Chapter 0004
Athena woke up confused. Like her previous return to consciousness, she was unaware of her current location. Unlike the last time she woke up, there was no pain coursing through her body.
After situating herself and clearing any confusion in her mind, Athena studied the space with the eye of an appraiser, missing nothing.
Previously, Athena was in too much pain and awe to really search through the space within the ring. Now, she examined each section one by one.
First, Athena examined the rocks and ores in the corner of the room. When Athena picked up a red colored gem, she knew immediately this rock was not something she could find back on Earth because the rock produces a layer of warmth contrasting itself to the cooler temperature in the space.
When she finished inspecting all the different colored rocks, Athena opened the meticulously layered boxes containing herbs such as Blood Color Vine, Seven Branch Ginger and Wind Swept Ghost Branch. Not knowing what each herb is used for, Athena gave them only a cursory glance before moving on the animal skin, various types of brushes, ink, paper and scroll.
At the end of her inspection was a shelf filled with books and what seems to be the original body’s diary and correspondents.
Athena left the area for last. Since she did not acquire the memories of the original body like all those reincarnated heroes in the web novels she loved reading so much about, she was unsure whether or not she could read. She also did not want to intrude on the original body’s memories. Even though this body belongs to her now, Athena felt wrong to dig into other people’s private personal lives. Furthermore, after knowing about the original body’s personal desires and grievances, should she take on the original body’s mantle and take vengeance and right the wrong done to this body?

Athena is not a moral righteous person. She wouldn’t be stealing from drug lords for her own personal gains otherwise. Athena wasn’t an evil person either. She did not go out of her way to torment, steal or kills for her desires.
The quandary Athena finds herself in is one of her own makings.
Somehow, she was able to read and speak the language of this world. She didn’t notice it previously, but she spoke aloud, she was speaking in another language, yet her mind interprets it as English. This eliminates the ‘I can’t read’ excuse.
In the end, the need for information won out over the desire to grant a dead person privacy. With a heavy heart, Athena began to read the books and personal letters within the space.

Shaman
*** Let's get this clear now: the MC is a trans woman. This is not a gender-bender. It's set in a fantasy world but the exploration of identity and gender is reality-based. Not a joke, not a kinky turn-on. If this is a problem for you, please just act like an adult and look elsewhere for something to read. *** Rating breakdown, since that should be public info: 2 x 5*, 1 x 4.5*, 1 x 3*, no reasons offered. A human shaman and healer returns from several years with the mysterious shyani, accompanied by her shapeshifting puma best friend. A valued friend, from her previous identity as a male student physician, has acquired an old shyani book, and extremists will not tolerate its presence in human hands. But back in human lands, the question arises: which world does she belong in? Generations ago, human explorers found a continent inhabited by an utterly alien culture of shapeshifting weyres and the shyani, humanoids who prefer dusk and dawn. A truce of sorts was eventually reached: humans claimed the rich lowlands, and the shyani and weyres retain the highlands. Along the border, practicality often rules, but on either side, old grudges linger in some hearts. As a student physician, Corin tried to take his own life, unable to bear the countless tiny wounds inflicted over twenty-one years of lying to himself in order to be, or pretend to be, socially acceptable. At the last improbable instant, intervention came, in the form of a spirit fox, who led him away from the existence he’d known in the lowlands and into the highlands. There, a puma weyre rescued him, and a shyani shaman helped him find his true self and offered a rebirth, a life with no more lies, and an important role to fill. Now a shaman and healer in her own right, Vixen who was once Corin learns that the one human who mattered to her in her previous life, then a fellow University student, has come into possession of an old shyani book, and the more fanatical shyani and weyres will stop at nothing to reclaim it and punish Jared. Even though it means going back into the lowlands and facing Jared as a woman, she can’t bear to just look the other way. This should be a short visit, just long enough to see the book into the proper hands and make sure Jared will not be killed for having it, and then she can return to the shyani community that has accepted her as their shaman. And, of course, her feline best friend Dayr insists on coming with her. But Jared is now a Lord, with considerable wealth and power, and his response to her presence isn’t one she expected. After years living with the shyani, she sees everything around her from a new perspective, and that makes it difficult to keep to the plan of making as few waves as possible. As an honoured guest in a highborn house, with only Jared aware that she has ever been anyone else, Vixen finds herself questioning where she belongs: with Dayr and the shyani, who accept her gender without question but have to make allowances for her differences, or with humans, in the culture she grew up in even though her past would mean a major scandal? *** Trigger warning: there are scenes of Vixen's previous life, which include some difficult moments and culminate in an (obviously unsuccessful) attempt at suicide before she finds her true self and a better life. Please be careful! This is the ONLY reason for the "Traumatising Content" tag.*** Complete stand-alone novel, 96K words. Also available on Scribble Hub and as a free ebook.

A Will to Recognize
What do you think it takes to live? Is it strength? Power? Magic? Unparalleled intelligence? Or are they all mere accessories to the fact that life is irrelevant? Do you have what it takes to bear the burden of life? Does life even matter? I don't know, and to be frank, I am somehow alive; I was even able to function in society at one point. It frightens me to think no one else knows our purpose: not our parents, friends, or mentors. And I can't bring myself to surrender to any religion. But I do have a direction. A goal, one might say. My wish is to one day shout on top of the highest mountains, "Life doesn't frighten me!" But that won't happen. Because I died a long time ago. ... You're still here? That? Oh it was all in the script. You didn't think I'd actually say that cringey stuff, did you? ~Daniel
