. To achieve that, she'll have to bluff, cheat and brute-force her way through a chaotic world that seems to have a chronic refusal of good advice.  Follow her as she takes the role of a hidden power, going from advising village adventurers to steering whole kingdoms, to teaching the Chosen Hero. How hard can it be being the wise mage?  WHAT TO EXPECT - Strong MC, but unable to use her powers in the open. - Progression from Strong to OP, but there are always worthy opponents to fight.  - Being the wise advisor and other sneaky ways to improve people. - A fantasy world packed with problems to solve and an Eldritch Apocalypse to work against.  - Slow-burn adventure with plenty of characters and places - From Village Problem-Solving to World-Turning Machinations.
