Zeroing Observer: The Endless Path of Witchcraft

In the world of wizards, failed spells deserve only to be burned, and a reading of zero means everything is over.

Yet during an accident involving a harbor magic array, low-level apprentice Ino discovers that even though the warning lights have gone out and the magic reading has fallen to zero, the chains are still tightening.

Those forces deemed invalid have never truly disappeared.

With mediocre talent, no mentor, and not even enough money to rent a lab bench, he can only use discarded samples and records of mistakes to verify a truth no one is willing to acknowledge.

As wizard civilization consigns failure, responsibility, and even life itself to "zero," Ino must do more than create an entirely new form of witchcraft. He must also reclaim the power to define truth.

The endless path of the wizard begins with that one stroke that was erased.
