“We are the gods of our own universes, aren’t we? Destructive ones.”

The Atlas Six is the first in the series, and it started as a self-published work before it gained massive momentum online and was picked up for traditional publishing. Six students are selected by the mysterious Alexandrian Society, but the catch is that all of them can’t be accepted – only some. It’s a cutthroat magical higher education indeed, and I recommend it to those who are fans of character based stories.
