That Time You Got Yeeted Into Another World, Mistaken as a God-Sent Gift, and Used as a Prize in an Arena

Yandere Bear-Man Dilf x Gender Neutral Reader

CW: Noncon, framed for a crime, language barrier, eaten out like it's groceries, biting, scent marking, musk, combat, general yandere behavior

Word Count: 765

(Speed written out of nowhere because I had the idea suddenly, not beta read so please forgive any mistakes. I hope you guys like this ficlet. Also forgive the title, in a game I was playing there was a crossover with "That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime" and I liked the vibe of the title.)

You were framed for a crime you didn't commit and in your village the punishment for that crime was immediate exile via being shoved down a steep crater in the center of which is a one-way portal to what is thought to be Hell.

What no one on your side of the portal knew was that on the other side was just another world. A world that celebrated with a great holiday anytime a human came through the portal. It was also a world populated entirely, with the exception of humans who crossed over, by human-like beast hybrids.

Driders, lion hybrids, nagas, aqrabuamelu (scorpion-men), harpies, dog people, centaurs, minotaurs, gnolls, and many other races that seemed to be part human. 

They have a connecting portal in their universe, but any who try to go into it are spat back out. The current went only in one direction.

Every few years, a human would be flung forth from the portal, a gift from the gods! But only the worthy can keep such a gift. So whenever a human comes to the realm from the watcher of the portal will ring the bells and all the warriors assemble and a grand tournament is held at the arena. Whoever wins gets to keep the human and gains enough wealth to care for them properly.

Things are no different when you arrive, you are immediately ushered away, examined, and pampered like a prize doll with no agency. Despite your objections. It seems like only the keeper of the portal has any rudimentary undestanding of your language, not that it helped you. He didn't explain much and his speech wasn't that great. Something about... a big game?

You were naturally frightened beyond all reason, seeing all these beast-men, but it didn't seem like you were being harmed. It really wasn't what you thought hell was going to be like. 

On the day of the big tournament, you were dressed in the finest silks, given a tiny crown of silver, and taken to the best seat in the arena. One where everyone could see you. A cushioned throne was provided for you to sit upon. You figured that this must be a ceremony to welcome people from the portal.

You watched as all the combatants sparred. At first you were horrified, but it became evident that people could yield and death was, almost always, avoided. There were combatants of every variety. 

Even from the start the best seemed to be a naga woman named Eeris and a bear-man named Brakwen. As they advanced through the fights they both finally made it to the finals where they'd clash. Eeris favored twin daggers and fangs while Brakwen used claws and brute strength. He had a sword but had not resorted to using it. 

It was a mighty battle but Brakwen the bear-man managed to win. You still did not yet realize you were the prize. Not until you were escorted down to him and were carried bridal style out of the arena with the crowd cheering. Brakwen had won the god's favor!

From close up he looked even more imposing. He seemed to be in his late 30s to early 40s. He mostly looked like a hairy man from far away though up close his massive size, sharp teeth, claws, thick fur covering his arms and quite frankly adorable bear ears, gave him away. He was rugged but admittedly rather handsome. You knew there was nothing you could do so you let him carry you away. 

Despite the language barrier, Brakwen did his best to please his god-given prize. He could tell you feared him. Especially since you tried to run off a few times. But Brakwen didn't get angry. You never even managed to get past the door. Even if you did there were two gates outside the house. You were far too valuable to let wander off. 

Eventually when you had stopped running off, and when his rut demanded he wait no longer, he began acting a bot more aggressove and sexual towards you. 

Though you tried to stop him it ended with him stretching out your hole with his powerful tongue, lubing you up with his copious amounts of drool, and sliding into you with his massive musky cock.

That's what your life was now. Being treated like a fragile precious gem most of the time and then for one week out of every month you were fucked full of hot bear cum in every possible position, bitten possessively, and scent marked by being forced to wear his oversized clothing.

