Paranoia and Magic

Markus was an intelligent man. The world he lived in contained no Gods, nor magic. And he knew that. However, that did not stop him from searching. In the process of his search for the supernatural, he died in an accident. But that was the outlet for his answers. Finding himself in an unknown world, he was given some of the knowledge of the Gods. Armed with this knowledge, he was ready to set out with his new life. But his biggest problem was not the unknown world, but the constant distrust he had with people. He knew he needed people to live, any thinking other than that was ignorant. But he always lived alone, fearing the things that people could do. The magic he was given was also a problem. The medieval-like world would have thought his ability to have been evil, even though Markus was a good man. Soon he would need to find a way to openly use magic while hiding its origins, but only till he was strong enough. ------------------------------------------------------------------- This is the first novel I have ever written; honestly, it might be my last. On this app, I've been struggling to find a novel that I enjoy. So, I might as well see how hard it truly is. Also, one of the main reasons why I gave Markus a distrust in people is because I'm not the biggest fan of romance. I also despise the idea of Harems. I might dive into the concept of romance, but honestly, I'm not interested. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Oh yeah, one more thing. Markus is going to have emotions and a personality. So if you like your protagonists as cringy edgelords that make stupid decisions and dumb one-liners, this is not the novel for you.
