The Big Bad Wolf: Book 1: Blood (A Fantasy Reincarnation Isekai Light Novel)

When a mysterious entity grants a man who died a chance to be a hero in another life in a fantasy world, he cannot believe his luck. The one condition: he must fight the demon king if he shows up during his new iteration. He accepts and… Wakes in the body of a young female wolf beastkin named Lucia haunted by the memory of orcs ravaging her town. Not the rebirth he was hoping for. He soon learns that beastkin are not looked upon kindly in these parts and, because Lucia is an orphaned beastkin, she is drafted into the military. But this new body has its perks as well as its drawbacks. She possesses a hot temper, an incredibly youthful and strong body, and claws. However, the longer he is in this body, the willpower of his former life begins to yield to Lucia’s overwhelming primal instincts. With the help and magic of an enigmatic female elf at an orphanage, Lucia may have a chance at controlling her violent nature as she contends with this harsh, new alien world. Among the threats: murderous orcish raiders, fearsome beasts, and summoned demons. And quite possibly, the demon king himself. No small feat for a young beastkin, but it sure beats being dead. This Royal Road alumnus is a unique reincarnation fantasy adventure featuring plenty of action, twists, and memorable characters that takes place during the hero’s rebirthed childhood rather than glossing over it like most books in the genre. This exciting isekai story with its female lead will transport you to a lush new world filled with fantastical races, unforeseen danger, and powerful magic you won’t soon forget.
