The Strange-Tale NPC Only Wants an Ordinary Life

My name is Gu Qi. I'm 25 years old. I live in Bishuiwan, G City, Country C. I'm unmarried and work as a pediatrician at a nearby private hospital. I start work at eight every morning and finish at five thirty. I don't smoke or drink, and I sleep very well. I always have a glass of warm milk before bed, rarely suffer from insomnia, and sleep straight through till morning. I'm conscientious and responsible at work. I love reading, go for an hour-long run every day, and get a physical every year. All my test results are normal. I'm just an ordinary doctor who wants to live an ordinary life. I've lived this way for 25 years. Just when I thought it was about time to start dating and think about the big things in life, a group of "outsiders" came along and ruined my routine. / One day, more than a decade ago, strange phenomena known as "Urban Legends" suddenly appeared all over the world. Entrances to otherworldly spaces populated by ghosts and monsters began appearing at random in every corner of the world, pulling innocent passersby inside at any moment. Unless they fulfilled the conditions of these anomalies and survived to the end, they couldn't escape the world of ghosts and monsters. Countless people died in these other worlds. In response to the Urban Legends that could drag passersby away at any moment, organizations began springing up everywhere. Then, one day, a rumor started circulating among these organizations. [The world of Urban Legends is all connected. There's a neutral NPC in there. If you can get them to help you in a crisis, your chances of survival go way up.] And so Gu Qi, the only completely human person in the world of Urban Legends, saw his ordinary life turn into a shrieking, terrifying mess under the constant harassment of a bunch of bizarre "outsiders." Gu Qi: Whenever I run into weird people, ghosts appear around me. Gu Qi: My perfectly ordinary, 25-year-long daily life, governed by the scientific principles of socialism, suddenly had my whole worldview shattered and turned into total chaos. Gu Qi, world-weary: Don't drag me into this. I'm just an ordinary pediatrician. I want to live a normal life, not switch careers and become a professional ghost hunter. . Do you believe it? An inhuman monster can fall deeply in love with a human. They see that person as their haven, their heartbeat, their honey, the poison they willingly swallow. Don't disturb their beautiful dream. Don't touch their heart. [An insanely possessive, clingy nonhuman top x a doctor bottom forced to change careers, who can take on ten people at once] [Before You Read]: The blurb includes a JoJo reference. A screenshot was saved in 2021. One-on-one romance. The love interest doesn't take human form for a long time, and their original appearance is Lovecraftian and seriously sanity-straining. There may be some errors in the medical knowledge. The protagonist is the only completely human person in the world of Urban Legends. Gugu isn't a medical professional. Any medical knowledge involved is based on limited information found online, so if you spot any obvious errors, Gugu will verify them and do their best to correct them. Reading should be fun, so if you're not enjoying it, feel free to stop. Let's part on good terms, and maybe we'll meet again. I hope you find a story you like even more! I'm building up a backlog. I'll start this one after I finish the novel I'm currently working on. Theme: Love life, and stay positive and optimistic every day.
