Sabina was just trying to catch the subway. One step down the stairs... and suddenly she's in a glowing crystal dungeon where magic is real, monsters have opinions, and she somehow has cat ears. Now every beastman she meets insists she's rare, important, and definitely not supposed to be wandering around alone. Some want to protect her. Some want to claim her. Some don't know what they want - only that it involves her. Sabina just wants caffeine. The dungeon wants something else. And the beastmen? They're about to turn her whole world upside down. A modern girl. A dangerous realm. And a destiny tangled with beasts.

Charlotte is a mech pilot fighting a seemingly endless war against the Uu'k'asht over planetary dominance throughout the galaxy. She's always been sure of her abilities and her unit, until the day the enemy takes her mech down. Now, a prisoner of the Uu'k'asht, her future is unknown and she doesn't know what the next day will bring. She thought they would kill her, publicly execute her, torture her. But the Uu'k'asht seem to have other plans. Ahnekk is just as surprised as anyone when one of the huge metal mech's his battalion is fighting spits out a diminutive, slime-covered creature, that then proceeds to continue killing on the battlefield despite being seemingly helpless. No one has ever actually seen a human before. Only their killing machines. But he does know one thing: This prisoner will turn the tides of war. What he doesn't know is how much she will change his life.
