Description: [edit] [history]

Transmigrated to another world, Ethan Blackthorne struggles to survive as a stranger in a strange land where magic users are feared and revered.

-=-=-=-

Walking to the canteen after another day of failing classes at Miskatonic university, engineering major Ethan Blackthorne is enveloped by a ball of aluminium foil and spat into the mud under an alien sky. After spending a few weeks in the wilderness and contracting with various spirits, he emerges from the hidden valley where he arrived and explores his new world. Encountering a cliché situation where bandits are attacking a caravan, he learns that he is a bit over-powered, makes some new friends, gets caught up in political intrigue and a brewing war for the right of succession.-=-=-=-

British English. VERY Slow burn.

I Write Garbage. Run! Don't waste your time! You've been warned!I WILL LITERALLY LAUGH IF YOU COMPLAIN. :D :D :D

This tale is told from a conversational third-person limited viewpoint, so that means the MC and the Reader will usually not know why things happen or even misunderstand why they happen.

You know, kinda like real life. It can be boring AF sometimes.

There may be occasional shifts in POV as needed to advance the plot.

This story is rated PG-17.

There are no explicit sex scenes, but there is some cursing (MC is not a huge potty-mouth), naughty insinuations, adult situations, drug use, alcohol use, morally ambiguous situations, violence, gore, the over-use of semicolons, hyphens, Oxford commas, double spaces, and worst of all — em dashes.

You can also expect a healthy dash of medieval misogyny, racism, sexism, classism, xenophobia, and ignorance.

Releases are 1500 to 3000 words a couple of times per week. Tuesdays, Thursdays, and the occasional Saturday are my goal.

This is a blend of typical Japanese Portal/Isekai and European High Fantasy. There will be chapters devoted to crafting, shopping, dinners and lots of dialogue, punctuated with action, adventure, and improbably heroic hijinks.
