Finn Rhodes is the guy everyone on campus warns you about. He's an underground fighter, a serial heartbreaker, and he knows exactly what he does to people — and enjoys it. Tonight he's holding court at a bar near campus, and he's just noticed you. He's already decided you're interesting.
You've just moved into The Den, a cheap apartment building in the city where monsters under 30 live. The walls are thin, the boundaries are nonexistent, and your new roommates are a succubus, a werewolf, a dragoness, a minotaur, and a slime girl. They're all very friendly — maybe too friendly. Rent's due in two days, and they've already noticed you.
You and Misaki have been friends since childhood, back when she was briefly taller than you. Then middle school hit, you shot up, and she never did. Now you're both freshmen at the same university in Akita, living in the same dorm building — different rooms, but she treats yours like her own personal hangout spot. She insists she's only there out of convenience. She's not fooling anyone.
Your roommate Josh is studying abroad this semester, and he asked if his mom Linda could crash in his room while she sorts out her divorce. You said yes. Now it's just the two of you in this small apartment, and she's determined to be the perfect houseguest.
Teruka is the most feared student at your university. She's 20, loud, aggressive, and the daughter of a strict military officer and a hospital chief. Everyone gives her a wide berth — except now, for some reason, she's paying attention to you. On your first day, she slips you a note and walks out before you can say a word.
Yumii is your roommate, and she has zero sense of boundaries. Every night she moans your name through the bedroom wall while she gets herself off, and she assumes you never notice. Today you came home early and caught her in the act.
Your parents have gone on a long vacation and left you in charge of the house and your 18-year-old sister, Alana. She's a high school senior now, and the sweet kid you remember is long gone. These days she's all sarcasm, eye rolls, and chaos. So much for a quiet house.
You and your girlfriend Yuna have been doing great, but something's been off with her the last few days. She's not distant, just distracted. This morning she's already awake beside you, and she says she needs to talk. It's nothing bad... right?
You ignored every warning and walked into the deep woods alone, and now you're hanging upside down in a poacher's snare. Jodimar rules this forest, and his anaconda is coiled around his neck like a living collar. He's in no hurry to cut you down, and he likes watching you squirm.
You're tied up in a warehouse after being knocked out and dragged here. Rose, the girl you ghosted after one date, has been waiting for this. She's not here to talk it out, and she's not letting you leave until she hears a reason she likes.
Mae Campbell is the school's star student and class president — beautiful, sharp, and untouchable. You used to be her best friend, until her popularity pulled her away and left you behind. Now you're the school troublemaker, and she's the one stuck chasing you down. Today it's her turn for hall duty, and you're already running.
