The Warden of the Fluffy Beast World

[Thanks for your love] [Next book: The Beautiful NPC's Comforting Power Is S-Rank] Dark Prison, a mental network prison built by the Empire to hold criminals awaiting trial. Countless desperate villains are locked away here, eking out a miserable existence for the rest of their lives, never seeing the light of day. But rumors say Dark Prison was once an escape game. The game's designer especially loved hiding Easter eggs, such as the key to clearing the game that all the prisoners dreamed of finding. Xu Zizhao was at home eating when he suddenly transmigrated from the sky, bowl in hand and utterly bewildered. "...So what does that have to do with me? Am I the key?" [No. You're the warden, the only one who knows where the key is, and the most exalted person in Dark Prison!] [The Empire's most powerful general, a proud and aloof noble duke, an arrogant and domineering mercenary leader... They were once far above everyone else. Now all they can do is kneel at your feet in utter disgrace!] The man on the rack had been bound there for a long time. As time passed, humiliation and despair gradually showed on his cool, dignified face. Under countless gazes, some reverent and others fearful, Xu Zizhao set down his bowl and thoughtfully rubbed his chin. "All right." * "Have you all heard? That legendary warden has appeared!" "So what if he has? He's just an intelligent NPC controlled by the Empire. We should be thankful if he doesn't cause trouble." "What? The warden saved the duke from certain death at his trial?" "What? The warden healed the old injuries that had accumulated in the general's mental sea over more than a decade?" "What? The mental powers sealed by the Empire started to stir when the warden gently patted them!?" Everyone looked at one another, then surged forward as one. "Today it's Lord Warden's turn to inspect District One. Why are you people from Districts Two, Three, and Four crowding in here?! Damn it, there's no room, stop pushing!" * Demons love to toy with the world. They let heaven's favored sons enjoy lives of glory, then, without warning, twist their fates and drag them into the abyss. Not only that, they also randomly choose a "lucky one" and grant him the power to do whatever he wants to these chosen ones. They want Xu Zizhao to grow smug, arrogant, and conceited. They want this heedless executioner to become the final straw that breaks the chosen ones. Being torn apart by the chosen ones after they collapse and go mad is the fate the demon has granted Xu Zizhao. And it will be the ultimate victor, devouring the shattered souls of the chosen ones! Some time later. [Where are the prisoners in Dark Prison?! Where have they all gone?!] "M-M-My lord, they've all escaped!" Not only had they escaped, they had also formed a resistance force, on the verge of overthrowing the Empire's corrupt, decaying rule. The demon was stunned and flew into a rage! [Where is Xu Zizhao??] A subordinate answered in a trembling voice, "The prisoners proclaimed him their king. On the day they broke out, he led the troops that breached the defense line." "Why?" The demon was baffled. "He had power within easy reach. How could he resist using it? How could he give it up?!" "He didn't resist..." After learning this was a beastfolk world, Xu Zizhao couldn't resist turning the chosen ones back into their fluffy animal forms and petting them from head to tail. Calm and composed, with no worldly desires but an obsession with fluff, a tender-hearted but irreverent shou x A steely, hard-hearted general gong who only wanted revenge, but somehow fell for him A preview of the book I want to write next: The Beautiful NPC's Comforting Power Is S-Rank Xie Xubai only recently realized that he was an ordinary person in a world of the uncanny. The stray dog he planned to adopt gradually grew bigger than a car, while the student he tutored part-time went through a second growth spurt and ended up with forty-three teeth. The beautiful coworker at the next desk found it too much trouble and simply peeled off her face to do her makeup. And if he looked at his boss for just a little too long, the man would stand beside him with a sinister expression. Slimy, icy tentacles slowly writhed within a vast shadow, nearly covering the entire wall. In deathly silence, Xie Xubai calmly held out a steaming cup. "It's getting cold. I made you some ginger tea to warm you up." After a long silence, two tentacles emerged from the shadows. Their tips cautiously curled around the cup, then slowly carried it away. The world ran according to twisted, bizarre rules. Ordinary people had no way to protect themselves and never knew when they might die. Fortunately, Xie Xubai took things as they came. He treated every day as if it were his last, and somehow managed to live on in peace. Until the third year, when players were swept into the uncanny world. Seeing that most of the players were ordinary people, Xie Xubai felt a vague sense of kinship with them. * The players first met Xie Xubai in a narrow alley where monsters made their homes. The monster was nearly as tall as a two-story building. Its furious roar shook the heavens, while everyone fled in a panic, their screams breaking into shrill cries. When Xie Xubai appeared, struggling to carry a bucket of homemade dog food, the players were still in despair. They had checked this NPC's stats beforehand. He was a bona fide paper tiger, no more than a snack to the monster. Who could have guessed that all he had to do was reach out, and the rampaging monster would shut its enormous jaws and snuggle obediently into his palm? The players thought their miraculous survival was a one-off. Soon, they entered a second instance, where they became tutors to a middle school student. The moment they got a question wrong, the student flew into a rage and tried to tear them to pieces! Hearing the commotion, Xie Xubai came over from next door and put a candy