The Ugly Duckling Of The Tiger Tribe
A prideful snake who bowed to no one—until he became a jealous husband.
A snow tiger beast warrior feared and respected, reduced to an obedient husband.
A wolf known as a Casanova, who never stayed—until he chose loyalty.
And a merman Prince who left his waters in order to be on land with her.
All of them changed after meeting one female... After sniffing in an impossible scent.
Her name is Arinya.
…And unfortunately for this world, that’s me, haha.

I wrote a book once.
It was an unhinged fantasy born from my high-school brain, driven by loneliness and too many hormones.
It was a world of beastmen, wild freedom, and the kind of romantic attention I could never get in real life. I poured every impossible desire into it: adventure, danger, and yes… a 'lot' of handsome partners.
Before I knew it, I had a thousand chapters of pure escapism and pure thrill.
Then on a college camping trip, I fell off a cliff.
I expected to wake up in a hospital room but nope. I woke up on a soft field of grass, with air too fresh to belong anywhere on Earth.
And then something moved behind me.
Sticking out of my tailbone was... A tail.
My tail?
Yellow and black stripes and very, very real.
I touched it. Completely real.
My ears? Also gone—well, moved. They were now perched on top of my head like a confused jungle cat. And the outfit? Quite revealing, made of animal hide which matched my tail.
What was going on?
At first, I thought it was a prank. Or a dream. Or maybe karma is finally cashing in. But the more foreign memories evaded my mind, the clearer my situation became.
This wasn't cosplay and it wasn't Earth, either.
And—surprise—it wasn't even the world from my own book. Welp.
I had been transported into a completely different Beastman world as a beast girl called Arinya.
Sounds fun, right?
Well… it would be, if I weren't apparently the ugliest duckling in the entire freaking savannah! Rejected by every potential mate I stumbled across and sneered at like a freaking eyesore.
This was not how I planned my fantasy to come to reality.
Trust me—if this is my fantasy come true, then someone needs to fire the author.
But then again, after entering this world, I'm suddenly... Attractive.
I mean, there's no change to my face and the freckles are still there, but for some reason, handsome beastmen begin to flock around me, wanting to be my mate because I smell... Pleasant.
What's that all about?

A woman decides to go on a photo safari in Africa. She takes her pet dachshund along for company. One day, the dachshund starts chasing butterflies, and before long the little dog discovers it’s lost. Suddenly the dog sees a hungry leopard bounding toward it. The dachshund thinks, I’m in deep trouble now! But then it notices some bones on the ground and immediately settles down to chew on them. Just as the leopard is about to leap, the dachshund exclaims loudly, “Boy, that was one delicious leopard! I wonder if there are any more around here?” Hearing this, the leopard halts its attack. With a look of terror, it slinks away into the trees. “Whew,” says the leopard. “That was close. That dachshund nearly had me.” Meanwhile, a monkey that had seen the whole thing decides to put this knowledge to good use, trading it for protection from the leopard. The monkey goes to tell the leopard it has been duped. The leopard is furious. “Here, monkey, hop on my back and see what’s going to happen to that conniving canine!” Now the dachshund sees the leopard coming with the monkey on its back, and thinks, Uh-oh, what am I going to do now? But instead of running, the dog sits down with its back to its attackers, pretending it hasn’t seen them yet. As the leopard and monkey get close enough to hear, the dachshund says, “Where’s that monkey? I sent it off half an hour ago to bring me another leopard!” By the way, this story ****.
