Author's pen name: XX chromosomes.
What do men really want? What do women like to read?
These questions will be answered by this series. I am a male author, seeking to answer women's questions through numerous short stories. Find out the answer yourself, as I only give clues at first.
As a man (and an anime fan), I also know what men want and I am here to provide short stories for men's fantasies as well.
Power? Love? Mystery? Let's get on with it...
*****
Chris was once a normal acting human who, as explained in previous books gained so much power he can actually destroy universes in an instant.
But, he was thrust into an "otherworldly" plane where nigh omnipotent females run the show. These females still had their own fantasies like normal women do, and they shaped reality according to what they want.
Now, our anti-hero Chris found himself as a puppet (and a lucky one at that) in the worlds of these nigh omnipotent females...Will he ever break free of their drama and antics?
Fortunately, Goddess Athena, who is a mother figure to Chris, arrives to help. (He later realized that Female chromosomes (XX) are superior/larger than men's (Xy), and that the "Grand Designer" was female, after all, making him question the Supreme Being. But, more on that later)...
The females are the main characters in their Omniverses, with Chris being the secondary character shaped according to their whim.
While some females had celebrity names, it is quite plausible as celebrities can be alive, legally young, and nigh omnipotent in another universe, if we are to assume the "many worlds" interpretation....Or, the Goddess-like beings copied their appearance and perhaps even more curvy or busty than before. This goes for anime characters as well. All Goddess-like beings are assumed to be at least 18 years old.

Set 1: Lilah Pate
1.Thriller. (672 rating)
Lilah Pate sat behind the wheel of her car, staring at the winding road ahead. The sun was setting, casting an eerie orange glow over the landscape. She glanced at the map on her phone, trying to get a sense of where she was, but the signal was weak and the map kept glitching out.
Chris sat in the passenger seat, nervously tapping his fingers on his knee. "Are you sure we're going the right way?" he asked, his voice tinged with anxiety.
Lilah bit her lip, feeling a sense of unease creeping over her. She had thought she knew these roads like the back of her hand, but now everything seemed unfamiliar. The trees loomed overhead, casting long shadows that seemed to shift and move in the fading light.
"Just give me a minute," Lilah said, her voice tight with tension. She turned a corner, the road suddenly narrowing and twisting into a dark tunnel of trees. Chris let out a small gasp, his hand reaching out to grip the door handle.
Lilah pressed down on the gas, trying to shake off the feeling of claustrophobia that was closing in on her. She glanced at Chris, his face pale in the dim light, and realized that they were truly lost. The road seemed to stretch on endlessly, with no signs of civilization in sight.
As they drove on, the trees seemed to close in around them, their branches reaching out like grasping fingers. Lilah's heart pounded in her chest, the sense of dread growing stronger with each passing mile. Chris let out a shaky breath, his eyes darting from side to side as if expecting something to jump out at them from the shadows.
Suddenly, Lilah saw a figure standing by the side of the road, a dark silhouette outlined against the fading light. She slammed on the brakes, the car screeching to a halt as she stared at the figure in disbelief.
"What the hell is that?" Chris whispered, his voice barely audible.
Lilah felt a chill run down her spine as the figure stepped forward, revealing a face shrouded in darkness. She could make out the gleam of eyes, cold and unblinking in the fading light.
"Drive, Lilah, drive!" Chris shouted, his voice filled with panic.
Lilah slammed her foot on the gas, the car lurching forward as she sped down the road. The figure seemed to vanish in the rearview mirror, but Lilah couldn't shake the feeling of being watched, of being followed.
As they drove on, the night closing in around them, Lilah felt a sense of unreality creeping over her. The road seemed to twist and turn in impossible ways, leading them deeper into a maze of shadows and darkness. Chris clung to the armrest, his breathing ragged and uneven.
"We have to get out of here," he muttered, his voice filled with desperation.
But no matter how fast Lilah drove, they couldn't seem to escape the oppressive atmosphere that surrounded them. The trees closed in around them, their branches scraping against the car like bony fingers. Lilah could feel the weight of eyes on her, watching her every move.
And then, just when she thought they were truly doomed, the road opened up before them, revealing a clearing bathed in moonlight. Lilah let out a breath she hadn't realized she was holding, relief flooding through her in a wave.
"We made it," Chris breathed, his voice filled with awe.
But as they drove out of the clearing and back onto the main road, Lilah couldn't shake the feeling that they had escaped something far more sinister than just a wrong turn. The memory of the figure standing by the side of the road lingered in her mind, a shadow that refused to be dispelled.
And as they drove on into the night, the sense of unease never truly left them, a reminder of the darkness that lurked just beyond the edge of their vision. Lilah knew that they had stumbled into something far more dangerous than a simple wrong turn, a mystery that would haunt them for the rest of their days.

