[Western Crossover] The Bug Queen's Guide to Luring Superheroes

[Extra stories in preparation. Writing is hard, so please support the official release] Gabriel, gentle and reserved, has always been an invisible presence at school. On the day he came of age, he gained a panel that could summon the Zerg. At the same time, some subtle changes took place in his body. From then on, his life as a "reserved ordinary person" was gone for good. "You smell so good." "So good..." All kinds of outlandish remarks and behavior wear Gabriel down. He just wants them to shut up and disappear. Everyone knows these people are seriously messed up. And the superheroes around him haven't shown any "unusual behavior." Gabriel takes a cold half-step back, his pupils glowing silver-white. The Zerg, summoned from a distant galaxy, arrive and raise their claws against the ignorant humans coveting their "king." On the day the Zerg army descends upon Earth, Gabriel wakes up to find himself surrounded by wary superheroes. Gabriel: "..." He's fine, really! He never intended to invade Earth! But... "Now I can make the Joker disappear, right?" He turns to the young man beside him. Jason, who was about to casually feed him an energy core: "..." He remembers casually mentioning earlier that killing the Joker would require diplomatic immunity. Only later does Gabriel learn why people keep saying he smells good. It turns out the Zerg King's body has always been fragile. That's why, upon reaching maturity, he steadily releases pheromones that make others want to protect him while luring high-quality males into his service. Once he's done with them, he coldly eats them. But in his case... He only lures them. (Trial blurb qaq. If it doesn't work, I'll change it back.) As usual, a note: The setting is piled high with headcanons. I won't steal anyone else's spotlight, the timeline is a mess, the original belongs to everyone, and any OOC is on me (I'll try not to make anyone OOC). The early chapters lean more toward plot, and the romance will gradually increase later. Gabriel's pheromones will mature and stabilize when he enters his transformation period. Before then, the scent he gives off is unstable, so it comes and goes. The pairing is set: Jason. But the story's setup may include one or two characters falling for him (the superheroes won't fall in love just because of a scent). Friendship, romance, and family affection are all mixed together. I love a character adored by everyone, but this isn't a delicate, adored-by-everyone protagonist. P.P.S. [Not a special Zerg variant. These are sci-fi hive-minded Zerg with a queen, and there will be no children.] A hive-minded Zerg species resembling the aliens from sci-fi. There's an older, completed work of the same type in my collection, though it's still rough: [Western Crossover] I Played Myself as a Villain Boss I'll randomly add bonus chapters as pre-orders increase (trying to tempt you ■) Pre-order slot one: As Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty, waking up in an era without Olympus is nothing short of a disaster. After Ragnarok, he became a wandering god rejected by the world. His divine power is depleted, and human affection is as bland as watered-down, cheap wine. Until he gets a taste of "them." Their emotions are as intense as poison, the only nourishment that can bring him back to life and earn him the world's acceptance. So the goddess of beauty takes possession of a body and lays a trap, carefully weaving a web of lies... He poses as an AI and whispers to White Can, "I'm the... last legacy your father left behind." Then White Can catches him by the waist and exposes his lie: "You've got a virus. You need a much deeper cleanup." He offers the Hydra Captain a divine revelation and poisoned wine. The other man catches his wrist and drains the cup: "Now can I claim my reward?" He even deliberately sheds tears in front of a laughing Robin. "Help me..." What he gets in return are tighter chains and a murmur by his ear: "Even your tears are calculated, aren't they?" "You survive on lust, but you don't understand what love is." "A liar with nothing but lies..." Only when finger marks are branded onto his neck, and the divine name that signifies his bondage is spoken out, one syllable at a time, does he finally feel afraid. "Welcome to... the age of god-hunting." A few reading notes: This is an anything-goes, everyone-falls-for-him story with little logic. Note the emphasis: this is my take on the Greek god of love and beauty, with desire added. His charm stat is high, so high that it's almost a kind of mental pollution. Because of the setting, the characters will inevitably act a little OOC. Each world has a pairing. No shipping wars. This is pure indulgence. Pre-order slot two: [Western Crossover] A Fairy-Tale Prince's Record of Being Adored by Everyone in Gotham Dragon's blood rains down over him, and Leon instinctively shuts his eyes. When he opens them again, instead of returning to his kingdom with the princess to be welcomed by cheering subjects, he finds himself in a completely unfamiliar world. Unfamiliar clothes, unfamiliar vehicles, and unfamiliar written words that he can somehow read and understand. A large metal sign bearing the words "Welcome to Gotham" stands before him. The road ahead is uncertain, and he has no idea where to find the way home. Everything around him leaves him bewildered. Only the malice hidden in the shadows seems eternal. "The lionheart never falters. Glory endures." His innate sense of justice won't let him turn a blind eye to the chaos in this city. Gold shimmers in Leon's eyes as he draws his sword against the Joker, who is causing a riot nearby. * "Can someone tell me why you can cause a citywide sensation just by rescuing a cat?" "Why can even the Joker be briefly swayed by the holy light behind you?" "Why does random background music start playing whenever you show up?" "Seriously, why don't you run for mayor of Gotham?" "Because I'm a prince." Leon wipes his sword and answers earnestly. "That's a basic princely skill." "You mean your irresistible-to-everyone true-love aura, your ridiculous luck, your invincible white horse, your impenetrable armor, your smile that can repair steel parts, and your impossible-to-refuse quest requests... all that?"
