It was seven years old, a senior in high school, and had a family of loyal Human servants who dutifully fed It and attended to Its every whim — even if they needed encouragement to do so, at times.</p> <p>It was a great many things. It was large, small, skinny, hairless, smart, stupid, furry, and evil. And good. And Cute. It was especially Cute.</p> <p>It was also a shiny Rock now. Very shiny. It liked the way It glittered in the sunlight, down here in the pitch black.</p> <p>It would know if It was something like a Patchwork Soul.</p> <p>Welcome to One Piece at a Time: a story about a Dungeon Core formed from the damaged remnants of other beings' souls.

If you just can't restrain your morbid curiosity, however… I try to make a habit of putting Disturbing Content warnings in the pre-chapter notes when I foresee possible triggers in a chapter, beyond what I might normally write.
