𝐃𝐨𝐧'𝐭 𝐠𝐞𝐭 𝐢𝐭 𝐭𝐰𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐝- 𝐈'𝐦 𝐨𝐧𝐥𝐲 𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐜𝐮𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮! ✧・゚ Valeria and Arlo couldn't be more different. She's a mercenary from a commoner family, while he's a Prince. Their paths cross in the most unexpected way, with Valeria being commissioned by the Athelaric Royal Family to save Prince Arlo from a vicious rebel group. Like most girls in her kingdom, Valeria used to have a crush on the Prince. But for the sake of her job, she has completely cast it aside- her sights set on the hefty reward for his rescue. At least at first. Valeria's journey is filled with many surprises- from slaying deadly monsters to experiencing new cultures. Along the way, she joins forces with fellow mercenary, Jae, reconnects with her childhood friend Mosi, and meets a mysterious stranger named Yue. But as time goes on, Valeria realizes that her task may not be as simple as originally stated, and uncovers a plot that has much more than the Prince's life at stake. Valeria finds herself at the intersection of multiple international conflicts- specifically one between the mighty and righteous Light Elves, a mysterious group known as the Hidden, and a broken messiah. Things begin to escalate, and more and more, Valeria begins to realize she might have bitten off more than she can chew. Forget money and comfort- she has to find a way to get herself out of this mess! Recommended age: 14+ (violence, some language, some sexuality) Word count (~270 000) Page count: ~960 Might be one of the longest books on the platform and until I have evidence to suggest otherwise I will continue to say that it is. (^_−)☆ All art is done by me unless otherwise stated. I hope you enjoy this story~ Updating soon! Stay tuned for more in the future! ✧・゚: *✧・゚:*    *:・゚✧*:・゚✧ https://www.instagram.com/crisis__art/ https://www.tumblr.com/crisisworld

But she soon discovers she isn't turning into a zombie - she's turning into something else. --------- Excerpt: I looked up and stared. My reflection looked back at me in the mirror of the dark room. My eyes were literally glowing, there was no mistaking it. It was not a reflection of light, or any of the other excuses I had used or others had assumed. They were glowing a light sapphire blue color. It was not a bright glow, but it was definitely a glow. Glowing eyes were not normal. Okay, at this point I had to admit it, I was no longer normal. What was I then? For that, I had no answer [[Word count: 495,000]] Copyright August 2016. All Rights Reserved. Readers may not copy, alter, or steal this story.
