When Ash died, he was offered a move on, or try again somewhere new.
He chose “new.”
Now he’s waking up in a strange world, inside a younger body with some… unusual modifications. There’s magic in this world—some of it bound directly to him—and a soft, inexplicable charisma that makes people trust him a little too easily.
Hoping to stay under the radar, Ash finds his way to Thornwood, a sleepy little village with more going on than it lets on. Livestock are vanishing, something stalks the woods at night, and Ash’s accidental charm is drawing eyes he’d rather avoid. Yet even in the unfamiliar, he finds pockets of peace and begins to make new friends.
A witty, heartfelt isekai about second chances, awkward magic, and finding your place when you no longer recognize yourself.
