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.

The Wizard Elius was a wizard from the Magic Tower of Veridiana, a highly experienced 6-circle wizard who lacked mana; well, a lot of male magicians lacked mana, and for many, 6 circles were the max. 

And even though they both were friends, now, Erune could see a different look on his face, "Don't tell me…"
