Steam curled from the cup of instant ramen as Leo slumped into his creaky gaming chair. The dull glow of his monitor flickered, illuminating the messy apartment littered with energy drink cans and snack wrappers.

"Another damn day wasted," he muttered, shoving noodles into his mouth. Work had been a nightmare, a boss who breathed down his neck, coworkers who dumped their tasks on him, and an endless pile of reports.

But tonight, none of them mattered. Tonight, he had his escape.

He clocked open the first chapter of Dominated by the Beast Queens, a niche fantasy novel about a handsome human guy dominated into a world of sexy beast-women who fought over him. Yeah, it was pure wish-fulfillment trash, but hell, he loved it.

"Imagine this happened," Leo mused, chucking to himself. He swirled the noodles around his chopsticks. "Waking up in a world where women are the ones chasing me? Yeah, right. In real life, I can barely get a match on dating apps."

He leaned back, eyes scanning the scene in the novel:

The wolf queen towered over him, her silver fur glistening in the moonlight. Her sharp blue eyes locked onto his, hunger and possession burning within them. 'You are mine, human. Submit.....or I will make you submit."

Leo felt his throat go dry. So domineering. Damn, the way the author wrote those scenes.....

He absentmindedly adjusted his pants. Maybe he should take a break.

Bzzzt!

His screen flickered. The words on the page glowed, distorting into strange symbols. His apartment lights flickered, his monitor sparking.

"What the fuck is happening?"

Then....

A sudden force yanked him forward, a suffocating black void swallowing his vision.

***********

Leo groaned as something rough and warm pressed against his bare skin.

Wait.

Bare?

His eyes snapped open. Blinding sunlight filtered through the dense, towering trees. The scent of earth and wildflowers filled his lungs. He lay on a bed of soft glass, a gentle breeze teasing his skin.

His completely naked skin.

"What the actual f—?!" Leo scrambled up, hands immediately covering himself. Where the hell were his clothes?! More importantly, where the hell was he?!

His last memory was his apartment, his ramen, and his smutty beast-girl novel.

Oh. Oh shit.

A chill ran down his spine as realization hit.

He had transmigrated.

Leo exhaled sharply, trying to stay calm. "Alright. Think. This could be a dream or your imagination. Or maybe I passed out at my desk? Maybe—

Ding!

A sudden blue screen appeared before him. Words materialized in glowing, gold text:

[Welcome to the Beast World]

Congratulations! You have been selected as the sole Male Human in this world.

Survival Difficulty: EXTREME

System Activated: Mystic Guide

Current Status: NAKED AND HELPLESS

Mission: Find shelter before nightfall. Failure= Death.

Leo blinked. Then blinked again.

"What.. the actual.. fuck?"

A system? A fantasy world? A Survival Quest? This was every isekai wet dream—

SNAP.

A low growl rumbled behind him.

Leo froze. Slowly —very slowly—he turned.

Standing ten feet away was a massive towering wolf-woman. Six feet tall, muscular yet lean, her silver fur shimmers in the sunlight. She looked like a goddess. Too beautiful. Her piercing blue eyes locked onto him, like a predator watching its prey.

And sweet merciful gods—she was completely naked.

Her curves were insane —thick thighs, powerful arms, toned abs, and breasts that defined logic. Her tail swayed behind her, her sharp claws flexing.

Leo swallowed hard. This was Zyra. The Wolf Queen. She looks exactly the way the novel described her.

His first wife in the novel.

And judging by the way she was licking her lips—she was looking at him like a meal.

"Oh, fuck."

Before he could react, Zyra pounced.

Leo barely had time to dodge before he hit the ground. Her powerful arms pinned him down, her furred thighs straddling his waist.

A deep growl rumbled from her chest, her hot breath fanning against his face.

A male....? Her voice was a husky purr, dripping with possession.

Leo's brain short-circuited. Every fiber of his being screamed fight or flight, but his traitorous body was very much aware of the soft, supple warmth pressing against him.

Zyra's claws traced down his chest, her touch dangerously slow. "You smell different. Exotic." Her sharp teeth nipped at his jaw, making his pulse skyrocket.

Okay. Okay. He needed to think.

According to the novel, beast women were extremely aggressive when they found a worthy mate. And males? So rare they were worshiped.

Zyra's instincts were kicking in. And since Leo was the only male human in this world—

He was a prime breeding stock.

Ding.

[ Me mission: Survive the Wolf Queen's Heat]

Objective: Satisfy Zyra before she loses control.

Failure Permanent Claiming (No Escape).

Bonus: Earn Zyra's Loyalty.

Leo stared at the screen. His brain tried to reboot.

"....What kind of fucked-up quest is this?!"

But Zyra wasn't waiting.

Her clawed fingers dragged down his stomach, her hips rolling slowly against his. A needy growl escaped her throat.

"Submit, male," she murmured, grinding against him, her tail curling around his leg. "Or I will make you mine by force."

Leo gritted his teeth. She was too h*rny. This was bad.

He could fight—which meant losing and being claimed permanently.

Or he could... flip the script.

A slow, dangerous grim curled his lips.

"You want me?" he murmured, his hands sliding to her hips.

Zyra's ears twitched. She wasn't expecting that.

Leo rolled his hips ho, pressing against her heat. A sharp gasp left her lips, her claws digging into her shoulders.

"You are acting all dominant...." he whispered against her ear, teasing the sensitive spot he remembered from the novel. "But I think you want to be tamed."

Zyra shuddered. Her breath hitched.

For the first time—uncertainty flashed in her piercing blue eyes.

Leo smirked. Game on.
