Banished Talent

Description
There were things hidden in the darkness and they’re about to introduce themselves to the hood of my car. Not that the knowledge will do me much good. Some Talents aren’t too appreciated by the Powers That Be, and with magic? Sometimes the best option is to just Banish the problem.
I’m Alvin Smithson and let me tell you my story.
Alvin grew up on Earth, or at least one shockingly similar to what you’re familiar with. Except for the magic. And Alvin? Despite never having experienced magic before, he believed in magic a little too much. So when magic found him, he was past the point of being returned to his boring modern life. Then things got worse when they tested him to see if he had any magic of his own.
Join me, as we get a front-row seat to Alvin being banished from Earth and as he descend into a painful rebirth. He won’t be leaving the planet alone, though. Much to his misfortune, a person going along has decided this is all Alin’s fault and is more than willing to make their displeasure known. So now Alvin only has a limited time to learn about his power in a place actively trying to kill him.
Can Alvin adapt fast enough? Gain the power needed? Or will he be just another life snuffed out in a realm where no one has ever escaped from?
This novel has been finished and while you can read it in the entirety here and on my Patreon, there is a more polished version available for purchase as an ebook for $3.99 on bothAmazonand myPatreon. I will get more of the cut if you buy it on my Patreon shop, but I understand that getting an ebook on kindle can be a hassle so feel free to use Amazon. If anything, it will help boost the story in the algo.

- TinyBookDragonRoyal Road★★★★ 4.0High-quality writing. Good grammar and the dialogue is fluid. Characters, what few there have been so far, are done well enough. The story has an interesting premise so I'm looking forward to when we get past this first survival-arc part and he can start gaining more knowledge about his circumstances.
The only negative I'd give is the rate of chapters being released is slow. Some stories I wouldn't be willing to keep reading because of that. This story, so far, is worth sticking around for.
