"Owlbears are some of the most ferocious creatures ever seen in the Forgotten Realms. Anything or anyone unlucky to come across them is liable to be torn apart by these territorial, oversized and aggressively temperamental monstrosities. Avoid at all costs. An area frequented by Owlbear activity should be evacuated of all civilians until hunters can be summoned who are strong, brave, and foolish enough to attempt to take on such a beast. Equal efforts should also be attempted to placate or discover the reasoning behind any rampages; most often they are due to infringement on the Owlbear's claimed territory. Further information or study done of this species, or their lesser known and much larger offshoot, known as Royal Owlbears, is limited due to the high mortality rate of researchers, scholars and wilderness enthusiasts, caused by these creatures in their natural habitat. Under no circumstances should any underqualified person approach or intentionally draw near an Owlbear, lest they rouse their wrath. Their species possesses long memories and have been known to carry grudges, often enacting them with brutal consequences and massive collateral damage. They are most dangerous during the time of Blood Heat, when these already violent and bloodthirsty animals reach new heights of savagery. Caution is strongly advised." ~Page 406 of the Bestiary Compendium, by Monster Manuelle. *Owlbears are the property of Wizards of the Coast, Dungeons and Dragons, and all artwork belongs to their creators.

[Includes suggestive and explicit themes!] ⚡Apartment 13, second floor, the one with a broken heater and that happens to be jammed between two of the most unbearable neighbors. This is where you and your part chronically-online freak, part gamer girl, part gooner friend live together. Things get a little weird when she becomes an OnlyFans model, and not just any typical one, but a popular one.

[Reader Discretion] This is a layered narrative: a K-Drama slow burn × Fullmetal Alchemist × John le Carré blend. Expect slow-build romance, science-mystic body horror, and espionage intrigue. If you prefer light or straightforward plots, this may not be your style. This story is an AU fanfic, please enjoy it for what it is. In the contemporary civilization; City of New Eridu, Officer Zhu Yuan of the New Eridu Public Security (N.E.P.S.) leads her team through a high-stakes investigation, tackling a series of strange incidents connected to a long-forgotten cold case. Unexpectedly, she teams up with Elias, a mysterious and resourceful investigator, as they unravel dangerous secrets buried deep in the city's shadows, while navigating the chaos of a world plagued by Hollows. IMPORTANT: Just to clear the air-this is not a Zhu Yuan x Wise/Phaethon ship. Don't get me wrong, I adore their dynamic too, but harem vibes? Yeah, that just kills the mood for me. Instead, I created an OC for Zhu: Elias, an agent who matches her energy, aspirations, and ideals. Think of this story as one of the movies in Random Play-same antagonist, but with an extra twist or two. If that's not your cup of tea, I totally respect your preference! Just... maybe keep the cannons pointed elsewhere, okay? Thanks! Let's just say this is from another parallel/alternate universe. :) ---------------------- WRITER NOTES: This story doesn't contain NSFW. ---------------------- Disclaimer: This fanfiction is based on Zenless Zone Zero by HoYoverse.

Nathan, a 26 years old researcher settled in a solitary lodge inside of a mountain. The lodge was provided by the Institute that he works under, and he was solely selected to be the one living in said lodge. His job is to uncover more about Pokemon regarding their habitats, stats, movesets and their wild nature. For Nate who favors being isolated from his colleagues, he finds his work to be a blessing in disguise.
