“Yes, I finished running the audit”
“Okay, send me the report. Also, did you call Mr. Adler and let him know about the acquisition?”
Ah, Mr Adler. That fucking Adler. That man made him slog every single day, thought Gray
Of course, he couldn't say that on the phone.
“Yes sir, I had called him earlier”
The phone was cut. Gray sighed and thought about all the tasks ahead of him and felt like an old man.The truth was, he was just nineteen years old, yet he had a stable job due to his talent. He was his family's overachiever. Nevertheless, these days he was overwhelmed with work.
Well, ‘challenge is a privilege’. That was what his uncle used to say. Those not facing challenges could not grow or evolve. In that sense, facing challenges was what eventually led to attaining fulfillment.
It was late at night as he was driving down the road. His mind cluttered with things he needed to finish in the next few days. As he further drove down the road, his heart suddenly pinched
“Wha.. What is this feeling?” He grabbed his chest with one hand on the wheel.
Suddenly his entire body felt weak. Then, just like a person isn't aware of the moment they fall asleep, his consciousness left him.
---
A woman was continuously stamping her leg on the floor. She did this whenever she was nervous. But, this time the stamping was continuous and she was very restless. Every passing second felt slow to her.
A male doctor walked out of the emergency room and glanced over at the woman, walking towards her.
“There is no need to worry, he is fine”
“Oh my.. God” tears flowed down her eyes then she said “Thank you so much !”
The woman rushed into the room. When she walked in, she stopped for a moment and all her anxiousness disappeared.

A man with black curly hair was laying on the bed, his eyes half closed as he was looking out of the window staring at the huge skyscrapers. Then he noticed someone in the room.
“Mother” Gray muttered with a large smile on his face
The woman stopped stamping her legs immediately. She then rushed towards Gray and sat down next to the bed.
“You stupid brat ! You should have your eyes on the road. How many times have I told you to not talk on the phone while driving?” She said while crying
Gray was still smiling, he felt lucky to be alive
A nurse then came in and told Gray to rest for a couple of days. Then she asked him to briefly explain what happened.
“I don't know” Gray said while thinking back to what had happened. It franky felt to him like one moment he was driving the car and then the next moment he woke up in a hospital bed. He felt there was no sense of time for what happened in between, it was difficult to explain.
The nurse then said “You have broken several bones, most are still minor fractures.” She then paused and continued “But, your hand has a major fracture you will need to do physiotherapy for some time to heal it”. The nurse then explained to him in more detail.
A doctor peeked into the room and then called for the nurse, she left the room.
“Everything will be alright Gray, you just have to work on your body until it has healed again” His mother was trying to encourage him.
Gray was very tired, he was half listening. His mother then left the room, she needed to start working again to afford the hospital bills. She was not angry or sad about the family's financial situation, instead, she was happy to help her son out after all these years.

It was late at night, Gray woke up feeling refreshed. He then got up from the bed and started walking to use the restroom. As he walked in the bathroom he had a sudden realisation.
‘Wait, didn't the doctor say that I had broken many bones?” He felt his entire body and started stretching.
‘This is weird, how come I don't feel anything?’
He then sat on the hospital bed and switched on his phone. He wanted to search up some of the things the nurse had said before. However, something caught his eye.
“Beings of another planet? Monsters attack the southernmost district !”
What the hell? He then read the story.
It seemed that there were human sized monsters attacking the southernmost district. There was also a video attached in the article.
The monsters were eating many humans and rampaging around the city. He could hardly believe it.
Then he heard a voice inside his head say "Hello Gray". The voice was deep and felt powerful.
Then he read "Character Info"
The world completely changed, and he changed along with it as well.

Ph. D. In Sorcery
Follow Anastasia, the unlucky physicist turned wizard, as her reality gets turned upside down and she is plunged into a world of gods, magic, swords, and adventure. Short and sweet description, anything more would be a spoiler and I detest those. Now, what you can expect from reading: This is my first time writing, or better said allowing someone else to read that mess so don’t raise your expectations too much. Still, I will try to keep the story flowing, while also devoting as much time as I can to editing. In my opinion, the story is written at a faster pace than normal with time skips here and there. I will do my best to not allow the faster pace to ruin the story by using those time skips to raise the skill of the main character. I am mainly looking for feedback while I test myself in new and unexplored waters. I did put a lot of thought into worldbuilding and the magic system, it is something that has been mulling inside my head for years before I sat down to write anything down. First and foremost I am an engineer and not a writer. I will try to do my utmost to make the world logical and consistent, but sometimes I might not express that in a way that’s clearly understood. I have a rough outline with several possible endings, but the story will change and evolve as I do. But in case I have to stop for whatever reason, the story will get an ending. It will be done even if I have to send coded messages from a bunker. I am a big fan of the Dresden Files so you can be certain that everything mentioned will in most cases be used, with a few red herrings sprinkled in the mix. But that also means I will enjoy putting the main character through the meat grinder while I eat popcorn and laugh from my evil lair. Physics, and to be more precise electromagnetism, quantum field theory, general and special relativity are very interesting topics for me that I research in my spare time. That means that the premise of the story will be using that research to bring logic to magic. Stupid I know, magic is magic, but to me, there is no reason why there shouldn’t be a concrete set of rules there. But it is still magic and that allows me to play with some things that shouldn’t normally be possible. I will focus on evolving the main character and having her react as anyone normal would, from my perspective. There will be scenes of battle, gore, and sexy times, but I will not go into too many details, counting on your imagination to fill the gaps. There will be plenty of combat, even battles ranging from a few dozen, a hundred, and thousands of participants. I could go on but there isn’t much to say that would convince anyone to read, either you thought the title was cool or you liked the poster. Or not, but after several days in photoshop, that’s the best I could do. And the title was originally Sorceress with a Ph.D. The new one makes a little less sense but I like the ring of it more for some reason. I just hope someone enjoys what I write as much as I do. In the end that is the reason, I am doing this, because I enjoy putting my thoughts on paper and seeing the outcome. Credit for the art: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/e0o8nw
