He expected a second chance at life. Maybe a powerful body. A legendary hero's destiny. Perhaps even a kingdom of his own. Instead, he was reborn as a girl named Kizuru, an orphan abandoned in the slums. With nothing but her twin sister, Kazuki, and a rough middle-aged man named Jack, Kizuru grows up learning one simple rule: in the slums, weakness gets you killed. But Kizuru is not the kind of person who gives up easily. As she struggles to survive, strange events begin to pull her toward a world far larger and darker than the slums she knows. Monsters, magic, dangerous people, and secrets surrounding her past slowly begin to surface. Why was she reincarnated? Why does the world feel strangely familiar? And what is waiting for her beyond the slums? If Kizuru wants answers, she'll have to become strong enough to survive the journey. Because in this world, being given a second life doesn't mean you're given a second chance. note: -I use AI to translate my novel, so if you notice any mistakes, please feel free to point them out and give me some feedback -The world of this story was heavily inspired by The City from Project Moon.
