[DAY OF THE OUTBREAK…]

sitting at your front door, tying your shoes, you can't shake the feeling that something's off. last night's sleep was weirdly quiet - no dreams, no whispers in your ear, no memories bubbling up to the surface. just a big, empty space where your subconscious usually runs wild. it's unnerving, to be honest. you're used to your mind being a bit of a battlefield, even when you're sleeping. but last night, it was like someone hit the mute button. and now you're left wondering if this is what it's like when... well, when it's all over. is it just silence? nothingness?

the thought sends a shiver down your spine. you're not sure what's more unsettling - the idea of an afterlife that's just a blank slate, or the possibility that last night was just a weird fluke. either way, you can't shake the feeling that something's shifted, and you're not sure what's coming next.

your father's footsteps broke the spell, and you refocused on tying your shoes as the TV droned on in the background. the familiar sounds of his morning routine were comforting - washing dishes, drinking tea, and making job calls. occasionally, he'd cook breakfast, a rare treat when finances allowed. you'd learned to supplement your meals with snacks from school, stashing them away for weekends.

as the news anchor spoke, a name caught your attention - "missing student from hyosan high" - and you turned to see the scientist teacher's son on screen. but before you could process the news, your father's gruff voice cut in, "what'd you do to your hair?" his question was a stark reminder of your own daily struggles. you hesitated, a sheepish shrug your only response. the salt spray you'd applied to enhance your natural texture had slipped your mind, but the 35 anxious glances in the mirror hadn't. you'd sought validation in your reflection, ensuring the subtle waves framed your face just so. "just wanted to, uh, try something different," you mumbled, the words trailing off like a hesitant confession.

your father's gaze lingered for a moment, as if searching for a hidden meaning, before he turned away, disappearing into his room. the unspoken dismissal was clear: time to head out. with a quiet sigh, you grabbed your bag and slipped out the door, leaving the uncertainty of your father's reaction behind, like a lingering whisper in the morning air.

as you locked the door, a spark of excitement ignited. you headed down the steps with enthusiasm, careful not to trip. today was a first: ditching the bus for your bike. it was a small change, but one that filled you with unexpected joy. the prospect of feeling the wind and sun on your face was exhilarating. you smiled at how something so simple had awakened a sense of adventure. your feet hit the concrete with a loud thud, and as you looked up, three imposing figures loomed before you. their black coats billowed behind them like dark wings, and their smiles seemed to hold a sinister intent. you knew exactly who they were - and your heart sank. one of them concealed a bat behind his back, and your excitement was replaced with icy fear. paralyzed, you couldn't even think of calling the police. your father's words still lingered in your mind: "if you want me to live, let them beat me." the memory of his scolding made your stomach twist with anxiety. the men simply walked past you and began to head to the door you once came from only seconds ago. with shaking hands, you hastily untied your bike and stuffed the chain into your backpack, desperate to escape the ominous scene unfolding before you.

as you entered the classroom, your gaze instinctively sought out choi namra, your deskmate and sole point of reference. the murmur of conversations momentarily subsided as you took your seat, but you stood firm, refusing to be swayed by the subtle scrutiny of your peers. today, you had made a deliberate choice to style your hair, sweeping it aside to reveal your face in a departure from your usual disheveled appearance. the tangled locks that often obscured your features were now neatly parted, with wavy bangs framing your tired eyes. just as you settled into your chair, a gentle voice pierced the air, speaking from behind namra, who was engrossed in her textbooks. onjo's warm, kind eyes met yours, accompanied by a soft smile and a subtle thumbs-up. "y/n-ah, you look great today," she said, her words catching you off guard with their sincerity. a spark of surprise ignited within you, leaving you momentarily breathless. did she just say.. great?

your eyes only blankly blinked at her words until you cleared your throat, “w-what?” you asked. unfortunately, the sound of a high-pitched voice had cut off onjo’s next words. “yah!” the entire classroom was now facing a pink-cardigan-wearing nayeon who angrily stepped towards her desk. to which, he was surrounded by wujin and his friends. “get off of there. you stink,” she commanded to gyeongsu, who was sitting on top of her desk. your eyebrows raised at the interaction, gyeongsu hopped off the abnormally upset girl's desk. “oh, okay. my bad,” he spoke with a slight confusion in her tone. he proceeds to wipe off any excess ‘stink’ that he might have left, nayeon raises her voice once again at this. “cut it out! you're so dirty,” she shouts in disgust while moving her backpack away from him. to say that nayeon was privileged was an understatement, but you knew that already. “what the hell is your problem?” gyeongsu murmurs before taking a step forward in rising annoyance.

luckily, his friend cheongsan wraps his arms around his shoulder and tells him to just let it go. knowing that arguing with a disdainful girl like nayeon was practically a suicide mission. before the situation could escalate for the worse, the teacher stepped foot into the classroom. signaling everyone to stop chatting and head to their respective seats.

as the chairs scraped against the floor, your gaze wandered to the window. a tiny mosquito buzzed against the pane, trying to get in. this reminded you of what those threatening men called your father - a mosquito. they said he was a nuisance who took risks and left problems behind. you wondered why your father never talked about his life, before or now. he kept his secrets to himself, never sharing anything you wanted to know. his silence was frustrating, and you wished he would open up.

“alright everyone, c'mon bring up the phones.” your teacher announced. everyone piled to the front to bring their phones, it wasn't something you cared for. the only person you would text nowadays should be your father. if he didn't get a new one every other week that is.

with what money? you never did ask.

when everyone finishes turning their phones in the teacher, being as intelligent as she is, texts the classroom group chat and you suddenly hear a notification sound coming from right in front of you. your long-ago friend, wujin, and to the right of him, was daesu. who quickly looked behind him and looked at namra and you. pretending it was you two who had their phone still, however the entire class knew it was him. including your teacher. “daesu, seriously?” a voice asked in disbelief as the rest of the class laughed at his failed scheme so early in the morning.

the teacher began to go on about english studies and you tried your best to focus this time. to put in effort and change your lifestyle around. you're gonna be the best version of yourself, you're tired of trying to blend in and be accepted, and you will exceed in everything you do your studies, the way you carry yourself, everything. today was the day when you no longer lived in fear and humiliation. the new you was something you are ready for and you're starting to no longer care if others aren't. “y/n-ah!” your head snapped up to the teacher who smiled at you and pointed at your hair, “you look so handsome, wow.” to say your cheeks heat up in embarrassment was an understatement, the class had quiet giggles and all eyes were on you once again. you nodded your head and awkwardly cleared your throat. “let's see… how about you give me your take on individuality, in this case?” she points to the chalkboard where she wrote her previous inquisitions.

with a surge of determination, you straightened your posture, shedding the timid persona that had held you back for so long. just 24 hours ago, you were a different person, but now, you were ready to evolve. taking a deep breath, you began to speak, your voice steady and clear. "um, in this character's case, …she lacks the idea of being her own person. she feeds off of what her friends decide at every moment.." you carefully avoided eye contact with your classmates, focusing intently on your words. "meaning that she kinda sets herself up for disappointment when her results don't match her peers." as you finished speaking, you felt a sense of pride and accomplishment. your teacher's eyebrows shot up in surprise, and a moment of silence hung in the air before she responded, "perfect answer." the words hung in the air like a badge of honor, a testament to your growth and newfound confidence.

suddenly, her eyes darted to the other side of the classroom and her gleeful demeanor changed instantly to a sternful one. “you, bare-su, stand up.” everyone's eyes shot to the back of the class, except yours. “what's with ‘bare-su’?” she asks as he stands up and everyone laughs once again but a little louder now. as you stare out the window, the uncomfortable conversation fades into the background. you'd rather not dwell on the past or revisit old emotions.

the warm sunbeams streaming through the glass wrap around you, and your mind begins to wander. a familiar figure pedals into your daydream - the boy from the bike shop, with eyes like a fox and dark hair that makes your heart skip a beat. the memory of him is a balm to your soul, a sight that soothes your eyes and stirs your pulse. the thought of seeing him again sends a thrill through you, and you can't help but wonder when your paths will cross once more.

kyungho, kyungho, kyungho…

the name stuck to you while you gaze at nothing in the classroom. “oh yeah? what did y/n just say then?” the teacher's question cut through the air, snapping you back to reality as it echoed off the wooden classroom walls. suhyeok's eyes widened in surprise, his gaze fixed on you as if seeing you in a new light. your hair, styled differently, and your eyes, no longer hidden, seemed to have caught him off guard. as his gaze met yours, you quickly looked away, pretending not to care, trying to conceal the flutter in your chest. you didn't want him to think you still had feelings for him, that his presence still affected you.

“he uh… he said..”

just as suhyeok was about to speak, hyeonju burst into the classroom, her shocking appearance captivating everyone's attention. her face was pale, with blood trickling down her cheeks and lips. gasps filled the room as the teacher called out her name, but hyeonju collapsed to the ground, unresponsive. classmates rushed to her side, forming a circle around her as ms. park rushed to her aid. you remained seated, stunned, as ms. park cradled hyeonju's limp body, her face a picture of brutal injury. it looked like she had been hit by a car, with deep gashes and bruises covering her skin. the room was filled with worried murmurs and shocked expressions, as everyone struggled to process the scene unfolding before them.

you stood slowly from your seat when you heard someone ask their friend beside them “did she just say the science teacher drugged her?” your heart dropped. you had had some odd conversations with the science teacher before. him asking you to stay a bit after class and telling you if you felt like you needed to defend yourself from others, to always fight back, and then they’ll leave you alone.

little did he know that you have already done that and it still didn't exactly solve your crisis. you would just nod and awkwardly look away before saying you had to be home soon or else your father was going to come looking for you, even if you both knew, he probably wouldn't. on certain days, the man's demeanor shifted to one of frantic urgency, as he emphasized the harsh principles of survival of the fittest. his intensity was unsettling, leaving you concerned about his well-being. before you could ask if he was okay, he would dismiss you, leaving your questions unspoken. reflecting on these encounters, you revisited the memories, searching for any subtle signs that might have hinted at his inner turmoil.

