Identity crisis? What's that? ---- An earthling's soul was born into an incompatible, human body. Their muscles misbehaved, their skin and body felt like a rigid shell, and their weak constitution left little options for any activities outside of paperwork, books and anything on a screen at home. Then the divine beings tried to correct the mistake and removed the mismatched soul from its unfitting body, slinging it to a distant world with a new body to control. The human flesh-prison replaced with the unlimited options of a shapeshifter, the soul has now a magic-filled world to explore. Grow fur for a mountain hike, grow gills and fins for a deep dive. It's time to catch up on decades worth of missed travels and activities. But who wants to deal with the flesh-craving predators called shapeshifters? Another global purge could start, if the freshly transferred soul shows its abilities too much. ---- The rankings are a mystery to me - especially after this story made it to No. 1 under the shapeshifter tag (and others).

We all know the basic isekai story, yeah? Die in this world, and then reborn to a fantasy one, yadda-yadda-yadda. However, in this scenario, we get to learn this fantasy world's inner workings alongside our precious main character, his journey, his struggles, and finally, a situation that will come up. The question is... What kinds of struggles shall he endure? Will it be simple for him to deal with? Or will it be hard? Just know that... Life, even if it gives you enough powers to be considered a god, it will still find a way to bite you from behind, caught unawares. "Death is unavoidable But so is life And everything you knew Can be taken away all at once But what happens when Two lives merge as one It wouldn't be the same, yes? And it can still shatter one's perspective in life? Have we really learned of everything we could learn? Know what one is thinking? Can we truly know their struggles and problems With just one look at their face? We sometimes say That someone has their own world In a way, that is true But what if that is the literal truth? Ground shaking, is it not?" TWO SEPARATE LIVES: A NOVEL FOR ANOTHER WORLD (BOOK ONE OF THE ASHEN SERIES)

From the second you're in this world they tell you what is fair. What questions your allowed to ask and the ones you can never dare say. I find it damn near funny that most of you are reading this and know exactly what I mean. They put you on the path they've paved for you as kids we don't question it or even wonder if it's right for you. But beyond your paths edges is a land made up of risks and dangers. You feared it they tell you no good will come from it but how do you really know? Truth be told I was the girl who had her whole life planned out for her, straight A's, best friend, and two loving parents. I know what I wanted what I needed and I knew how to fight like hell for it. There's a reason why everyone prefers pretty lies over the bitter truth and it's usually because they can't handle the truth but I think the most likely thing is they can't handle what happens to the person once the truth comes out that's what happened to me. I was happy the way things were and then one day everything blew up in my face. Maybe the happy girl I was would have been happy living a lie for the rest of her life but no matter what the truth always comes out. So I ask you what would you have wanted the bitter truth or the pretty lie?

A man in his late 30s, working in a multinational company, had just released several classified documents that resulted in him losing his job but also brought the company down as well. Being a highly regarded person, Hart was the lead economist and trade master for the company, but he found out his work had destroyed the lives of many after the corporation decided to go behind his back and alter several deals, causing a number of third-world countries to face terrible repression. His decision would place a bullet in the head but also spark a new journey, one filled with magic and fantasy in a different world. Greeted by a messenger of god, Hart was given one chance to redeem himself for his past mistakes. Rebirth, the end goal of many living beings, yet unknown by all who seek it.
