I Ate the Tutorial Boss

Morrow is a monster.

Amelia thinks he’s big-brother material. He has teeth wherever he wants them, a beautiful new body, and an appetite for making other people’s problems much shorter.

She has purple curls, a scuffed shoe, and the alarming belief that he ought to help. They’re trapped in a dungeon that treats people as property.

Its cheerful System charges for escape, its doors bite back, and its boss has a deeply irritating habit of surviving things that should have killed him.

Morrow intends to correct that.

Preferably with his mouth. Amelia wants to get home to both her Mommas.

Tropes: monster protagonist, protective monster and child, found family, eat-to-learn trait absorption, tutorial boss with a respawn core, ticking clock, sky ship escape, sapphic side romance (what these mean)
