《The Unknown》How it began

Mike's pov
I'm still not sure how I let Neil talk me into this. I mean I'm a surgeon for chrissake. I don't know anything about taking care of kids. The closest I ever came was when I dated that single mom. Let's face it her kids were really irritating. They were loud, annoying and messy. Duh, I admonished myself, they were kids. Why would Neil even want me to do this. I don't want to be responsible for single handedly bringing down his charity. I mean don't get me wrong, this is a really great operation he has here. These kids need a home and someone to take care of them. The NJC Center provides both. I'm just not sure I'm cut out to be a guardian.
Neil's pov
I don't know why Mike is acting so trepidatious. Does he really think I let just anyone in here to act as a guardian to orphaned kids. He was handpicked just like the rest of them. I watched him grow up at that hospital from an awkward shy pimply resident to the most promising surgeon we've ever seen. I knew his father well. He admitted to me Mike practically raised his little sister since he and his wife spent so much time overseas as missionaries. Knowing Mike he probably doesn't think that counts, but I have no doubt he'll be an excellent guardian for Julie and Stacey. Besides, I've already mentored him and he passed with flying colors. It's do or die time. The girls are coming this afternoon.
Mike's pov
Here comes Neil with 2 little girls in tow. This is it. No turning back now. Neil commences the introductions.
"Mike, this is Julie and this is Stacey. Girls say hello to doctor Michael Horton your guardian."
They're so little. God help me what have I gotten myself into. I was silently praying for strength and wisdom as these 2 little innocent faces gazed up at me. Little did I know my life was about to change in the most wonderful challenging way possible.

"Hello Dr. Horton" they squeaked in unison.
I knelt down in front of them and held their little hands in mine. "welcome home girls" I said , my voice suddenly shaky with overwhelming emotion. What have I gotten myself into. I don't even know these kids yet now we're connected. For life.
Who am I kidding trying to pass myself off as a responsible adult. These kids are going to look to me for guidance and wisdom. I don't stand a chance. I can't do this.
The girls smile at me shyly averting eye contact.
They don't play fair. I want to tell Neil I'm sorry I can't do this. I want to walk out that door and never look back, but I don't because I know:
They had me at hello.

A Fractal Divide
Lesivar is a city in ascendancy. With recent innovations in magical crafting, the common people are experiencing a boom in comfort and wealth. The nobility, long used to being the stewards of knowledge and power, struggle to adapt to the new world in which they find themselves. A precarious balance has been maintained throughout, but forces stir beneath the surface threatening to send the city spiraling into chaos. This is my first attempt at writing anything longer than a short story, and I welcome any feedback or corrections. I'm posting this as I write, with each chapter going live upon completion. My current pace is about a chapter a day, which I expect to take my through the end of November. From there, I'm shooting for a chapter every two-three days until the book is completed, along with an editing pass of what is already up. I'm planning on three POV characters with unique insight into the story as it unfolds. Each chapter will contain only one POV. [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]

My Isekai
For those not familiar with the isekai genera, this story is about a man waking up in an unknown world. The story follows his journey and life in this world, which does not only look different on the surface, but the common norms and values of this world are very alien to the modern western mindset. How will this average western person respond to such a world, and how will it change him. For those familiar with isekai, this is a western take on a predominantly Japanese story format. It draws a lot of inspiration from Japanese isekai, but it also tries to tackle a lot of tropes that might be annoying to the western mindset. The story is not written for young boys as the story tries to take a mature take on some typical clichés and assumptions made by both the typical writer and reader of the genera.
