The Impossible Magic

The protagonist is a skilled sniper, who is transferred to a fantastical world after a mysterious explosion. Upon his arrival, he is saved by a giant pixie fairy (she originated from an island of giants and hence has the size of an average human) who becomes his companion and guide. Working as a detective in this new world, he finds himself in the midst of a world torn by conflict between two opposing civilizations - one relying on magic and mythical creatures and the other on the technology of the 1930s, when mysterious "Engineers" had arrived. The protagonist has to survive and navigate this dangerous and unfamiliar world with the help of his friends, using his skills to survive and solve crimes while uncovering the truth behind his sudden transfer and the ongoing conflict. In a way, it's a retelling of the Peter Pen story. But in a particular way. The book was published on paper a few years ago and was well-accepted. I have been receiving up until now briefs from readers to write a follow-up. For now, I translate it piece by piece into English with the help of native English writers and share it here. In case you'd find style mistakes, I'll be grateful for pointing them out in the comment section.  Enjoy yourself.
