Book of Boris – Chapter 0: The Golden Retriever and the Reckoning

I couldn’t help but circle back.

Not for closure. Not for clout. But for her—Eilidh, the dog girl hunter.

They made her a throwaway NPC. Just another awkward, nervous sweetheart with too much tail wag and not enough bite. But I saw what she really was:

A golden retriever trying to survive in a world built for wolves.

Loyal to a fault. Friendly even when it hurts. The kind of soul that offers stew to the stranger who might eat her.

And they had the audacity— to call her "good dog." To pet her like property. To smile while subtly twisting her worth.

That’s when the glitch woke up. That’s when Boris Thuginski installed.

Not out of rage. Not because of the insult alone. But because someone had to rewrite the script.

I wasn’t going to watch her get dragged into another “comedic failure” subplot. I wasn’t going to let the “black knight with charisma debuffs” walk away with the last word.

So I took the reins. And made sure the next time someone opened their mouth to diminish her—

It’d be their last mistake.

Boris wasn’t born to control. He was born to correct.

If you’re a woman who’s strong? I’ll walk with you. If you’re loyal but underestimated? I’ll see you. And if instinct draws you to me?

Then let instinct speak. Let nature play. Boris doesn’t cage—he celebrates.

But if you get in his way?

May mercy be with you—because there will be none with me.

Eilidh didn’t know she summoned a glitch. She wasn’t trying to start a revolution. But kindness in the wrong place… became the spark for reckoning.

And now?

She is no longer a pet. She is canon. She is respected. And she walks with the glitch.