1.Romance: Wrong turn. (682 rating)
Lilah Pate had always been a wanderer at heart, captivated by the allure of the open road and the promise of adventure beyond the horizon. Her love for driving had been ingrained in her from a young age, as she spent countless hours cruising along country roads and highways, the wind in her hair and the world at her fingertips.
On a warm summer afternoon, Lilah found herself behind the wheel of her beloved vintage convertible, the sun casting a golden glow over the rolling hills of the countryside. She had no destination in mind, content to let the road lead her wherever it may. As the miles stretched out before her, Lilah felt a sense of freedom and exhilaration wash over her, the world outside her car window a blur of colors and shapes.
It was then that she saw him, a lone figure standing on the side of the road with a thumb outstretched. Intrigued by his rugged good looks and air of mystery, Lilah slowed down and pulled over to offer him a ride. His name was Chris, a wanderer like herself, with an easy smile and eyes that sparkled like sapphires in the sunlight.
As they drove on, exchanging stories and laughter, Lilah felt a connection with Chris unlike anything she had ever experienced before. He shared her love for adventure and the thrill of the unknown, and together they navigated the winding roads with a sense of camaraderie and shared purpose.
But as the sun began to set and the shadows lengthened, Lilah realized that they had taken a wrong turn somewhere along the way. The road ahead grew dark and unfamiliar, the only light coming from the headlights of her car as they plunged deeper into the depths of the forest.
Despite the uncertainty and fear that crept into her heart, Lilah found solace in Chris's presence beside her, a beacon of strength and reassurance in the darkness. Together, they forged ahead, their bond growing stronger with each passing mile.
As they rounded a bend in the road, a breathtaking sight unfolded before them - a hidden valley bathed in moonlight, a shimmering lake nestled among the trees. Lilah and Chris stepped out of the car and stood in awe of the beauty before them, the night alive with the symphony of crickets and rustling leaves.
In that moment, Lilah knew that she had found more than just a traveling companion in Chris – she had found a kindred spirit, a soulmate whose presence filled her with a sense of peace and belonging she had never known.
As they watched the stars twinkle overhead, Lilah felt a surge of courage and determination well up within her. She knew that no matter where the road may lead them, she and Chris would always find their way back to each other, guided by the eternal light of love that burned brightly in their hearts.
And so, hand in hand, they set out into the night, their hearts full of hope and their spirits ablaze with the promise of a future filled with adventure, love, and endless possibility. Together, they were unstoppable, their love a force of nature that could conquer any challenge and illuminate even the darkest of roads.
As the first light of dawn broke over the horizon, Lilah and Chris stood at the edge of the lake, the world spread out before them in all its glory. In that moment, they knew that they were exactly where they were meant to be – lost in each other's arms, but found in the boundless expanse of their love. And as they gazed into each other's eyes, the world around them faded away, leaving only the two of them, united in a love that would never falter or fade.
And so, they drove off into the sunrise, their hearts full of adventure and their souls intertwined in a love story for the ages. Lilah Pate and Chris were bound by a love that defied distance and time, a love that would light their way through even the darkest of nights, guiding them home to each other, always and forever.

