Full-Time Magister

Full-Time Magister is a long fantasy novel by the web author Luan, serialized on Chuangshi Chinese Network and Qidian from May 18, 2015, with its main storyline concluded in December 2020. The book runs about 7.87 million characters over more than three thousand chapters and is one of Qidian's landmark works. At the story's opening, the boy Mo Fan wakes up to find the world transformed: a society that revered science now reveres magic, historical figures have become legendary great mages, middle schools teach magic, and the high school entrance exam has become a magic assessment. In the wilderness beyond the cities roam monsters that may attack humans at any time, and humanity relies on mages and monster-hunting squads to guard civilization. Mo Fan comes from a poor family; his father sells off their property to send him to Tianlan Magic High School. At his magic awakening, he discovers he is naturally dual-element, majoring in lightning and fire, and cultivates far faster than his peers. From there he sets out from Bocheng, is admitted to Mingzhu Academy, distinguishes himself in the academy and the National Academy Tournament, fights alongside companions such as Zhang Xiaohou, Ye Xinxia, Mu Ningxue, Lingling, and Zhao Manyan, and repeatedly clashes with the Black Church, mage clans, and powerful monster forces. The work unfolds a worldview on a global scale—the totem black snake beneath West Lake, the undead army outside the ancient capital, the underworld king in the Egyptian pyramids, the dragon-taming clan of London, the Parthenon of Greece, the water city of Venice... Through repeated trials, Mo Fan advances level by level, from apprentice and novice all the way to super-tier and forbidden curse, ultimately becoming a top mage who guards human civilization.
