About this game
Start your path as a simple human — and build your own story of becoming a true mage. Plan your daily routines, manage carefully crafted lists of actions, and steadily improve every aspect of your magical life.
Explore a rich and expanding world full of opportunities. Unlock new actions, resources, and systems at your own pace — and discover how much there is to unfold. Every hour brings something new: a potion to brew, an upgrade to earn, a choice that shapes your next step.
Design your workflow by combining manual tasks and automated sequences. Experiment with dozens of magical materials, learn powerful spells, and customize your home with furniture that provides meaningful bonuses.
Whether you play actively or prefer passive growth, your journey continues — even while you're away.
🔹 Core Features

No Prestige System
Your progress is permanent. No forced resets or repetitive loops — only forward momentum.
Flexible Skill Tree
Specialize your mage with a vast skill tree that adapts to your current needs — you can reassign skills during your journey to suit different strategies.
Customizable Home
Build and upgrade your private space with furniture that boosts your actions, automation, and progression efficiency.