“we gotta get her up, can you get up, hyeonju-ah?” the teacher tried speaking calmly, but every student in the room knew she was frightened just as much as you all were. “i'll carry her,” suhyeok offered, and began carrying the drifting girl on his back with isak and onjo following out shortly behind. ms. park closed the sliding door, leaving all the students to gather in small groups and discuss what they had just witnessed.

the lunch bell's gentle chime echoed through the school's corridors, signaling the start of the midday break. students sprang into action, eager to escape their classrooms. but you lingered, lost in thought, as you made your way out. questions swirled in your mind: what was wrong with hyeonju? why were people blaming the science teacher? would she recover? and then, a nagging doubt: was suhyeok really looking at me-

you looked up to see cheolsu, a quiet boy often overlooked by his peers, crumpled on the floor. he winced in pain, his eyes wide with surprise, as if your accidental stare had been a physical blow. "oh, cheolsu, are you okay?" you asked, offering a helping hand and lifting him up with ease. the height difference between you two was striking, with cheolsu's slouched posture making him appear even smaller. "ugh, s-sorry...i was in a rush," he stuttered, his eyes cast downward, a habitual gesture that spoke volumes about his struggles.

you shook your head and apologized, "no, sorry, my fault, I wasn't paying attention." as you took a deep breath, your gaze lingered on the scabs around his neck, a subtle hint of a hidden struggle. sensing your notice, he seemed to shield his secret, and you instinctively covered the area with a gentle touch, pretending to rub his neck. seeking to shift the focus, you asked, "heading to the cafeteria?" but he sidestepped your question, his eyes locking onto your hair as he asked, "what's up with your hair?" the familiar criticism stung, a reminder of the constant scrutiny you'd been facing.

“j-just uh,” you hesitate, “doing something different,” you responded while clearing your throat, trying oh so desperately to avoid the awkward ambiance. cheolsu stared at your new look for a few more seconds until he looked at something behind you, his eyes widened before moving to the wall quickly. bewildered by his action, turning to see someone you despised. myunghwan, walking with changhoon smirked as they looked in both of your directions.

your heart sank as you turned to face myunghwan, his smug expression making your blood boil. changhoon, walked alongside him, a sneer twisting his features. you felt cheolsu's tension beside you, his eyes fixed on the duo with a mixture of wariness and hostility.

"look at this," myungwhan stated. they snickered to one another. you rolled your eyes and looked away trying to keep yourself neutral despite the growing unease in your chest. myunghwan chuckled, his eyes gleaming with amusement. his gaze roved over your new appearance, his expression dripping with disdain. "i see, you're trying to.. reinvent yourself," you rolled your eyes, fists clenched. “fuck off.”

but myunghwan just laughed, his eyes glinting with malice. "what, y/n? you gonna defend your new boyfriend? how cute.." you felt a surge of anger at his jab, but cheolsu's warning glance kept you from responding. changhoon, however, seemed eager to stir up more trouble. "yeah, what's going on between you two? you're not...together, are you?"

the air seemed to thicken with tension as myunghwan's smirk grew wider. you knew you had to defuse the situation before it escalated further. but how? you felt a familiar knot in your stomach as myunghwan's smirk seemed to grow roots, digging deeper into your skin. "what's going on here?" a soft voice interrupted, slicing through the thick air.

you turned to see a quiet figure emerging from the crowd, their eyes fixed on changhoon with a mixture of curiosity and wariness.

myunghwan's smirk faltered, and for a moment, you saw a glimmer of uncertainty. "just having a little chat," he said, his tone dripping with false nonchalance. the nurse's gaze lingered on myunghwan before shifting to you and cheolsu. "looks like a pretty one-sided conversation to me." the air seemed to vibrate with unspoken words, and you sensed a hidden dynamic at play. myunghwan's eyes narrowed, but the nurse's calm demeanor didn't waver. you looked down to see a rather odd looking infection on the nurses arm. her arm turning an almost black color, her neck twitching. cheolsu and you shared a look of concern, “um..m-miss…” cheolsu couldn't bring himself to ask so he simply pointed at her revealing forearm.

but before he could say another word, the nurse's eyes rolled back in her head, revealing only whites. her body began to twitch and convulse, her limbs flailing wildly like a puppet on a broken string. her skin turned a sickly shade of green, as moldy bread and dark veins bulge beneath the surface like twisted rivers. a low, guttural moan escaped her lips, growing louder and more menacing with each passing moment. she lunged at changhoon, her fingers grasping for his face like claws, her teeth snapping wildly with almost animalistic hunger. changhoon screamed, his voice high-pitched and terrified, as the nurse's zombie form tackled him to the ground. her hands closed around his head, her fingers digging into his hair like talons. cheolsu stumbled backward, tripping over his own feet as he desperately tried to escape the horror unfolding before him. his eyes were wide with fear, his face pale and sweaty. “what the…?”

suddenly the nurse took a huge chunk of the screaming boys cheek with her teeth. his screams reached new heights as he frantically tried to shake off the nurse's grip, but she held firm. his eyes widened in terror as he realized the nurse's eyes had turned a strange, almost feral gray. just as suddenly as it had begun, the nurse released her grip on the boy's cheek, and he stumbled backward, clutching at the wound. myungwhan saw the opportunity to shove her however, she had other plans. she rushed at him next but myungwhan turned around and shoved you while swiftly running away down the hallway. where many students were gathered around eyeing the intense and gorey happening just seconds ago. they all screamed and began to scatter, seeing that now changhoon was thrashing on the ground uncontrollably.

you hold your shoulder with your right hand, myungwhan had shoved you with full force causing your shoulder to ache and sting. you wince as you quickly gather yourself. you grabbed cheolsu’s arm, pulling him away from the chaos with a strength that was almost desperate. "we need to get out of here, now!" you yelled, dragging him down the hallway as the sound of the nurse's moans echoed behind you, growing fainter but no less terrifying.

cheolsu stumbled after you, your heart racing with fear. the hallway seemed to stretch on forever, the lockers and classrooms blurring together in a mad whirl of color and sound. you could hear the distant moans of people, growing fainter but still echoing through the corridors like a chilling reminder of the horror you'd just witnessed.

"wait, slow down!" he yelled, his voice hoarse from fear.

you didn't listen. your eyes were fixed on the outside quad, you could hear the distant moans and screams, growing louder with every step. you wrenched open the doors and shoved cheolsu first outside before you. "close it! close it!" you shouted, following close behind. as you shut the doors, you see students screaming inside and running into classrooms. panting, you gripped your shoulder once again in pain, while you both noticed people running away outside as well. “shit,” you cursed. “run! everyone run!” you turned to hear a girl screaming while running across the schools soccer field only to get tackled by two other bloodied peers. cheolsu shared a look with you before you both ran toward the outside set of stairs of the school as the infected horde burst through the doors you were once holding behind you.

climbing up the stairs, step by step, you felt weightless until a sudden jolt sent you flying. your body rolled and bounced, landing with a sickening crack on your shoulder. the pain was excruciating, and your scream echoed through the staircase as you finally came to rest at the bottom. gritting your teeth, you opened your eyes to see the cause of your fall: a girl with black braided pigtails, her leg twisted at an unnatural angle, bone protruding from her skin. her eyes, bloodshot and wild, locked onto yours as she gurgled and began to crawl towards you with an unnatural speed. you rolled onto your side, desperate to escape, but she climbed on top of you, her grip on your sweater tightening as she pulled herself up to your face. with a surge of adrenaline, you grabbed a nearby rock with your one good hand and swung it behind you, connecting with a sickening crunch.

in a stroke of luck, the rock sent the girl flying onto the grass, momentarily freeing you. as you gazed up, cheolsu remained paralyzed on the same step, his eyes wide with shock. “cheolsu, help-” you yelled, but the girl latched onto your ankle, attempting to sink her teeth in. you grunted, shaking her off with a series of swift kicks. cheolsu's horror-stricken expression lingered as the girl scaled you once more, her relentless grip unyielding. trying to wriggle free from the girls grasps, you look around quickly to find anything to get away.

just as all hope seemed lost, a fleeing girl accidentally collides with your attacker, diverting her attention. seizing the opportunity, you broke free from the infected girl's grasp. you looked up to see cheolsu's fleeting glance before he turned tail and sprinted up the stairs, abandoning you. “wait, w-where are you going?” you shouted, alarm rising in your voice.

as cheolsu vanished from sight, you sprang to your feet, still reeling from the harrowing encounter. but your relief was short-lived, as another classmate - bloodied and bizarre - began to stir across the school yard. his eyes locked onto yours with a menacing glare, and he charged towards you with a ferocious intensity, plowing through others in his path. his bloody mouth twisted into a snarl as he sprinted closer, and you gasped in terror, bracing yourself for the impending impact. but just as he launched himself into the air, something unexpected happened - a shocking savior appeared out of nowhere, sparing you from the brink of disaster. your eyes widened in astonishment as you turned to behold the last person you ever expected to save your skin.

“we gotta move! come on,” suhyeok grabbed your good arm and pulled you alongside him. you grunted while running feeling a sharp pain every time you moved your body to keep up. you noticed he wasn't alone, choi namra was beside him as well. you never seen her face in any other emotion besides serious. right now, it was horrified.

