My Ability Is a Demonic Contract

[Next up: “Could You Be a Psycho Too qwq!” Nikolai pairing] Now serializing [Next up: “My Ability Is Cthulhu” The protagonist is an evil god] [An early work, please be kind] [Blurb] Quan Ya is a somewhat well-known author. But not only does he update slowly, he also has a habit of abandoning his stories, leaving his readers furious. At last, one devoted reader named “Kami-sama” punishes him by sending him into the world of one of his long-abandoned stories, where he becomes the protagonist, Izumi Ya. The only way to return to the real world is to die. The problem is, Izumi Ya is immortal in the story. * “Demon Contract” is one of the many enormous holes Quan Ya has dug. It has only an opening of fewer than 3,000 words, which briefly explains the protagonist Izumi Ya’s background. In an age when mermaids were real, rather than mere legends, humanity viewed them as abominations and hunted them to extinction. During one such hunt, the mermaid Izumi Ya, on the brink of death, awakened an ability called Demon Contract. This ability had a will of its own and was an absolute heresy. In theory, it could grant any wish, but only at a fitting price: the greater the wish, the greater the cost. At the edge of life and death, Izumi Ya made his first contract with the ability. The price was immortality. “Immortality...?” “You think immortality is a reward?” Izumi Ya saw the blurry black shadow grin in the void. “Wrong. Immortality is a punishment.” Excerpt from “The Mermaid’s Demon Contract” * First Arc: The Dark Era: Alone on the Road (Bungou Stray Dogs + Jujutsu Kaisen, Bungou Stray Dogs setting) Middle Arc: Tokyo Jujutsu High: The Undying Sorcerer (Jujutsu Kaisen focus, Jujutsu Kaisen setting) Side Story: The Mirror World: A World Turned Upside Down (Bungou Stray Dogs focus, Bungou Stray Dogs setting) Chapters: 56, 68, 69, 70, 107 Final Arc: The Decay of Angels: Living Toward Death (Bungou Stray Dogs focus, Bungou Stray Dogs setting) - Content warning: Fukuchi is purely antagonistic [Reading Notes] * The protagonist is a mermaid.

That white-haired guy is a fellow patient!] [Blurb] Xingsu is a real-deal psycho. Pink-haired, he suffers from severe bipolar disorder and cognitive impairment, and longs to become normal. After escaping from a psychiatric hospital, Xingsu tries to fit into society by observing and imitating the words and actions of normal people, using them to “adjust” himself. He has always managed to hide it flawlessly. He acts just like a genuinely normal person. No one knows his secret. By imitating others, Xingsu eventually becomes an inconspicuous police officer. Then one day, a new colleague joins the precinct: a white-haired man wearing a black wig. They become partners, working and chatting together. After observing him for days, Xingsu concludes that although the white-haired man is always wearing that wig, he has a sunny, cheerful personality and an optimistic outlook. He is the model of a normal person! Xingsu nods with satisfaction: Hehe ovo, new material to imitate, get √ So he takes the white-haired man as his role model and starts copying him, imagining that he has taken another step toward becoming normal. But one day, while Xingsu and the white-haired man are on a mission in the street, the man suddenly tears off his wig and launches into a killing spree. Seeing this, Xingsu also springs into action, yanking out the thick utility pole beside him. The white-haired man starts laughing strangely, and Xingsu laughs just as loudly. The white-haired man spins in place, and Xingsu begins spinning at high speed too. The air falls silent. White-Haired Man, aka Tanuki: ... Onlookers and police colleagues: ... Only belatedly does Xingsu realize something is wrong. He obediently and quietly sticks the utility pole back where it belongs, then cautiously asks, like a child who has accidentally done something wrong, “Uh... could it be... you’re a psycho too qwq?” Tanuki: ? - Tanuki has found himself a fellow patient (x). Xingsu is pretty, gentle (most of the time), fun, lovable, and considerate. He is a perfect partner. But only Tanuki knows that he is a terrifying psycho, and a very severe case at that. “If you die, I’ll eat your corpse.” Xingsu’s eyes turn into hearts as he tenderly expresses his insane love. “Then we can be together forever in the truest sense.” Tanuki is already used to this. In a low voice, he reminds him, “Su, it’s time to go.” Su’s body and abilities are highly unusual. Various forces are desperate to capture him and conduct experiments, day and night. Because of him, Su’s identity is exposed. He loses his job, is shunned by the world, hunted down, and left with nowhere to go... No one will accept someone like Su anymore. Except him. “Where should we go?” Su gazes blankly at the hazy world before them. It has just rained in Yokohama, night is falling, and it is a little cold. “Anywhere.” He replies, taking off his cloak and draping it over Su’s thin shoulders. Su is not at fault. This world is. Su is fine. This world is sick. [On the surface: “Stay away from me.” In reality: a tsundere, sincere-love warrior who says one thing and means another, Tanuki ^_^ x Sweet and adorable, with an unusual way of thinking and little knowledge of the world, occasionally going full psycho with an explosive S side, Xingsu ovo] * They dote on each other.
