How to Escape a Time Loop (We Have No Idea)

The academy is worthless. The grimoire is cursed. And the loop? It doesn’t want to end.



Westhex Academy used to be prestigious. Now it’s the lowest of the low—a dead-last school for dropouts, delinquents, and future bronze-ranked adventurers at best… or criminals at worst.



When a cocky troublemaker named Rai accidentally awakens a forgotten golden grimoire—Ashbell, a living book with a lot of attitude—he and his equally unfortunate classmates Niko and Lia find themselves stuck in a strange cycle. Time bends, reality glitches, and people forget what just happened yesterday. All the while, Ashbell keeps whining, begging, and occasionally screaming at them to read his pages.



What begins as a typical magical assignment—"explore the creepy abandoned building behind school"—soon unravels a mystery tied to Westhex’s downfall, secret loops in time, and forgotten contracts signed in blood and gold.



Why is a powerful artifact bound to a failing school?

What happens when all 444 pages are read?

And can you break the cycle… before it breaks you?



A comedic dark-fantasy romp full of sass, spells, and the occasional skateboarding fire-wheel—Ashbell is what happens when magic school flunks, but the story refuses to die.
