Doomsday: Why Run When My Pets Are So Adorable?

[Apocalypse + Lovecraftian horror + absurd comedy + overpowered protagonist + perception gap]

“My little octopus just wants to give you all a hug!”

Faced with vicious marauders who are wailing, handing over everything they own, and begging him to take his “pet” and get lost, the socially anxious tech geek Su Ming looks utterly innocent.

The adorable things he sees, like “rolling balls of flesh” and “little birds who love to sing,”

are, to everyone else, masses of flesh covered in tentacles and eyeballs, and unearthly music capable of tearing souls apart!

When the apocalypse arrives, everyone else is screaming and fighting to survive, while Su Ming frets over how to make his “little cuties” more popular.

After awakening the [Adorable Pet Paradise] System, Su Ming thinks he can spend the apocalypse enjoying a lovely time with cats and dogs.

Little does he know that he has a “perception barrier.” All the creatures he summons look like cute little mascots to him, and he is immune to their mental pollution. He can’t figure out why everyone freaks out and runs for their lives when they see his “little cuties,” or why they even offer him supplies.

Upgrading his creatures depends on “love points,” which are actually other people’s fear and despair, automatically converted by the System.

And so Su Ming races headlong down the path of being the only one who sees cuteness while everyone else sees terror.

Anyone who tries to hurt him or his “pets,” as well as any well-meaning person who tries to “correct” his perception, will experience a feast of the most extreme terror.

In the end, thanks to his “cute and powerful” pet army, Su Ming accidentally becomes the apocalypse’s most dreaded and, against everyone’s will, most popular “Cute King.”

“So my little cuties are this strong? That’s amazing! Now they can protect even more people!” said Su Ming, the ultimate oblivious black-hearted shut-in and adorable pet enthusiast with a perception disorder.