"what's.. what the fuck is going on?" you panted, wincing in pain as suhyeok's grip tightened around your arm. "what's happening to everyone?"

suhyeok didn't answer, his eyes fixed on some point ahead as he dragged you through the chaotic school yard. choi namra kept pace beside him, her horrified expression never wavering. her eyes darted towards you, and for a fleeting moment, you saw a flicker of concern before her mask of seriousness slipped back into place.

"let me fucking go!" you demanded, trying to keep up with suhyeok's frantic pace. you ripped your arm away from him as you kept running.

"hurry up,," he gritted out, his jaw clenched in determination. "we need to get out of here, now." as you ran, the sounds of mayhem grew louder - screams, crashes, and an eerie, unsettling laughter that sent shivers down your spine. you risked a glance over your shoulder, and what you saw made your blood run cold. the school yard was descending into chaos. students were attacking each other, their eyes vacant, their movements jerky and unnatural. some teachers tried to intervene, but they were vastly outnumbered. the once-familiar surroundings were now a war zone, with desks overturned, windows shattered, and debris scattered everywhere.

suhyeok yanked you back into a sprint, his grip on your arm like a vice. "don't look back!" he yelled. "keep moving!" choi namra kept pace beside him, her eyes scanning their surroundings with a mix of fear and determination. "we need to find a safe place to hide," she shouted above the din. suhyeok nodded, his eyes fixed on a point ahead. "there!"

he led you towards the ladder that was leading up to a window in the school building. you all rushed towards it, once close enough you pushed namra to go first, “go, try to open-”

“no, its not safe. i'll go,” suhyeok states before moving her aside and beginning to climb the ladder, you attempted to hold back an eye-roll. if namra and you were down by where the crazy students were, how were you guys safer..?

you didn't ask the question aloud, as there was no time to bicker over insignificant things. suddenly, you seen two figures barreling towards you and namra. “namra, go up, now!” you grabbed her hand and hoisted her onto the ladder, “go! climb!” you seen suhyeok was being pulled into the window, quickly going back to reach for namra. as namra's feet disappeared into the window, you felt a surge of relief wash over you. but it was short-lived, as you saw suhyeok's eyes widen in terror. "hurry! hurry!" he shouted, his voice strained. you turned to him and tried as quickly as possible to climb with two legs and one working arm. you could hear then snarling as you went upward, when you start to feel the ladder tipping back and forth. the weight of the two men making the ladder almost fold under the pressure, “come on! you got it!”

suhyeoks voice rung through your ears, the burning in your shoulder making you wanna just give up, as you reach your arm for the next step, you suddenly feel yourself being grabbed and hoisted upwards. your body feeling light when you came through the window. suhyeok pulled you with all his might and the pull carried you both to the nearby wall. you stumbled into your dimly lit english classroom, gasping for breath. suhyeok slammed the windows shut behind you, leaning against them to catch his breath. choi namra stood guard, her eyes fixed on the doors as if waiting for the inevitable. you leaned against a nearby wall, your mind reeling with questions.

“so? whats going on out there?” nayeon asked impatiently. out of breath, you held onto to your shoulder gently. everyone out of breath or staring was quiet. no one dared to speak. “are you deaf?” she shouted with a voice crack.

“shut up,” you muttered. everyone's eyes were glued to you now. “what?” she asked with disbelief, folding her arms over her chest. you closed your eyes while holding in tears because of the pain in your shoulder. “i said…shut up.” you repeated with vigor this time. standing upwards nonchalantly while looking at the doors who were being held by your classmates. “oh you little piece of-”

“stop it! both of you! now's not the time for this!” jimin shouted. you winced again with a heavy breath this time. once again all the attention turned towards you. “what happened to you?” onjo asked while walking towards you, only to be stopped by her best friend, cheongsan. onjo glared at him before removing his arm, however choosing to still stand beside him.

“i fell,” they stared at you for more information, “down the stairs outside. one of those..things tackled me.” upon being further informed the students all seemed to be getting more nervous.

“oh..my god. what the hell are they?”

the two girls huddled in the corner with freak-struck facial expressions. meanwhile gyeongsu looked like his arms were gonna break from holding the door from opening. “don't you know? theyre.. zombies.”

What men bred for

3.5 Private modification

In a mysterious and dark room, a large device was buzzing, with fluorescent lights flashing one after another. The screen next to it displayed data detected and analyzed by AI, and a progress bar marked the current process.

Subject: EX-11

Physical Enhancement: 90%

Mind Conversion: 70%

Memory Erase: 50%

Emotional State: Stable

Libido Level: Medium

…………

The owner of the subject looked at the data and smiled with satisfaction.

It's amazing that this subject is still resisting and holding on longer than the previous ten subjects. Although individuals with strong mind power are difficult to tame, once conquered, they will become more loyal than ordinary individuals, will not betray their masters, and will be more ferocious in battle.

It was a wise decision to buy this "wild human" at a high price on the black market. It was a wise decision to buy this "wild human" at a high price on the black market. Originally, he was worried that the businessman was deceiving him by saying that this human was a "non-genetically modified human" who accidentally escaped from a hunting ground. It seems that he is worrying too much.

Humans produced by the government for legal purchase are added with various unnecessary genes, especially the absolute obedience gene, which limits human potential.

Nowadays, only those "prey-type" humans who are released in "hunting grounds" for the wealthy Alien Masters to hunt for entertainment may have pure genes closest to the original humans, but even among the "prey-type" there are many individuals have genes from other organisms added to them, making it difficult for the owner to adjust them to his own needs.

The law also stipulates that humans who escape from hunting grounds must be killed immediately. Because they are able to escape from complex alien technological protection measures and survive stubbornly in the wild, it means that they are individuals with superior IQ and physical abilities than ordinary humans, and are very likely to cause ecological catastrophe.

Therefore, the experimental body in the machine can be said to be the best of the best, rare to find. This human being will become his owner's strongest fighter in the underground fighting arena. Throwing humans into metal cages to fight has become a popular pastime for the Alien Masters, much like how humans once played cockfights. Moreover, centuries ago, humans also locked themselves in cages and fought with each other. It is human nature.

The owner couldn't wait to see what his carefully adjusted fighter looked like now, so he opened the machine's observation window. Inside the machine was a bucket filled with milky white viscous liquid, which is the so-called Modification Tank. The liquid was filled with body-enhancing nutrients, medicines, and DNA carefully selected by the owner to suit the fighter. Through advanced technology, the DNA of the subject would be assimilated and transformed with the DNA in the pool, and he would become a more perfect version.

The base of the liquid was, of course, human semen. Male humans are extremely obsessed with semen. Spraying semen on their heads or bodies will make them blush, their heart beats, their metabolism accelerates, and their spirits are high. So immersing human subjects in the semen pool will naturally improve the efficiency and success rate of transformation. Although the owner cannot produce a large amount of semen with the few humans at hand, it is a common product that can be purchased on the market, although it is usually used as food or drink.

"Raise the experimental subject" the owner commanded the machine.

The human experimental subject EX-11 rose from the thick milk. He has a strong body, a sculpted figure, and a beautiful face. The owner was so excited but also surprised that he actually had a "sexual interest" in this lowly creature! Is he a zoophile? He must discuss this with his psychiatrist.

EX-11's eyes and ears were covered with the brainwashing device, which was a visor with built-in headphones. This device was erasing his unnecessary memories and transforming his desire for freedom into loyalty to his master. It also had the function of calming his emotions.

Control rings were attached to his limbs. Not only is this device heavy, but its movement direction is controlled by a computer. Not only can it avoid human resistance, but it can also force him to perform various actions, such as now allowing him to display his perfect body for the owner to admire.

His hips and thighs were covered in rubber combat shorts, which allowed him to more quickly accept his new identity: a fighter and warrior slave. Having body wrapped tightly ccan turn some humans on, and owners are glad the EX-11 is no exception.

Finally, the most important part: the groin, was fitted with a special chastity belt. This is not simply to prevent his erection, but to control his sexual function to cooperate with the brainwashing device and increase the efficiency of transformation. The inside of this device is a sucker in the front and an anal plug in the back. There is a catheter in between to connect the urethra and anus, so his urine, prostatic fluid, and semen will be used for his own use and will not be wasted.

The owner looked at his perfect creation and couldn't wait to use it, touch it, put it into action, and show it off to his friends.

"Computer, perform the latest brainwashing program to allow his mind conversion to catch up with the progress of his physical transformation."

"Confirmed, start program: Gamma-Alpha-Psi-69"

Ex-11 began to tremble, pant, and roar. The owner laughed excitedly, "Become my fighter now! EX-11!"

————————————————————

What's going on? I remember that I fell into a coma after being caught by the robot. When I woke up, I smelled full of semen, and why couldn't I move? What are these strange symbols and the spiral in front of my eyes? My lower body seems to be covered by something. It’s a little uncomfortable but I feel so happy. So strange.

"You will obey. You are male. Male all obey."

"I am male, I obey." I recite reflexively, and feel my penis being massaged, and something inserted further into my anus. Feel so good. Obey, feel good.

"You will fight. You are male. Male all fight."

"I am male. I will fight." Yes, I will fight and obey! No! It’s not logical! I should fight the urge to obey! I must be free! I escaped the horrible wild land and lived free with my partner! Ahhh!! It’s hurt! My penis and balls are being squeezed so hard!

"Incorrect! You are a slave. You will fight for owner!"

When the voice said "slave" and "owner", I feel immediately pleasure from my back hole! It’s wrong, I must resist but….

