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.

Herculean Elixir

He remembered in one of the conversations that he had that 4 bronze coins were worth a good meal, and at a certain period of time, where the US government had managed to reduce the inflation by a lot, 10 dollars would be worth a good meal.

And if he were to do the math, this one potion in front of him would be worth at least 400 thousand dollars, 'I could buy a whole house… With this?'

It made sense, a potion that could instantly heal nearly every injury and sickness known to mankind; if he were to bring this potion back to his original planet, the billionaires there would probably pay at the very least a few million, and if there was only one in existence, they would auction it to the Pharmaceutical companies.

But one gold coin for 400 thousand dollars? He had seen some of the noble students paying other students 1 gold coin!

Just the thought of teenagers giving a whole house to one another was something that he couldn't imagine. 'This is just insane…'
