A second chance at life is a golden opportunity that is not easy to find, except in isekai anime or manga. The main character dies, and sometimes they have the chance to be reborn in an alternate or fantasy world. The main character could be an average person in their new world, but one thing is most likely certain: they get special powers as compensation.
Some protagonists hit the jackpot by reincarnating as royalty or part of a royal family as a prince, princess, king, or queen. These characters with recollections of their previous lives tend to live their new lives to the fullest since they have resources at their disposal.
