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.

Rose Tower Part 4

"Ask? Then what? Kill a hundred innocent people for what? To get stronger? Because I can't get to the 8 circles of magic with my own will, with my own strength?! I won't stoop that low to gain power, not even for the power of a demigod." Erune replied, his face getting only redder with every word uttered. 

"I gave you a chance. Remember, ten wizards have taken my hand and have received an extra circle. And when you think about it, is it so bad?"

Erune hated to admit it, but the words that she said, sounded very alluring. He could remember the first time when he developed his first circle. At that time, he had considered it hard. And it continued at a proper pace till he managed to become a 5-circle wizard, in which he realized that it was starting to get a little bit harder to develop his circles. It took him nearly a decade to get to the 6th circle and to get to the 7th circle, a decade, and all of the fortune that he had accumulated.
