《Bloom》Seedling 49

While the various individuals are going through the Madness Maze, I have a bigger problem being solved.
Namely that.
That part of every Dungeon that leads to fear crawling in the gut.
That’s right!
Floor Masters!
They also go by other names like Party Killers, Death Incarnate, Bosses, and Rat Bastards.
Every floor boss is unique, and every five bosses is uniquely powerful, but it’s the bosses every fifty levels that will be broken.
*Broken?*(Dryad)
*Broken!*(Tree)
Broken, as any indecent gamer understands the term, is a boss that is without question, unfair.
Not just unfair they cheat.
For instance, a boss that when they hit 5% on the health meter they gain Aura of Life Drain. Then of course they proceed to wipe the entire army arrayed against them in three seconds flat.
Or the demonic type boss that is supposed to be weak to holy, but actually powers up from holy attacks.
Those types of bosses are considered ‘broken’ some even say ‘cheats’ in any manner, those types of guys are what I’m aiming for.
*Didn’t you want to gain more refined Chaos from the delvers too? In that case don’t all the bosses need to be defeatable?*(Dryad)
*….why did you have to remind me!*(Tree)
In that case every ten floors. I can’t have a cheat boss right away I guess, that would scare away the delvers.
Since the population of dungeon running according to Emily is around 80% male, that is a good thing.
Female floor bosses are always a big draw.
*Abilities are up to you, but aesthetics is mine!*(Dryad)
*What? I can design nice looking female bosses too!*(Tree)
*No. Just….no.*(Dryad)
*This requires a valid explanation!*(Tree)
*Breasts too big, legs too long, hands too soft, eyes too large, hair too easily used as a handhold in combat. Limited magic, limited physical structure, limited….*Dryad*

*Those! Those were just…experiments! Yes! Experiments! Of course they might go wrong…*(Tree)
The sense of a strict schoolteacher staring me down overtakes me and I crumble. Dryad might do something drastic if I don’t fold…
However, I have a plan, heh.
*…Aesthetics is yours, dear.*(Tree)
*I always knew you were a Wise tree, as well as a Chaos one.*(Dryad)
Heh, heh!
I might have lost on designing the body, but the gear is still all up to me!
Take that!
The incredible strategy of piles of silver, to acquire mountains of gold!
I’ll show her, I’ll make the Floor Boss gear so damn good it’s practically a cheat of its own!
To make matters even better, I can try the new technique that came to me when I made the Madness Maze.
Yes, this Soul Binding idea can’t possibly fail me. Dryad will be so surprised!

Shaman
*** Let's get this clear now: the MC is a trans woman. This is not a gender-bender. It's set in a fantasy world but the exploration of identity and gender is reality-based. Not a joke, not a kinky turn-on. If this is a problem for you, please just act like an adult and look elsewhere for something to read. *** Rating breakdown, since that should be public info: 2 x 5*, 1 x 4.5*, 1 x 3*, no reasons offered. A human shaman and healer returns from several years with the mysterious shyani, accompanied by her shapeshifting puma best friend. A valued friend, from her previous identity as a male student physician, has acquired an old shyani book, and extremists will not tolerate its presence in human hands. But back in human lands, the question arises: which world does she belong in? Generations ago, human explorers found a continent inhabited by an utterly alien culture of shapeshifting weyres and the shyani, humanoids who prefer dusk and dawn. A truce of sorts was eventually reached: humans claimed the rich lowlands, and the shyani and weyres retain the highlands. Along the border, practicality often rules, but on either side, old grudges linger in some hearts. As a student physician, Corin tried to take his own life, unable to bear the countless tiny wounds inflicted over twenty-one years of lying to himself in order to be, or pretend to be, socially acceptable. At the last improbable instant, intervention came, in the form of a spirit fox, who led him away from the existence he’d known in the lowlands and into the highlands. There, a puma weyre rescued him, and a shyani shaman helped him find his true self and offered a rebirth, a life with no more lies, and an important role to fill. Now a shaman and healer in her own right, Vixen who was once Corin learns that the one human who mattered to her in her previous life, then a fellow University student, has come into possession of an old shyani book, and the more fanatical shyani and weyres will stop at nothing to reclaim it and punish Jared. Even though it means going back into the lowlands and facing Jared as a woman, she can’t bear to just look the other way. This should be a short visit, just long enough to see the book into the proper hands and make sure Jared will not be killed for having it, and then she can return to the shyani community that has accepted her as their shaman. And, of course, her feline best friend Dayr insists on coming with her. But Jared is now a Lord, with considerable wealth and power, and his response to her presence isn’t one she expected. After years living with the shyani, she sees everything around her from a new perspective, and that makes it difficult to keep to the plan of making as few waves as possible. As an honoured guest in a highborn house, with only Jared aware that she has ever been anyone else, Vixen finds herself questioning where she belongs: with Dayr and the shyani, who accept her gender without question but have to make allowances for her differences, or with humans, in the culture she grew up in even though her past would mean a major scandal? *** Trigger warning: there are scenes of Vixen's previous life, which include some difficult moments and culminate in an (obviously unsuccessful) attempt at suicide before she finds her true self and a better life. Please be careful! This is the ONLY reason for the "Traumatising Content" tag.*** Complete stand-alone novel, 96K words. Also available on Scribble Hub and as a free ebook.
