Zhuyuan Stories

[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.

In a parallel universe, Earth has endured a century of devastation known as the Hollow Disaster, a catastrophe that unleashed ethereal monsters created by a mysterious organization known as Hundred. In these desperate times, New Eridu stands as one of humanity's last bastions of survival. From the shadows, a mysterious man named Wise appears. Armed with the Legendriver and Legend Rider Chemy Cards, he transforms into Kamen Rider Legend, harnessing the powers of legendary Kamen Riders from parallel universes to protect the people of New Eridu from any threat. But as Wise battles to defend the city, dark secrets from his past begin to surface. Will he rise as New Eridu's savior, or will his hidden truths bring about its downfall?

Zane was just a kid who went to school while his brother and sister worked at a "video store" until one day he was trapped into a Hollow. About to get attacked by an Ethereal a fist stopped it and punched its core. This was starting to get Bizarre.

Years ago, a young man named Magnus came to live with his Uncle Enzo in a modern post-apocalypse city after what happened with the old capital. With the threat of hollows and Ethereals right on your doorstep, the desire of venturing into the hollows, hunting Ethereals and helping others was what he wanted the most. However due to his condition, Hypersensitive to Ether, he couldn't enter those zones without turn into an ethereal in less than ten seconds. However, with his intelligence, Enzo's mechanical skills and the blueprints left to him by someone important from his past, they created a system of armor that completely filtered out the ether and even give the wearer extraordinary abilities. Because of Magnus's desire to help, was decided to named it 'Desire Driver'. Everyone now knows him as New Eridu's hero, Hollow Rider Tycoon or... The Hollow Rider of New Eridu. 1°- Kamenrider (08/12/25) ((Note - I am not the owner of Kamen Rider, Zenless Zone Zero or any of the characters, the entire credit goes to the original creators.))

Un One-shot que se me ocurrió de la nada, además de ser el primero que escribiré, y probablemente el único XD. Este One-Shot será como un futúro alterno de mi historia de KJ, así que estará igual de fumado que esa historia, pero con la diferencia de que este One-Shot será más "serio" que la historia original, eso namás XD

[Fairy]: "There was an idea... An idea to face the chaos, to uncover the unknown, to balance the scales of survival and ambition. In the aftermath of the Hollows' emergence-those spatial anomalies that swallowed cities and birthed the ethereal monstrosities-humanity's existence teetered on the edge. New Eridu became the last bastion of civilization, thriving on the paradox of exploiting the very Hollows that threatened to consume it. Factions arose, each with their own ideals, goals, and methods. From the defenders of Section 6 to the opportunists of Belobog Heavy Industries, and the silent hands of Victoria Housekeeping to the enforcers of the CISRT, humanity splintered into groups, unified only by their struggle against the Hollows. But the cost of survival was high, and not all threats could be met with force alone. Beneath the surface of New Eridu's bustling streets and towering spires, secrets festered. The Hollows grew darker, their origins more cryptic. Ethereal phenomena began to defy even the brightest minds, and whispers of corruption began to spread. So what if an idea becomes a reality? An idea to assemble seven individuals unlike any other, these seven who risk their lives and identities to uphold an idea-an idea that could mean the salvation or destruction of their city. This is VII." DISCLAIMER: ZZZ doesn't belong to me. I only own my OC.

War... war never changes. As interdimensional anomalies causes Spacial Quakes all around the planet, nations change, formalities shift, and enemies grow. Scorpion: It's f****** hell! For a single team of nine contract killers once nobodies, it's enough to throw a single city and its satellite municipalities into turmoil. For the first time, the X-File events that rattled GM_SuperCity's Garrysville will finally be told as it gives way to an amazing crossover that nobody expected but everybody needed. Using forensic analysis, set reconstruction, CGI modeling, crossover research, and key plot points, key features, and scenarios, two worlds, one team, eighteen mercenaries, Hoyoverse characters, one city, a number of satellite municipalities... The First Great Hollow War revealed. (Sponsored and funded by TF Industries)

In new eridu, there is another city where a group of mechanics and inventors go and live..it's a steampunk like place named"clockwork isle"

Wise: "I am just worried that the Cunning Hares can do this..." Belle: "Come on Wise, I am sure they can." Wise: "But-." Belle: "Come on, believe in them." Wise: "I just have a bad feeling, that's all." [This story will be very slow on updates.] [Zenless Zone Zero content and characters all belong to hoyoverse.]

The owners of Random Play wanted to celebrate the occasion with the famous PubSec officer in town.

New Eridu is a miracle in an age of Hollow disasters, and should be everyone's only choice!

The story's gotten... let's say "a little layered." Some readers call it complicated, I call it "robust character development with extra sauce." And since I'm already plotting a sequel (yes, sequel, not prequel... unless I change my mind and reboot everything in serialized chaos), it felt only fair to make a companion guide. Think of it like this: even Star Wars had maps, and Lord of the Rings had appendices thicker than a brick. If those epics needed cheat sheets, then obviously this one does too-especially for the lore-challenged who keep asking, "Wait, what?" Don't worry, this field manual is rookie-friendly. Oh, and blame my beta reader. They've been poking me for months to "make it official." So here it is: the sanctioned handbook. If you're planning a reread, crack this open first-it might just save you from lore-related headaches (or at least give you a good laugh).

When the nobody suddenly gets thrust into the world of Hollows, Supernaturals, and many more. He decides to become a hunter for hire along with rag tag group of people he met on the way. Watch as he navigate through the world while taking a mantle of a Legendary Dark Knight. I do not own any franchise. All of it belong to respective creators.

New Eridu is the last surviving city after contemporary civilization was destroyed by the Hollows. New Eridu managed to survive and thrive after the apocalypse by acquiring the technology to be able to extract resources out of the Hollows. Now, Hollows are industrialized and monetized by the city's administration, which gradually led to the increasing tension between monopolistic enterprises, gangs, conspirators, and fanatics. (Yes, I copy-paste it from the wiki.) The Criminal Investigation Special Response Team is a division of PubSec operating out of the Janus Quarter (namely, in its Lumina Square branch). They are tasked with the investigation of criminal activity, performing raids and in-Hollow operations. A new member recently joined the infamous CISRT, abruptly so sudden. His past was a mystery. Officer Y/N L/N, code name RED, has been working marvelously for past few months. Yet, secrets were well present surrounding him. And what's up with this strange looking beetle that's been flying around him?
