When I find out I’ve been selected for the Starlight Lottery, I’m sure my luck is finally changing for the better. Until I’m sent to an ocean planet… as an alien Kraken king’s freaking pet.

Until I’m sent to an ocean planet… as an alien Kraken king’s freaking pet. Sure, he’s nice to look at, all muscley human on top and squiggly tentacles on bottom, but I’ve never been more bored in my entire life.

Well, let’s just say maybe I am about to get lucky after all.Welcome to the Starlight Brides Lottery - luck is optional, but the hot alien is guaranteed. less

He's the scorching hot naga assassin who needs a fake bride...who am I to argue?I missed first contact over a century ago, and my guard job on S.C Britannia is no more than pushing buttons.

I joined the military for excitement and all I get are drunk idiots and the occasional smuggler to break up the boredom.Which is why I entered the Starlight Lottery in the first place.
