Reincarnated as a Warlock with zero skill

Description

My previous life was just as boring as yours. I was a marketing manager for a flooring company. The biggest challenge? Would the latest colour be called "Grey Oak" or "Oak Grey".

Then, tragedy. I was struck down in the prime of my life by a negligent delivery driver and a pallet of laminate flooring - which is significantly heavier than you think. So there I was, smeared on the floor, absorbed in my own self pity. Where would I go? Heaven? Hell. Did I care?

Apparently that was not what fate had in store for me. Reborn in a world of dragons and fantasy, I became a Warlock. A pretty darn important one too. The problem, I had little to no affinity to magic and I spent most of my time doing my best to avoid danger. Danger however, would not avoid me.

So, with my new life as an amazing Warlock you'd think it would be easy street right? Wrong. Forces gather to move against the Kingdom I am sworn to protect and, whilst my inward allegiance is to whomever is the victor, outwardly I must lead the resistance against the invaders. With my skilled companions Asha - a mage that can actually do magic and Torg - a swordsman sworn to protect me, I can only hope that they distract the enemy long enough for me to run away.

The story follows a young man who's hit by a car and then teleported to a fantasy realm of some sort, as a mage. The story follows his discovery of the world and his powers from there.
Grammar: Out of the way early. One or two minor things, nothing jarring. Full marks nonetheless.
Style: The style is good. The prose isn't overly complicated which works well with the narrator. It sounds like it's a modern teenager talking which makes the story that much more engrossing. There might be a bit too much dialogue. The constant back and forth makes it a bit jittery at times, and some of the stuff doesn't need to be said, "I agree" she said could be just she agreed.
Story Score: It's still early, but the story is solid. The MC is a teacher at an academy. The scene with him asking "How would you deal with someone in this situation" was really funny and really well done. Reminded me of the scene in Catch me if you Can with the fake doctor.
Character: Still early, but the characters are well done. There's a likeable king, an intelligent love interest. Nothing truly groundbreaking but everyone is solid. The MC is what makes this work though. Lines like:
“This is Lord Kaiden. He is a mighty warrior and leader of our group.” Torg motioned towards me. What a prick.
are so good. It really allows you to live in the two worlds...the fantasy realm with might warriors and the modern world where you're telling your buddy to eff off.
All in all this is well real written piece, fun world building and a funny, dry sense of humour form the MC/narrator/author. Give it a read!
