The heroes have me surrounded. My health bar bleeds red. One more hit could end me. The players think I'm the monster of this world. They don't know the truth. They don't care. People say you can fight the fate forced upon you-that a villain doesn't have to live like one. But for me, it wasn't that simple. I wished this was just another light-hearted isekai-missions, plot, level up, be loved, be happy, even as a villain. If only my game were that simple. But no... it wasn't even a game. Not for us humans. Now, with every side gunning for me, I have one final offer: Give us our freedom... and I'll give them an ending they'll never forget. One battle. One choice. One villain's last deal.

"You know how angels are supposed to be kind, loving, mature, and all in all are supposed to guide you to do the right choices? Supposed to give you hope, and not tell you 'Don't look at me, you're the one who's supposed to die tomorrow'? Then I got the real sucky angels, because they gave speeches worth sh*t" ---------------------------------- A prophecy to destroy worlds. A hope to save them all. A hope, suspected to be kind, selfless, and wise upon their years. Unfortunately for the realms of Aether, Gaia, and Nether, the hope turned out to be none of these. Adrianna Summers' life was turned upside down when she found out by sheer coincidental accident (a.k.a: A planned attack by demons) that for the past 17 years of her life, her fate was to die a horrible, painful death as a sacrifice for the 3 worlds to live on in peace, hope, and balance, and not to be destroyed, and that she has been protected (and possibly guided by) 6 angels, all of whom have met her previously in her life, and have been observing (*cough* creeping *cough*) her to protect her. Worst of all, she's expected to just willingly die for 2 realms she hasn't even seen! Ya, not happening. Can the angels convince Adrianna to change her mind? Can they stop the worlds from crumbling apart? Will Adrianna accept her already decided fate? Or will she change her fate, and leave the worlds to crumble?

Hi, I'm on an editing spree, sorry you have to see it like this. I offer my deepest apologies to those people who supported me on making this whole thing ages ago and is expecting to see it's continuation, I can't, for the life of me, understand my own train of thoughts back then and is unable to come up with a viable continuation for the story as it is. So "Try me" is gonna undergo a large shift on most everything, to fill some plot holes I missed back then and be able to continue it, at least. "Try me" probably won't be named "try me" at all when I'm done with it. but won't you atleast "TRY"adding it to your (things-to-read-in-the-far-future) reading list? Coz it's still the same story at heart. Basically, a human-werewolf romance with slight complications, (like the girl came from a werewolf family but was born human so she runs away, some ..something like that, oh and she'll be eating a bunch of rabbits, too.) you know, the standard stuff. but the editing is gruesome (by that I mean, my muse is being lazy again) and I don't know how it'll go from here on out. I'M SO SORRY ABOUT THIS!!!