8: ZODIAC CONSTELLATIONS The ancient Greek Zodiakos, or Zodiac, is a division of the celestial sphere into twelve equal parts; each one containing a specific group of stars with a mythic association called a constellation. Ancient Greeks used the constellations for sailing navigation, time keeping for seasonal agricultural practices like planting and harvesting crops, mythic storytelling purposes, and astrology practices. Hellenistic Astrology, taking influence from the Babylonians and Egyptians, sought meaning in the zodiac signs and how they influenced a person’s character based on the position of the sun when they were born. They also used this practice for divination, providing guidance and predictions for the future. Let’s take a look at the twelve Zodiac constellations and their mythic tales. 1.) Aries (March 21-April 19) represents the flying golden ram sent by the gods to save the royal children Phrixus and Helle from sacrifice, and whose fleece later becomes the quested prize for the Argonauts. 2.) Taurus (April 20-May 20) represents the bull which Zeus transformed into to seduce Europa, and is linked to the Cretan Bull and the myth of the Minotaur. 3.) Gemini (May 21-June 21) represents the twins Castor and Pollux, sons of Zeus and Leda, known for their inseparable bond and heroic deeds. 4.) Cancer (June 22- July 22) represents the crab sent by Hera to distract Hercules during his battle with the Hydra, later placed in the sky by Hera as a constellation. 5.) Leo (July 23- Aug. 22) represents the lion, representing strength and kingship, associated with the Nemean Lion defeated by Hercules. 6.) Virgo (Aug 23- Sept 22) represents the maiden, often linked to the goddess of agriculture and fertility, such as Demeter or Persephone. 7.) Libra (Sept 23- Oct 23) represents goddess of justice Astraea, daughter of Themis, who carries the scales of justice. 8.) Scorpio (Oct 24- Nov 21) represents the scorpion sent by Artemis or Gaia to kill Orion 9.) Sagittarius (Nov 22- Dec 21) represents the centaur archer, often identified as the wise and skilled Chiron. 10.) Capricorn (Dec 22- Jan 19) represents the sea goat Aegipan, who aided Zeus in his fight against Typhon. 11.) Aquarius (Jan 20- Feb 18) represents the cupbearer of the gods, Ganymede, who was abducted by Zeus and placed among the stars. 12.) Pisces (Feb 19- March 20) represents the two fish, Aphrodite and Eros, who transformed to escape the monster Typhon.

hey, can you do a circles of hell post like the heaven one?

The Nine Circles of Hell 😈🔥

Dante Alighieri’s The Divine Comedy is divided into 3 parts: Inferno, Purgatorio and Paradiso. The Inferno presents us with the popular concept of Nine Circles of Hell.

Ante-Inferno

Think of this as the Ground Lobby for Hell.

The Gates of Hell have this inscription: "Lasciate ogne speranza, voi ch’intrate" (Abadon all hope, ye who enter here)

Souls who couldn't choose between good and evil reside here, tortued and chased by hornets and snakes. (Seems like indecision is also a sin, haha)

There are angels here as well who chose to be on the side of neither good and evil, and they're also tormented.

After crossing the river on the boundary for hell with Charon, you meet the first level of hell:

First Circle: Limbo

The first circle is home to the unbaptized and virtuous pagans, who simply didn't know that Christ exist.

These souls have lived morally, but failed to accept Christiantiy as a religion

No physical torture, but waves of sadness flow through the souls, lamenting the fact that they're close to Heaven but aren't in it.

Retirement community of the afterlife: Hippocrates, Aristotle, Virgil, Homer, Horace, Ovid, Socrates, Plato, Saladin

Second Circle: Lust

The wind-buffeted second circle of Hell is the final destination of the lustful and adulterous.

Souls are blown about in a violent storm, without hope of rest. They are torn in a raging storm and thrown against rocks.

Cleopatra and Helen of Troy were among its most famous residents. Francesca da Rimini and her lover Paolo.

Third Circle: Gluttony

Those who overindulge themselves are forced to lie in vile, freezing slush, guarded by Ceberus

Unable to move, they lay on the ground forever while being hurled with sweage and dirt.

Ciacco of Florence is here.

Fourth Circle: Avarice & Prodigality

This section of Hell is reserved for the money-grubbers and overly materialistic among us. Those who hoarded money come here.

The greedy battle each other, forever rolling giant boulders on each other. When they push the heavy weights, it rolls back and the process starts all over again.

Plutus guards them.

Fifth Circle: Wrath & Sulllenness

Dante tells us that the wrathful and angry souls of this circle spend eternity waging battle with each other on the banks of River of Styx.

The sullen are forced to breath below the dark waters, chocking on the black mud derived from the world above.

Fillippo Argenti is here.

───〃★ Door to Lower Hell: gate guarded by fallen angels ★〃───

Sixth Circle: Heresy

Heretics spend eternity entombed in flaming crypts in the sixth circle. Think of a graveyard with burning tombstones.

Heresy is the sin of having beliefs opposed to the Christian belief, which can be a little vague in modern times.

Florentines Farinata degil Uberti and Cavalcante de' Cavalvanti are here.

Seventh Circle: Violence

The Seventh Circle is sub-categorized into 3 smaller rings: Oter, Middle and Inner.

The outer ring is filled with blood and fire and reserved for murderers and thugs. Centaurs guard the Outer Ring, shooting criminals with arrows.

The middle ring is where, according to Dante, suicide victims go. They’re transformed into trees and fed upon by harpies.

