One-Eyed Monster - Chapter 21: The Feeling of First Contact

Liu Jun traversed into a future world and was not able to afford an auxiliary Intelligent Brain. Just when he was mocked by his classmates, he accidentally acquired the gift of fungus evolution, transforming into the Fungus Lord, possessing a Mushroom Soup World.[Welcome to Fungus Planet][Life is but a soup of 70% water fungi cells, your task is to bring plague, disease, and despair to the filthy world, fighting against humanity.]

In the dawn of existence, the cosmos was a silent, empty canvas until the Mighty Celestial breathed life into the void, scattering seeds of creation across stars and planets. But from the shadows emerged the Anti-Life Entity—a ravenous parasite, the inverse of all design, consuming every living thing in its path.To protect the last bastion of life, Earth, the Constellar Entities, rulers of the grand design, were dispatched. These powerful beings, accustomed to cosmic command, found themselves with an “unacceptable” mission: guarding humanity. Among them, Triangulum, weary of this mundane task, plots his reincarnation. He has amassed forbidden knowledge, weaving a spell to shatter Earth's protective shield, inviting the very forces they were sent to repel.Yet, every move is anticipated by Orion, the Constellars' master strategist. Though they cannot wield their true power without a human conduit, Orion chooses Xerxez as his mortal vessel. Together, they confront Triangulum's dark magic, but the threat deepens when Xerxez's own son, Maximus, becomes the unwilling host for Draco, the Constellars' most formidable foe.Now, Xerxez faces an impossible choice: how can he defeat a cosmic evil when it wears the face of his own son?

[Warning: r18, smut, MC does morally questionable things][Disclaimer: The Gods and Goddesses in the story's world have absolutely no relation to any Gods that are worshipped in the real world. The purpose they serve is also entirely different.]~Even if you're someone who typically doesn't enjoy works with smut, I request you to give this novel a chance (provided you're 18 or older of course). It would be awesome if you could at least read Volume 1 before deciding whether or not this is your cup of tea.~This is an action + kingdom-building story where the MC and his kingdom (Realm) are metaphorically powered by his lustful acts.The story begins with Hiro's (the MC) transmigration into a magical world. At first glance, this “World” might look quite similar to many other fantasy worlds that you've come across on your reading adventures. Status screens, levels, classes, gods, kingdoms, elves - all that good stuff.But it will soon become clear that this World has its own “Rules”. These (mostly) game-like Rules will bring out unique character interactions. They will be what differentiates the World in my story from other similar fantasy worlds.Now about the characters - specifically the main character.The MC (Hiro) will be thrust into the role of Ruler in the new World right off the bat. He starts with a bottom-tier, barebones realm and makes his way to the top.I'm going to say this right away - Hiro is a deeply flawed character at the start. Yes he might be overpowered and good at getting things he wants, but that does not make him flawless.Hiro has glaring emotional flaws at the beginning. He is intelligent but not in the emotional sense. He is lustful but not truly loving. He is apathetic towards death (both of himself and of others).The women who surround him will also have their own problems, both internal and external.As the story progresses, it won't just be the MC and his realm growing in power.Hiro and his harem will also mature emotionally. Hiro's character growth will be a slow, grueling burn. It isn't going to be a smooth straight line from point A to point B.But when it finally does happen, it will be worth it.That's all from me, your author. I hope you enjoy the ride.P.S - Power stones, golden tickets, gifts, adding this to library, reviews, comments, paragraph comments - all these things help immensely and are greatly appreciated.Thanks and Enjoy! :)

[Harem Heaven High School (HHHS)]As the name suggests, it is a dating simulator that gained popularity due to the beautiful heroines with huge breasts and, more importantly, the importance of the player's choices, which influence the endings.Zayden Valtrex, the son of a billionaire philanthropist, was a feared delinquent at Eiko Academy. Standing at 1.95 m tall, with blond hair, full of piercings and earrings, he even scared the teachers.He was none other than the great villain of HHHS, who stole the heroines from the protagonist Subaru Kisaragi.But one day, that very same villain suddenly shows up at school with a completely new appearance. He had removed all his piercings and earrings, changed his hairstyle to be slicked back, and wore a charismatic smile, no longer looking at others with that usual cold stare.Since then, more and more heroines began approaching him of their own will.What no one knows is that Zayden carries a secret memory: he is not only the villain of the game but also someone who once lived in another world... and knows every detail of HHHS. Moreover, he possesses a mysterious system: by spending money on a girl whose affection level is above 50, the return can multiply from 1 to 100 times — and it is not limited to money alone.
