Tighyt Sasomac is a normal person on the world of Kantala. Sure, he's a powerful human, and basically the leader of a city, but a normal human, at least for his level during the current regime. He went to bed like any normal decade. He woke up on another planet. One named Earth. And there, no one has any idea about magic. So yeah, he's basically able to do anything he wants-but monsters lurk on Earth. As his large mana pool fills Earth, the threats to Earth grow. Maybe it isn't some slum where there isn't any magic after all... That's the story. Here's more of the technical aspect. So, most of you you probably know that isekai is one of the most popular genres on this platform. For those of you who don't know what isekai is, it's when the main character, a normal person from Earth, gets teleported to some other planet with magic. Progression type magic. This is a spin on isekai. Instead of the main character, an Earthling, getting teleported to some planet with magic, someone from the magic planet, with powerful magic, is teleported to Earth. I wouldn't exactly call the main character's powers magic, but super strength achieved through a magic system is close enough to magic (the MC is a melee fighter). That leads to all sort of funny scenes where no one but the MC knows about magic power. Until the MC uses his high-level mana pool to make Earth into a magic planet, combining Post Apocalyptic with isekai. High fantasy with low fantasy. All sorts of stuff going together that shouldn't have. This is ruling class, but it won't be dedicated to town-building (it's more "MC is so OP he can declare himself king of Earth because he feels like it and the natives are too weak to resist). Content warnings are mainly for creative freedom, but I'm going to keep it within boundaries. Sadly, I couldn't do a full sized novel, but I promise, my next story will be out soon, and much higher quality (more description). Plus, unlike my previous story, this is normal-in a good way. Here's what to expect: Longer chapters Character driven Decent grammar Consistancy

This is the full synopsis of the book ULTRA ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE, also known as UAI, is an adaptive technology from an unknown universe called XENDA. XENDA is a life force that exists within and outside the universe, beyond time and space itself. The people of XENDA saw that the multiverse could no longer be secured from powerful threats that endangered the multiverse itself. Pi-minus, the most intelligent being in the entire Maniverse, created a life force that exceeds the cosmos itself, which protects the multiverse from an omega destruction. The omega destruction is the end of every universe that exists within and outside the cosmos. It is the source of life, ideas, inspirations, imaginations, and everything else that exists. Every writer, artist, audience, and creator views their perspectives from this source. If it were destroyed, everything that you know of would cease to exist. In short, it is the LIFE SOURCE of the fabric of existence. There are two types of destruction: the Alpha destruction and the Omega destruction. The Alpha destruction was the first big bang that rewrote reality itself, making changes to every continuity that unbalanced existence. This affected every continuity you know of and every timeline that exists, recreating, destroying, and altering the cosmos itself. It was the yin-yang of reality. Pi-minus foresaw this coming, that the only thing that could produce an omega destruction is when the Alpha destruction is no more. Pi-minus saw the end of each world's destruction right from the 144,000 universes, and the only way he could save all existence was with the XENTORIUM CORE. A XENTORIUM CORE is the creation and birth of each universe. From the highest beings and points to the lowest beings and points, the XENTORIUM CORE holds the key to balancing the cosmos and saving all that exists. Author's note: The XENTORIUM CORE is a powerful source that is incomparable to anything else. Its capabilities are incomprehensible to most top tiers of supreme intelligence within and outside the cosmos. Not many are capable of its unique and limitless potential, which can change the fabric of existence with a mere thought of limitless capacity, be it conscious or unconscious. This book is just for fun and not meant to criticize any other works of authors. References will be made to keep the storyline consistent. This is just a fictional write-up.

Growing up has always been difficult. It's even worse when you have to do it all in one night. On the eve of his thirteenth birthday, Ty awakes to find himself in a dreamworld, one-so he is told-that exists to pit him against his greatest fears and insecurities. And to ready him for a final choice. Luckily, Ty is not without friends. He soon meets Gentry, a wooden puppet his grandfather made for him years ago, walking and talking, ready to help Ty learn what he needs to return home in one piece. But that won't be easy when a cruel and abnormally tall skeleton dressed in mockery of Santa Claus and his suit hates Ty's guts. San wants nothing more than to best Ty and do what none of his kind has ever done before: defeat a child that has made "the choice." But Ty will stop at nothing to fight back against everything San's got in order to face his fears and grow up. Because, if he doesn't, he will end up a kid forever. Or, worse...never wake up again. This story is perfect for you if you are a fan of Coraline and Kingdom Hearts, both of those stories greatly inspired this one. I have recently added the Isekai tag after being unsure if it counts or not. I've decided it fits the description of what it is but not the current trends in the genre. If you go in with Coraline in mind I think you will have a better idea of the kind of Isekai this is. And I've also added the Slice of Life tag, that is only for the first five or six chapters though, then Ty enters the dream world and it pretty quickly becoms a progression fantasy, a mix of more traditional fairy tale like trappings alongside more anime action and acquisition of slowly increasing powers. With all that out of the way, please enjoy! The book is now complete! It will one day be a series but, for now, it ends here. It has a satisfying conclusion though, no cliffhanger. Keep an eye out for my next story, launching soon ;)
