As an exemplary employee of the Transmigration Administration, A had always worked diligently.
Until...
He got reassigned.
To the Nonhuman Division.
A (sneering): You can take this job and shove it!
[It is not human. It knows nothing of worldly affairs and understands nothing about love.]
[Desire is all it has. You must satisfy its every need.]
1. The Snake on the Deserted Island
A plane crashed, leaving him stranded on a deserted island with a group of people.
The island was dangerous after dark, and countless extinct species lived there.
And then there was the lake at the island's center
It watched him, its cold, vertical pupils reflecting the group's entranced eyes.
Beneath the gently rippling water, a long, thick snake tail swam slowly.
[The snake that kills everyone who sets foot on the island]
2. The One Beneath the Deep Sea
Seville was the most famous pirate in the Sicilian Gulf, notorious for his cruelty and for plundering countless riches and treasures.
Then one day, he suddenly vanished, leaving behind only a story that might or might not be true.
Pirates everywhere were in an uproar.
Legend had it that the deepest waters of the Sicilian Gulf held all the loot Seville had plundered in his lifetime.
Including a mermaid said to grant immortality.
[The treasure no one knows about]
3. The Spider Building Its Nest
At the start of the apocalypse, the disaster wasn't too severe yet.
To avoid the tide of corpses, he led his group toward the A City base.
After crossing a perilous forest, they reached Z City, once known as the "Brilliant Pearl" before the apocalypse.
It was eerily silent. To everyone's astonishment, steel-like spider silk covered the entire city.
In the middle of the desolate city, the landmark it had once been so proud of was wrapped in spider silk, forming a snow-white nest.
It stood atop the nest, half human and half spider.
The spider, in heat, had found an intruding "bug."
[In the apocalypse, a gigantic nest blankets the city, and no one can escape]
4. The Propagation of the Species
On September 28, 3202, scientists discovered a dead extraterrestrial organism aboard the International Space Station.
To study it further, they brought it back to life.
In the transparent incubator, the sleeping organism opened all thirty-two of its eyes.
It stared at the researcher outside the glass, its compound eyes reflecting the fragile, warm body of a human.
As the last survivor of its species, its genetic memory told it that this would make an excellent brood nest.
[Reproduction is an instinct of life.]
[As the sole survivor, it needs more of its own kind.]
After completing his mission and returning to the Transmigration Administration
One diligent employee, A: He was already trying his best to do the job, but he got reassigned for no reason and his bonus was cut in half. Can't he indulge himself a little?!!!
Besides, he did ask for consent, okay?!
