〔Congratulations, for mating with a Queen Bee you got a new achievement: ”Not a virgin”! Your reward: “Drone Consort” title.〕 ‘Hey! I wasn’t a virgin before this, system!’ Imagine that you lived a painfully average life, died by a stupid, stupid accident, but a goddess interfered and gave you a second chance in another world. There, you became a consort of a beautiful, big-chested queen, and your only job is to have mind-blowing sex with her so she could have thousands of your adorable daughters. In return, you can live in peace and luxury for the rest of your days. Which means, for about two months. Because I’m a bee. And my queen is also a bee. And bees don’t live for long. The only way to increase my lifespan is to develop my bee colony. A hard task in this huge world filled with dangerous and hungry beasts, other war-hungry insect tribes, and natural disasters. But I have a hundred thousand daughters, some actual brains, and with superior genes given to me by my system, we will be unstoppable! === Note: no NTR, harem, incest, or outright smut.

Humans hunt beast-folk. Beast-folk hunt humans. Three words mark the difference between dying and surviving: stalk, strike, survive. Bran knew the hunter's silver arrows from the prey's side. Felt them punch through pack-mate flesh. Watched his wolf-kin fall. Then came the Hunter in Black. The blood ritual. The burning. The transformation stripped his fur. His fangs. Left him raw in human skin. A beast-kin turned human. Now he hides among humans. Hunts for the guild. Climbs their ranks. Uses beast-knowledge to fill graves. Each kill brings fragments back - black robes, carved runes, Ariana's final scream. Power grows in his bones. Wild. Hungry. Like the Beast Kings of old. The choice claws at him: be the protector his kind desperately needs, or surrender to the blood-thrill singing in his new veins and live the life of a beast master. A human beast master. Either way, someone bleeds. --- Human vs beast fights? Yes. High personal stakes? Yes. Well developed side characters? Yes. A little smut? Yes, but only when it makes sense. Weak to strong? Yes. Our MC has to work hard to make the life he wants. Light Romance? Possibly. But no relationships are forced. Everything must feel earned and natural. [It's going to be a long, wild ride. I will take suggestions in comments so make sure you add to your collection.]