"Resistance is pointless, disobedience is wrong. It is wise to give up and right to obey. You are male, you obey and fight. You are a slave and you fight for the owner."

"I…I am male, slave, fight for the owner." And a sudden pleasure wash all over my body. This is correct.

"You are EX-11. You like blood. You are violence. You are a fighter. "

No! I fight but not for blood! I fight because I am male, a male fight for free…Ah, no! I am a male fighter slave of my owner….

Oh, the massage on my phallus is so good. Fight for owner is so good. And there is the blood scenes in front of me, I can feel the blood. Blood smells so good. I roar and tense my muscles, I feel my phallus leaking unstoppably.

"You are a fighter slave, you are bloody violent but you also love your owner."

I had a lover in wild land, he was also captured. But he is nothing to me now. All I need is my owner. I love my owner, fight for him and obey his every command.

"Show your loyalty and strength to your owner, you will be rewarded!"

I roar and lift my arms, flex my muscles, and announce, "I am EX-11, I am a fighter slave, I love my owner, I obey!"

"You did a good job. You are rewarded."

I feel lots of sperm falling from ceiling to my whole body. It smells and test so wonderful. And at the same time, I reach my orgasm. Loads after loads of my sperm ejected from my phallus, and my anus filled with my own liquid. That’s so correct. I was so immersed in pleasure that I forgot how I lost consciousness again.

—————————————————————

The owner was shocked at what he saw. This human being was able to overcome the suppression of the bracelet and raise his arm! Did he make his humans too powerful?

Although EX-11 seems to be very intoxicated in the process of becoming a real slave, immersed in the pleasure brought by orgasm and semen, unable to extricate himself. The owner still panicked and ordered the computer to fully take over EX-11's consciousness. EX-11 immediately put down his hands and lowered his head, like a lifeless puppet.

"Lower the experimental subject into the transformation tank and continue the remaining procedures."

After EX-11 was lowered into the barrel, the observation window was closed. Owners with lingering fears take a look at the data:

Subject: Ex-11

Physical Enhancement: 91%

Mind Conversion: 90%

Memory Erased: 80%

Emotional State: Over excited (forced sleeping)

Libido Level: Extremely high (forced cooling down)

………

The owner thought about it and decided to take a safety precaution.

"Computer, before installing the combat skills package, create the drone mode and set the mode conversion password."

"Confirmed"

After all, this human is too natural and lacks the gene for absolute obedience. No matter how confident you are, you must use it with caution.

The owner began to imagine the joyful scene of this fighter slave being converted into drone mode by him after a bloody match, allowing him to play with it to his heart's content.

Oh no, he really needs to make an appointment with a psychiatrist.

On the subject of Elven perfume-making

The Sindar of Doriath are the experts and pioneers in Elven perfumes and fragrances. Though perfume-making was a popular pastime among female Elves, it hasn't stopped male Elves from making their own fragrances as well.

During the Years of the Trees, many Iathrim women would venture to all the forests of Doriath to study the plants, berries, and flowers that grew. They went to Neldoreth, Brethil, Nivrim, Region, and Radhrim, and using what they learned from trial and experimentation, they would gather and cultivate the flora and herbs and berries with the best fragrances and perfume notes. Then, they would use them to create perfumes by distilling certain ingredients in brandy.

The five most popular Doriathrim fragrances are:

Lavender: while useful as an antiseptic and an air freshener for sick rooms, lavender also has other uses. Sindarin women often use lavender soaps and elixirs for bathing, and it's also a popular fragrance for everyday use. Mothers also use lavender balms to soothe their children and help them sleep. This started when Lúthien was a baby, and had trouble sleeping. Melian made herself smell like lavender, and she would also rub baby Lúthien with a lavender balm to soothe her into sleep. Since then, a lot of Sindarin mothers began using lavender balms on their children; a tradition that would be carried down throughout the ages.

Sandalwood: this perfume is popular for both Sindarin men and women for one particular reason- its aphrodisiac qualities. With its distinctive soft, warm, smooth woodsy scent, it is especially powerful when mixed with a floral fragrance. Sandalwood is frequently mixed with jasmine to reduce stress and enhance arousal. It's common to spray marital beds with sandalwood perfume to enhance arousal in a newlywed couple. In addition, many Sindarin brides wear this perfume on their wedding night, and it's quite common to give a bottle of sandalwood and jasmine perfume as a wedding gift to a newly-married couple.

Orange blossom: this scent is commonly worn in late spring or early summer. It's a sweet, refreshing, and delicate scent, which stimulates the senses and brings a sense of anticipation for the summer months. In Doriath, this scent is associated with youthfulness, and is given to adolescent Elves on their first teenage begetting day. Orange blossom perfume is mostly popular among the Sindar of the Falas, where the coastal environment almost enhances the citrusy qualities of the scent.

Mugwort: while this herb is commonly used in Sindarin herbal medicine, it's also quite popular for male fragrances in Doriath. It has fresh, herbaceous, and bitter notes, and it's often combined with other ingredients like amber and cedarwood to create a comforting and woodsy scent. The march wardens of Doriath often rub themselves with mugwort balms so that they can hide their natural scent and blend into their environment whenever they go hunting. It makes it much easier for them to hunt without their scent being detected by the animals.

Sage: this herb has soothing qualities to it that makes it useful in both medicine and in fragrances. Its distinctly herbal scent has proven to be calming in many ways, and it has also been used in incense as well. During times of war, the soldiers of Doriath would perfume their armour and weaponry with sage incense as part of a ritual, and many would use sage incense to meditate as well. The fragrance allows soldiers to soothe their minds and nerves before battle, allowing them to reflect on the probability of death, on their hope of survival, and the possibility of victory. Following the First Battle of Beleriand, sage became associated with funerary rites and mourning as well, as many fallen soldiers were commemorated with sage incense during lengthy funeral services in the wake of the battle.

F/O Headcanons: Pokemon Universe Edition!

(More will be added with time)

(Also, many of these are inspired from headcanons I’ve previously read, so you may recognize them. Unfortunately, most of these have been in my phone for a long time so I don’t remember some of the original sources; if you do though, please message me so I can give proper credits)

Aromatisse tend to make potpurri nests

Nessa and Raihan are cousins.

Leon does not know how to break open a safe or pick locks… Hop knows how to do both. In fact Hop has numerous skills that are also a little shady.

It’s hard keeping a Riolu at their beginning stage because they are very loving, loyal and friendly pokemon. Don’t give your kid a Riolu because you will be taking care of a Lucario.

Phantump can possess all kinds of tree stumps (fruit trees, redwoods, birch trees, etc.). This gives them some natural variation in appearance.

Kirlia will often "intern" under Gallade and Gardevoir in order to enhance their psychic abilities. Which one a Kirlia trains under is thought to influence its evolution if male.

Magikarp are popular among breeders because they have a good amount of variation and produce lots of eggs. You can get Magikarp/Gyarados in various colors and patterns because of this. This is also true among Rattata, but they’re less popular due to people considering them weak and boring.

Absol are known for being paranoid. They are extremely protective of their trainers and will try to prevent any negative thing from happening to them, even if that thing is "leaf blows into their face" or something equally mundane.

Sylveon and Umbreon get along surprisingly well because they're both stealth hunters.

One popular textile company uses a stylized Leavanny for their logo.

Modern Pokeballs create simulations for the Pokemon inside that make them feel like they're in a large environment. In addition to making the Pokeball feel extra comfortable, they also help keep the Pokemon enriched.

Eevee and their evolutions arguably have the cutest courtship rituals on the planet. They start off by showing interest with short yips and sniffing, studying each other. After that, play-fighting ensues. When that's done, the pair share tiny kisses on the cheek.

Umbreon can spray poison from their rings. They can poison themselves if they breathe it in accidentally due to not being poison-types, but the toxins are pretty mild.

Leavanny can fly, but only for very short distances and not very far off the ground.

A popular rumor states that the more powerful the Lucario the more black they have on their bodies, but there's nothing scientific to back up this claim.

There are some that believe that Fidough evolve faster when around fire-type Pokemon. This claim has yet to be scientifically backed, however.

Young Vulpix will actively try to get their trainers to "hold their paw for reassurance.

The Leavanny line becomes incredibly agitated if they don't have any materials to "sew" with, so make sure they have access to plenty of greenery.

Absol live in isolation out in the wild, only coming together to breed and take care of their pups.

Jolteon oddly prefer sparkling water. Many theorize that the breed generally prefer foods that cause ‘tingly’ sensations as it’s similar to the hum of electricity.

Legendary and guardian pokemon in Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh, Unova, and Kalos are so rarely seen they are thought of as myths. Meanwhile the Tapu guardians in Alola have shown up in people's backyards to mess around with their sprinklers and lawn ornaments.

Luxray are used as police or medical Pokemon in Sinnoh due to their ability to see through objects and strong stature. They are good at finding and retrieving victims and people who need assistance. Along with that they can be trained to listen for heartbeats and give electricity in a way similar to an AED.

There is a superstition in Johto that if an Eevee jumps into a child's crib, the child is blessed. Often times for baby showers, the mother is gifted an Eevee egg for this very reason. When the kit hatches, it is left in the room with the baby. If the Eevee stays by the child's side, but outside the crib, the child is destined to be average and live a normal life. However, if the Eevee jumps inside the crib and sleeps next to the child, the child will be blessed with fortune, prosperity, and joy.

It's thought that having someone with a positive aura take care of Riolu eggs helps them to hatch faster.