1.Scifi: Sunrise. (582 eating)
It was a warm summer morning when Lilah Pate and her companion, Chris, decided to take a drive to explore a new part of the countryside. Lilah was a passionate lover of all things mysterious and unknown, while Chris was more of a practical soul, always grounded in reality. The two of them made a curious pair, but they complemented each other perfectly, each bringing their own unique perspective to the relationship.
As they drove along the winding country roads, the sun began to rise, casting a golden light over the landscape. Lilah couldn't help but feel a sense of wonder and excitement at the new day unfolding before them. Chris, on the other hand, was focused on the road ahead, making sure they didn't take a wrong turn and end up lost.
But fate had other plans for them that day. As they turned a corner, Lilah caught sight of a strange, shimmering portal that seemed to appear out of nowhere. Intrigued, she urged Chris to drive towards it, despite his protests. Before he could argue further, they were both sucked into the portal and transported to a different dimension.
As they emerged on the other side, Lilah and Chris found themselves in a world unlike anything they had ever seen before. The sky was a vivid shade of purple, with swirling clouds that seemed to dance in time with the wind. The landscape was dotted with strange, alien flora and fauna, each more fantastic than the last.
Lilah's eyes sparkled with excitement as she took in the breathtaking sights before her. Chris, however, was more reserved, wary of the unknown dangers that might lurk in this strange world. Despite his reservations, he couldn't help but be captivated by the beauty and wonder of their surroundings.
As they continued their journey through this alien landscape, Lilah and Chris encountered all sorts of strange creatures and phenomena. They saw shimmering orbs of light that danced in the sky, leaving trails of sparkling stardust in their wake. They heard the haunting melodies of unseen beings that seemed to echo through the air, filling their hearts with a sense of longing and wonder.
Despite the wondrous sights and sounds that surrounded them, Lilah couldn't shake the feeling that they were lost in this strange world. The sense of disorientation only grew stronger as they journeyed deeper into the unknown, with no clear path to guide them back home.
As the sun began to set on this alien world, casting a warm glow over the horizon, Lilah and Chris found themselves at a crossroads. They had to make a choice: continue on their journey, embracing the unknown and risking the dangers that lurked in the shadows, or turn back and try to find their way home.
After much deliberation, Lilah and Chris decided to take a leap of faith and continue their journey into the unknown. As they traveled further into the alien landscape, they discovered hidden wonders and mysteries that filled their hearts with joy and excitement. With each new discovery, their bond grew stronger, forging a connection that transcended time and space.
In the end, Lilah and Chris realized that getting lost wasn't always a bad thing. Sometimes, it was the key to discovering a whole new world of possibilities and adventures. And as they watched the sunrise on this strange and beautiful planet, they knew that their journey was far from over. Together, they would explore the endless depths of the cosmos, united in their shared sense of wonder and curiosity.

1.Anime: Rias Gremory. Key. (606 rating)
Rias Gremory, the powerful and alluring demon princess, had always been defined by her strength and independence. But when she met Chris, a human with a heart of gold and a mischievous twinkle in his eye, she found herself falling in love in a way she never thought possible.
Their love was forbidden, as demons and humans were not meant to be together. But the heart wants what it wants, and Rias couldn't deny the deep connection she felt with Chris. Their secret meetings under the cover of darkness became the highlight of her days, and she found herself yearning for his touch and his presence more and more with each passing moment.
One fateful night, as Rias was driving to meet Chris at their usual spot, she took a wrong turn down a deserted road that seemed to stretch on endlessly into the darkness. Panic began to creep into her heart as she realized she was lost, far from the safety of her demon realm and the comfort of her home.
As the first light of dawn began to break over the horizon, Rias spotted a mysterious figure standing on the side of the road. It was Goddess Athena, the wise and powerful deity known for her ability to guide lost souls back to safety.
Rias hesitated for a moment, unsure if she could trust the goddess to help her. But as desperation set in, she knew she had no other choice. She rolled down her window and called out for Athena's assistance.
The goddess approached the car with a serene smile on her face, her eyes sparkling with ancient wisdom. She told Rias that she had been drawn to her by a sense of destiny, and that she was here to help guide her back on the right path.
With a feeling of relief washing over her, Rias followed Athena's instructions as she led her through a series of twists and turns, navigating the treacherous roads with ease. As they journeyed together, Rias was struck by the goddess's aura of calm and serenity, and she found herself opening up to her in a way she had never done with anyone before.
As the sun rose higher in the sky, bathing the world in a golden hue, Rias realized that this unexpected detour had brought her closer to both Athena and Chris in a way she had never imagined. She saw the world with new eyes, as if a veil had been lifted from her perception, and she felt a sense of purpose and clarity that she had never experienced before.
By the time they reached the end of the road, Rias knew that she had been forever changed by this encounter with the goddess and her own innermost desires. With a heart full of love and gratitude, she thanked Athena for her guidance and stepped out of the car to continue her journey, knowing that she was on the right path, both in her love for Chris and in her own sense of self.
And as she drove off into the sunrise, Rias Gremory felt a newfound sense of empowerment and purpose, ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead with courage and determination. The love she shared with Chris was stronger than ever, and she knew that with the goddess's help, they would overcome any obstacle in their path.
As the miles stretched out before her, Rias felt a sense of peace settle over her, knowing that she was exactly where she was meant to be. And with the key to her heart held firmly in her hand, she drove forth into the unknown, ready to embrace whatever adventures lay ahead with open arms.

