A Zoologist’s Guide to Surviving Magical Creatures

Author's note: Hi all, thanks for checking out my story .... Just to to clear the air. This story isn’t your typical chosen one saves the world by swinging a magical sword at the last boss type of deal. Nope. This is a heartfelt, occasionally chaotic exploration of magical ecosystems, quirky gods, and an unsuspecting zoologist thrust into a realm that barely understands the meaning of “stable biodiversity.” //What It Is\\ This story is a blend of -Adventure: We’re talking globe-trotting (or Mythica-trotting) to fantastical locales inspired by mythology and folklore from all corners of the world. -Comedy: Think less brooding hero vibes and more “Oh no, the dragon baby ate my shoe again.” -Fantasy: Mythical gods, magical creatures, elemental disasters—standard fare, but with a twist. -Mystery: There’s a deeper story here, unraveling memories, secrets, and betrayal that shaped Mythica. -Slice-of-Life: Yes, there will be moments of Carl trying to keep his sanity while arguing with a nine-tailed fox about proper table manners. //What It’s Not\\ -Grimdark: If you’re looking for morally grey antiheroes and constant existential dread, you’re in the wrong realm. This is more about finding humor and hope in the chaos. -Romance-Driven: Carl’s too busy keeping berserkers from wrecking Mythica to worry about swooning over anyone. -Hardcore Action Fantasy: Sure, there will be battles and drama, but this isn’t about slaying beasts for glory—it’s about saving them (and occasionally bribing them with snacks or whatever). //Who Will Like This\\ -Fans of mythology: If you geek out over legends from Norse, Chinese, Celtic, and other traditions, you’ll feel right at home. Nature enthusiasts: Conservation vibes? Check. Magical ecosystems? Double check. -Comedy lovers: Enjoy laughing at a poor intern’s magical misfortunes? Welcome! -Readers who enjoy quirky, wholesome adventures: It’s not about being perfect, it’s about learning, adapting, and growing. //Who Might Not Like This\\ -Readers craving high-octane action: There are fight scenes, but this isn’t “Battle Royale.” -Fans of brooding protagonists: Carl’s more likely to cry over spilled coffee than launch a monologue about his tragic backstory. -Romance-first readers: This story focuses on relationships, but not the swoony kind. ------------------------------ Carl Suis, a recent zoology graduate with a deep love for animals and a fascination with mythology, stumbles upon an ad for an internship at MECCP (Mythical and Endangered Creatures Care and Protection)—a mysterious organization tasked with protecting magical creatures. Desperate for a break, Carl accepts, only to find himself magically transported to Mythica, a fantastical world where dragons, mermaids, and krakens are real. What Carl thought would be a straightforward internship quickly becomes a whirlwind of chaos. His responsibilities go far beyond feeding and caring for these creatures—he’s thrust into solving ecosystem crisis, mediating interspecies conflicts, and navigating cultural clashes that no zoology degree could have prepared him for. And get this—none of the magical creatures are anything like what Carl expected based on the myths in the mythology books. Add in a series of increasingly bizarre situations, and Carl quickly realizes that this is far more than a job—it’s a test of survival. But it’s not all wild creatures and funny mishaps. With Mythica’s fragile ecosystems on the brink of collapse and MECCP under threat of being shut down, Carl must use his wits, empathy, and zoological knowledge to save not just the creatures he’s come to care for, but the future of this extraordinary world. Amidst the humor and calamities, Carl discovers that he may hold the key to preserving the very heart of Mythica… if he can survive long enough to prove it.