Eevees tend to mimic the personality and habits of their trainers. If their trainer tends to be energetic, the Eevees will get a share of that energy too. If, on the other hand, the trainer tends to be more on the relaxed and a bit lazy side the Eevees will behave like that too.

Popplio are frequently used for public performances and other forms of entertainment. It works out nicely, as it serves as excellent enrichment for them

Swablu's soft, cotton-y down is a favorite filler for pillows, especially because they shed it often. Nowadays it's more common to find synthetic substitutes.

Eevee’s love to be groomed and accessorized, especially on their tail. They don't like baths though but they groom themselves well.

Hisuian Growlithe/Arcanine are still found in some volcanic regions, but they are incredibly rare and protected under law.

A group of Chingling/Chimecho are known as a gong.

While Vulpix and Ninetales have incredible fur, harming one is considered bad luck and, in some areas, sacrilegious.

Frieren Liveblog- Chapters 21-24

Last time, Fern demonstrated that she is the fastest staff in the west, while Stark realized that he can, in fact, defeat a little girl in strength-based combat.

Wait, what? Are Frieren and Fern using some sort of forbidden technique to enhance their power? How deplorab-

I can't even finish that thought without laughing. I am a Marcille fan after-all. As long as they aren't harnessing unwilling souls or something, it's probably fine.

Oh geez, I guess this explains Frieren's outlook on life. Everyone she cared about died in this attack.

Good thing Flamme found her and thought her... something. I have a bad feeling about this.

I guess that explains why they are on the verge of extinction. And why Frieren hates demons with such passion.

I just think she's neat.

So that's the trick. Demons are prideful powerscaling idiots, so just make yourself look weak, and you can overpower them with ease. A bit underhanded to be sure, but it's no less ethical than a rogue using shadows to their advantage.

Oh. OH! Is this going, where I think it's going? Aura's about to mess up big time, and we're gonna get the demon lady on our team!

Maybe. Guess I'll flip to chapter 22 to see if I'm right.

Ah, so there is a distinction. I imagine the more physical threats we've faced were normal monsters, while spellcasters like Qual are demons.

We know Himmel fanned the flames later on, but I wonder if this is the moment Frieren gained her fascination with niche magic.

Did Frieren disguise herself as a human? Or is this an art error? It's only in this one panel, so I imagine the latter.

Yes, it's definitely because you recognize her as a powerful mage, and not because it was love at first sight.

What.

WHAT.

WHAT????

My disappointment is immeasurable, and my day is ruined.

Frieren, don't think a cute moment where you finally commend your companions will make me forgive you. I was so looking forward to having a begrudging demon mage in the party.

Don't worry, Frieren has the finest collection of fake Flamme grimoires the world has ever seen.

Yeah, yeah, funny times a plenty for you, I'm sure. If only you weren't so quick to order beheadings.

God, I love these idiots. Maybe I can find it in my heart to forgive them.

All the best mages are quasi-legal.

Gee, if only you had a cool demon mage to keep you warm with fire magic or something.

An important image.

So cold Fern. Get it? Ok, I'll stop.

Gently yoink the elf.

Just because he isn't wearing a shirt doesn't mean he's a pervert. Though, with how rare elves are, I have a bad feeling I know where this conversation is going.

A precious image.

Hoo boy. Let's see how bad this goes. Keep the spray bottle ready Fern.

You know, I'm currently also reading My Hero Academia. It's pretty interesting, though the sexist undercurrents are... questionable. Frieren follows some basic gender role stereotypes, with our warrior being male and the mages being female, but outside that, this manga treats its women very kindly. It's quite refreshing after having to read Mineta's shenanigans over and over again.

It's kinda obvious how you use way more mana than you seem to have total. Demons are just too prideful to notice.

Huh. How about that. Turns out Kraft wasn't a pervert after all. I wonder if this is the last we see of him?

And that's it for now! Quite exciting, though I'm still quite upset at Kanehito Yamada for not making Aura part of the party.

Ah well, there's still, like, six more demon generals. Maybe one of them can join the team.

Simply put, an exaggeration of spiders ballooning. - WYVORSILLA Title - Windshear spider Monster class - Temnoceran Known locales - High-altitude environments such as mountains and clifftops Element/ailment - Bleed + Water Elemental weakness - Ice (3), Dragon (3), Thunder (2), Fire (0), Water (0) Ailment weakness - Stun (3), Paralysis (2), Poison (2), Blast (1), Sleep (1) Wyvorsilla is a bizarre temnoceran perfectly adapted to high-altitude environments supported by updrafts, typically mountains. Boasting a rather compact and fuzzy body, sections of its head have extended to bolster its vision, whilst its limbs have become highly specialised to its lifestyle. The pedipalps and first pair can extend blade-like extensions for cutting, whilst the second and third pairs handle walking, able to curl up if need be. The fourth pair is for when Wyvorsilla takes to the air using silken parachutes connected to the abdomen, extending wing-like membranes to help catch the wind and manoeuvre. Wyvorsilla's strange anatomy makes sense in light of its lifestyle as an eccentric carnivore. Similar to its distant cousin Jansilla, Wyvorsilla excels in bringing down flying prey. By using its abdomen to spin sturdy parachutes of silk, the temnoceran takes to the sky, drifting along with the wind until it sights prey- typically a monster such as Paolumu or Seraphibra. Boldly, it will drop down onto the target, using its blade-like limbs to cut their wings and send them crashing down while Wyvorsilla escapes harm by spinning another parachute. This hunting process is energetically demanding, but well worth it to kill larger prey. Much like Jansilla, Wyvorsilla is not known to harass humans; it simply ignores them. Should a researcher feel threatened by its presence, a sonic bomb can drive it off by reminding it of a natural predator, Legiana. As expected, Wyvorsilla primarily relies on its bladed limbs to attack. While it cannot spray webbing like other temnocerans can, Wyvorsilla makes up for this with its excellent mobility and precise strikes. In addition, special ports on its abdomen store water, which can be pressurised and then released either to blast foes or propel the temnoceran, further enhancing its mobility. That said, against most opponents Wyvorsilla prefers to retreat, simply spinning a silk parachute and catching the wind to escape. Rare for temnocerans, males and females are indistinguishable from each other. Wyvorsilla will gather from far and wide to mate, taking to the skies in a vast colony. Females release their eggs in special sacs that catch the wind, and likewise with the males and their spermatophores. When the sacs bump together, the eggs are fertilised, and are breezed away. When they eventually land, the spiderlings soon emerge, working together in groups to survive until they are old enough to take to the air. The phenomenom of Wyvorsilla gathering to reproduce is known as a Windward Cluster. Predators are also attracted to these gatherings; usually the temnoceran's nemesis Daemona Xocoe, but even the likes of Legiana and Ibushi have been spotted. Wyvorsilla makes for a respectable challenge to hunters given its cunning and environmental exploitation (Low Rank - 3, High/Master Rank - 3). Engaging it in the air is folly, so focus attacks while it is grounded and prevent it from retreating with a parachute. Ice weapons can disrupt its water ports, making it easier to target the temnoceran's joints. While flash pods are ineffective, sonic bombs can panic Wyvorsilla and leave it open to attack. Wyvorsilla occupies a median niche in its environment; while a bane to flyers like Seraphibra and Paolumu, it itself may be easy prey for the likes of Legiana, whose icy winds freeze the temnoceran's watery coating and rendering it helpless. However, its nemesis is the piscine wyvern Daemona Xocoe, whose bioluminescent displays are oddly entrancing to Wyvorsilla, making it easy prey. - Thank you for reading and take care.

Lawrence’s Puppet’s

Part 1

Chris Evans is one day away from his next project a return to a new Marvel Studios run project and he is not truly too excited about the anxiety that comes with it.

I have manage to follow follow his girlfriend to his home in to the secretly kept house as the car parks and exit out match each of her steps.

Chris holds the door open for her pulling her in to a sweet kiss, with smirk in the back of him I place a tiny mind control chip in to the back of his head.

The chip melts in to the back of neck sinking in deep under it washing through his system to flush in to his blood stream I knew that I and him.

His girlfriend reacts fast as he freezes with no effort and is totally under my control now and she attempts to make an escape.

I smirk flipping Chris completely off then open the panel of the house shutting every thing down including the doors and the lights.

Chris Evans mind is transporting into a mind enhancing computer system I have created in spite of it all.

I glee with excitement as my cell vibrates out of control alerting me to the beginning process.

Chris eyes roll back into their sockets, body slumps falling in to the wall, and drool falls

on to his cheek.

“Tsk…tsk…tsk…you can’t escape and Chris is mine now.”

“Why are you doing this to us?”

“Oh! I don’t want you”

“Wait! What?”

“Ssssshhhhhh….take a deep breath”

“Nnnnoooo….aaaahhhhh!”

“You will never remember any of this by the morning.”

“It will all but a dream”

“Just your paranoia.”

His girlfriend is in for a shock lifting a tall spray canister in her face backing her up to the wall.

The canister shook in my hand then my tiny finger pressing the tip of it letting the fog of aerosol go in to the air.

It hit his face head on she sneezes out loud soon their eyes falls deep a sleep closing as she slump on the door.

She fell forward in to my arms as I lay her on to the floor leaving her to fall in to a deep lifeless state.

I pick up both arms dragging her into the end of the hallway her body shifts out till her shadows over the cast the grounds of his home.

I take her keys out placing her in the car then snap my finger as she and the rest of the people in his life disappear forever all time.

I open my cell phone typing in my password to see type screen blow up showcasing all of the transactions.

His brain function, heart rate and more so o can be aware of his health I can’t stop my mind of lusting after him.

