Nightmare Creatures Speedrun

My New Life is a Nightmare

At just 15 years old, Kikomori stands at the entrance of his new high school, the weight of his past anchoring him in place. Beneath his quiet exterior lies a dark history that has haunted him since he was six, when a horrific tragedy shattered his innocence. His once joyful world, centered around his loving mother, crumbled the day his father, Hector, killed her in a fit of drunken rage. The aftermath left Kikomori trapped in silence, paralyzed by his father’s threats to burn his mother’s body if he ever spoke the truth. At school, Kikomori’s teachers notice his bruises and emotional withdrawal, but his fear of his father keeps him from confessing. One concerned teacher, sensing something is deeply wrong, tries to reach out, offering comfort and a promise of help. But the moment she calls his father to the school, Kikomori is forced to face the man who has controlled his life through violence and manipulation. Hector, appearing well-dressed and respectable, exudes a chilling charm that hides his true nature. He quickly manipulates the situation, making it seem like Kikomori's claims are mere figments of an overactive imagination. The teacher, however, senses the tension and fear in Kikomori's eyes. She confronts Hector, determined to protect the boy, but Kikomori, terrified by his father’s veiled threats, breaks down and runs to him, choosing the safety of silence over the danger of speaking out. The story unfolds as a psychological thriller, exploring Kikomori's internal struggle between fear and the desire for freedom, and the sinister hold Hector maintains over his son. It delves into the trauma of domestic abuse, the manipulation of appearances, and the battle between silence and truth. As Kikomori tries to navigate his new school and escape his father’s control, he must decide whether he has the strength to confront his past, or whether Hector's shadow will forever silence him.

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.
