The Price of Conquering Monsters

Sorry, everyone. Real life has been too busy and exhausting. I'll update whenever I can, so feel free to let the chapters pile up. I'm really sorry!

[Story One]

Zhou, a quiet, distant member of the company's tech department, was exactly Xu Yin's type: handsome and refined, with the air of a cold, aloof intellectual.

Then one day, she saw her boyfriend's usually elegant, long-fingered hands turn into slick, thick tentacles. The look he gave her was no longer tender and caring.

His mouth split open. His pupils contracted mechanically as he stared at her every move. Beneath his pale skin, bulging strips of flesh swelled and writhed. His expression was crazed, unlike anything she'd ever seen. "You think kissing me is disgusting? Then do you know something even more disgusting than kissing?"

[Story Two]

Is it reality, or an illusion?

The immersive full-dive game [Misty Mountains] was released, and Song Ning got access to the beta test in search of a thrill.

He was muscular, his bronze skin gleaming. Wearing a cheap white T-shirt, he worked in the fields, looking like an honest, hardworking, reliable man.

He must be an NPC in the game, Song Ning thought, unconcerned.

But the story gradually took a turn beyond anything she could have imagined. After beating the game, Song Ning woke from a nightmare and swore never to play another full-dive game, and never to see that... terrifying, greedy man again.

She pushed open the door and screamed.

The deceitful, cunning python had made it into the real world.

His gaze was infatuated, and he was so excited he could barely contain himself. "Ningning, if I kill you, can we still be together?"

[Story Three]

Thirty years after the last capture, the research institute caught another mermaid. It was quiet, docile, and easy to control, showing none of the species' usual violent aggression.

Xu Zhixia was the most talented young scholar at the institute, so she was the obvious choice to take charge.

The mermaid's youthful face was beautiful and ethereal, but Xu Zhixia was cold, proud, and an extreme egoist. She felt no pity for any nonhuman species.

Gripping its delicate chin, she threatened coldly, "You belong to me now. Be a good pet."

The mermaid looked at her obediently, its round eyes as beautiful as glass.

Six months later, the research institute was exposed, and the public condemned it in an uproar. Xu Zhixia was forced to stop her experiment.

A buyout. A restructuring.

She didn't care who her new boss was. She only worried that her career might be over.

Someone opened the office door, and Xu Zhixia saw a familiar face.

Unfortunately, the mermaid had changed. It had become her superior, and it was no longer docile and obedient.

He looked down at her, his expression twisted and tinged with madness. "You belong to me now."

[Tips]

A collection of standalone stories. All are one-on-one romances with happy endings and no melodramatic angst.

The male leads are obsessive, eccentric, and prone to going crazy. The nonhuman descriptions are graphic and sanity-draining, so some readers may find them uncomfortable. Please proceed with caution if that's not your thing. Mwah.
