(3rd-Person Narrator: Jonathan Edwards)

Joanna sensed something deep within her brain's thalamus, her heart's aorta, and her stomach's lining. It was a sort of circulating energy but centered around denser cores of sorts. They weren't solidified, but more like the consistency of... corn starch.

But these energies shifted as if they had a mind of their own, and constantly supervised her vitals. Joanna feared these unknown entities inside of her, but they seemed to improve her physical and mental conditions.

Putting off these worries, Joanna quickly began eating the broth and bread from the tray to fill her starving self. They had a familiar taste of something distinctly of beef and potato stew, but somehow much more filling and flavorful. She could not tell whether it was because of the skilled cooking or her ravenous hunger.

Joanna let out a sigh of content as she was filled by this gifted meal. Shockingly, Joanna felt her stomach's core devour the food, as pulsating energy was contained it within its blobbed core. She was discomforted by this and downed the medicine just in case if it were the parasite acting up again.

In her drowsy grogginess, Joanna's mind could not think properly and forgot the incident with her benefactor. Instead, it was replaced with her body's abrupt reaction to her taking the full bottle of "Miracle", rather than the usual single dose of a spoonful. 10 doses were enough to cause a swamping amount of energies to enter and clean the body. An entire cup's worth? Let's say Joanna needed the bathroom really bad. As expected of her rash personality...

Joanna stood up and stumbled over to the plainer-looking door. She burst in to find the nearest toilet. Relieved that it was indeed a bathroom equipped with a sink, shower, and various toiletries, Joanna used them at her own disposal. After a painfully slow hour, Joanna flushed the toilet for the umpteenth time. Then, she waddled over to clean the gunk off of her skin, which oozed out as she was doing her business.

Finished 3 hours after meeting the doctor, Joanna toweled herself off and put on one of the spare hospital gowns, which adjusted itself magically to fit her size. This confirmed her suspicions of being transported to a new, magical world now that she had refreshed herself and completely woke up. Looking into the mirror, Joanna was yet again met with another surprise.

Originally, her figure was a sizable 1.7m height, coupled with straw-blond hair stretching to her hip. It was muscular, with defined curves showcasing her dangerous power, despite having a creamy complexion and an innocent disposition. Now her height rocketed to about 1.82m: about the size of the doctor she just met! Additionally, her features matched his, with deep platinum blond hair and much more prominent muscles.

Stolen from its original source, this story is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

After a double-take, Joanna realized her ears sharpened and elongated to the size of those... her father called them Erofus? Elves? Whatever had taken her also took the liberty of altering Joanna's body to match the indigenous people. She felt energy being sparked at the tips... what were these ears? Tuning forks? Lightning rods? Whatever they were, they promised to amplify the energy circulating inside her, which had finally solidified and felt as if it reached its peak.

Joanna's life began anew, with greater possibilities than she ever could have on Earth... Earth! Suddenly shifting again from tangent to tangent, Joanna thought about her losses as she slipped once again into her hospital bed.

There was Mia Nell, the constant presence that cared for her as housekeeper of the manor Joanna stayed at. She loved her like the mother equivalent of her dead father. Mia showed her affection by the meals she cooked and the tranquility she provided with her doting advice. One day, after "Nidhoggr" appeared, she was unfortunately kidnapped, subsequently ransomed, raped by her captors, and killed... But there's no need to dwell on that, right?

There was Stephen Stoll, the chauffeur and butler, who provided services as her sentinel. Obviously, Joanna once having a sharp mind but a body only asked for bullies to come knocking at her door. Yet Stephen dealt with this by his own pocket or his own punches. He bribed those swayed by money and beat the living fuck out of fuckers which couldn't. His advice supplemented a majority of her transformation, with encouragement during her exercise routines and provision of methods to get into the heart of men. Stephen actually loved Mia and valiantly died in vain at the hands of the villains who took her. Too bad, right?

There was Sasha Muré, the strange scientist woman who'd give Joanna knickknacks that would save her from embarrassing situations. On one occasion, she received a mini fart blaster, which Joanna thought was a terrible present. But it turned out to be useful. Once living with Tompkins a few days later, she actually was in her room fiddling with Muré's inventions. She then farted as Tompkins came into the room and was able to blame the device. They still could make their relationship more intimate, despite this dark incident. For some reason... she didn't die and left Earth. Shocker, right?

And then there was Curt Stromberg, Joanna’s "unnamed" Godfather, who'd only talk to her over the phone. He once told her he owed James Edwards a debt because her father gave up his love on Sasha Muré. He even helped the two get together. James also saved his life in a car accident when Curt was drunk after a company vacation as the CEO of Blanko, a manufacturer of blankets and various beddings and mattresses. Curt set Joanna up at one of his manors in the States, allowing her to live so comfortably. He only revealed his true nature as an impressive Astrophysicist at her wedding, when he was leaving Earth.

Finally... Tina, or Tin, Tompkins. His influence on Joanna's life was the greatest: reconciling her childhood, showing her true love, rebirthing her entire self. Tompkins was all she wanted in life and could live beyond any of her losses except him. Joanna always kept losing the ones she loved, after all.

Breaking out of her delusions once again, two days passed by as Joanna stayed in her semi-conscious state. Cleansing Hand was surprised she reverted back to this state and had her cared for. But when he discovered the empty container and that her Spheres and Tiers reached 4th Rank, Cleansing Hand knew she was on the road to recovery. Hopefully, she would help as the horde of Undead neared the Calm Grasslands.
