Sirenas Mermaids

*****WPC OCT 2024 Entry***** When Carl Suis, a fresh zoology graduate, lands an internship with MECCP (Mythical and Endangered Creatures Care and Protection), he expects to work with exotic animals—not be magically whisked into Mythica, a realm brimming with dragons, mermaids, and other magical creatures. What starts as a dream job quickly spirals into chaos. Feeding creatures is the least of Carl’s worries as he tackles ecosystem meltdowns, interspecies feuds, and cultural clashes straight out of a fantasy fever dream. Forget the myths—these creatures are nothing like the books said. With Mythica’s fragile world teetering on collapse and MECCP’s future at stake, Carl must rely on his zoological skills, quick thinking, and unexpected allies to save the day. But in this unpredictable land, survival means embracing the wild—and the wildly hilarious—at every turn. Can Carl protect this magical world, or will his internship be his last adventure?

Content Warning: This story contains mature themes and explicit sexual content. Reader discretion is advised. Hiroshi Takeda, a tall and muscular 36-year-old man, was living an ordinary life in Japan until a strange twist of fate brought him to a fantasy world filled with diverse races and unusual customs. Known as "Henry" in this new realm, Hiroshi quickly realized that this world had very different norms—interracial relationships were unheard of, same-sex intimacy didn’t exist, and modesty was almost nonexistent. But for Hiroshi, that didn’t matter. He had one goal: to explore this strange and fascinating world in the most intimate way possible. Whether it was a cute catfolk, a beautiful elf, or a shy centaur, Hiroshi didn't discriminate. Male or female, as long as they were pretty ,cute,hot,sexy and without muscles, they caught his eye—and his passion. As Hiroshi starts his “sex adventure,” he breaks every cultural norm and taboo of this world, charming his way through villages, befriending (and sleeping with) beautiful beings from mermaids to fairy, and making a name for himself as the first human unbound by tradition. With a mix of humor, romance, and plenty of spicy moments, Hiroshi’s story is one of discovery, connection, and indulging in the pleasures this fantastical world has to offer.

There is a guaranteed Adult Chapter one out of every five. NOT FOR CHILDREN! NOT FOR SOFT HEARTS!] • FULL BLURB Israfel BlüdThïrste was born in Hel. He has lived in it all eighteen years of his life. As seventh in the bloodline of the Morningstar himself, Rafel has had a pretty fucking great life. There's spilled blood in excess. Violence to choke the gray skies. Abundant sex—depraved and hardcore. And more blood. Everything a Prince of the Abyss could desire. But Rafel has heard stories, of the world above. The world of the weak mortals whose damned souls fall endlessly through the red skies of his, to meet with perpetual torture. Stories of their fine carriages and legendary kings. Their golden sun and green earth. But mostly, their virgin women. He wishes to see it for himself. And so, when a lucky gambit with his dear Aunt, Lilith, opens up a way for him to explore the surface, Rafel hops to it. The deal is a hundred years before he has to return to his duties as Hell's Apollyon. Accompanied by his new slave, a voluptuous horned Succubus, Rafel journeys to the mortal realm, entering into the mythical lands of Eldoria as the enigmatic Earl of Emberfall, a haunted estate. But Rafel intends to rise, into the very courts of the Eldorian Queen. At least before his time runs out. And if corrupting, blackmailing, fucking, and murdering a few mortals gets in his way, so be it. This is until the haloed mess of Ravenna de Vries ends up on the grand steps of his Manor, soaking wet with a blood debt hanging over her head. Israfel had seen many beautiful women in his time, but somehow the little mortal girl is sufficient to make him rethink his gambit. Ravenna is owed to a powerful Hell Principality. And though Rafel convinces himself that building up his power ranking is solely selfish, it also has to do with going up against an ancient adversary from his home who is certain to appear just about anytime to collect what he is owed—Ravenna. She is not his responsibility, but why does Rafel feel exactly that whenever he looks at her? And suddenly for this Immortal, a hundred years is not enough to fall in love.

Dive in and follow Merilla’s journey as she rises to become the ocean’s ultimate protector and warrior.

[Action/Science Fantasy/Battle Academy] One hundred years ago, being diagnosed with the "affliction" was the kiss of death. Whether by mutation or firing squad, Linnaeans lived notoriously tragic lives. The few that lived suffered from irreversible mutations. These creatures, few as they were, inspired legends of werewolves, mermaids, and sirens. Then came the treatments for the Linnaean affliction. The discovery of temporary gene repression meant that the development of mutations could be slowed and managed. This created an "unholy" new race that shared the DNA of both humans and animals.
