When a human kills their first monster, they absorb its soul, gaining access to some of its power.  Most people consider this a blessing.  Power and skills beyond the limits of their old body. In Alissa's mind it's more a curse. Fused with a succubus, she seduces people around her whether she wants to or not.  And so she spends her life working as a delver, heading into labyrinths to gather materials and treasures.  At least until a lucky encounter sends her down the path towards friendsh...

Shiina has it good for a mimic.  Instead of blundering into a short lethal fight after forming, she was scouted out by a gifted rogue and offered a job in a training dungeon, helping adventurers learn about common dungeon traps.  She gets all the surprises she needs to feed, along with superior cooked food, and books to learn about the rest of the world. But when a necromancer upends her pleasant little dungeon job she finds herself drawn into a new opportunity.  A chance to tour the world...

Unfortunately this curse is backed by a raging inferno of hatred...
