Umbilical Cord: Gurgle [Quick Transmigration]

Tan Xuanyu is a newcomer to quick transmigration.

Before he could officially begin quick transmigration, his journey was cut short halfway through. He became so much of a heartthrob that it triggered the uncanny-valley effect of being adored by everyone, basically like having cameras on him that he couldn't escape.

★ World One:

Character setup: An Enigma general disguised as an Omega, top x a good-natured Alpha, bottom

The Alpha suffers from a rare pheromone deficiency, with levels below the average for Alphas. He has to rely on Omega pheromones to be aroused.

A special Enigma who bounced back and forth between A and O as a child. As an adult, his pheromones are compressed to an extreme concentration: the result is an obsessive, pathological personality.

[The protagonist's heavenly fortune is declining, and his career, family, and love life are all going downhill. We need to mentor him and help him return to the top.]

Mission obstacle: The protagonist's older brother, an Enigma general, wants to die alongside him. A mutually binding EA romance ending in death?!!!

Note: Many personal headcanons, food-chain relationship, life-sharing partners

★★ World Two: Dark-arts archmage, top x background-character roommate, bottom

[We need to win over the protagonist until he feels overwhelming guilt toward us and is willing to give his life.]

Every word will be easy to understand, but when the ending actually comes:

The archmage's robe is in tatters, but that does nothing to diminish his pleasing face. His eyes are filled with amusement. “There is a kind of magic circle that is the most eternal magic of all.”

Purple light flares. That is when they become two heads sharing one body.

What the hell, you lunatic! Tan Xuanyu hurriedly tried to escape the magic circle. Unfortunately, tentacles extended from it and dragged him inside. Their bodies melted like candles into liquid wax, mingled together, and were finally glued into a whole new species.

For the next half-century, whenever he turned around, there was another head.

It wasn't guilt. It was too much love.

Note: Mild horror, a genuinely twisted madman

★★★ World Three: A sickly, frail, chronically ill attacker with a third eye x a healthy college student haunted by ghosts, three-year age gap, younger attacker

[For this quick transmigration mission, marry the protagonist directly and win his true love.]

Tan Xuanyu felt an itch on his back. He kept scratching at his skin with his fingernails until a rash appeared.

When he got home and looked at his back in the mirror, he saw a dense mass of bulging eyeballs. They kept oozing pus, so he had to wrap them tightly in bandages to stop the discharge from soaking his clothes.

“You're about to die.” A junior at his school had a crack appear in his forehead, revealing a third eye. All three eyes reflected Tan Xuanyu's face.

“Y-you want me to... m-marry him?” Tan Xuanyu stammered.

The eyes on his body jostled to squeeze closer to the pus-filled ones, growing even more excited.

So itchy...

Note: Eyeball marking ★planned long ago★ sweet on the outside, dark within★ trying my hardest to write horror★ grotesque

★★★★ World Four: A gentle, friendly, big-brother-type angel Guide x an unremarkable Sentinel candidate

[We need to win over the protagonist and help him grow toward the light.]

Tan Xuanyu was baffled by the quick transmigration mission.

How could someone so gentle and sunny, a healing angel of a big brother who helped others, need to guide someone else toward the light?

“What's wrong? Have your negative emotions piled up again? Do you need me to help you work through them?” he asked gently and kindly.

If he just grew a pair of snowy-white wings, he could fly straight to heaven.

Later, he did grow a pair of pure-black wings. They knocked Tan Xuanyu to the ground, leaving only his flailing arms exposed. It was a crisis unlike anything he'd ever faced.

“Let your spirit companion out. It must be hurt, right? I need to take a close look.”

A terrifying smile.

Note: Yandere★spirit companion, Lovecraftian, god, twisted★sanity loss★
