In a world much like our own, the impossible happens: an entire magical kingdom appears overnight off the coast of China. The Old Kingdom, a realm of Charter Magic, necromancers, and ancient forces, finds itself thrust into the 21st century, forever altering the course of human history.
As Chinese missiles prove surprisingly effective against Free Magic creatures, and smartphones baffle the Old Kingdom's powerful mages, both worlds must rapidly adapt to their new reality. The United Nations scrambles to address the diplomatic, military, and existential crises this collision of worlds presents.
Abhorsen Sabriel and King Touchstone navigate treacherous political waters in New York, while Lirael and Nicholas Sayre grapple with the implications of modern technology on magic. Meanwhile, world leaders debate how to handle the threat of the Dead potentially spreading beyond the Old Kingdom's borders.
This story explores the monumental clash of magic and modernity, ancient traditions and global politics, as two vastly different worlds struggle to coexist. From diplomatic summits to magical duels, from theological debates to technological exchanges, "When Magic Meets Modernity" delves into the chaos, wonder, and potential of a world where the laws of reality themselves are being rewritten.
As the balance of power shifts and age-old certainties crumble, one question remains: In this brave new world, can magic and technology, tradition and progress, find a way to thrive together? Or will the collision of these two realities lead to catastrophe?

Everyone has heard of the story. After the Knights betrayed the system, were executed for their crimes, and were forgotten to time, evil began to rise one more, even in the absence of the Divilamu. So the highest sorcerers and elites opened a permanent bridge to another world, known as the great Summoning, and brought with it, champions from an unknown dimension, blessed with incredible powers. They took the task of defending the land from the darkness, and creatures that tainted the light, and issued a new era of peace. More powerful than any other race, they quickly became the ruling class. Now they rule behind any government, hunting and destroying threats. With a wide range of abilities, they saw no resistance. They were called Aldaraians. Jack is a simple farmer, living in the comfy town of Rorin. Like 90% of the population, he is a normal human. He does not mind, as he had a loving wife and daughter. A daughter who dreams of joining the ranks of Aldaraians. Then Jack comes home and finds his family dead. He devolves into despair, and then, clear thought, and rage. People he trusted neglected their duty to protect. Jack makes a twisted journey of revenge, making a few acquaintances along the way, he will take them down, by whatever means necessary. He knows deep down he will not survive, but he just wants to give them a scar, so they never forget him. How would you feel? If you were nothing? If gods from another dimension roamed, and did whatever they pleased. The old gods are nowhere to be found? The only gods are the ones that you see everyday? And most importantly, where is the line drawn, between Good and evil? Join Jack on this dark take on the implications of isekai. Will he get his revenge, or will he die, and life will stay the same as he rots in his grave?

Without warning it began! The inevitable, I think it's fair to assume this book is not in my possession. This means I'm most likely dead. Most nights I wrestle the reason I have chosen to explain what happened, the things we did to each other, things no human being should witness. I Wright this simply to enlighten your poor soul and give you more of a chance than I had. A chance to survive what is most likely the brink of human extinction. Times are harder now and as the days go by we are less of our former selves. We have become husks floating around in a lost, desolate world. I look at this place and it still seems so alien to me, as the days roll into the nights I'm still unsure of how we got to this point. If you are reading this, you too are probably North and very much aware of what has happened to our beloved city. I feel a responsibility to inform you that you will most likely share the same fate as I have. I understand you may be wondering what's worse than death, trust me in this place death seems like a paradise compared. I do not know why I still feel so obligated to write this. To be honest most nights I think its just an escape from the madness, like a natural sedative it's the only way I can fall asleep in this hell. However I do need to clear my conscious and pay dividend for my demons. I need you to know what happened to me; I need you to know what we have become and what we are capable of. I need you to know why we have chosen to kill each other, why the smell of human flesh lingers in the air like slow roast pork on a Sunday afternoon. Why bodies litter our streets. Why things that seemed to be so impossible happen in front of our very own eyes. Why conformity i this place is the unreal ideas people live their lives by and why I was included into this group of youthful abominations. All of this might be irrelevant compared to what I am about to tell you.

After being cast out by those he trusted most, he's ready to end it all. But fate has other plans. Just before the final moment, Kael is pulled into a new reality, a realm where magic reigns, dark forces threaten, and his past choices no longer matter. This isn't a hero's journey. Kael's new world sees him branded as the "Man Jumper," a stranger in a land of swords, sorcery, and dragons. Armed with newfound powers he barely understands, Kael must navigate shifting alliances and treacherous enemies. As he battles the demons of this realm, he's also forced to confront the ghosts of his own past-particularly the betrayals that haunt him at every turn.