Sindbad: The Wandering Trader

... “ You're going to ignore the warning!” Nasser cried in utter horror. “ We will die all in here then!” “ I would rather we all die than survive by throwing a child into the sea, if that even worked!” The captain countered, voice booming over the storm. “ It will! Our ship will survive the Great One's wrath!” The sailors split into two groups, those who believed in Nasser’s words, and those who thought it absurd to just sacrifice a kid to the sea. Arguments began to break here and there. A pair of blue eyes squinted at them all with such intensity that they seemed to have swallowed their own tongues. The man then turned on the older one. “ You’re turning in circles, old Nasser!” The captain placed a hand firmly on his shoulder. “ You go back inside, I’ll make sure you stay alive. But I'm not as heartless as to sacrifice a kid for a storm. Take him back in, Sin-” The captain broke off as he turned around, eyes flicking in search of a certain pair of golden eyes among the ones staring at him. He found none. “ Sindbad? Where is he?” The sailors looked around the deck, but still no shadow of the boy. Sindbad had vanished from the upper deck… ----------------------------------------------- [A WPC entry!] [Side story of Zarqa] The sea is vast and the world on the other side is even bigger!

From birth, he is celebrated as the clan’s future leader—until his hereditary powers fail to manifest. Disgraced, shunned, and labeled a failure, Rytha becomes the clan’s greatest disappointment. Amid the clan's disdain, a shadowy faction with knowledge of Rytha’s true potential sets their plan in motion. They frame him for the brutal massacre of his parents and several high-ranking members of the clan, casting him as a bloodthirsty murderer. Branded a traitor and exiled from his homeland, Rytha is sentenced to the most dangerous part of the spirit realm—Ivay—a place so treacherous that no human has ever survived its monstrous inhabitants. In Ivay, where spirits and ancient beasts roam freely, Rytha teeters on the edge of death daily. However, in the midst of his struggle, he encounters Quiver Shirohaga, the clan’s forgotten grand uncle and the second most powerful member of the Shirohaga Clan. Exiled long before Rytha's birth, Quiver has survived in the land of Ivay by mastering both the Shirohaga's powers and the forbidden magics of the spirit realm. Quiver, initially distrustful and cold, soon realizes Rytha’s latent potential, recognizing that his late-blooming powers could surpass even the greatest Shirohaga legends. He takes Rytha under his wing, training him in the ancient techniques of the clan while revealing long-buried secrets about their true history and the forces behind Rytha's framing. As Rytha’s powers finally awaken, he is forced to walk a dangerous path, grappling with newfound strength that borders on chaos and madness. Quiver warns him that the very power Rytha seeks to control has a dark side—one that, if unleashed, could not only destroy the Shirohaga Clan but also tear the fabric of the spirit realm apart. With new enemies and ancient spirits hunting him, Rytha must decide whether to avenge his family's death or uncover the truth behind the conspiracy that nearly destroyed him. Along the way, he faces a choice that could either save the world or plunge it into uncontrollable chaos.

The Guardian's Oath

In the world of Eryndor, a magical realm filled with countless creatures, powerful beings, and ancient ruins, everyone is born with a System—a personal magical interface that determines their destiny. Most are granted systems that focus on personal power, like swordsmanship, elemental control, or healing. But some rare individuals are chosen by a unique system: Guardian. The protagonist, Kael, is one such individual, born with a Guardian System, an ancient and mysterious power. Unlike other systems, the Guardian System doesn’t grant Kael direct magical abilities; instead, it allows him to summon powerful spirits, known as Guardians, that he must protect and nurture. Each Guardian is a being of immense power, capable of defending entire cities or bringing about great destruction. Kael’s job as a Guardian is not only to command these spirits in battle but to ensure they are cared for, forming a bond that strengthens both him and his Guardians. However, there’s a catch: each Guardian is bound to Kael’s life force. If a Guardian dies, so does he. The more powerful the Guardian, the higher the risk to his own life. As Kael matures, he must juggle the pressures of being a protector, leading expeditions to battle monsters, and uncovering the truth behind the mysterious origins of the Guardian System. Along the way, he builds his team of diverse Guardians—each with their own personalities, abilities, and backstories—while unraveling a conspiracy that threatens not only his life but the entire structure of the System that governs his world.
