Sanzensekai: The Ronin's Exile [Psychological Drama - Reverse Isekai - Urban Progression Fantasy] [Book 1 fully drafted]

Kurisu Nodaichi is an exiled elemental samurai stranded on modern Earth. With no clear way home—and unsure if he'd even take it—he's just trying to get his feet under him. Lost and reacting to a bizarre new world, he's also carrying some severe psychological baggage from his past. Dealing with that kind of trauma is bad enough on its own. But when you're a walking nuclear reactor...? Once the pressure boils over and his emotional discipline crumbles, he becomes a violent manifestation of everything he keeps buried. While he deals with monsters from his world bleeding into Earth, he’s fighting to maintain control over his own mind before he becomes a walking natural disaster driven purely by instinct and rage.
