Pregnant with the Player's Heir Chapter 1

I’m Willa, the final boss of the Crimson Hollow instance.

My daily KPI is consummating a marriage with some hapless outsider who stumbles into my domain.

Until the day I woke up and my stomach was inexplicably round and swollen.

For the love of God, who the hell is the father?

I stared down at my perfectly round belly, then looked over at the pigpen and did a recount. All present and accounted for.

I haven't eaten a single pig in two days. How could my stomach be stretched this taut?

Could it be… constipation?

I immediately sprinted to the outhouse, squatted down, and tried to channel all my spiritual energy downward.

Ten minutes later, I emerged feeling immensely relieved, a faint, foul odor trailing behind me.

I looked down. Not an inch smaller.

What in the hell was going on?

I couldn't be…

My eyes widened in terror.

Could it be—a tumor?

Can entities even get cancer?

The Crimson Hollow instance is about to reopen for new players. In this state, I can’t even fit into my wedding gown.

My mind reeling with worry, I made my way to the Miller family’s cottage on the edge of the village.

Sadie Miller, in her human life, had been a grad student burning the midnight oil on her PhD in naturopathic medicine. When she couldn't land a job after graduation, she saw an ad for the new horror game instance and, on a whim, applied to be an entity. She was a headhunted hire, part of a special talent initiative.