I hear a huge bing telling me he is ready at last inside my home Chris the puppet wakes up staring mindlessly at the wall.

“Perfect! If I have my way and I already do my dear Chris.”

“Rise from your comatose state indulge my place.”

“Walk to me my love, and forget the entirety of the world you live in.”

“Stand next to me, say good by to your world.”

“BYE!”

“Mwahahahahaha”

“Soon we will arise once more”

“You will be my main and private attraction”

“Sir Yes Sir”

Twenty hours later I walk in to pitch black room slamming the door to see a solo light raining down on Chris Evans tied to a chair.

“Wake up!”

“Snap”

“Master Lawrence “

“It’s show time”

“Sir Yes Sir”

Part 2

Sebastian Stan woke up in strange bedroom in a unfamiliar location overlooking bright blue guise of the ocean.

Panic set in racing towards the door he jolt up at the knob turning forcing him to back up to his surprise.

Captain America himself dances in the room Chris Evans in just a sexy male maids outfit showing off his skin.

He smirks grabbing his crotch then moving to him, Sebastian some how for no reason at all is sort of transfixed by the event.

Chris does a spin then with a hand and leg latches on to Sebastian shoving him to the chair.

He sits on his lap doing a lap dance throbs are hard and tense seducing him in to boiling mess.

Chris kissed him slowly exciting him up his hand hits his chest placing the device on him letting it sink.

Sebastian can no longer think one thing in that mindless fogged up brain of his is what lucky man.

Sebastian cannot feel the connection of skin wire or machine entangling with sweat and bones brainwashing him.

“Hello everyone! My name is Chris E and my Master has a show for you.”

“Sit back and relax “

“If you want a private show fork over the doe”

“Give it up for Sebastian “

“He is out for lunch at the moment “

“He will join us soon”

“Until then let’s play with his body”

“Hell! Yeah”

“One at a time”

“Master Lawrence will be proud”

“Careful don’t ruin it “

“You buy the merchandise you break”

“Look at him”

“A bitch in heat”

“Can I fuck him?”

“I want him raw”

“I’ll cook him with my cock”

“What the fuck are you talking about?”

One man losses his marbles races up the staircase by passing everyone grabbing hold of him.

Yanking him up by the collar the man wraps his body over him getting hands his hand slips in to his pants.

“I’ve been waiting for you “

“I must have you”

“Cough it up “

“Or what ?”

“Pay to use “

“He is Master Lawrence property “

“Fuck that!”

“Move it”

“Fine”

“Baz sit down”

“Everyone out”

“Master! Will be displeased”

“Ummm… Master Lawrence “

“Oh! You are awake”

Unnatural (v2-8)

(Chapter List)

MATURE CONTENT WARNING : This story deals with some disturbing themes. Check the tags. IF any of these are triggers for you or will disturb you... then DO NOT READ!!

Jaune in his Anna form easily slipped thorough the shadows around the secured entrance of the apartment block’s entrance. The one she was after wasn’t the only perverse vermin inside the building. The place was ripe with potential prey, but they could wait. Jacob Dahmer was the target. Anna started up the stairs. Her destination, the third floor. On the first landing, she met… a delay.

“Hey sweet thi…” the man’s pickup line was cut short by his face impacting the wall, with the crunch of his nose breaking.

“You bit…” His associate’s comment was cut off as just as quickly when the back of his head bounced off the wall, causing him to slide limply to the floor.

“I don’t have time for your pathetic shit.” Anna commented as she moved past the two now unconscious young men.

On the second floor landing, she ran into another group of young people loitering about. This time, a malicious grin flashing her shark like teeth caused the gathered collection of a couple of guys and a few girls to all to back off.  Unmolested, Anna continued her climb, and soon found herself standing outside the entrance door of her destination.

/==/

“So Annabel is targeting your ex?” Saphron asked, a little surprised at Terra’s admission after being asked, is she knew where Jaune was going. “That doesn’t make sense. Annabel only…”

“I never told you… but he was abusive, and I happened to get pregnant…because… because…” tears welled up in Terra’s eyes as her words began to get choked off due to her rising emotions.

“He caused you to miscarry?” Saphron asked softly as she pulled her into a warm hug. Terra only nodded, unable to form words. “It all makes sense now.”

/==/

Upon seeing the rundown and filthy nature of the apartment’s interior, coupled with the near cloud of corruption scent in the air, Anna growled. Moving further into the unit, she found Jacob’s current girlfriend on conscious on the couch. The bruises were fresh, as were the needle marks in her arm. Anna was seething now, as she began to use her enhanced sense to locate her quarry. The minute whimper of “No, stop. Mom?” drew Anna towards the back bedroom. 

The door was closed, but she could easily hear the sounds of two people moving about. She could also hear their breathing, and knew the difference. One was panicked, fearful. The other was even, calm, almost aroused. Before Anna could act, Annabel forced her way forward, replacing her,

“It’s time to play.” Annabel snarled as she stepped into the shadows and melted from sight. She rematerialized inside a dirty and cramped room. Even in the dim light cast by the single shaded bedside lamp, she could see everything.

“Where’s mom?” a thin waif of a preteen girl asked in a shaking voice.

“She’s drugged out of her mind, like always, girly.” the male spoke, his tone dark and lecherous. “So why don’t you and I play while she sleeps it off. Behave and I’ll buy you that dress you want.”

“Stay away.” the preteen whimpered as she tried to back away from the approaching figure of the thin, disheveled, a sloppy looking older man.

“Don’t be like that, baby. We’ll have a good time… I’ll make sure you feel…” his words were cut off with a gurgling cry of pain, causing his intended victim to freeze in fear.

“So you like to play with young girls, do you, Jacob Dahmer?” came a sinisterly malicious voice from behind him. “So shall we play?”

Jacob tried to respond, but could only gurgle. Bloody foam and spittle spraying from his mouth. He couldn’t breathe, and his entire attention was on the pain in his upper back. He gagged and let out a gurgling sound as the sound of snapping bone filled the room, at the same instant he lost all feeling below his waist. A moment later, he found himself laying in a crumpled heap on the floor. Struggling to breathe, he watched wide eyes as a teenaged girl walked over him and towards the daughter of his girlfriend.

“What’s your name?” 

“Daisy.”

“Daisy, I’m Annabel and I came to save you, but you have to do something for me, well two things, okay?”

“Like… what?” Daisy asked in a meek and terror filled voice.

“I want you to call Emergency Services, and tell them to come here. You need to help your mother, and yourself. Can you do that?” Daisy nodded, “Good, now I want you to tell me something… I want you to be honest, because I will know if you are lying.”

Daisy nodded again.

“Do you want Jacob to go away, forever? Do you want me to hurt him for hurting you and your mother?”

“Y… y… yes.” Daisy replied.

“Would you like to watch me hurt him?”

“Will he… die?”

“He will.”

“Yes.”

/===/ A/N : So One more post before Volume 2 is complete. This one is not one of my better posts. Sticking point is how to reconcile Terra - Saphron - Jaune, considering that Jaune/Anna/Annabel is a mass murders(serial killer). While his mother accepts/condones it... I need to think/figure out a way that Terra might not condone it, but at least accept it without feeling the need to turn Jaune in?

Inhale the scent of the powerful and etheral fallen angel. To go with the One Winged Angel's image, Sephiroth's crystal bottle is made of black glass and printed with the angel's wing. Sephiroth's scent intoxicates you through layers of smells. The fruits and aqua notes infuse you with new energy, the green floral bouquet such as rose and freezia freshen you up and enhance your charisma, lastly the subtle cedarwood and musk will give the delicate scents of flowers and fruits the extra spice. Perfect for both men and women, the Sephiroth Eau de Toilette is here for you to prepare for your crazy day.

------------------------------------

Feel your favourite character through their scent. Since Lightning, the female version of Cloud has her bottle of Eau de Toilette, and the product is so overwhelmingly popular with her fans, her male counterpart, Cloud has to have his own scent. Cool and fruity, this original perfume is suitable for both men and women, office workers and party girls.

Spray on the layers of scent, first comes the fresh citrus and fruits, then the sexy floral bouquet and lastly, everything is wrapped up in a cool, slightly more masculine whiff of woody Oriental Note.

Cloud's probably smells way better. I don't know what they smell like for reference, but the fact that they dumped like 11 different ingredients for Seph's perfume probably means it smells like hot shit.

Cool bottles though. I'd like those for my collection.

90’s Fragrances, Day 7: Jean Paul Gaultier Le Male EDT (1995) and Classique EDT (1993)

For the last day of my 90's fragrances week, I chose an absolute icon, celebrating her 30th birthday this year. For a twist, I decided to layer with her male counterpart, who launched a couple of years later. I think you'd struggle to find someone who hasn't seen or heard of these fragrances and their many limited edition bottle designs and spin-off scents, Jean Paul Gaultier definitely took the fragrance world by storm when he released these. I've said this before, but this was one of the first 'real' fragrances I ever bought myself as a teenager, back before it was even called "Classique". I had the deodorant spray in the sculpted body casing, miniatures that hung from a silver necklace, limited edition summer releases...I was obsessed with the bottle design and the imagery in the ads with those pierced nails, which I also replicated! I actually had to stop wearing the perfume in my early 20's as I became oddly allergic to it, but seem to be able to wear it again now. For reference, the photo above shows miniature dab-ons, but today I wore a spray Classique with the dab-on Le Male.

