*What to expect* [Average to strong/overpowered] [Companion bond] [Pacing will seem slow-12 books or more planned] After touching a strange Core, Alex Ashmoor is ripped away from his life on Earth and thrust into a world of magic, monsters, ancient gods, and a broken System. He quickly discovers that the Core now bound to him is an ancient device created to house twelve lost artifacts of power. Worse, completing it may be his only chance of ever returning home. Now Alex must grow strong enough to survive this strange new realm, uncover the artifacts, and piece together the mystery surrounding the Core. But he isn't the only one searching for them, and the gods are hell-bent on reclaiming the Core for themselves. * I put a romance tag on this, but rest assured this is not a romance book. There will be a relationship, but it will not be part of the main plot or follow anything like typical romance.*
