Time and soul magic are illegal. Sage just used both. With humanity nearly extinct, Sage remained the last line of defense. As the strongest archmage, nothing could stop her. Not even the strongest devils. Not even Kayra, her archmage best friend. When Sage finds out an archdevil has possessed Kayra, she slays her. Left all alone, Sage does what no mage is allowed to do: learn time and soul magic to revive her. Now, she has a new resolve. Sage will save humanity alongside a devil-free Kayra. Using a powerful artifact with her newfound magic, Sage returns as a clone of her past self, years before the war begins. Two bodies are better than one, and she’ll use her multiple bodies to recruit allies, find new artifacts, and gain power quicker than before. There’s just one problem. Sage must hide her new illegal, magic from the very people she’s trying to protect — or risk them turning against her before the invasion even starts.