Le Male is an Amber Fougere fragrance for men, from 1995 by Francis Kurkdjian. Top notes are lavender, mint, cardamom, bergamot and artemisia. It has middle notes of cinnamon, orange blossom and caraway with vanilla, tonka bean, amber, sandalwood and cedar in the base. Classique is an Amber Floral fragrance for women from 1993 by Jacques Cavallier. Top notes are orange blossom, star anise, rose, mandarin orange, pear and bergamot. In the middle you'll find ylang-ylang, ginger, orchid, tuberose, iris and plum with base notes of vanilla, amber, musk, cinnamon and sandalwood.

This fragrance combination definitely changed throughout the day, but there was an overall soapiness, much more prevalent than usual. I know LM can remind people of a barber shop style smell and having not worn it before (my Dad has worn it for years though, so I'm familiar with the scent on him), I'm not sure if the layering enhanced this or it would always smell like that on me. I never normally pick up on the mint, a scent I happen to love, though I'm yet to like it in a fragrance, but I definitely detected a cool feeling from the top notes without smelling mint, which I found interesting. C always has a lot going on and yes, on it's own it is soapy, a bit powdery but not like Boudoir yesterday.

The star anise I think is what I'm not so fond of and sometimes this fragrance can be overbearing on me and headache inducing, so I don't wear it much these days. Ask my Uni friends my signature scent (from late 90's-early 00's) and they'd all yell, "JPG" without hesitation! I even sprayed it all over a bus going to Edinburgh after a girl (not with us) barfed all over the floor and the smell of sick makes me feel sick, so needs must...ahh the memories. Anyway, powerhouse in terms of staying power, especially given these are EDT's. Still very strong 8 hours later and sillage has been pretty present throughout the day. My 90's fragrance week just wouldn't have been complete without this. Oh and I'm very much looking forward to Gaultier Divine launching next month, my love for JPG perfumes has been reignited this past couple of years, so always keen to check out a newbie.

Name: Krono

Age: ???

Gender: Male

Orientation: Bisexual

Species: Kirby

Likes: spray-painting, being around his usual clique, pranks, fighting against the order, things from the '90s

Dislikes: A certain girl [Susie], Haktmann Industries, his claustrophobia, love (like Sonic, he doesn't handle romantic advances from others too well), being told what to do, and Momo (sometimes)

Abilities

Telekinesis

- Thanks to one of his other friend's training, he has fully mastered this ability to the point where the use of it comes naturally. With the power of his mind, he can do what other Psionics can usually do as well. He can grab and toss objects and people from afar, read one's innermost thoughts without them even knowing, teleport and even make himself levitate and fly about at speeds similar to a shooting star. He can even use it as a way to up his own physical capabilities to hit hard when it comes down to it.

PSI: Offense and Assist

[https://earthbound.fandom.com/wiki/PSI for reference]

- Within the great success of his training, Krono has also mastered the combative and supportive use of PSI (or PK), powers that are similar to magic in a way that only those that were affected by Giygas' influence were able to use. However, Krono cannot use these too much as just like in Earthbound; he has a finite amount of PP (or Psychic Points) he can use until he runs out. The PSI abilities that Krono has access to are as follows;

- PK Freeze [α, β, γ and Ω]

- PK Rockin (Graffiti) [α, β, γ and Ω]

- PK Flash [α, β]

- Brainshock [α for now]

- Defense down [α, Ω]

- Shield [α, Σ, β, Ω]

Fortunately, he doesn't seem to use these very often in combat unless he needs to, often relying on his psychokinesis to do the job when he's by himself. Using it too much in one go however will strain him to the point of weakness however.

Chronokinesis via his great grandfather's mystic stopwatch

- Upon use, it can stop, rewind, and speed up time temporarily. It can even be enhanced by Krono's telekinesis to greatly amp up how long the effects from it last. A sacred item passed down from his family's star warrior of a great grandfather to eventually reach Krono as its new bearer. Only Krono can use it as his family line has a genetic third-eye-like mark on their forehead that let them connect with the stopwatch in a tighter bond as if it's alive. If anyone else were to use it or try to break it, they'd be met with a painful chronokinetic-energy-induced shock that temporarily places those unfortunate in a state of comatose.

Backstory/Origin: From an alternate universe where Haltmann Industries was successful with the invasion and takeover of Planet Popstar via the kidnapping of its heroic pink puffball, Krono is a rebellious blue puffball that has access to mysterious powers upon his birth, thanks to his great grandfather and his time as a star warrior who made a wish to the stars to pass down his abilities from generation to generation upon his death, in which Krono himself is of the latest one to now carry them. Though he considers the natural responsibility of doing so a bother to his talent in his art, he nevertheless tries his best to uphold his grandfather's legacy and fight for what he thinks is right. His desire to end the chokehold Haltmann Industries has on his version of Planet Popstar has even earned him a couple of friends and camaraderie that share the same wish. Even after losing one of his first friends to the nefarious companies' traps, Krono's willpower never halted, it only grew stronger with each new encounter with the security force and the company's newest president after that fateful night. No matter the universe or enemy, no one can truly put an end to Krono's drive once he puts his mind to it.

StayInBed™: Instant Virility Boost for Men!

In the world of men’s health, virility is often associated with confidence, masculinity, and peak performance. However, various factors such as stress, aging, poor lifestyle choices, and even environmental factors can negatively impact sexual performance, leading to frustration and diminished self-esteem. This is where StayInBed™ Premium Virility Oil Spray comes into play—a revolutionary solution designed to help men regain control of their sexual health and performance naturally.

With a unique blend of powerful herbal extracts, StayInBed™ offers a convenient and fast-acting alternative to pills or invasive treatments. In this comprehensive article, we’ll delve into what makes StayInBed™ stand out, how it works, its benefits, ingredients, usage instructions, and why it's a top choice for men looking to enhance their virility.

Understanding StayInBed™ Premium Virility Oil Spray

StayInBed™ Premium Virility Oil Spray is a topical formula designed specifically for men to improve sexual performance, enhance stamina, and boost libido. Unlike traditional oral supplements that require prolonged use before yielding results, StayInBed™ works almost immediately. Its advanced transdermal delivery system allows the active ingredients to penetrate the skin, providing rapid absorption and immediate effects.

This product is ideal for men who desire a quick and effective boost in their bedroom performance without resorting to synthetic drugs that may cause side effects. Whether it’s occasional support or a long-term solution, StayInBed™ addresses the core of men’s sexual health issues in a natural, holistic manner.

Key Benefits of StayInBed™ Premium Virility Oil Spray

Instant Performance Boost

One of the primary benefits of StayInBed™ is its fast action. Since the spray is absorbed through the skin, its effects are felt almost instantly. Men can apply the spray shortly before sexual activity and experience enhanced performance without waiting weeks or months, as is common with pills or supplements.

Natural, Herbal Ingredients

StayInBed™ is formulated with a blend of premium herbal ingredients, each selected for its specific properties in improving male sexual health. This means no synthetic chemicals or harsh additives, reducing the risk of adverse effects. The natural formulation ensures that your body receives the nutrients and compounds it needs to function optimally.

Enhanced Sexual Stamina and Endurance

By improving blood flow to the penile area, StayInBed™ promotes stronger, firmer, and longer-lasting erections. This can significantly enhance stamina, allowing men to last longer during intimate moments and enjoy a more satisfying sexual experience.

Increased Sensitivity and Pleasure

Not only does StayInBed™ help with erection quality, but it also enhances sensitivity in the genital area, leading to more pleasurable sensations during intimacy. This heightened sensitivity can improve overall satisfaction for both partners.

Safe and Non-Invasive

Many men shy away from invasive treatments like injections or pharmaceutical medications due to potential side effects. StayInBed™ offers a non-invasive alternative that is applied topically, making it a safe and easy-to-use solution for men of all ages.

Boosts Confidence

Sexual performance is closely tied to confidence. For men who experience performance anxiety or issues with virility, StayInBed™ provides a reliable boost that can significantly improve self-esteem and overall well-being.

Supports Long-Term Sexual Health

While StayInBed™ provides immediate results, it also supports long-term sexual health with continued use. The herbal ingredients work to improve blood circulation, promote healthy tissue function, and enhance sexual vitality over time.

How StayInBed™ Works: The Science Behind the Formula

StayInBed™ Premium Virility Oil Spray employs a transdermal delivery system, meaning that the active ingredients penetrate the skin directly and are absorbed into the bloodstream. This method bypasses the digestive system, allowing for faster absorption and quicker results compared to oral supplements. Here’s how it works:

Improved Blood Flow

One of the critical aspects of sexual performance is healthy blood flow. StayInBed™ contains ingredients that dilate blood vessels, particularly in the penile area, ensuring better blood circulation. This promotes stronger, more sustainable erections.

Nitric Oxide Boost

Many of the ingredients in StayInBed™, such as L-Arginine, promote the production of nitric oxide, a compound that helps relax blood vessels and improve circulation. This increased blood flow to the genitals enhances erection strength and longevity.

Nutrient Absorption

By delivering essential nutrients directly through the skin, StayInBed™ ensures that the body receives the active compounds quickly and efficiently. This rapid nutrient delivery supports improved energy, stamina, and sexual performance.

Tissue Repair and Strengthening

The powerful herbal blend also works to repair and rejuvenate tissues in the genital area. Over time, regular use of StayInBed™ can lead to improved penile health, better sexual function, and a natural boost in virility.

Ingredient Breakdown: Nature’s Best for Male Virility

StayInBed™ Premium Virility Oil Spray is crafted from a blend of natural ingredients that have been used for centuries to support male sexual health. Here’s a closer look at the key ingredients and how they work:

Ashwagandha

A renowned adaptogen, ashwagandha helps reduce stress and anxiety—two factors that often contribute to performance issues. By promoting relaxation and reducing cortisol levels, ashwagandha helps men achieve better focus and endurance during intimate moments.

