Reincarnated. Rebuilt. Still no pants. Jamie thought surviving the Great Dryad Forest would be the hard part. He was wrong. Now officially part of the Affinity Magic Academy, Jamie is thrown into his Excursion Term—real missions, real danger, and no safety nets. Paired with Aeryndra Valewyn, a disgraced noble with zero patience and too much talent, things go bad fast. Because the forest has changed. Or maybe Jamie has. Monsters aren’t just stronger now. They’re smarter. Some don’t attack you directly. Some just make sure you never realize you’re in danger at all. Even Ember’s instincts aren’t enough anymore. Which means Jamie needs to evolve—or die. With new abilities, growing power, and a team that’s becoming something more than temporary allies, Jamie is about to learn that leveling up isn’t the same as being ready. And this time— The world is paying attention.
