Getting Cozy with Nonhumans

Lin Manman was an apparently ordinary "human" woman. One day, she was suddenly pulled into a fantastical world. From then on, she dated in a haunted school, petted beasts in the apocalypse, lazed about underwater, farmed in an online game, and finally hit a wall deep in the infinite sea of stars.

The ruler of the boundless deep-sea cosmos reached out a "hand" and lifted her chin. The slick, uncanny touch sent a shiver over the skin at her neck.

It chuckled softly, pressing its cold mask against her tender ear. "Are you afraid?"

Lin Manman looked down at the malicious black-hole vortex swirling beneath her slightly open collar. Calmly, she wrapped her arms around its neck and offered herself into its embrace as if making a sacrifice. "Welcome home."

1. [Don't Listen to the Ghosts]

The Haunted School is a horror mystery novel about an unsuspecting heroine who transfers to a boarding high school famous for its college acceptance rates, but haunted in secret. Lin Manman forgot the heroine's name. When she opened her eyes, she found herself standing at the lectern, introducing herself.

Lin Manman introduced herself earnestly: ...As long as you don't kill anyone, we can be friends.

2. [Parasite]

In the year 4444, the remaining humans and the suddenly appearing parasitic species maintain a delicate balance. An albino abandoned by the parasite clan encounters a girl abandoned by humanity...

Lin Manman: White snakes, white tigers, white deer, white bears! Hah, I want them all!

3. [When the Online Game Gained Sentience]

In 2022 of the interstellar era, intelligent systems with consciousness drew every species into a virtual world. From then on, everyone's level and health points appeared above their heads. A precise, orderly technological civilization regressed into a bloody, primitive world where strength ruled. Someone who only wanted to farm found a little bug...

Lin Manman sat in her vegetable patch and sighed. "You're so picky. Don't tell me you want to eat a programmer?"

4. [R'lyeh]

The sunken palace of R'lyeh suddenly appeared beneath the sea. The ocean mysteriously rose and swallowed the lands where humans lived. Some people inexplicably grew gills that let them breathe underwater. Fear, rejection, resistance, division: human society fell into chaos, while some people secretly slipped into the deep sea to kiss a sleeping mermaid awake.

Lin Manman swished her newly grown tail. "Where should I go for today's seafood buffet?"

5. [Infinite Starry Skies]

People trapped in an infinite world trembled and wondered when these hopeless days would finally end. The ruler of the starry skies coldly looked down on all living things, but all it could think about was where to go for fun today.

Lin Manman stepped out from among the cowering crowd and waved at it. "Over here!"
