Alien-species Stories

Tommy stood there, frozen, as he could barely comprehend the cruelty that stood before his eyes. Cages. Large and tiny cages, each filled with exotic creatures clawing at their constraints. With the way some of their eyes were looking at him he knew he didn't stumble upon a simple pet fare. He knew a couple were rarer animals from remote planets, but those guys couldn't fool him. At least half of them had to be sentient. After standing rooted to the ground for too long, the shopkeeper's eyes quickly found him as well. The man mouthed a word and the person in the hood turned in his direction, bright green eyes flaring out of an infinite darkness. The shadows were curling closer around his throat. Before he could even comprehend what was happening he was yanked backwards by his arm. He only got a glimpse of the weapon behind him before he registered Tubbo's voice: "Tommy, Run!" aka a dreamsmp space and superhero au with lots of fluff and angst

A Saga Of The Soma Assimilation "Let the land-dwellers keep their castles. Every drop of water on this planet will eventually run to us-and so will their strength." The Betrayal Ksenia "Ksyusha" Sokolov was no stranger to the freezing, unforgiving depths of the Pacific. As a hardened search-and-rescue diver from Vladivostok, Russia, she survived where others perished. That lifetime of grit came to a sudden, watery end during a deep-sea salvage operation, cut short by a cold-blooded betrayal. Left to drown by a corrupt supervisor who coveted their recovered prize, she gasped her last breath of oxygen in the pitch-black abyss. The Rebirth But death was only a transition to a strange new existence. Ksenia awakens in a foreign, fantasy realm, stripped of her humanity and reborn as Kseniya, a Bog-Siren. In a harsh world entirely devoid of humans-populated only by proud elven kingdoms, magical fairies, and powerful shifter clans-Bog-Sirens are despised as weak, swamp-dwelling pests, ruthlessly hunted for their iridescent scales. The Power of Soma Assimilation Though the dominant factions of this world view her kind as mere prey, they remain entirely ignorant of the lethal advantages Kseniya brought with her from her past life. Along with a relentless, cold-blooded survival instinct, she possesses a unique and terrifying power known as Soma Assimilation. Unlike the beasts of the land, Kseniya does not need to eat to grow strong, for her power lies in what she can drink. By consuming the blood of slain beasts, elves, and monsters, she permanently absorbs their physical traits, magic, and unique skills. She can also drink from highly concentrated magical water sources to grant herself primal elemental resistances and fluid manipulation. Even the deadliest toxins and venoms pose no threat; by drinking them, her body synthesizes the poisons, granting her complete immunity while allowing her to secrete those very same lethal liquids from her own fangs and claws.
