Extras will appear at random, sometimes as story extras and sometimes as bonus chapters, so don't miss them! ----------------Synopsis---------------- If you asked what humans were to them, they would smile and answer, "Soft, fragile, easy to toy with. But delicious, and worth savoring." Story One: Lust - A lofty, saintly cleric x a lowly slave with a secret crush The first time he saw her was in a church. She dipped a slender willow branch in water and touched it to his brow, wishing him victory. Sunlight streamed through the stained-glass dome and fell across her gentle, compassionate face. She looked like a god. The second time he saw her was in the filthiest slave market. He had lost everything and was being bought and inspected like livestock. Numbly, he bit down on his tongue, wanting to die, but then he heard the voice that had appeared only in his dreams. "Thirty Lusi. I'll buy him." They lived together. She was just as gentle and noble as he had imagined, kind and pure. He carefully hid his filthy desires and concealed his abnormal body, too lowly to dare approach her at all. He simply couldn't understand why, every time he woke up, his body was covered in strange red marks. Story Two: Gluttony - An innocent, cruel crybaby x a knightly male househusband who feeds himself to a demon He was humanity's strongest knight, their last hope against the Evil God. He was disguised as a sacrifice and sent into the Evil God's castle. On the first day, he saw countless skeletons. The castle's scarlet carpet seemed to be stained with blood. On the second day, in a room at the end of the corridor of bones, he found a crying girl. He asked, "Who are you?" With tears streaming down her face, the girl reached out a delicate hand. "Everyone's dead. I'm all alone... Now it's just the two of us..." He took her hand, and boundless sorrow and tenderness welled up inside him. He promised her, "I'll protect you. I'll kill the Evil God. We'll both survive." Later, the girl clutched his ankle, her pale fingers traveling up his calf. She was still crying, her tentacles, normally used for eating, wrapped around his body, covered in marks. "I'm hungry." Leaning against his chest, she asked timidly, "Can I eat you again today?" Story Three: Wrath - A tsundere, vindictive dragon with explosive temper x an alchemist who endures humiliation and works himself to the bone Creating life is the highest goal of every alchemist. And he created a dragon. The dragon, who called herself a witch, pinned him down, tore at his body, and mocked his faith. It didn't matter. He knew he was about to successfully bring true life into the world. That life was now inside his belly: the dragon's "egg." Story Four: Sloth - A half-dead, emo, lazy Beta queen x a devoted, workaholic Alpha general Story Five: Pride - A school ghost-story boss disguised as a student x a saintly exorcist disguised as a teacher Story Six: Envy - A beautiful, delicate blind widow like a climbing vine x a twisted, obsessive menace raised by a witch Warnings: 1. GB, GB, GB. Important enough to say three times. The female leads have normal anatomy, no extra appendages, but each has her own strengths. 2. The stories take place in different worlds and time periods, but the female leads know each other and share a special place where they can meet. Female leads from different stories may make occasional appearances in one another's stories. The order of the stories may differ from the synopsis. 3. The female leads aren't all virgins, but the male leads are. Each female lead is the strongest in her own world. She may play the pig to eat the tiger or have her powers temporarily restricted, but at her full strength, she is always the strongest. 4. There is no discipline dynamic in Story One. The male lead was sold as a slave, but he and the female lead do not have a master-slave relationship in any meaningful sense. ---Upcoming Story 1: The Female Lead Who Gets Courted [GB]--- Zhan Yan came from a poor background. She had a gambling-addicted father, a seriously ill mother, a greedy younger brother, and a broken heart. She had struggled through twenty years of mud, lies, and scams, like a pitiful little flower battered by wind and rain. Then one day, when Zhan Yan opened her eyes, the world had suddenly changed. The aloof upperclassman who had always ignored her inexplicably began showing concern. The arrogant young heir she met on the road splurged on her. A powerful CEO from a wealthy family claimed to be her biological brother, though they had different parents. A twisted, gloomy top-tier star tried to imprison her and force her into a Stockholm syndrome romance... Meanwhile, a System suddenly appeared in her mind, frantically warning her to guard her heart. If she truly gave her love to anyone, it would be game over and everything would reset to zero. Zhan Yan thought for a moment. "I promise I won't fall in love with any of them, but I have two questions." System: "Ask!" "Can I sleep with them?" "???" "Can I spend their money?" "..." Well... it might not be impossible after all ** One day, a strange System suddenly appeared. It threatened its players with the things most important to them, forcing them to pursue a girl named Zhan Yan. To ensure the courtship went smoothly, the System gave the players access to an affection meter that updated in real time. After a while, the players finally discovered two unbelievable truths. 1. This damn System was mass-produced, and there was more than one player. 2. The numbers on the affection meter weren't the target's at all. They were the player's own. Note: There are no simultaneous relationships with multiple people. ---Upcoming Story 2: Don't Bully the Kitty [GB]--- If the world's social hierarchy were a pyramid, cats would be born at the top. They have human intelligence and animal agility. Their cat ears and tails prove their status. They are noble and elegant, looking down on everyone beneath them. System: So your mission is to bully cats. The Hosts all responded, "Just what I wanted." Story 1: A sweet, greedy, obsessive younger sister x a gentle, obedient Ragdoll cat older brother System: You and your cat have depended on each other for survival, like siblings. But after he became a cat, he easily rose to the top and is about to become the heir to a wealthy family, with a smooth life ahead of him. You're jealous and resentful, and you've gone mad. You vow to take everything away from him, drag the bright moon from the sky into the mud, and climb to the top by stepping on him. Ji Ningxin tilted her head and smiled, pointing. "The bright moon in the sky? You mean that one?" In the corner of the cramped room, the cat, who should have been as gentle and lovely as a refined young master, leaned against the wall, covered in wounds, eyes lowered and silent. System: ??? Wait, the mission never said you had to bully him this badly! Aaaah!!! Story 2: A stern, ruthless top researcher x a Maine Coon test subject who became disabled after being victimized System: You're a mad scientist devoted to studying the cause of beast transformation and achieving the evolution of all humanity. Your cat once held a high position, but was framed and left with disabled legs. He has fallen into your lab as a test subject. You'll perform all kinds of inhuman experiments on him, making him suffer and break down until he goes completely mad. Zhu Qing: ... Zhu Qing picked up a syringe and scalpel and walked toward the cat, who was tightly bound in restraints, pretending to be calm even as his tail puffed up. After the first experiment, the System let out a piercing shriek. System: Host, stay calm! Don't make it this intense right away! The cat's going to panic to death!!! Story 3: A prisoner and con artist whose mouth is full of sweet lies x a cold, gloomy snow leopard warden who was once deceived in body and heart System: You're a con artist, a smooth talker who puts money first and lies as easily as breathing, with a perfect record. Your cat comes from a wealthy family. He's rigid, serious, cold, and proud, with a bright future ahead of him. You're going to deceive him in body and heart, making him lose everything he cares about. Yu Ran looked at the target's holographic photo and rubbed his chin. "Uh..." System, nervously: "Is there a problem?" Yu Ran: "But I've already conned this one once... no, three times." System: "..." Yu Ran: "It's fine, it's fine. I'll start on the fourth time right away." System: I think I'm probably the most useless and least demanding System in the world. My Hosts don't need me to urge them, and they always go far beyond expectations. My only purpose is to remind them not to go too far. But for some reason, those cats who were supposed to be stubborn and haughty, who'd rather die than give in, all ended up going soft, ears drooping, nestling up to their Hosts and asking in sweet voices for cuddles and kisses. Theme: Even after going through hardships, you still deserve to meet someone who loves you.
