Evelyn wishes that her life would calm down. As if rescuing a former empress wasn’t enough of a problem, Evelyn has gotten herself involved in the affairs of dragons, something which could doom even her.

Still, if anyone thinks they can manipulate Evelyn without consequences, they had better think again.

Lost at the far side of the sun, two pilots, five space tourists, and one fluffy dog explore a miniature planet steeped in mystery. The planet is small enough to circumnavigate in a few hours.

It will take scientific ingenuity and a good sense of humor, but these marginally clever castaways stand a chance.

Imagine being the only human left on an Earth occupied by monsters, aliens, and worse. Sounds terrible? Well...it's not so bad when you are an introverted battle junkie like me. Honestly, I was almost starting to appreciate being left behind while everyone else was given the chance to prepare for the mess Earth had gotten itself into. On a side note, it turns out I'm pretty good at hunting monsters. Though dragons and such are a bit out of my league. Just a bit. I survived dozen-something kobolds that wanted me dead, and now it's time to pay back their leader.