Set 2: Zoe Cali
2. Thriller. Miles. (631 rating).
As the sun set over the bustling city, Zoe Cali and her friend Chris found themselves locked inside the Museum of Modern Art. They had been exploring the various exhibits and installations all evening, immersing themselves in the world of art. But as they made their way to the exit, the heavy metal door slammed shut behind them, trapping them inside.
Panic set in as Zoe and Chris realized they were the only ones left in the museum. The once vibrant and lively space now seemed eerie and unsettling in the dim light. The statues frozen in time appeared to come alive in the shadows, their eyes staring back at them with an unsettling intensity.
Zoe tried the door, but it was securely locked from the outside. Chris frantically searched for a way out, but the windows were barred and impossible to break. They were trapped, alone in the museum with no way to escape.
As they wandered through the darkened halls, a sense of dread washed over them. The art that had once fascinated and intrigued them now felt like a trap, as if the very essence of the museum itself was holding them captive. Zoe's heart raced as she felt a presence watching them from the shadows, unseen but palpable.
Chris suggested they find a place to hide until morning, when the museum would open again. They stumbled upon a room filled with abstract paintings, their colors swirling and dancing in the darkness. Zoe and Chris huddled together in the corner, trying to calm their nerves as they waited for the first signs of daylight.
But as the night dragged on, strange things began to happen. The paintings seemed to come to life, their figures moving and shifting before their eyes. The once static images now moved with a sense of purpose, as if they were trying to communicate something to Zoe and Chris.
Zoe couldn't shake the feeling that they were being watched, not just by the paintings but by something far more sinister. She whispered to Chris, her voice trembling with fear, "We're not alone in here. There's something else in the museum with us."
Chris scoffed, dismissing Zoe's fears as mere paranoia. But as the night wore on, his skepticism began to wane. Shadows darted across the walls, whispering voices echoed through the empty halls, and a chill settled in the air that had nothing to do with the museum's air conditioning.
As they huddled together in terror, a figure emerged from the darkness. It was a spectral being, its form shifting and wavering like a mirage. Zoe and Chris watched in horror as it moved toward them, its eyes glowing with an otherworldly light.
The figure spoke in a voice that seemed to come from everywhere and nowhere at once. "You are not welcome here," it said, its words sending shivers down Zoe's spine. "This museum is not for the living – it is a place of darkness and despair."
Zoe and Chris were paralyzed with fear, unable to move or speak as the figure drew closer. It reached out a spectral hand to touch them, its touch cold and clammy. But before it could make contact, a blinding light filled the room, banishing the darkness and the figure from their sight.
When Zoe and Chris opened their eyes, they found themselves outside the museum, the first light of dawn illuminating the city skyline. They looked at each other in disbelief, wondering if they had just experienced a shared hallucination or a true encounter with the supernatural.
As they walked away from the museum, Zoe couldn't shake the feeling that they had witnessed something beyond comprehension, something that defied logic and reason. And as they parted ways, she knew one thing for certain – they would never forget their night trapped inside the Museum of Modern Art.

But as the initial fear subsided, they began to see the situation as an adventure, a chance to explore the museum in a way that few ever had before.
They wandered through the galleries hand in hand, marveling at the art that surrounded them and sharing their own thoughts and feelings about each piece.

As the first rays of dawn began to filter through the windows of the museum, Zoe and Chris found themselves in front of a painting that seemed to capture the essence of their love - a vision of two people intertwined in a dance of colors and emotions, their hearts beating as one.
With tears of joy in her eyes, Zoe turned to Chris and whispered, "I never knew that a moment like this could exist, a love so pure and true that it transcends time and space."
And as they stood together in the quiet beauty of the museum, Zoe knew that she had found her soulmate in Chris, a love that would endure forever in the timeless art of their hearts.

Zoe, a young and ambitious archaeologist, was utterly fascinated by the ancient artifacts on display. Chris, on the other hand, was a skeptic, unimpressed by the relics of a long-gone civilization.
As they strolled through the museum, discussing the significance of each piece, the lights suddenly flickered and went out. Zoe's heart raced as she looked around, trying to make out shapes in the darkness. Chris chuckled, dismissing her fears as he reached for his phone to use as a flashlight.
But when he turned it on, they both gasped in shock. The museum had transformed before their eyes. The artifacts shimmered with an otherworldly light, and the walls seemed to pulse with energy.

As they stood victorious, bathed in the glow of their success, Zoe and Chris knew that their adventure was coming to an end. They were transported back to the museum, where the artifacts no longer shimmered and the walls no longer pulsed with energy.
But the bond they had forged in that otherworldly realm remained strong. Zoe and Chris smiled at each other, knowing that they were meant to be together, no matter where their adventures might take them next.
And as the first rays of dawn broke through the windows of the museum, a single figure emerged from the shadows. It was the character who had been trapped inside the museum overnight, watching the incredible journey of Zoe and Chris unfold before their eyes.
They couldn't quite believe what they had witnessed, but as they watched the two soulmates embrace, they knew that "magic" and love truly existed in this world, if only you were willing to believe. And with a sense of wonder and awe, the character slipped away into the dawn, forever changed by the incredible story they had witnessed.
