I never thought that my life would take such a drastic turn. One moment, I was a regular high school student, and the next, I found myself in a completely different world. A world where animals ruled and humans were the outsiders. It all started when I had a near-death experience. The last thing I remembered was a blinding light, and then, I woke up in a forest. However, I wasn't myself anymore. I had been reincarnated as a small, fluffy rabbit. I couldn't believe it. I was now a mere prey animal, vulnerable to every predator in the forest. But I refused to let this be the end of me. I had always been a determined person, and I wasn't going to let this new body stop me. So, I started to observe the animals around me, learning their ways and techniques for survival. I learned how to be quick and agile, how to hide and camouflage myself, and most importantly, how to fight. I knew that if I wanted to survive in this world, I had to become stronger. And so, I set out on a journey to become the top predator in the forest. I challenged animals much bigger and stronger than me, using my wit and agility to defeat them. Slowly but surely, I started to climb up the food chain. As I became stronger, I also gained a new sense of respect and admiration from the other animals. They saw me as a survivor, a leader, and someone to be feared. I had gone from a weak and defenseless rabbit to a powerful and respected predator. But my journey didn't end there. I soon discovered that there was an ancient evil lurking in the forest. A dark force that wanted to bring darkness and destruction to the land. And I knew that it was up to me, the newly crowned top predator, to stop it. With the help of my animal friends, I embarked on a quest to defeat the evil and protect our home. It was a dangerous and challenging journey, but I was determined to see it through. And in the end, we were able to defeat the darkness and bring peace back to the forest. As I looked back on my journey, I realized that getting reincarnated into an animal was the best thing that ever happened to me. It had made me stronger, braver, and a true leader. And I couldn't wait to see what other adventures awaited me in this wild and wonderful animal world.

An unending darkness marches forward, crumbling every reality in its path. The only hope left for existence is the original system. However, its power is so great no one can use it without dying.

One that threatens to corrupt him. One that threatens to force the only thing that can save reality, Miko, to destroy it instead. Discord!!! https://discord.gg/Qum9gyqpVN

Scottie Santos is just a normal 25 year old woman. She's a college graduate working as a secretary to the editor-in-chief for a popular magazine. Yep, life is treating Scottie extremely well. There's just one thing: Scottie Santos is a virgin. Okay, well, that's not the problem, really. She actually has a disgustingly obsessive porn addiction. It's something that constantly seems to be on her mind and even begins bleeding into her everyday life. So, Scottie decides that her only solution is going clubbing or hanging out with friends whenever she can to abstain from said addiction. But, on the complete opposite end of the spectrum, she struggles from 'Pure O' Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (something she's self-diagnosed herself with.) As she puts it, her mind can imagine anyone and anything between her legs, anyone and anything. These intrusive thoughts seem to plague her no matter what the situation which leads her to compulsively research her condition or 'train' her brain into having healthy sexual thoughts by consuming porn. So the only thing left to say is, what the fuck is Scottie supposed to do?

I am being hunted. Well, not me exactly. Someone wants to get their hands on the genius behind A.M.K Pharmaceuticals. They just don't know it's me. I have discovered a way to negate anyone's scent, shifter or human. You would think it wouldn't be that big of a deal... deodorants promise the same thing, but my product is nothing like that. My product turns its wearers invisible to shifters. No, not like that. But shifters need scent more than almost anything else to identify and find a person. Without scent, they can't track down their prey, or smell an enemy coming up from behind. I had originally created it so my adopted father and I could avoid the shifter community. No one was supposed to know about it. Until a little birdy said something they shouldn't have to the wrong person. Now the humans are after me and the shifters want me dead. But that's fine. That wasn't the only thing I came up with. And if I am as silent as a mouse, no one will see me coming until it is too late. This will be a RH novel, the FMC will not have to choose.
