<p>Valentine just wanted to live her life in peace.</p> <p>A good job, a good man, good money.</p> <p>Everything was going just fine, until it wasn't - and that's what always happened in The Land, that big city she was living in, that barren piece of land sitting at the crossroads of multiple worlds. Monsters, gods, conmen, showmen, just straight-up pricks. They all gathered here, they always found a way to single you out in a crowd, to make you feel cheap. They always found a way to ruin it for you.</p> <p>Valentine bit her lips, clenched her fists.</p> <p>Still, she would have it her way.</p> <p>She would find a way to live through this.</p> <p>[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]</p> <p>**</p> <p>This story is about people struggling with things bigger than them in a world mixing magic and modern tech. It'll be cut out in arcs, the first one is already written. I'm waiting for feedback before planning the second one (it's not a threat, I just want to adjust my writing style if people can't follow it). Updates will be once a day, twice around the weekend until the end of the arc because I have no patience.</p>
