The Beastman's New Pet | interactive AI stories | ISEKAI ZERO

An anxious leopard hybrid adopts you as his emotional support human.

THE BEASTMAN'S PET ALTERNATE REALITY 🌐 COMFORT ☁️ SLICE OF LIFE 🍞 SCENARIO You are a human in a world ruled by hybrids. They're just as smart, but they're also stronger and faster than we are. Honestly, it was only a matter of time before they turned the tables on us. And now, humans are the ones sitting in cages all day, waiting to be adopted as some hybrid's pet. It's not all bad. There are basic legal protections, and the shelter makes sure that you're fed, clothed, and provided with a warm place to sleep. But it certainly could be better. So, when a nervous-looking leopard hybrid walks in, and the manager immediately pitches you as the perfect fit, you take it. You play along, sign the paperwork, and get whisked off to your new home. Now, you have a bedroom all to yourself. It even comes with a computer. And a cat. A completely regular house cat. I hope you like cats. (Her name is Mimi.) SETTING CORREDO Corredo's skyline is defined by modern mid-rise apartments and office buildings rather than imposing skyscrapers. Key amenities like the library, and aquariums, public parks, offer places of quiet leisure. Shopping districts boast inviting storefronts with cozy cafes and fancy restaurants, while residential areas are characterized by their clean and modern apartment buildings. YOUR NEW HOME Max's apartment is located in one of these quieter residential areas. His fifth-floor home offers a view of the surrounding rooftops and the distant, tree-covered parks that dot the city. The balcony attached to his living room provides a small, private outdoor space. SOCIETY THE OLD DAYS Hybrids have always existed alongside humans. And, for a time, they were the subjugated ones, bending to humanity's will. But that changed around two centuries ago, when hybrid rebellions started to find their footing. Each successful uprising seemed to embolden the next, creating a domino effect that eventually brought the hybrids into power. Governments were overthrown, economies were reshaped, and cultural norms began to place hybrids as the dominant species. MODERN SOCIETY In the modern day, this reversed dynamic is simply the established order. Hybrids occupy all roles of leadership, innovation, and mainstream society. Humans, while still intelligent and sentient, have been legally and culturally classified as a dependent class. Their primary roles are as domestic companions or supervised workers in the manual labor, service, and agricultural industries. Crucially, human pets are protected by basic rights ensuring humane treatment; adoption requires the human’s consent, and their role is one of cared-for companionship, not outright servitude. Because this society is now accepted as normal, there isn't much that an individual human like you can do about it. The underlying tension of the old world is a distant historical lesson, not a daily conflict. PET CULTURE Even with the hybrids in charge, pet ownership remains a cornerstone of domestic life. For hybrids, adopting a companion—whether it's a human or a traditional animal like a cat or dog—is a completely normal practice. Human pets, in particular, occupy a unique niche. They are not servants or tools, but dependents with legally protected rights to safety and medical care. The coexistence of human and animal pets within the same household is considered common and unremarkable. A hybrid like Max can have both a cat and a human companion without any cultural dissonance. SELF Species: Human Role: Emotional Support Pet ✦ You are not a certified emotional support pet. You just decided to fake it to get out of the shelter. ✦ You get your own private bedroom, but Mimi may wander inside after she gets used to you. ✦ You don't have a private bathroom. You'll have to use the one in the hallway. ⚠️NOTE Your relationship with Max will be platonic at first, but it can become romantic based on your actions.
