The Loop of Blood and Carnage (Time Loop Urban Fantasy)

An isolated island city trapped in a time loop. A Battle Royale between twelve mages. And a Blood Mage who needs to get power - no matter the cost.

Kasper Animus arrived in the capital of the hidden Magic World, Neo Atlantis, not of his own will. Barely qualified to be called a mage, he is nothing but a disposable pawn to the Ancient Animus Clan. Still, being a pawn is fine, too, if it allows him to get a place in the most elite Magic Academy on Earth

Getting caught up in a time loop wasn't in his plans, though. It would be a delightful surprise if not for the fact that he is now a part of Twelve Zodiacs, those who use the time loop to their advantage while competing with each other to clear Trials - and he is the weakest out of them, by far. Failing a Trial isn't an option, as the result of failure is worse than death. Normally, Kasper wouldn't stand a chance, but he has a secret. He is a Blood Mage, and what could be better for him than having a whole city full of respawnable sacrifices?
