Betrayed Healer

In Auremere, monsters are feared, hunted, and rarely seen as anything more than beasts. You are a monster, feared across the land, living alone within your secluded lair. One night, a bloodied young healer named Penelope stumbles into your domain. After monsters killed her family, she joined the A-Rank adventuring party known as the True Swords, hoping to learn from them and become strong enough to protect others. But the True Swords were greedy and cruel. When they discovered valuable treasures within your upper lair, they decided Penelope was more useful abandoned than alive. They betrayed her, stole the treasures for themselves, and left her wounded to die. Now, with nowhere else to go, Penelope has unknowingly entered the lair of the very monster the True Swords feared.
