<p>In the year 3027 humanity makes a breakthrough, the first interdimensional portal to another world is opened, and a candidate is sent through.</p> <p>He died immediately upon arrival.</p> <p>It is now the year 3047, and humanity prepares to send a second candidate, this time equipped with the tools and equipment necessary to survive in this hostile world. A world of wizards and sorcery, fueled by an energy previously unknown to science: mana. An energy which proves to be deadly to the human body.</p> <p>Emma Booker is a 19 year old ROTC candidate chosen for this task, to fulfill the requirements set by this magical realm known only as The Nexus, as they demand a college-age candidate enroll in a magical academy. The candidate will be tested and assessed to prove their worth, and by extension, the worth of their home realms.</p> <p>Yet all is not as it seems, and there is more lurking underneath this bright and fantastical world of High Fantasy.</p> <p>Challenges will befall Emma as she navigates everything from ancient magical conspiracies, to political intrigue amongst her noble peers. She will face threats both existential, and personal.</p> <p>Even the act of eating and drinking will prove to be a major challenge, as she has to do all of this whilst trapped inside a suit of power armor designed to protect her from the dangers of mana.</p> <p>Armed with a sidearm, a laser cannon, a railgun, and raw human wit bolstered by an AI, Emma will have to choose between a careful balance of strength and diplomacy to see herself through her first year at the Transgracian Academy for the Magical Arts.</p> <p>The awesome art cover is by TexD41 on Twitter!</p> <p>Please Note: The story is currently being ported over from Reddit to Royal Road at a rate of about 1 chapter a day until we're caught up with the latest chapter, which at the time of writing is Chapter 35! After which, I will be posting at my usual rate of one chapter a week!</p>
