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.

Class-B Spar

Class B, even though only by a slight margin, was quieter and more disciplined. When the Instructor spoke, they listened, and her orders were executed nearly immediately after she spoke them. 

If he were to compare the Class to anyone, it would be the military, and Agest, the Instructor, would be the drill sergeant, "Jeez, not even Akshar wants to mess with her…" He whispered to himself, seeing Akshar glued to his book, mentally practicing his kindergarten reading. 

As he whispered, he could feel stares suddenly shot at him from every direction in the Class; everyone in the Class heard him whispering even though they didn't quite hear what he was whispering. 

'They heard that?' He thought he couldn't risk whispering anymore; the students in the Class had not even uttered a word and not made a single noise from writing in their book, so the whisper, even though not loud, was heard by everyone.