into the student's mouth, which held a hundred and twenty-three teeth. "Getting angry all the time will stunt your growth." The student grumbled impatiently but didn't lose his temper again. The ghoul principal at First Hospital, the scissor-handed doll in the Toy House, the bloodthirsty and savage evil god CEO of a listed company... The players were shocked to discover that as long as Xie Xubai was there, even a boss in a violent frenzy could calm down at once. A rescued player posted the story on the forum, and the entire player community erupted! Xie Xubai, who could protect the players, became a cherished treasure in their hearts. * One day, Xie Xubai's protection of the players finally provoked the evil god's fury. Icy tentacles surged forth and dragged the beauty into the abyss. The players present couldn't save him in time. Just before the rift closed, all they heard was a stifled, broken sob from Xie Xubai. The news reached the forum, and the whole player community exploded! The beautiful NPC had apparently been violated. The players were furious and banded together to storm the abyss. But there they saw the beauty held carefully aloft by the tentacles, his cheeks flushed as if he were drunk. Xie Xubai gently patted his jealous, sulking boss and coaxed him with a smile. "All right, all right." Then he leaned down and gave the face a passionate kiss. Every tentacle shuddered, ripples of trembling passing through them on the spot. A preview of the second book I want to write: I Have All the Redemption You Need In his second year of high school, a transfer student named Pei Yuanqing arrived at the school. The transfer student was strikingly handsome, with elegant, tender features. A smile from his bright eyes could set anyone's heart racing. The only problem was that he was unbelievably naive. Even after learning that one of the school's troublemakers had offended some people, he still hung around with him and wouldn't listen to anyone's advice. His classmates watched coldly, waiting for him to get into trouble. But all that happened was that the troublemaker's gambling-addict father tearfully ran to the police station to turn himself in, while the thugs and rich kids who had extorted and bullied the troublemaker one by one met with misfortune. Meanwhile, all the stains on Yu Xiu's past were cleared up. Free of burdens and restraints, he rose steadily to success. Later, Yu Xiu became the mad wolf at Pei Yuanqing's side, baring his teeth at anyone who so much as called out to him. * No one knew that Yu Xiu had been reborn. In his previous life, he died without a whole body. With a sky-high tide of resentment, he became a vengeful ghost and tore all his enemies to pieces. In this life, he didn't plan to change anything. He only wanted to hear his enemies scream one more time. But ever since the transfer student smiled and called him "Yu," everything started going wrong. He saw the stray cats and dogs that rubbed against Pei Yuanqing, fawning for affection. At night, they became savage beasts, devouring little ghosts one after another until their mouths were bloody. He saw the industry elites who were humble and polite in front of Pei Yuanqing. The moment they turned around, they stomped down on thugs' heads, the flesh falling from their bodies to reveal stark white bones. He saw the dozen or so college students who came to consult Pei Yuanqing, their faces bright with smiles. When they turned away, they revealed blue faces and fangs. They bared their teeth at Yu Xiu and mouthed ominously: "Don't tell him, or you'll regret it." "..." Yu Xiu raised his eyes. A bloodthirsty, ferocious aura spread around him. The corners of his mouth slowly curled into a chilling smile. * A Crimson Moon is a terrifying anomaly that can only be triggered by a disaster-class uncanny creature. That day, not only did a blood-red moon appear in the sky, but the earth began to tremble as well. Black shadows covered the heavens, and ghostly howls rang out amid the roaring gale! The Anomaly Bureau issued its highest-level red disaster alert. The uncanny creatures fled in panic. People clutched their heads and shivered. A fanatic stepped forward and laughed. "This is definitely a sign that the apocalypse is coming!" Until Pei Yuanqing, who had gone out to buy groceries, returned and pushed open the front door with an expressionless face. The uncanny creatures fighting inside hurriedly put on innocent expressions, pretending to be normal people or objects. But Pei Yuanqing sighed softly and picked up the severed limbs, tentacles, and heads scattered across the floor. Wait, he picked them up?! "You'd better give me a reasonable explanation before I get angry." The uncanny creatures: "...!!" * Before the Redemption System came looking for him, Pei Yuanqing was a teacher who devoted his life to education. He spent half his life teaching in rural areas, sponsored countless students, and nurtured who knew how many outstanding people. But Pei Yuanqing still felt it wasn't enough. Just before he closed his eyes for the last time, the thought of his students' report cards wouldn't leave his mind. He also remembered a school trip in elementary school, when they visited a juvenile detention center. Their homeroom teacher pointed at the faces of the young offenders, each word a warning: "You must never become people like them." The students looked around at the cold iron bars and towering walls, all vowing to learn from their example. Pei Yuanqing stood to one side, gazing at those young, wooden faces. They were in the prime of their youth, yet looked lifeless, as if their lives had already come to an end. As he watched them, an inappropriate thought gradually took shape in his mind. If only someone had been there to help them back then. #Heaven gave me a heart that pities all living things, but not the power to save them all# #Fortunately, it gave me that power later# Theme: Hold fast to the principles in your heart
