This is a draft version of my series "Terrestrial Paradise." It is a SIGNIFICANTLY darker version of the canon story, focusing more on isolationism in a confined space--less action and more drama. When writing it, I was thinking deeply about depression and human nature. This 50+ chapter version emphasized that. If you're reading the new version (not out yet), this should serve as an interesting contrast. And if you're a reader of both, hopefully the comparison between this version and the old are entertaining for you.

I enjoyed writing this version of the story, and I did so knowing it would only click with a certain amount of people. It had its issue, true, and I've hopefully fixed all of them with the new edition of the series. While the new edition still "concludes" similarly, as this book is what I would consider Arc 1, the path is completely different.

Anyways, thank you to those reading it or who have read it. I very much appreciate your support!

Scarlet Embers is many things. A magnificent fighter. A borderline genius. An innovator and inventor. A thirty-year-old lawyer from New York City who used to be a man before his untimely death. And, not unsurprisingly, severely mentally scarred.

Having started her second life over again in a strange new world, Scarlet, formerly Felix Cortez, must navigate what it means to be human again from a whole new perspective. In this fantasy, adventure-filled drama isekai, Scarlet will struggle with her place in a world seemingly older than her own, yet modern in unique ways. With swords and powers invigorating her formerly saddened heart and the tribulations of womanhood undermining her mental health, Scarlet will be forced to adapt or succumb to her...Terrestrial Paradise!