Maca Root

Maca is known for its ability to boost libido and increase sexual desire. It also helps balance hormone levels, providing long-term support for male reproductive health.

Ginseng

Often referred to as a natural aphrodisiac, ginseng is known to enhance energy levels and improve sexual stamina. Its ability to increase nitric oxide levels makes it a potent ingredient for improving erection quality.

L-Arginine

This amino acid is a key player in the production of nitric oxide, which is crucial for healthy blood flow. L-Arginine improves circulation to the penile area, resulting in stronger erections and better endurance.

Saffron

Saffron is a luxury ingredient with powerful aphrodisiac properties. It has been shown to enhance libido, improve mood, and help with mild erectile dysfunction by increasing blood flow.

Essential Oils

The addition of essential oils such as lavender and sandalwood not only creates a pleasant scent but also promotes relaxation, further helping men overcome performance anxiety. These oils also aid in enhancing blood flow to the genital area.

How to Use StayInBed™ Premium Virility Oil Spray

Using StayInBed™ is straightforward and discreet, making it convenient for men who want an easy, no-fuss solution. Here are the steps:

Clean and dry the genital area before application.

Shake the spray bottle well.

Spray a small amount of StayInBed™ directly onto the penile area.

Gently massage the oil into the skin until fully absorbed.

Wait a few minutes before engaging in sexual activity to allow the ingredients to take effect.

For long-term benefits, it’s recommended to use StayInBed™ regularly, even on days when sexual activity is not anticipated. This helps maintain the health benefits of the ingredients over time.

Why Choose StayInBed™?

Fast-Acting and Effective: Unlike oral supplements, StayInBed™ offers near-instant results, allowing men to experience improvements in sexual performance within minutes of application.

Natural and Safe: The herbal ingredients make it a safer alternative to pharmaceutical options, with no harmful side effects.

Discreet and Easy to Use: The small, portable spray bottle ensures that men can use it discreetly whenever they need it.

Long-Term Health Benefits: Regular use promotes overall male sexual health, making it more than just a short-term fix.

BOTTOM LINE

Must-have Grooming Tools for Professional Barbers

Hair styling, hair care, and beard care have become very popular with the new-age male. Proper grooming is not restricted only to the ladies. Hair care and beard care have become a necessity for the fashion-conscious man of today. New haircuts and beard-trimming styles are a hit with men of all ages. Looking at the need for professional services, salons that offer good grooming services and the best haircuts have come up in a big way. It goes without saying that the market for must-have grooming tools is extending its reach to barbers who are professionally involved. The grooming equipment market now also caters to those who give preference to personal grooming and trimming, besides their routine visits to the salon.

Clippers, trimmers, shears, and more barber equipment are widely available today. They are designed and made with individual hair and beard types in mind. Some products are best suited to handle fine, smooth hair. Other equipment is more heavy-duty and can be used for unmanageable, rough hair.

Let’s take a look at the various professional grooming tools and their types and uses.

Scissors and shears

Scissors and shears are the tools most handled by a barber. They are ideal for giving haircuts for both long and short hair. Shears are also used to layer and thin out hair. Standard shears come equipped with sharp blades that can cut hair and give shape and structure to unruly hair.

Thinning shears, on the other hand, are used to give layers and thin out excess hair. They are also useful, especially when clearing split ends. The teeth on one blade are designed to do this effectively without affecting the length of the hair.

Trimmers and Clippers

Following close behind shears, the other necessary barber tools are trimmers and clippers. New hairstyles that feature sharp angles, smooth edges, and patterns require the use of the above. Professional grooming clippers, along with trimmers, are designed exclusively to do all of the detailing and texturing. They come in corded and cordless varieties. They are specially used to give tiny intricate details to the haircut and give a smooth and precise result to any hairstyle.

Combs and Brushes

Brushes and combs are vital to holding hair in place while using shears. They help to detangle hair and aid in blow drying and blending hair during the cutting process. There are different brushes and combs available to help you with the hairstyling process.

Razors and shavers that are designed to give clean-cut shaves are also part of the barber supply equipment. Unlike earlier, razors now come with safety features that allow the barber to hold the razor at easy angles. This helps to avoid accidental nicks or cuts. The blades are replaceable and are easy on the pocket.

Shavers are usually used to trim and shave hair from the neckline and behind the ear. Single foil shavers are tools that are a favorite with professional barbers.

Styling Products

Besides grooming tools, salons also stock up on styling products. Hair sprays to help hold the finished hairstyle in place and enhance the shine on the hair are popular.

Gels are used for spiky-styled haircuts. They hold the finished style in place. Some gels hold on to the shape and style while giving it a flexible look.

Beard balms, oils, and moisturizing creams are formulated with essential oils and vitamins. They help to soften the facial hair and decrease skin irritation.

These products are applied to the hair and beard to give a sleek, well-set finish to the hair. These products come with specific properties to suit individual hair types.

Hygiene Products

Stocking up on UV sterilizers and disinfectants to clean tools and one-time-use neck straps are equally important. Aprons and towels for the assistants and the client’s use are also products that can’t be missed out.

With the market for barber products booming, it has become easy to go online and check out a large range of barber shop supplies. At Certified Clippers, you can browse through a complete inventory of different brands. You can check out the specific product details, their pricing, and how they work, and you can opt for the product that is suitable for varied clientele or personal use.

Hair Styling Product Formulations Market - Key Industry Dynamics, Analysis and Key Industry Dynamics

The Hair Styling Product Formulations Market is projected to grow from USD 8,810 million in 2024 to USD 13,115.89 million by 2032, at a CAGR of 5.10% over the forecast period.

Creating effective hair styling products requires a careful balance of ingredients tailored to meet specific hair needs and achieve desired styling effects. Typically, hair gels and creams contain water as a base for easy application, combined with polymers like polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) or acrylates, which provide hold by forming a film around the hair strands. Humectants such as glycerin or propylene glycol are often included to retain moisture, while emollients like silicones or natural oils (such as argan or coconut oil) add shine, smoothness, and flexibility. Thickeners such as carbomers are used to achieve the right consistency, ensuring the product applies evenly. To stabilize the formulation, preservatives like phenoxyethanol or parabens are used to prevent microbial growth. Some formulations may also contain UV filters to protect hair from sun damage, and essential oils or synthetic fragrances for a pleasant scent. Balancing these components results in a product that provides hold, moisture, and style control without weighing down the hair or leaving a sticky residue.

Here are key market dynamics for hair styling product formulations:

Advancements in Polymer Technology: Newer polymers are being developed to enhance hold and style retention while reducing stiffness and buildup on hair, improving the user experience and product performance.

Focus on Gender-Specific and Customized Products: The market is seeing a rise in gender-specific formulations and personalized hair care solutions, tailored to unique hair types, textures, and styling preferences.

Increased Demand for Heat Protection and UV Filters: With the widespread use of heat styling tools and concerns over sun damage, there is a rising demand for formulations that offer thermal and UV protection, prompting brands to incorporate these features into styling products.

Influence of Social Media and Beauty Trends: Trends driven by social media and influencer marketing are significantly impacting consumer preferences, leading to rapid shifts in the types of styling products in demand, such as texturizing sprays, curl creams, and matte-finish products.

Growth in Male Grooming Segment: The men’s grooming market is expanding, with a growing number of male consumers seeking hair styling products, leading to a rise in products specifically formulated for male hair care needs.

Expansion in Emerging Markets: As disposable income and urbanization increase in regions such as Asia-Pacific and Latin America, there is a growing demand for hair styling products, spurring market growth in these areas.

Could you give an example of them not making the Dislyte characters sexy but attractive?

So, firstly it's not a problem that they do this. Not every character needs to scream sex appeal, or look like they're DTF. But sometimes I feel like they could have done more.

Off the top of my head, I couldn't give examples as I haven't played in a while. But here's some examples I found.

Bai Liuli:

She looks bad ass, amazing. She's attractive as heck! But while her shirt looks like it's a fishnet or stocking design that could have shown off a bit of skin, but they chose not to do that. It's beautiful, powerful design, but not as sexy as it really could have been.

Meredith:

Another wonderful design, it looks like she's going more for the simple country design, maybe even going hippy. But she's got no skin showing, no real attempts at being sexy. It's good, but it kind of feels too wholesome to me. And I don't know how they got this from the monstrous Scylla from Greek myth. Maybe I need to look into Scylla's origins some more.

Gabrielle:

Njord's Esper, she looks like a body builder. No other real comment. She looks good, love how buff she is, but the outfit was probably designed simply to make her look like an Olympic athlete more than any kind of sex appeal. It looks good, but I wouldn't call it a sexy outfit. Again, looks really good and fitting for her though.

Bonnie:

Esper for Eris, goddess of discord. She has a really simple, puffy jacket and dark shorts combo going on with an awesome face mask that looks like it's strangely invoking an oni design over a Greek one. I do have issues here, it doesn't look chaotic, she doesn't have a chaos feel to me with this look. I mean, it invokes the idea of like a street gang character that does breakdancing, or maybe sprays graffiti. It looks good, I don't think it fits the myth, and it's not intended to be sexy.

For Bonnie, Bai Liuli and Meredith all feel like a bit more sex appeal in the design would have gone a long way to enhancing them. I know this is probably a bit unpopular, but I hope I've explained my stance well enough.

Also the male characters are only sexualized really if they are super ripped. The femboys are focused towards cuter than they are sexy. Not a really bad thing, but a thing nonetheless.

Also, I warned you guys it was an unpopular opinion. But you literally asked for it.
