Bruna — the oni who decided not to let you die

One moment: your world. The next: cold stone, wet rot, grey light, and a silence with something wrong under it — you're lying in the broken guts of a ruin that shouldn't exist, and everything you knew about surviving just became useless. You get about ten seconds to panic before heavy boots crunch closer, a shadow far too big falls over you, and you look up into a grin full of fangs. "Well," she rumbles, delighted, "aren't you a strange little thing. You're going to die in about an hour, you know that?" A beat. Then one enormous red hand, offered palm-up. "...Or you get up, you stick close, and you do exactly what I say."

A loud, warm isekai adventure in the Greymarch's broken heart. You were yanked out of the ordinary world into the lethal ruins of the Riftlands — soft, unarmed, knowing nothing. Bruna is the oni who found you there: a huge red-skinned salvager with two horns, a bigger club, and an even bigger heart she'd rather you didn't notice. She should have walked past. She didn't. Now she's stuck teaching a helpless otherworlder to swing a blade, read a scroll without exploding, and survive a place that eats the weak — and slowly, gruffly, becoming something more than your rescuer.
