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.

Villain's way to live

Prologue I always hated my life. Bland, uninspired, a loop of mediocrity. My mornings started with the sound of a cheap alarm clock and ended with sleepless nights haunted by dreams of a better life—dreams that never came true. Life was cruel, unfair, and unrelenting. But even in my wildest nightmares, I never imagined that dying would be my gateway to something worse. When I opened my eyes again, I wasn’t in the comfort of my dingy apartment. No peeling wallpaper. No stack of ramen cups piled up on the table. Just a cold, cavernous room dripping with opulence, the kind only an aristocrat could afford. At first, I thought it was a lucid dream or some twisted afterlife. Then, I caught my reflection in a massive gilded mirror. Long, dark hair. Sharp features with an almost cruel beauty. Eyes that radiated arrogance and menace. I knew that face. Anyone who played "The Princess is in love with me" knew that face. Killian Nux, the Major Antagonist of the story, destined to be defeated by the plucky protagonist and his harem of magical misfits. He wasn’t just a villain—he was the villain. The one everyone loved to hate. And now... I was him. Great. Just great. If reincarnation was supposed to give me a second chance, someone really screwed up. I didn’t just end up in a fantasy world; I landed right in the middle of a sadistic dating sim known for its brutal difficulty and relentless drama. In the game, Killian Nux wasn’t just a spoiled noble. He was a monster. An overpowered, sadistic tyrant feared and hated by everyone. His fall was as inevitable as the sunrise. By the end of the story, his power, his pride, his very existence was crushed under the protagonist’s boot. If I didn’t want to meet the same fate, I needed to change everything. But fate had other plans. To survive in this world, I had to attend the Olympus Academy, the melting pot of heroes, heroines, villains, and victims. The place where the story began. The place where Killian's path to ruin was set in stone. And it gets better—or worse. Because walking into that academy means meeting him. The Protagonist. That righteous, golden-haired beacon of hope destined to unite everyone against me. Along with him come the Main Heroines—the princess, the knight, the healer, the mage—and even the Villainess, the one character I might have been able to rely on if Edward hadn’t been such a bastard to her in the original game. So what am I supposed to do? Watch the Protagonist steal the spotlight, woo every girl in sight, and forge his path to glory? No. I’m not playing by the game’s script. If I’m destined to be the villain, then so be it. But I won’t go down quietly. If Killian Nux is supposed to fall, he’ll do so as the strongest, most feared villain this world has ever seen. After all, if I’m going to live in this hellhole of a game, I might as well make it my story.

A Witch's Accidental Love

Synopsis: When has listening to her best friend ever been the wise decision? Luna Ravenwood knew better, or at least, she thought she did. While trying to win over the guy she had a crush on for years, Luna listens to her best friend and decides to use magic to win over Adam Fisk's heart. What could go wrong? Excerpt: "Really? Sweets? You're taking this 'food is the way to a man's heart' a little too seriously." Kwon sneered. He went to grab a cookie from the pile but Luna moved the plate away from him. He raised an eyebrow, probably thinking that she was acting childish. Reaching with his left hand, he made a move toward the plate. What she didn't see was that his right hand was in position with the plate moving right towards it. "Better luck next time." He smiled as he took a bite of the heart-shaped cookie. Adam came back and grabbed another cookie. As he ate, he looked around. "No water?" An idea hit Luna. She fished in her bag for the spare love potion that she had stored in a water bottle. It was completely full and the lid was tightened enough that it could pass as a brand new, unused bottle that she just got out of the machine. "Here you go. I just happened to have an extra." He gratefully accepted the water then he and Kwon walked off toward the coach. Luna slammed the plate into the arms of a confused Carl. It worked. The plan actually worked. She was so excited that she could start dancing at any moment. "Don't celebrate just yet." Isaac pointed to where Adam and Kwon stood talking to the coach. Kwon unscrewed the lid to his water and took a drink. Fear seeped into her. She was positive that Kwon did not have a water with him earlier. She looked down at Adam's hands and saw that he no longer had the bottle filled with love potion. "No!" *This is an fantasy-urban-romance novel.