The inner ring, a place of burning sand, is reserved for those who are violent against God and nature (blasphemers)

Eighth Circle: Fraud

Geryon, a creature symbolizing fraud, welcomes you to the eighth circle. He has a human face, a scorpion tail and giant wings.

The eighth circle is subdivided into ten trenches, where you’ll find con artists of all sorts. These trenches are called Malebolge (Evil pockets) and each contains different types of criminals who commited fraud.

Panderes and seducers, flatterers, sorcerers, false prophets, liars, thieves, people who created false money, counterfeits, impersonators, schismatics, etc. reside here.

Ninth Circle: Treachery

The final circle is a frozen wasteland occupied by history’s greatest traitors. Betrayers of are frozen in a lake of ice, and most of Satan's body is also immersed in ice.

It is divided into 4 stages: (1) Caina - traitors to family (2) Antenora - traitors to nation or politicians (3) Ptolomaea - hosts to betray theiur guests (4) Judecca - those to betray their lords/masters.

In the very center, Satan punishes the greatest betrayers of all time: Judas Iscariot, who betrayed Christ, and Brutus and Cassius who betrayed Julius Caesar.

Satan has three mouths, each of which eats a specific person: with left and right devouring Brutus and Cassius and the centre mouth devouring Judas.

And those are just a few of my favorite animals

[roachliquid]

I love the part where Laios starts talking about chimerical (animal mashup) creatures. Because he is absolutely right. Animals have so many good qualities, and one of the easiest (and silliest) ways to have fun with them is to take two or more regular animals and combine them into A Monster(TM).

Don't get me wrong, there's no One True Approach when it comes to monster design. But I generally prefer the ones that play around with existing lifeforms. Turning an animal or plant into a proper monster is a great opportunity to highlight its existing features, or to explore what might happen if it faced and had to adapt to different evolutionary pressures. A well-designed monster is a love letter to its inspirations, showcasing both the power and uniqueness of creatures that we might normally take for granted.

To that end, I like any kind of monster that takes brazen inspiration from nature. The more obvious the better! Subnautica, a game that I keep playing despite suffering from moderate to severe thalassophobia, is a great example. It takes place on an alien world, and there are plenty of animals with purely bizarre and whimsical traits, but every so often I see something - some small detail in their design or behavior - that I recognize. In that moment, I'm taken to a place of both familiarity and discovery, where I remember that the beauty of nature is not only breathtaking, but a constant. As long as there is life, there will be new and wonderful creatures, and chances are very good some of those creatures will resemble manatees.

But when monsters get even more obvious than that, putting together body parts from different animals, I don't just get to admire nature. I get to admire those specific animals, and particularly those specific features, while experiencing the transformative power of having them Frankensteined together in ways that are unnatural yet functional. A figurative chimera is a powerful product of creation, a discordant harmony made from the bones of old chords, a transmutation of the safe and familiar into something new, and absurd, and yet thriving.

Not everything that lives has to make sense ex nihilo, springing fully formed and coherent from the force of evolutionary pressure. Sometimes we fail to find ourselves anywhere in our environment, and we have to craft ourselves piece by piece into something that's never been seen before. Sometimes people have scars and parts that don't fit, and some of us were made under Frankenstein's knife, but all of us are alive and here and if we don't embrace the absurd, who will? If we can't say "Actually, I think the ancients were on to something when they made a winged centaur with a scorpion tail", where else are we supposed to find joy? In the meticulous and flawless?

And I mean, above and beyond all that, sometimes creatures made out of disparate animal parts look really cool.

[thelunarfairy]

Do you have any theories about this?

Because I find It really interesting especially the twin star part

I remember creating several hypotheses when I read this chapter for the first time. We know it's a section marked by metaphors between the twins and the first thing that came to my mind was that Tsukasa would be the brightest star, but I stopped to think a little.

There are two interpretations that I like to consider in relation to this moment (there must be many others, but these two are the most relevant for me)

There are two moments surrounding the twins, the moment when they were alive and the posthumous moment. When they were alive, Tsukasa apparently stood out compared to his brother. The information we have indicates that he had several friends and seemed to be a reasonably pleasant person to be around.

In the PP arc, we see a fake world, that is, it was reflecting the desire of Hanako and Mitsuba, since they are the "main characters" We see here that Mitsuba has many friends, just like Amane has a good relationship even with Akane, something that Yashiro finds strange.

It means that in Amane's ideal world he would have friends, and we see at a certain point that when Tsukasa offers to help, his colleagues reject him and want Amane. That's not what happens in real life.

So let's assume that when they were alive, Tsukasa was the twin who attracted attention and Amane was the brother who didn't stand out.

