⊰❂⊱
Jack had gone out hunting this morning, leaving you alone in your bedroom to your thoughts...
I watched the outside world from my window, trying to distract myself as the snowflakes lightly fluttered to the now snow covered ground. I let a sigh escape my mouth as I shifted a little closer to the window from my bed. I was currently sitting on my calfs as I leaned against the window ceil, staring at anything that caught my eyes as the sky's darkly light sky with the moon's light shinning through my window and onto my restless face. I kept my thoughts off of what happened between Jack and I in the woods, we had just walked back to the cabin without a single word to each other. I thought that if I didn't bring it up to him or in my thoughts, I wouldn't have to be embarrassed around him anymore then I already am and just get to know him. I stopped thinking for a second as a thought found its way into my head,
I don't know anything about him...
Jack and I were practically strangers to each other but we still managed to feel something towards each other, well I did anyways. I felt awkward at the thought that, HE KISSED MY NECK! I never felt so ashamed of myself when I realized how I let my guard down around him when I hardly knew him. My cheeks began to become bright red with embarrassment and from frustration,
He was a killer for PETS SAKE!
Maybe if I got to know him more, I could feel more comfortable about hanging around him? It never crossed my mind that he could or was a heartless killer when I first met him, he saved me so many times that I didn't feel like I had to worry about him wanting to kill me. My heart sank when I thought about it, if he actually had killed me in the forest... I would be dead...
The thought sent shivers down my spine when it hit me, I began to wonder why I had asked him to kill me when we met. He didn't seem like he wanted to do what I asked him so that was a relief, I guess part of me just wanted to give in and finally open the door with the "EXIT" sign above it. The other part of me was afraid of death and what awaited me behind the door, that part of me had won I guess when I practically looked like I was afraid when I asked Jack to kill me. Those words held me back for so many years, I guess that's the best answer I could come up with at the moment.

Satisfied with my answer to Jack's question, I turned from the now frosted covered window and sat at the edge of my bed. Maybe when I get freshened up, I could go talk to Jack and maybe... if he didn't mind.... I could possibly get to know him better. A smile washed over my face as I stood from the bed and went to the closet that held my clothes that I had taken from my....
I stopped in the middle of grabbing the handle to the closet.
Mom...
The thought of her made my heart break, finding out she wanted me dead when blades and Bloody Painter revealed what their purpose for their mission was. How could she do that to me? I had done nothing to her for her to hate me, yet she despised me enough to send assassins after me. My mind went in denial for a split second because, she was my mom... she was the only family I had left. I shook the my head, trying to get rid of the feeling and concentrate on grabbing a (f/c) long-sleeved turtle neck shirt, blue jeans, and undergarments. Once I looked over my outfit I smiled once again and grabbed everything in my hands, I trotted over to my bedroom door and headed off to the bathroom.
Actually locking the door this time just in case Jack comes home early and decides to wash off and sees me butt-ass naked in the shower, my cheeks glowed bright red again as memories of last time flashed in my head. The way he gently massaged my head with the shampoo and conditioner, the way I was naked in the tub as I let this man clean me off and proceed to KISS his mask.
"AHHHH!" I screamed at myself and facepalmed my head as I tried getting rid of the memory that forever haunted my mind, I couldn't help a small smile that somehow found its way to my lips.
✩ ✩ ✩ ✩ ✩
I licked the fresh blood from off my fingers as I walked my way back to the cabin, the fresh irony taste made a shiver go down my spine as I let out a satisfied sigh as I patted my stomach.
"That was a good meal, glade I wasn't off my game because of not going out hunting for a while.." I thought about the last time I actually ate kidney or even went out hunting, it was probably 2 days before the encounter with Zalgo. I basically only lived on nothing but the thought of the delicious organ in my mouth as I slowly swallowed it, a smirk grew on my face as I thought about my victims face when I cut open their body and ate their organs from least to the most delicious one (obviously kidneys).

