Technologyvsmagic Stories

A scientist enters a rift, conquers a fantasy world, and uncovers a great truth.

When a freak dimensional rift tears open during a joint mission in the Pacific, Raptor Team-elite soldiers clad in next-gen nanosuits powered by alien Ceph technology-find themselves hurled into the war-torn, magic-laced world of Randland. Stranded and cut off from everything they know, Nomad, Alcatraz, and Prophet must navigate a land ruled by prophecy, politics, and the mysterious One Power. But the Wheel of Time weaves as the Wheel wills. Their arrival sends ripples through the Pattern, catching the attention of Rand al'Thor, the Dragon Reborn, and his war-weary allies. As the forces of Light and Shadow collide, the strange immunity of the nanosuits to the One Power makes the Raptor Team both invaluable and dangerous. Torn between their soldier's code and a destiny they never asked for, the team must face Forsaken, Aes Sedai, and the unraveling Pattern itself. As worlds blend and ancient evils rise, steel and sorcery must unite-or all realities may fall to darkness. In a land where magic rules and fate is law, sometimes the sharpest edge is made of nano-forged steel.

"Magic is just code I haven't cracked yet." When V, a battle-hardened mercenary from the neon-soaked hell of Night City, is pulled through a reality-shattering rift during the final stand at Arasaka Tower, she doesn't find herself in the afterlife. Instead, she wakes up in the damp highlands of 1890, staring down a confused Professor Fig and a world that smells of parchment instead of gunpowder. Armed with a dying Relic, illegal Gorilla Arms, and a Sandevistan that's struggling to process the ambient mana of the Scottish Highlands, V is the ultimate anomaly. Enrolled as a fifth-year transfer student at Hogwarts, she must navigate the politics of House Slytherin, the desperate ambitions of Sebastian Sallow, and a brewing Goblin Rebellion led by Ranrok But as V realizes that the "Ancient Magic" of this world bears a terrifying resemblance to the Blackwall of her own, she must decide: Will she use her superior technology to save a world of wonder, or will the "Heavy Magic" of the Repositories turn her into the first Cyberpsycho of the wizarding world?
