Time travel is forbidden, but Suria didn't have a choice. When she transfers to Darkmoon University, the greatest magical academy in the world, she accidentally stumbles into a complex conspiracy that threw students into a time loop. Someone decided it was worth risking the death sentence in order to attain the unparalleled advantages of time travel... but Suria was never supposed to be there. Her education will be nothing like she expected as she attempts to solve a conspiracy too layered to possibly be unraveled in a single loop. What to expect:- Time loop with significant variation.- Magic academy setting with real focus on the academy.- Gradual non-LitRPG progression.- Detailed magic system with in-depth spell construction.- Series-spanning mysteries.- MC is intelligent, but will have to overcome other intelligent characters, not easily be the smartest character in the room.- Zero romance.- Chapters MWF, double-sized first chapter.
