Her and the Monster

[Seeking follows for the upcoming story The Nightingale Is Ferocious [Male Alpha, Female Omega] _(:_"∠)_]

Story Blurb:

In the year 3385, humanity left Earth.

For a hundred years, in their brutal struggle against the native inhabitants of a new planet, humans built a perimeter with the blood of countless fallen heroes.

In the end, we survived.

Human civilization endured.

Story One: The Tentacle Monster

[A genius mad scientist and the little monster she keeps.]

He hated this place.

The cramped container, the strange smell of the liquid, and the humans who watched him day after day from beyond the glass.

But he hated himself even more: his writhing, grotesque tentacles and the pale face reflected in the glass.

Then one day, the laboratory's power failed.

After escaping, he headed without hesitation for the woman in the white coat.

The woman who had watched him from above through the glass ever since he first became conscious.

He wanted to see fear on that usually calm, indifferent face.

Story Two: The Monster War

[I will eat them, then come for you.]

[Multiple monsters / love triangle chaos / everyone falls for the heroine.]

“I think... there's a man living in my ear?” I struggled to put it into words, stammering to the psychiatrist in front of me. “He's so noisy. He tells me he loves me every day.”

The hand with its distinct knuckles stopped. He lifted his eyes, revealing the narrow gaze hidden behind gold-rimmed glasses.

The incessant muttering in my ear annoyed me, so I lowered my head and missed the shadow behind the doctor, growing until it nearly covered the entire wall.

Story Three: The Magma Monster

“I never thought that one day it would become a person...” I murmured, turning my face away from the camera to look to the side, my gaze nearly obsessive. “No, perhaps I shouldn't call it a person.”

“He stands right in front of you, alive and real. You can touch him, you can talk to him...”

I am the only human left on Earth. Carrying on my family's faith, I came in search of a volcano.

It is love, desire, and the blazing fire in my heart that will never die.

I thought I would die in a volcanic eruption.

But I was wrong.

When I opened my eyes, I was lying on soft magma, and he stood there within my faith.

Story Four: The Mermaid Monster

I can't deny how beautiful the mermaid I found was. I was so bewitched that I took him home on impulse.

He was fragile and alluring, clinging to me like a parasitic vine.

An announcement blared: “Residents who have discovered an alien creature, please contact your regional Security Investigation Bureau immediately...”

I snapped it off and gazed, enthralled, at the magnificent sapphire-blue tail before me.

But I forgot that mermaids aren't fragile porcelain dolls.

So I also failed to notice the ruler of the sea behind me opening his mouth, revealing rows of fine, sharklike teeth.

Story Five: To Be Added

Reader's Guide:

1. The main story is told in third person.

2. A collection of stories set in the same world. Some stories feature multiple monsters, but every ending is one-on-one.

3. The male leads have human, semi-human, and monster forms, such as tentacles, animal ears, and fish scales. They may be disturbing enough to lower your sanity, but the male leads are all actually very cute QAQ

--- Upcoming Story: The Nightingale Is Ferocious [Male Alpha, Female Omega] ---

Vina first appeared before Hall at an auction.

The golden-haired girl in a white dress was curled up inside a cage.

She was fragile and docile, with a pair of dewy green eyes like a lost lamb's.

Hall narrowed his long, narrow eyes.

She was the most beautiful nightingale, meant to belong to someone in power.

No one expected that this delicate, obedient nightingale wasn't a songbird to admire,

but a predator.

At first, she only gave him tentative little nips. Once her prey had let down its guard completely, she tore into his flesh with vicious hunger.

She was a nightingale.

She would wear a crown of roses and become his uncrowned queen.

“Love?” Hall leisurely wiped his gold-rimmed glasses and sneered at the camera during the interview. “I could never fall in love with anyone.”

*

“Vina.” Hall gripped her wrist tightly. His usually placid voice carried a hint of entreaty. “You won't leave, will you?”

The rain soaked his immaculate suit jacket.

Vina pried his fingers off her one by one. Looking at his disheveled state, she blinked and said calmly, “Go back.”

“Hall, we're not the same kind of person.”

[She seems like a pet, but is actually a predator VS an arrogant man who's stubborn to the core]

Reader's Guide:

1. An unabashed Mary Sue story with a forced romance plot.

2. Extensive authorial worldbuilding, with a Western fantasy feel and nonhuman characters such as elves. Everything in the plot serves the romance.

3. An ABO story: male Alpha, female Omega.
