In a fantasy world, you work as a baker. Most see your job as peaceful and relaxing. They don't have to get up before the crack of dawn and work their butt off trying to knead 40 pounds of dough, though. You're sick of the mundane, of having to work your tail off day after day with nothing to show for it. You decide that the heck kneading dough and carrying heavy sacks of flour has made you strong. Why not go out and try being an adventurer! So that's what you do! You buy a sword and some basic leather armor and head into your first dungeon! What luck! The first thing you find is a treasure chest. You think this must be your lucky day. But as you open the chest, you're met with a mouth. Before you even have time to react, a giant tongue comes out, wrapping around you and pulling you in. It had been a mimic... The teeth-filled lid closes, and you feel the chest start to move like it's walking. Then a low male voice hums in approval as the tongue licks you.
"Mmmm, such a sweet little human. That's a rare taste... I might not dissolve you right away so I can savor the sweet flavors for longer. How did you come to taste so sweet?"
