What Is An Extended Metaphor

Alexis was once a goddess, one of the moon goddess’s three pillars. She was in charge of assigning mates, but her curiosity into what it would feel like to have a mate, to fall in love was considered a breach of rules.  Goddesses do not fall in love!  So she was sentenced, removed from moon drop and reduced to the status of a mere werewolf. But that’s not all, her memories were erased, so she no longer knew she was once a goddess, one of the moon goddess’s three pillars.  To double on her punishment properly, she was made an outcast, prevented from manifesting.  Her punishment were the sufferings she would endure as an outcast, what one would call “A hunted” . . Twenty-two-year-old Alexis Ruderth, a girl who never manifested into an omega, an outcast whose entire life had constantly been at risk accidentally finds herself at the gala—a celebration meant for manifested Omegas, Betas, and Alphas to find their mate.  Nothing should have gone wrong—she knew how to hide herself, but that was until she crossed gazes with him; Keelion Fane, the only existing supreme alpha of their kind.  He is the leader of the pack, but he is feared—said to be cold-hearted, indifferent to every eye that had ever fixated on him. Still, his strength was all that mattered, yet he was still an alpha who hadn’t found his mate for so long that he had no choice but to find a substitute.  Stuck in this situation where things took a turn for the worst, Alexis found herself struck with her heat cycle—something she had never once experienced. She was abnormal, never manifested, yet, there she stood in the middle of hundreds of guests drowning in her sudden heat that one way or the other drew his attention.  Keelion Fane.  She was stuck. With nowhere to run, in his grasp— the entire gala ended because of her.  She…was doomed.

I found myself in a parallel universe, awakening as a male priest. Everything seemed perfect; after all, as a healer, specializing in aiding women should pose no issue, right? However, I couldn't help but wonder about some peculiar spells in my repertoire. Firstly, what in the world is the "Instantaneous Outbreak of Acute Gastroenteritis" spell? And don't even get me started on the "Osteoporosis" spell. What purpose could these serve in my healing endeavors? The confusion only deepened with spells like "Blood Burn," "Gradual Freeze," and "Mental Chaos." Can I still peacefully focus on healing women with such ominous abilities? Comparing my spells to those of other professions, I couldn't help but notice the stark contrast. Mages wield "Doomstorm" and "Ice Age," swordsmen boast "Sword Rain: Homecoming" and "Wind-Cutter Slash," while archers showcase "Arrow Rain: Shooting Stars" and "Storm Arrow." Yet, my ultimate spells are disturbingly named "Cancer Cell Proliferation," "T-Virus Infection," and "Rabies Outbreak." In the midst of it all, a certain character, some crying girl, laments, "Noooo, I just took a bath, who would have thought that I would become infected!" Meanwhile, a villain chillingly asks, "Do any of you know what it feels like to burst apart while spouting blood? No! You don't know!" Even a boss character confesses, "Dear family, who can understand? I just took a nap, and when I woke up, I suddenly found that I have no kidneys!"

This story is about a boy who reincarnated in another world [I know this dosen't sounds new to you but...] To a fantasy world And he has a difficult time while living there... I want this isekai to be different from most of them, I want to show a side of another world that is not shown in most novels. The main character always gets some mega perks, or has the powers of a demon lord, or is some hero who has to defeat the demon lord. I got bored with it, I want to show what would happen if you, for example, were reincarnated in a small village somewhere on the outskirts of the kingdom, where there are no schools to teach children and because of that there are problems with using magic, or general craftsmanship or warrior training. Magic in this world is not as common as in other isekai, that is, it occurs normally but it is hard to learn it. Because of that, few people have the ability to have magic. [This is my first novel ever so please don't be angry, if I write something wrong pls] Overall in this isekai the main character will have a hard time and now the question is whether he will be able to survive in this world, and who he wants to become? The answer to this is still unclear...
