Pretending To Be God

George Sterling, once a successful lawyer turned actor, then turned magician, finds himself in dire straits as the rise of Artificial Intelligence takes away all his livelihoods. As he nears the end of his life, a family heirloom, a mysterious ring passed down from his father, transports him to an unfamiliar world seemingly distant from reality. Upon awakening, George discovers a newfound opportunity that awaits him. Initially tasked with portraying the Wizard of Oz to survive, he delves into this new role. However, as he embraces his new identity, an even greater challenge lies ahead: he must venture into the realm of pretending to be a god. This book uses characters and elements from L. Frank Baum's original Oz series which has entered the public domain and allows me to use them in my original book as long as I do not use the characters and elements from the adaptations that haven't entered the public domain.

Obstacle

What had been a symbol of luxury and neatness had now become a messy place exporting soldiers out of the City. 

The Castle had been sending as many as they could, the Emerald City guards, the Emerald City Special Forces, and the other soldiers to be transported to Veridiana, and it wasn't really to protect Veridiana but also themselves if somehow Veridiana falls, Emerald City, and Munchin Land which was just beside the Kingdom would eventually fall. 

George, who had just arrived, had no idea what was going on. He had meant to come here to bring good news to Micahel about their good chances of winning, but Michael was overlooking the operations, his whole clothing and face messy, which was very unusual for him, "Sir Michael!" George called out.

Although he would just call Michael by his name normally, outside he was a nobody compared to Michael and still had to call him with his honorary royalty title.
