The Maximus Universe is a collection of Web Serial Novels written by Kevin Haulsee. At their core, they are a series of superhero-esque novels centered around individual protagonists in a high fantasy universe. It updates on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and the occasional Saturday. Each installment is also available through Amazon, for those who want the whole story all at once. ''Midnight'' is the story of Estelle Marona, a castaway taken in by a secretive order that trains her as an assassin. ''Spellweaver'' continues where Midnight left off, following the titular Belthor Spellweaver on his journey through wizarding school.

It Only Works Once: In one fight scene, one of Midnight's enemies performs a flawless Arrow Catch. Next time, another mook attempts the same tactic. The arrow promptly explodes.

comment
Jerk with a Heart of Jerk: Vivian is condescending, arrogant, and at least a little racist. When Belthor and Kui try to enlist her help in the finale, she almost literally laughs them off.

Affably Evil: Aurora and Ward don't speak an unkind word for the duration of the novel, but they also show no remorse for condemning their sixteen-year-old niece to death. Vaneer is also quite sociable...until he takes Estelle and Luna captive.

Badass Normal: Part of what kicks the main plot into gear: Estelle has no Gift, merely a talent for archery and hand to hand combat. Considering the Guiding Light had been secretly dosing her with potions designed to impart Gifts, they are very nonplussed.

Heroic Sacrifice: Callan Garredin pulling one of these is what really pushed Estelle into becoming such a great archer. Estelle herself attempts one in the finale, but Kulkas rescues her.
