The Time Keeper.

Elias Ashborn is a highly intelligent and studious young man who has always been a dedicated student, pouring all of his time and energy into his academics. However, his single-minded focus on his studies has left him with little experience of the world beyond the pages of his textbooks. One fateful day, after an exhausting study session, Elias is suddenly and inexplicably transported to a strange new world that bears a striking resemblance to 19th-century Europe. In this new world, Elias discovers that magic is a forbidden and criminal practice, and those who are caught wielding its power are persecuted and hunted down. Despite his initial reluctance to interact with the people he encounters, Elias soon finds himself drawn into the complex and perilous struggle between various powerful factions, each vying for control of the world and its secrets. As Elias navigates this strange and dangerous new reality, he forms unexpected and unlikely friendships with the people he meets along the way. He uncovers secrets that should've stayed hidden, and he encounters great powers that only some dream of seeing. Through his experiences and struggles, what new things will he learn about himself and this brand-new world? ~~~ #BIG BIG WARNING# This is first and foremost a draft book as initially I was just putting this on Webnovel for my friends to read and eventually it'll be scrapped and rewritten much better once it's complete. So there will 100% be mistakes as this is also the first book I've written I also have a tendency to go back and edit already published chapters to fix plot holes and foreshadowing. Since I'm still writing this series this will happen a lot so some things might not make sense in later chapters if earlier ones have had changes.
