Forced to Be a Tentacle Monster's Daddy

A frail, soft-hearted office worker and straight man is forced into being a mom bottom × a gloomy, tentacled son top × an occasional cannon-fodder top who appears out of nowhere.

When a soft-hearted straight man gives in once, he gives in every time, and ends up taking a huge d*.

Heh ;-)

He got a mother complex, so he wrote this.

Ye Zhao was a kind office worker with a modest amount of savings. He jumped into a river to save a drowning child, but when he climbed out, everything around him had changed.

Ye Zhao stared at his unfamiliar surroundings, bewildered.

Before he could react, a group of oddly shaped people appeared before him. A snake tail coiled around him, lifted him up, and carried him off to be locked in a research institute.

Ye Zhao finally realized that he had transmigrated!

From what he could tell, this was a world polluted by monsters. Humans had been driven to extinction by genetic pollution, while plants and animals had mutated and taken over this blue planet.

They called themselves the New Humans.

And Ye Zhao had been captured because he looked far too much like the Old Humans of legend.

Ye Zhao: “...” What the hell is wrong with you people!

Seriously, this is urgent. How do I prove I'm not an Old Human?

Ye Zhao was forced to undergo more and more experiments, each test report more detailed than the last.

Worst of all, “they” seemed to have decided to dissect him for the future of the New Humans!

What future?

All Ye Zhao could see was a bleak future of his own.

He gritted his teeth and calmly tried to come up with a plan. As he was caught while trying to escape, a strange tentacle smashed through wall after wall.

Eyes of different sizes were embedded between its suckers, and its tip ended in a split mouth... Ye Zhao only caught a brief glimpse before the mental shock knocked him down.

When he woke up again, the experimental base had been destroyed, and a tiny octopus person lay amid the rubble of the walls?

It was about the size of a baby.

It had a human head, disproportionately large, on a long, thin neck that drooped limply to one side, unable to support its weight. Its lower half was made up of unevenly sized tentacles.

It was seriously sanity-destroying.

It was on the verge of death.

Unable to bear leaving it behind, Ye Zhao picked it up and took it with him, since they had both been reduced to experimental subjects.

Perhaps because Ye Zhao had saved it, or perhaps because he was the first thing it saw when it opened its eyes, he discovered that the octopus was far too dependent on him.

It would stretch out its tentacles to cling to him, its suckers fastening onto sensitive spots. It would open its pitch-black eyes and a mouth full of sharp teeth and call him “Mom.”

Ye Zhao forgot to be afraid. His vision went black. “I'm your big brother.”

The octopus grew quickly. In just one week, it had reached the height of a three-year-old human. Thinking about the swelling in his chest, Ye Zhao finally breathed a sigh of relief. He should be able to release it into the wild now.

But danger lurked everywhere in this world, especially because of his human identity. Ye Zhao's frail body couldn't even get hired as a temp! By chance, he discovered that even after the octopus's tentacles detached, they could still move and obey his commands.

With no other choice, he used the tentacles to disguise himself and provide for them. Once he had earned enough money and their life had settled down,

Ye Zhao gritted his teeth and sent the octopus to school.

But on its first day back, it called him “Mom” again.

Ye Zhao was devastated and helpless. He had finally managed to correct it.

He's its big brother!

And so the human and the octopus lived together.

Aside from the octopus occasionally being too clingy and sucking his chest until it swelled up, it really did treat him like its mother.

That was until Ye Zhao discovered a secret: the octopus he was raising seemed to like him. Its diary was full of clingy words that he just couldn't accept.

“Mom, why are you looking at someone else? Why can't you keep your eyes on me? ... I want to tie a knot between us with my tentacles so badly. Would Mom struggle? Would you be surprised? Would you think I'm disgusting? Would you get angry? You'd be so cute like that too... I want you so much... I want to be tangled up with Mom for all eternity.”

What are you doing?! He had finally convinced himself to raise the octopus as his son, and had even bought a bunch of parenting books. He was taking raising a child seriously... So how did he raise it wrong?

And he'd told it countless times! He's its big brother!

Ye Zhao was beside himself with despair. With no other choice, he could only quietly distance himself from it, little by little.

The octopus waved its countless tentacles, cleaning every speck of dust from the forty-square-meter room. Mom had been so naughty lately. He didn't take its tentacles to work, wouldn't eat the food it had cooled down for him, and was getting closer and closer to his coworkers.

His skin was snow-white and fragile, and he had no way to protect himself, yet he was bold enough to mingle alone among countless New Humans. Did Mom really not know how they looked at him?

Greedy, wanting to swallow him whole, disgusting.

If not for its tentacles, Mom would have become someone else's mom last time, and the time before that.

It felt so awful. It didn't like it.

It wanted Mom all to itself. It wanted to crawl inside Mom's belly and return to the warm nest where it had first belonged.

Ye Zhao: Every day I struggle to survive among monsters while raising a kid. Don't come near me! 😨 What exactly is wrong with my parenting plan? 😱

The octopus: Eat, go to school, and multitask by using my tentacles to beat up the cold-hearted 🙁 monsters who covet Mom. Every day I work hard to grow up and take care of Mom.

The other monsters: Coworker, why don't you look like us? 🤔 You smell kind of nice. Since we're coworkers, let me lick you once 😋. Ouch 🤕 (with a bruised and swollen face). Coworker, your tentacles are nothing like you.

♥♥ From the moment you entered my life, my world had room for no one but you, and the shadow you cast. Don't reject me. Don't be afraid of me.

Please love me. ♥
