Astraea Falls

New world, wrong body, again—Astra is reborn amid ruins with only a mysterious boy for company. She's getting exactly what she wants from her second chance, but surviving cold, starvation, and shadow monsters comes first!

After a brutal first life that ended in darkness, Astra awakens in a child's body in the crumbling remains of a dead city. The paraffin-gray skin and tiny frame aren't hers—and worse, this new body still doesn't match who she is inside. But this time, she's determined to live as herself, no matter the cost—even if she has to transform into something powerful and inhuman to do it.

Her only companion is Rubi, a boy whose been sleeping for centuries, speaks a language she doesn't understand, and wields impossible magic. Together, they scavenge through the ruins of Odrysae, dodging shadow creatures that hunt in the dark and learning to survive in a city that died centuries ago... which hides a terrible secret that could destroy everything Rubi believes about his lost people.

For fans of NieR Replicant with a transfem isekai twist.
