After a Gloomy Socially Anxious Shut-In Was Spoiled by Nonhumans

[Updates are temporarily irregular, but the story will be completed in 2026. I recommend reading it once it’s finished!]

[Blurb for this story:][The plot described in the blurb has already been covered!]

An Xun suffers from severe social anxiety.

To avoid social interaction, he even applied for a job as a cemetery caretaker. But frequent difficulties in his life still made him run into obstacles at every turn.

After thinking it over again and again, An Xun decided to “cure” his social anxiety.

After all his efforts,

An Xun not only successfully overcame his social anxiety, but also gained several healthy social circles, such as harmonious relations with his neighbors, a warm and welcoming team at work, and a sweet life partner…

Until one day, the head of the Corruption Containment Center came to see him.

The other person looked horrified. “You mean to say you’ve formed… a deep bond with those things???”

-

An Xun pointed to his good neighbor.

The head of the Center said, “B-rank corrupted entity, [Eggfish]. Did you beat up that lump on its head?”

An Xun said, “I don’t know. It just ran into something by itself. My neighbor fixes my Wi-Fi and even makes fish stew for me. It’s such a nice person.”

An Xun pulled out his good coworker.

The head of the Center said, “A-rank corrupted entity, [Phantom Spore]. You share an office with this thing. Have you never been poisoned or hallucinated?”

An Xun said, “I don’t know. I do occasionally nap wherever I happen to be at work, but when I wake up, I find my coworker has not only tucked me in but also done the burying-a-body work for me!”

An Xun picked up his beloved partner.

An Xun said, “Surely there’s nothing wrong with this one, right? It’s just a blackberry starry-sky kitty pudding. It’s super well-behaved!”

Beep beep beep beep beep beep!!!!!

Amid the wildly flashing warning lights, the head of the Center’s corruption-level detector exploded on the spot.

The head of the Center: “….”

An Xun: “….”

#I thought I’d cured my social anxiety#

#Turns out there wasn’t a single person in my social circle. Haha#

-

An Xun never realized that, without his knowledge, the city had long since been overrun by monsters known as “corrupted entities.”

Even the AI robot that shared his bed every night, a little pudding with cat ears and a tail, was actually a corrupted entity!

And not just any corrupted entity, but a disaster-class, ultra-S-level one on the high-risk list!

The little pudding was always telling An Xun how delicious he was.

He thought it was a compliment. It turned out the thing really considered him food.

An Xun stared at the unidentified black sludge that had split into countless tentacles, wrapped around his entire body, and was ravenously sucking on his lips. He couldn’t help asking,

“…So are you kissing me, or eating me?”

The black sludge rubbed against him affectionately. “Of course I’m kissing you~”

Then it quietly let out a satisfied burp.

An Xun: “….”

And you still dare say you weren’t sneaking bites!!!

1. A slightly unhinged, silly, sweet little story, 1v1 happy ending.

2. The pudding kitty is the top. A clingy, lovestruck cutie of a top who’s very good at acting cute (? )

3. The protagonist not only suffers from social anxiety, but also makes society afraid of him (? )

Separation!, Line!

The Mature-Rated Novelist Becomes a Legend in a Strange World

-

1.

Shu Yunmo is an ordinary person. As a broke nobody, his hobbies are just as cheap: after work, he relaxes by writing some rather special novels.

One day, strange phenomena erupt all over the world. He gets sucked into a survival game and becomes the worst player in history.

Weak, useless in a fight, and only his face is worth looking at.

His teammates think he’s dead weight, the viewers bet he won’t survive the beginner level, and even Shu Yunmo himself thinks so. Then he realizes the plot of the instance world seems oddly familiar.

…Wait. Isn’t this a novel I wrote?

But there’s one problem: every damn thing I wrote is mature-rated!!!

2.

The System announces: “The ancient altar has been left empty for a long time. Only by presenting a sincere offering can you obtain the god’s forgiveness. If you exhaust its patience, everyone will be punished by heaven.”

To escape the instance, the players offer fruit and vegetables, livestock, jewels… but every offering is returned untouched.

Just as everyone is at their wits’ end, Shu Yunmo stands up and places a small box on the altar.

That’s… a condom!

As everyone watches in shock, the hidden door behind the altar slowly opens. Holy crap! We got it right! They cleared the instance!!

Hmm? You want to know why?

The only one who can explain, the author Shu Yunmo, sneers.

The ancient god has just forcefully claimed a human husband and is about to enjoy a night of bliss. This is the only thing he’s missing, and he’s practically dying of desperation!

…

The survival-game rankings are a global leaderboard of player scores, and everyone is desperate to meet the No. 1 player.

One day, someone gets to meet No. 1. They ask just one question: What exactly do you do to stay at the top of the rankings?

No. 1 is silent for a while.

Then answers, “…High-salt erotica.”

3.

Shu Yunmo has another secret.

Of the dozens of stories saved on his computer, a few are actually tributes to his ex-boyfriend, who died young.

And now his ex-boyfriend has crawled out of an instance, asking to get back together.

Shu Yunmo says, “I’m not getting back together with you.”

His ex-boyfriend curls his lip coldly, ties him to a chair, and grips his chin, forcing his head to turn toward… the laptop.

His ex-boyfriend deftly pulls up those unspeakable stories and threatens him. “If you don’t agree, I’ll read these things on your computer to you in a dramatic voice, right into your ear, for three days and three nights.”

Shu Yunmo: “…!?”

What a vicious dirty trick!!!
