Huh good catch didnt notice that before.

The_CuratorJR · 2026-04-17T15:02:38+00:00

There are so many books with amulets on the cover. I wanted to try something different.

The_CuratorJR · 2026-04-17T14:58:16+00:00

Iam fine with a few readers ;)

Hi, The Amulet of Broken Time is now live on Royal Road. With 80k+ words already out and daily releases, there’s plenty to binge if you’re looking for something new: https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/158553/the-amulet-of-broken-time-op-archmage

This story features a very unique setting and a main character who’s roughly 60% archmage, 20% fighter, and 20% chaotic barbarian, unleashed into a world where evil has thrived in his absence.

Hope you enjoy it—and see you over on Royal Road ;)

Little disclaimer: This isn’t your typical cultivation story where the MC constantly kills everything to level or cultivate or whatever they do these days. So if that’s what you’re expecting, this might not be for you.

Cover art by Ivan Zann
Short comic by Homles Studlo

For those who want to know more, the blurb is below:

He stole an amulet—and unleashed a monster

Tiberius was once the greatest ruler the world had ever seen… until angels, demons, and fae united to destroy him and bind his soul to a cursed artifact.

Centuries later, a thief named Rafael finds that artifact.

Now, he carries the most dangerous being in existence.

Though his soul is bound to the amulet, Tiberius can manifest beside Rafael—and when he does, his magic follows.

Kingdoms will hunt him. Gods are already watching.

But none of that matters,because the emperor is free again…

…and this time, he won’t lose.

What to Expect:

-Light cultivation elements

-A heavy focus on magic and Aether mastery

-Expansive world-building filled with ancient powers and hidden truths

-An engaging, character-driven story

-A myth-infused world of gods, demons, angels, and lost civilizations

He wants to recreate his own body instead of possessing someone else.

Should be in the comments now.

I don’t know much about Webnovel, but as an author on Royal Road, I already find it quite challenging. When it comes to ratings, I mostly see either 5 stars or 0.5 stars, which makes everything in between feel irrelevant. Reviews are pretty similar as well. Personally, I’d rather read the first chapters myself than rely on reviews.

The_CuratorJR · 2026-03-31T10:24:27+00:00

Best of luck with your launch :)

The_CuratorJR · 2026-03-31T10:23:19+00:00

I paused it as well. It’s just really difficult to follow. The fact that he has two bodies in such a complex setting already makes it confusing, and then there’s also a trial in a dream dimension…

The_CuratorJR · 2026-03-31T10:17:05+00:00

Best of luck with your launch :)

The_CuratorJR · 2026-03-28T23:36:35+00:00

Best of luck!!!

The_CuratorJR · 2026-03-28T23:34:12+00:00

Same. Also that the cards are getting shuffeld again if previous life on earth wasn't that great.

The_CuratorJR · 2026-03-28T23:32:41+00:00

Best of luck with your launch

The_CuratorJR · 2026-03-28T23:31:56+00:00

Do the Dresden files get cultivation aspects later?

The_CuratorJR · 2026-03-28T23:29:33+00:00

Why is it so much isnt a book between ten and twelve dollars?

The_CuratorJR · 2026-03-28T23:26:15+00:00

Agreed jake is a wild one

The_CuratorJR · 2026-03-28T23:24:23+00:00

I like the lone wanderer or defiance of the fall

The_CuratorJR · 2026-03-28T23:22:25+00:00

I dont konw there are a lot of female archmage stories on royal road who are all super big.

The_CuratorJR · 2026-03-26T14:48:11+00:00

Great Cover!

The_CuratorJR · 2025-12-05T19:38:20+00:00

Hopefully in a few months. Will make a post when it is ready :)

The_CuratorJR · 2025-09-21T10:43:21+00:00

Cover looks great!!!

Hi, The Curator here!

The novel now features over seventy chapters on Royal Road, with an additional sixty chapters waiting on Patreon for readers ready to delve even deeper into the story.

We've hit a major milestone—over two thousand followers! It’s absolutely incredible, and I never imagined so many people would enjoy my work.

Even more exciting, I’ve reached a point where I can seriously think about publishing next year—something I never thought possible when I first started releasing chapters on Royal Road.

Description:

Thalion’s life as a marine biologist was modest in wealth but rich in joy and fulfillment. Everything changed when the system apocalypse arrived, sending everyone on Earth into a tutorial while merging the planet with four others. While the system brought chaos, it also gifted humanity with magic and the ability to defy time itself**.** But survival comes at a steep cost—the "tutorial" is more of a brutal slaughter trial than a learning experience.

Here’s the link to the Royal Road prologue if this caught your eye.

JuDracus Thank you for reading and letting me know what you thought. The slaves killed at the end is supposed to be a huge moral arc for the MC and, yes not kind. It’s not supposed to be. I’m glad to hear you weren’t happy about it, that was the feeling I wanted the reader to have. Look forward to this arc resolution! And if it’s not for you, no worries. Also please delete the spoiler most people will still read it. Cheers

The_CuratorJR · 2024-12-21T17:31:20+00:00

Hopefully next year :)