However, when we talk about posthumous moments, we discover that almost no one knows about Tsukasa's existence, even Teru. I always found this very interesting. Hanako is the ghost boy who has a title, he is the leader of the 7 mysteries and everyone knows him, even if they don't like him, some have lived with him, others have heard of him.

The rumors about him reached Nene, Kou also knew. So in the afterlife Hanako became the one who attracts attention.

So you ask me, ok, but how is this related to the stars?

Hanako is referred to as a supernatural, so he perhaps represented 'Antares A', the one everyone sees, while 'Antares B' represents Tsukasa, who many don't know about. There isn't much information available about him, and he only appears under certain circumstances.

Hanako and Tsukasa are parallel, they both grant wishes but only Hanako is known. Even though Tsukasa is spreading rumors at school, people don't mention his name as a possibility of being responsible for the events, it's strangely mysterious to me how this is possible because Tsukasa attracts attention for being so unpredictable but no one is talking about him.

It's always Hanako who takes the blame, if Teru knew it was Tsukasa from the beginning he would definitely have gone and beaten Tsukasa (or tried to) he only mentions Tsukasa when talking about the red house.

Maybe he knows about Tsukasa's existence, but doesn't talk about him.

So in short, in life apparently Tsukasa stood out, in the afterlife it was Amane.

But let's get into another interpretation besides this one about one twin overshadowing the other.

We know that the twins were born in November, November 25, which means they are Sagittarius. You may remember that the Yugi twins are also associated with the constellation Scorpio and its brightest star, Antares.

Hanako talks about it

We have something very interesting about this, in UA Night on the Galactic Railway, Tsukasa is represented as the Scorpio constellation itself.

You can see he has a scorpion's tail and a red flame representing the red giant, Antares. Hanako doesn't have that.

Okay, but what's interesting about that?

Have you ever seen how the constellations are positioned in the night sky?

(Image translation: Escorpião = Scorpio, centauro = centaur)

Sagittarius is hunting Scorpio

You can already imagine what point I'm trying to get to, right?

Tsukasa represents the scorpion, which is being hunted.

Another interesting point is the story of the legend of Sargittarius. Look:

"The myth of the sign of Sagittarius is Chiron, a centaur (figure half man and half horse) who lived in the middle of the forest with his tribe, being for them a kind of king. He was known for being very intelligent, having great knowledge about human behavior and also about nature. As a weakness he had a wild and non-rational aspect. He was the wisest in the forest when it came to creating natural remedies and healing potions for any type of wound or injury they found. However, one day Chiron was injured by a poisoned arrow, but instead of dying, because of his wisdom, he received the gift of immortality from the Greek gods. He did not die but lived wounded for eternity, needing to learn to deal with this pain. In this way, he represents someone who is wise, has knowledge, but still needs to live with pain. Despite knowing how to heal others, he is not able to do the same for himself, and even so he needed to learn to remain positive and have good energy."

Source: Google

Does this remind you of anyone specific?

Maybe Aidairo wanted to represent them through signs, or represent that one stands out more than the other

These metaphors that Aidairo put in the story are very interesting, they open up several interpretations, you can choose which one you find most believable.

time for another AU idea!

Of Tides and Dreams

It takes place in the Subconscapes, where the people who were frozen in time reside. the Subconscapes are. practically fantasy backrooms and the Subcon Sadnesses are the entities. but there's also Figments, based on people who aren't frozen in time.

It stars Nille, Yvon (an OC), Euphrasie, one of the frozen Housemaidens (idk which one yet), and a Figment named Hellion (based on Bonnie)

Figments:

Cheerful - the Siffrin Figment. looks like Siffrin but his mouth is stitched to always be a smile. He's an absolute jokester and they sometimes speak in grayscale GIFs Wilting - the Mirabelle Figment. her face is covered with vines, except for her left eye. a carnivorous plant is visible above her head. She speaks kinda like the Change God but speaks in ⚠️ instead of kaomojis Thread - the Isabeau Figment. he has no face, instead having a large hole instead. one of the nicer and even smarter Figments, but his appearance is very unnerving. Shattered - the Odile Figment. kinda like Isabeau, but instead of a hole, her face is entirely shattered off except for two glowing eyes and glasses. probably the scariest Figment. She's cold and emotionless, and doesn't really talk much. Hellion - the Bonnie Figment. they look just like Bonnie but their bottom half is that of a scorpion, like a scorpion centaur. they're much unlike the other figments, as they act just like Bonnie. The Gentleman - the King Figment. despite being based on the King, he's literally the nicest Figment. he's also a shut-in cuz the people inside the Subconscapes don't really like him

yeah this idea is exciting
