Alternative Title(s): Isha-Jō Heroine? The Former Doctor Turned Genius Healer Lady Is Now an Isekai Heroine - イシャジョーヒロイン?「元医者の天才ヒーラーお嬢様、異世界ヒロインやってます」 Wait, What Do You Mean I Got Reincarnated as a Heroine in Another World?! — And Now I Have to Save the Kingdom as a Healer Prodigy and Magician While Pretending to Be a Noble Lady Even Though I Was a Shut-In Doctor Back Home! - 「いや、ちょっと待って！？異世界転生したのが私でしかもヒロイン！？—— 昔は引きこもり医者だったのに、今は天才ヒーラー＆魔法使いとして王国を救えと？…ついでに貴族お嬢様の演技までしなきゃダメ！？」 DISCLAIMER: This story contains themes involving quantum mechanics, CGDCT, borderline (or maybe not) Girl’s Love, and plot-relevant mature scenes that are safe for general audiences. Follow Kairi Izumi—a quiet, eccentric, and somewhat conspicuous girl— who never felt like anything but an NPC in a story. Working behind the scenes, unnoticed by others had always been part of her daily life, dwelling with medicine and toxins. So, it's not surprising that she wasn't tad attractive according to others. That is, until one day... that guy, he confessed to me. Wait a minute—doesn't that mean I'm a heroine now? Hang on, how is that even possible?I’m just a girl from a small village who likes to help others. I don’t particularly stand out, and compared to the other girls, I’m not even that attractive. And so, a question lingers, driving the unfolding of this dumbfounding narrative forward: Wait, what do you mean I got reincarnated to be a heroine? That's weird because usually a heroine is not strong let alone smart - they are usually dumb, cute and pretty. Definitely not me. I mean, how is that possible? Me? Heroine? No way!

The main character of the work is Morrigan. The one... The overbearing, intelligent, sarcastic and not-so-mysterious companion of the protagonist of Dragon Age: Origins. In contrast to the original, the entire focus of the story shifts to this amazing daughter of Flemette. By fate, as in the canon, the witch leaves Korkari. But it is not only the threat of Blight that drives her on her difficult adventures, relentlessly flooding the south of Ferelden with darkness and death. The attack... And the personal entanglements the Sorceress finds herself in force her to become more active. In the name of survival, she transforms from follower to leader. From now on, the girl no longer chooses who to stay with, but who is trustworthy, or at least curious enough to stay. Others will lose the support of the reluctant southerner. Ambition, growing amidst the gathering darkness of madness and the flames of civil war, will determine where the new path will take her. A tangle of wit, magic and contingency knows no bounds. The narrative is based on a classic Dragon Age episode, centred on a desperate band of disparate individuals facing the threat of the Fifth Dawn. There are changes of varying degrees to the series of events that have already occurred and future events that are inherent to the canon. Some are on the surface. Others are less visible. Who is the saviour here? And is there one at all? What if the familiar characters had a slightly different, more down-to-earth motivation? Or if a series of miraculous rescues didn't happen? Characters with a prominent role in the canon might be left behind, die or suffer unforeseen consequences. I invite the reader to the fire, to experience this small but hopefully fascinating experiment together.

In the charming city of Paris, whispers of a mysterious disappearance have shrouded the once-romantic community in fear. The silence holds the key to unlocking the truth, but only the silent witness knows the dark secrets that lie beneath the surface.

“Some stories are written in ink. Hers was etched in snow.” Ayame Takigawa lives between the pages she writes—of forgotten places, quiet sorrow, and the things left unsaid. A solitary soul with fading ties to the world, she never imagined a winter trip with friends would end in silence… and snow. Presumed dead after vanishing in a blizzard, Ayame awakens in a realm untouched by time—a vast, icy world where no human should tread. There, in the heart of the frozen stillness, waits Fuyuki. A yokai bound by ancient magic and long-suppressed longing. Once worshipped. Now forgotten. And her blood has awakened him. He was never meant to be found. She was never meant to survive.
