Our story begins with Gruner, an orphan boy living in a foster home, starting his morning as he always does - rising before the sunrise to attend to his chores and care for the livestock. While performing his tasks, Gruner's mind often wanders and he daydreams of the world beyond, stirring curious longings within him. Dissatisfied with the prospect of spending his life confined to this small village, one day while in the forest a ferocious storm suddenly erupts. Through the pouring rain and cracks of thunder, Gruner spots a mysterious orb of bright white light. Compelled by intrigue, he trails the glowing sphere deep into the woods until it explodes in a flash, raining down golden dust and revealing a small blue-glowing sphere etched with celestial symbols. The next morning, Gruner presents his curious finding to the village astrologer. After a hasty examination, the old sage warns that the orb possesses mystical powers and will inexorably alter the course of Gruner's destiny. Left with more questions than answers, Gruner is now entangled in a magical mystery as the orb's true purpose - and his own future - remain obscured in the night sky's inky veil. Our hero's adventure has only just begun.

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). Welcome to fantasy amateur hours! This is my first time writing that kind of novel. Hopefully there's a bit of improvement along the way. Feel free to tell me what works or not! Occasionally drowning in irl-work, so chapters will be published semi-regularly, whenever I find some time to write. (Usually updated at least once per week.) If it wasn't obvious already: Cover art made by yours truly.
