The game’s getting real, and the Headmaster’s past Is coming back to haunt him.

Victor, the enigmatic headmaster of the Sanctum of Interdimensional Magi, continues to guide his unsuspecting players deeper into a living, breathing world disguised as the most immersive VR game ever created. As players tackle grueling missions, hunt deadly magical beasts, and decipher spell models through real-world programming, they remain unaware they’re mere pieces on Victor’s board.

But even as the academy expands and attract more players, trouble’s brewing.

A viral video by a top-tier streamer starts turning heads… and not just among the players. Victor’s old enemies are back, bringing not only a hidden army, but the painful truth of Victor’s betrayal. Furthermore, they’re sniffing around the Thornwood Forest like they’ve got unfinished business. (Spoiler: they do.) Worst of all? They know who Victor really is.

As if that weren’t enough, the “game” is starting to feel a little too real, and the academy’s starting to attract attention from powers that shouldn't even exist anymore.

Will Victor finally ascend to official Magus status? Or will his shot at revenge—and his academy—come crashing down under the weight of the secrets he’s been keeping?

New players. Deadlier missions. Betrayal, strategy, and the rise of dungeon warfare.

Come join Victor as he continues to orchestrate Earth’s gamers as his pawns in a grand plan of vengeance. The second arc of My Magus Academy is Run by Players?! returns with higher stakes, brutal clashes, and a headmaster who refuses to let the past stay buried.
