Reincarnated as an Elf Tomboy

Twila wakes up in a war-torn fantasy world, trapped in the body of an elf mercenary just as orc armies breach the walls. With only fragmented memories and thirty minutes to live, she makes a split-second decision that changes everything—and realizes too late this isn't a dream. Now she's stuck playing the role of a rough-talking tomboy mercenary in a world where beautiful elf women are prime targets for slavers. The original owner had the right idea: ruined vocal cords, masculine clothes, and a reputation for being crude enough that no one looks twice. But staying alive takes more than a good disguise. When death corners her in a collapsed tunnel, Twila makes a deal with a demon—trading mysterious philosopher's stones for power. The price? Deliver six stones annually, or become the demon's property. Armed with a raspy voice, deadly skills she's still figuring out, and a growing pile of secrets, Twila has to navigate demonic contracts, brutal combat, and a half-elf wizard who won't stop following her around. In a city that doesn't seem to care about the war raging outside its walls, survival means keeping her head down and her identity hidden. Because in this world, being discovered means a fate worse than death.
