Oh, and she's somehow missed the memo that humans and magical creatures called Spirit Beast coexist in this world. As she tries to wrap her head around spirit energy, soul bonds, and a textbook that reads like a fantasy novel, Ash realizes she’s now in a world where becoming a Beast Master is the ultimate goal. Struggling with no memories from the original owner of her body, she’s left to figure it out on her own!

Sinclaire Judith didn’t ask for much in life-at least she thinks so, a jab at her sister, and maybe not having to retake math tests. What she didn’t ask for was a milky white, scarred eye that sees better than her good one, shackles that drag her down even when they’re invisible, and the "gift" to spot faceless, blacked-out figures watching from where no one else can. All because she took one wrong step. One misstep through what looked like empty air but turned out to be a Gate of Revelation. She’d survived, sure, but now she’s stuck with powers she doesn’t want, silhouettes she can’t escape, and the ever-present question: why me?

Fighting monsters, getting loot, buying cozy clothes? All Fiona needed was her friends, fun times, and hobbies! Fiona Swiftheart was the hero of Fiefdala. She banished the evil dragon lord to the swampy wastelands, and returned to the capital of the kingdom she saved--and then got taxed for the loot she took from the oversized lizard?! Too bad that no one told her the King went on a long-term vacation, before she got back. He put his scummy son on the throne, who decided cuteness and heroics weren't cool! Faced with either jail or paying up, Fiona traded in huge swords, armor, and the adventuring life to don a business suit and opened a merchant store, to try to sell off stuff that no one could possibly afford to buy! Except when she got her merchant license, she signed up for more than she bargained for! At least her business degree from her previous life wouldn’t be wasted. Join Fiona as she pursues a smaller life, builds hobbies, and makes friends who aren't dead set on fighting the next great villain at the drop of a hat! And pays taxes. She hates taxes. More than lawyers or lawmen. What’re you buying?! * A fantasy slice-of-life story, light progression elements * Feel-good storytelling, with no ‘save the world’ plot.
