Transformation: Beginning

**(Book Rewritten)**
Humans and animals have many differences. But what would happen if we erased those differences?

Therianthropy is the ability for a human to transform into an animal.
Lycanthropy is the ability to transform into a wolf or a half-wolf, but outside of Europe, there were also transformations into other animals such as tigers, foxes, leopards, hyenas, or lions.
These were changes that eliminated the physical differences between humans and the rest of the animal kingdom.
Or perhaps, they even drew from myths and legends, sprouting a seed of truth that, when it grew, revealed an ancient reality.

In many mythologies, animals possessed extraordinary traits.
In Japanese mythology, foxes were known to take on human appearances.
Meanwhile, the Olympian gods, when fleeing from Typhon, transformed into animals, and Actaeon was punished by being turned into a stag.
These are not the only such instances in this mythology.
All around the world, similar myths and legends of transformation into animals existed, despite the weaker global communication compared to today.
For some reason, they developed independently without influencing each other.
This could suggest that such events may have truly occurred in the past.
By adding extraordinary abilities to the equation, it could explain a significant portion of history that many people consider untrue.

And what if these things still occurred today, but on a smaller scale?
What if there were still people capable of transforming into animals, possessing abilities that seem extraordinary to humans, even if they are scientifically explainable?
The emergence of such individuals could change the world, just as the story they are part of.

I was an ordinary teenager, but one day everything changed.
I was kidnapped, and I learned who I really was.
It changed my life, and that was only the beginning.
