we're 2 steps away from you writing for the Sledge Queen or smth
Decaying Winter may not be as popular as it used to be, but why not try out a more niche game.

And with a great amount of force, the Sledge Queen had reduced her current opponent into a red pulp in the snow. Such as the case with many before this one, all thinking they could try their luck with her and leave in disappointment when they failed. If they even survived at all.
She suddenly perks her head up in front of her, spotting an Agent approaching. Another brave or foolish one that would dare to encroach on her land.
The Raiders around her ready to attack, but she raises a hand up to stop. This one was hers.
Military Axe Raider: “Ooh boy, this one is going to get it now.”
Fire Axe Raider: “They won’t even last a minute, they look so underprepared! We probably won’t even find anything good on them when she’s done.”
The Sledge Queen doesn’t wait for you, she makes the first strike as she charged with her hammer at the ready. You lift your military axe up to block her attack, which makes her fall back to the ground. She quickly recovers as she does a combat roll to the side and gets up.
This goes on for a while, you don’t even try attacking her while she keeps trying to strike you from any direction. It got annoying real quick for the Sledge Queen, who decides enough was enough and sweep kicks you off your feet. You land on the snow as she raises her hammer over her head, ready to bring it down on you.
Sledge Queen: “Impressive use of blocking, you actually had me stumbling back there for a while. I…can’t remember the last time that happened. That alone isn’t going to cut it, you couldn’t even land a strike on me when you had the opportunity…”
You: “Well, what if I didn’t want to hurt you?”
Sledge Queen: “Do you take me for an idiot? Every Agent that has challenged me had came for the glory or reward of bringing me down. What will make me think that you aren’t the same? Whatever trick you have up your sleeve will NOT work…”
You: “Yes, I was here for you, but it would’ve been for you…”
Sledge Queen: “Hey, what are you-?!”
Faster than she could react, you pulled out from behind your back a snow flower. The Sledge Queen was…stumped to say the least.
Sledge Queen: “This is…you…huh?”
You: “I know this is a long shot and you’ll probably kill me afterwards, but at least I wanted to show you how I feel…”
The Sledge Queen hesitated for a second before quickly taking the flower, inspecting it to see any tricks or traps you could’ve had on it. She only emits a chuckle as she shakes her head.
Sledge Queen: “Well, I’ll be. You just showed up here just to flirt with me. I can’t tell if I should be flattered or think you’re incredibly foolish. I was going to turn you into red paste a minute ago!”
You: “So…is that a no?”
The Sledge Queen chuckles again as she grips the collar of your shirt.
Sledge Queen: “Not at all, little novice~”
She headbutts you and you pass out.

Meanwhile on the other side of the map, your fellow Agents were busy with other matters when they receive that dreaded notification.
[An agent on your team is down.]
Agent 1: “Did Y/N seriously go after the Sledge Queen? I saw them eying her castle earlier.”
Agent 2: “Ohhhh, so that’s why they were looking around all over earlier…”
Agent 1: “You knew?!”
Agent 2: “I thought they were looking for loot!”
Agent 1: “Ugh, let’s find better gear and hope we can save them…”

The Raiders watch in surprise as the Sledge Queen dragged your knocked out form back to her throne. She was oddly glowing, whistling with the snow flower tucked in her hair.
Military Axe Raider: “Well, I’ll be damned. The boss did have a soft side after all.”
Fire Axe Raider: “I wish I had gotten a flower too…”
Military Axe Raider: “Didn’t you try to chop that Agent’s head off before?”
Fire Axe Raider: “I HAVE FEELINGS TOO, LEAVE ME ALONE-“
