It doesn't matter if the world becomes unusual. Even if he merges with someone else’s universe, where magic is in use, if he becomes part of it, he can also somehow adapt to the circumstances. And it’s even better to try to gain something in your favor, to become a powerful or at least just a strong magician. It seems to Alexey that this problem can be solved. You can start small. For example, take an unknown magical contraption, hand it over to its destination and receive your reward - a crumb of magical knowledge - and then we’ll see. It is strictly forbidden to touch the thing, but if there is no other choice, then why not break the ban? The thing turned out to be an artifact containing a powerful demon capable of instantly devouring a soul without a trace? However, if the ban has already been violated and there is no way back, all that remains is to come to terms with the new living conditions. And look for a teacher in places where no sane person would even go. The demonic mentor is by no means selfless, and learning from him is like a leap into an abyss from which there is no return. But there is always a chance to win. Yes, and you can try to come to terms with the intelligence contained in the artifact.
