After standing in the afterlife for thousands of years, Noah Vines steals a second chance at life and wakes in the body of a dying magic-academy professor — Vermil Linwick's disgraced son, hated by students and faculty, poisoned and freshly dead from a monster ambush. With infinite resurrection as his hidden currency — every death costs only a soul-wound rather than finality — Noah must fake competence in a runic magic system he has never studied, rehabilitate a ruined reputation, protect a classroom of misfit students, and navigate a hostile noble House, a trapped demon mind-tenant named Azel, and a world of Inquisitors and assassination plots. Originally a Royal Road serial (68679) now stubbed for Kindle, the series is a confident academy progression fantasy where the protagonist's ignorance drives the reveal of the magic system alongside the reader, and where social survival matters as much as power.