Suddenly my flashbacks of my victim's scared face was interrupted with a flashback of (y/n) when we were in the forest earlier, I stopped in my tracks and watched in my head as the moment repeated over and over. The look on her face made my body shiver when I had done what I did, I really didn't mean to go so far with her, I knew she didn't expect it either as her body was tense when I held her face in my hands. I pulled out my hands from my front pocket and looked at them, they were dark grey as always with slightly longer nails then (y/n)'s but they were definitely sharper.
What if I scared her?
Did she like it? (Oh my god, Jack you sly-dog 😏)
Did she really want to know me?
It was true though, I did want to get to know her better then I already did. She said she'd tell me why she asked me to kill her when she trusted me more, the uneasy feeling in my stomach about what the answer would be didn't help my situation at all.
Shoving my hands back into my pocket I continued to walk until the cabin had come into my view, A small smile briefly made it to my lips until I got a glimpse of something written on the porch to the front door. I stopped in my tracks as my eye sockets widened with fear as I read the bold letters that were carved into the wooden deck,
I didn't give it a second thought before I rushed to the front door and slammed it open, I frantically looked in the kitchen, living room, bathroom, and last place to search was in (y/n)'s bedroom. I reached for the handle and quickly turned it, slamming the door open; I come face to face with (y/n). I let out a breath that I had been holding in, I relaxed my tense shoulders as I looked at her confused and questioning face as to why I had bursted through her door.
"Sorry, I thought you were gone again" I rubbed the back of my neck as I tried to explain myself.
" it's fine, you just startled me." She glanced at me before looking away to the ground, I could make out a slight pink come to her cheeks as she stood there. She perked up for a second and turned to me, giving me a excited look to which I looked back with a confused one even though she couldn't see my face.
"Do you want to... I don't know, maybe hangout?" She asked in almost a calm way but I could see she was nervous by how she struggled to keep eye contact with me, though I didn't have any to begin with.
"Yeah, sounds like a plan." I watched as she smiled at me then proceeded to walk past me into the hallway and down to the living room, I followed behind closely.
She sat down on one end as I sat down on the other side, she seemed to calm down when we talked. I quite enjoyed the company since I hadn't had any since I left slenderman's mansion to live on my own, I thought it would be an interesting change in pace... boy did it have an interesting turn to it. As we talked, I couldn't help but think about the words carved into the wood. I had a pretty good suspicion it was Jeff, A) Jeff is the only one that knows about her and B) since the last encounter with Jeff didn't go so well, I was pretty sure he has at least something to do with the written threat on the porch.
I thought about the threat as I watched (y/n) slowly breath softly on the other side of the couch from me, she looked so peaceful when she slept. I felt rage fill my mind as I thought of Jeff getting his way and hurting her, I couldn't let that happen. I know in most of the books I've read that when someone promise something to the other that they won't get hurt because they wouldn't let them, Yeaaah...it always seemed to back fire on them and the other person seemed to get hurt most the time. I couldn't promise that she wouldn't get hurt because I just had a gut feeling that she would, but when the time comes when she needs me; I'll try my best to help in anyway I can. My head began to droop down to the arm-rest of the couch as I sat there, watching (y/n) sleep. I felt my eyelids begin to slowly flutter shut as I tried to stay awake for fear that Jeff would come in the night when they were asleep and not on guard, even as the worry grew, my eyes lids slowly but surely closed. Before I fell into a deep sleep, the last thing that I had to say slipped out of my mouth before I fell asleep,
"I'll protect you"

Kill the Harem
I was never a person who struggled with anything. Whatever I wanted to achieve, I achieved, except for finding a good reason for living. That was until I died. Perhaps it was karma, or perhaps it was some particularly sick god. I woke up in a world full of magic and encountered all these women who became romantically obsessed with me. It bears an uncanny resemblance to those garbage isekai series that I had the misfortune of reading in high school. The problem is, I loathe isekai. It got to the point where ever time I read about a busty elf-girl wanting to follow the protagonist, I wanted to throw something. It's illogical and it ruins the flow of the story. But now, I'm the one getting harassed by such illogical people? What complete and utter drivel. If any obsessive crazy person tries to make me theirs without even caring about my opinion, I'll f*cking kill them! I'll kill them all! I'm getting back home no matter what. My favorite manga hasn't finished yet and I want to read it to the end. Q&A Section Q: Is the protagonist mentally healthy? A: No, not even close. Q: Are all the female characters stupid? A: Barring extenuating circumstances, nobody rational would fall for a guy like the protagonist, so there's a bit of selection bias going on here. Q: Is this about a Gary Stu killing a bunch of irrational harem characters in a cliche isekai world? A: Go reread the title and the synopsis. Q: Do the women die because they won't sleep with the protagonist? A: No. I'm not sure where anyone got that from since it's entirely the opposite of what happens.

Empress' Evolution
The bright red light of the flames swallowed her vision but soon that red light transformed into a blue hue and she was dragged into that light. ‘What’s happening?’ It was too bright and she was forced to close her eyes, she was blinded — even though she was already dead. After being pulled into the light she began to feel annoyed as her skin was irritated by some kind of rough sand. By the time she opened her eyes. She could see the full view of the sky. It was blue and there were clouds scattered about. ‘Ugh, is this Hell?’ She stated as she rubbed her head with her fluffy and furry ‘hand’. ‘Furry?’ She looked at her ‘hands’ and her mouth opened wide. Her hands had become soft and fluffy paws of a white-furred beast with purple spots. ‘What the hell?’ She touched her face with her paws and confirmed that it too did not belong to a human. Below, she felt something was moving, she can tell as if it was another limb connected to her. ‘Don’t tell me!’ Turning her head around, she found a seven-inch tail sticking out behind. ‘Phew!’ She felt relieved that it wasn’t what she thought it was. “These soft and paws, this cuddly fluffy hair, this cute tail — ah shit, did I become a beast after my death or have I been dreaming of being human as a beast all this time? If it is the latter that is one long and realistic dream.” === [It’s the former, stupid *] === Said a woman’s voice from in her head. === As always thank you for reading, also the image in the cover is not mine, I found it on Pinterest and thought it was cool and suitable. All credits got to the illustrator. Also, this is a new type of story that I have not read about yet. Basically I am writing an evolution novel without prior knowledge so I don't really know what is considered cliche in this genre.
