A Dog Needs a Master

Erabelle Vermilion (Age 23) had a life that frequently took the second-worst turn possible.

A life of constant self-consolation—Well, at least it’s not the worst!

“That’s a familiar face, isn’t it?”

Nine years after getting stuck in a book, she’d sworn never to get involved with the protagonist.

But just as the path home finally opened before her…

“Young Lady, would you like to enlist in the military?”

She got caught.

The kind of person for whom even checking the number of victims required access to government records. The cause of a ruined ending where even the original love interest was turned into a battalion’s plaything. And worst of all—completely, unapologetically, morally bankrupt.

Still… getting a job’s better than getting captured and killed.

“I’ll do my best!”

For a stateless outworlder, survival was always the first priority.

Science fiction? No.
Space fantasy with cosmic monsters? Yes.
