Don't Throw Away Your Dying Master, He Can Still Be Used After a Wash

[See below for the upcoming story, He Said I Should Become a God of the Eldritch]

Li Miao's master was the renowned Qingxiao Sword Immortal, famous throughout the land for his sword that swept across mountains and rivers, and his aloof, peerless grace.

Because Li Miao loved her master so much, she hid him away on a lonely island and locked him up, hoping they could stay together forever.

But on their wedding day, Qingxiaozi burned himself to death, leaving no remains.

Grief-stricken, Li Miao struggled to retrieve Qingxiaozi's soul. Using her own blood essence as a catalyst, she created a puppet, hoping to bring his soul back in a new body.

After three hundred years of seclusion, the puppet finally awoke.

He opened his eyes and gazed at her, confused and wary. "Who are you?"

Li Miao stared at the handsome, youthful boy before her, stunned.

...What should she do? It seemed her master had lost his memories!

After a moment's thought, Li Miao smiled. "I'm your master."

-

Now that her master had forgotten the past, Li Miao could finally express her love to her heart's content.

"I saved your life, so you must stay by my side forever."

"We are already married. Married couples are supposed to sleep side by side."

A master who listens deserves the greatest rewards.

He craved her touch, so she opened her chest and toyed with his delicate heart.

He coveted her blood essence, so she let him drink his fill until they were both lost in it.

-

Li Miao had thought the lies she carefully wove would keep her master obedient forever.

That was until the puppet fully regained his memories.

Beneath his cool gaze, love and desire twisted into something monstrous.

"Your old crimes are still unpaid, and you still want to deceive your master for the rest of his life... Miao Miao, you have a cruel heart."

"Even so... being deceived by you feels good."

[Reader's Guide]

1. A sweet BG story about healing. The heroine grows over time, and the hero is accepting.

2. The master has become an inorganic lifeform (sort of), but the heroine is his whole body's sensitive spot.

3. The main and supporting characters include unhealthy personalities. Please don't expect them to be morally upright.

4. A character's worldview is part of their characterization and does not represent the author's worldview.

5. Written to indulge the author's tastes. If this hits a sore spot, please stop reading instead of forcing yourself.

[Upcoming story: He Said I Should Become a God of the Eldritch]

Fifty years ago, Blue Star began to suffer a steady stream of invasions by eldritch creatures from beyond the world. A small number of humans awakened supernatural abilities as a result.

Tan Sanxian had spent over a decade pretending to be an ordinary person, but in her sophomore year of college, an organization of superpowered individuals came looking for her.

They invited her to join them in eliminating the eldritch creatures and protecting Blue Star civilization.

At the same time, a line of text formed from red mist appeared before her eyes, accompanied by a deep, indistinct whisper:

[Go and become the Lord of the Eldritch.]

Should she become a human guardian who exterminates the eldritch, or a god worshipped by them? It was a good question.

Tan Sanxian chose both.

Countless eldritch races exist beyond the world. They follow different gods and strive to follow the paths those gods have laid out for them.

But the divine path passed down to Tan Sanxian was to forcibly brand the eldritch with her faith and make them serve her.

Well-behaved eldritch creatures could become her servants. The disobedient ones could be killed and made into supplements. That was the virtue of a god.

While she was with the superpowered organization, those around her called her a genius, and the organization's leader greatly admired her, granting her special privileges and treatment.

But later, after she stumbled upon a secret kept by the organization's higher-ups, she defected. When she revealed her ability to control the eldritch, she was wanted across the nation.

"Tan Sanxian, secretly keeping eldritch creatures is a high-risk taboo. If you immediately dispose of every eldritch creature and publicly confess your guilt, the organization can give you a chance to reform!"

Confess? Don't get in the way of her protecting humanity!

Tan Sanxian went off on her own, gathering scattered eldritch creatures from across the land and gradually expanding her divine domain.

She raised the little mudball she first recruited until it could corrode an entire city. The pitch-black shadow monster could swallow a skyscraper in one bite.

When humanity's home was invaded on a massive scale and the superpowered organization was routed, the long-vanished fugitive Tan Sanxian suddenly appeared on a global livestream.

People saw her standing against the raging invaders, the wind at her back and over a hundred colossal monsters worthy of nightmares behind her. Her lips curled upward, her eyes filled with murderous intent.

"It's finally my turn to step in."

"Kids, it's time to feast."
