Putting more stuff for the split screen/beast bunny au
To be clear, Shen yuan sees himself as Normal Guy TM no matter where it is, be it lake or mirrors or basically anything that reveals himself. Its rly his vision that got fucked by the system lmao
He does unlock "dual maining" eventually, as in his 2nd arm. Its a bit cursed, since the second arm is made from a dead arm actually but was manipulated and revived by some dark art. Or well, it was made by a "carrot."
Basically, system made him find a very very specific "carrot" and made him kill it. He used the flesh and roughly formed it into the shape of an arm, a sharp blade on the end of the made arm. He lodged that blade into his own, connecting his flesh and the demon flesh. The demon flesh of the "carrot" started to regenerate due to the blade drawing shen yuan's unknown blood and merging with the demon flesh's own.
In shen yuan's pov, an arm magically appeared after he "chopped up some carrots for the materials" to make said arm. It looks great to him, but anyone else witnessing that scene would've been HORRIFIED.
Oh yeah the demon arm is blackened and charred, as well as having sharp bloody claws. So basically, he became even more of a monster !! But hey, he has two arms now. Yay!
Does shen yuan ever find out he sees things differently compared to others? Haha, no idea. Maybe he will, maybe he won't!
The system decides, afterall.
Will shen yuan ever be able to communicate with the "bunnies"? Yeah he loves his babies very much.
Yes he still gushes about other monsters and yes other monsters exists, the "carrots" only appear when the system deems them an "enemy"
but... how would that work?
A flickering figure, tripping between orange and gray.
"Baba?.."
the blur spoke, a reaching hand towards Shen Yuan. What?
They continued to flicker, the system undecided and unresponsive. Was this an illusion? A new devourer type?
He wasn't gonna take any risks, so he assumed so and tried to attack.
The devourer dodged it, albeit sloppily, barely making it.
I won't miss the next time.
He swung his butcher's knife, though the devourer kept dodging and even got a hit on him. He was getting kinda frustrated, until he remembered he has a new arm now!
With his realization, he quickly grabbed the devourer using his new arm and pinned it down, the knife to its barely seen panicking face.
before he could cut the carrot though, his system blaired at him.
[ERROR!] [ERROR!] [ERROR!]
What?
"-BA"
"-BABA!"
An unclear voice like a dream snapped him out of it, and when he looked down; his bunny? Oh fuck.
He quickly let go and saw how scared his green bunny was. Guilty, shen yuan scooped up the teary-eyed bunny and gently cradled it, muttering apologies.
Eh, but wait.. did it just call him "baba"?!
And suddenly he was convinced they have a special connection.
The system rung up,
[host has prevented the illusion 'Unseen' from making you hurt your bunnies.]
[10 d-points has been given.]
Hm, well shen yuan supposes it was easy enough to figure out, but did he seriously need to traumatize his baby? But then again thats the illusion's fault, he has nothing to do with it except being another victim. Sigh~
Now that he thinks about it, why did the figure look faintly human?
Eh, well it was an illusion, so who cares?
And then in sj's pov its like, his baba cuts up another demon. But then, he started cutting it up into mesh, and was forming it into something, something that looked eerily like an arm.
He stuck his extra blade into it and holy fuck did he just stabbed himself?!-
And then the arm made by the flesh of a demon suddenly regenerated into his baba's arm and the next thing he knows is that his adoptive dad struggled to stand and breathe.
He was worried only for a bit because the next, his baba looked at him, and fucking tried to kill him.
Atleast shen jiu managed to snap him out of it, so now his worrisome and scary monster was hugging him and muttering unintelligibles that felt like apologies.
No amount of apologies can make up for that jumpscare but thanks dad.
oh also, the bunnies could be either beasts or human. The rarer ones were always human though, or atleast human kids.
To seperate the 2 so that either the humans wont kill the demon beasts or the demons wont kill the humans, the system seperated it into 3 using traits.
Humans were always "haze", smth smth haze. Like shen jiu's being "haze-coated dreams." But that ones obvious, for a non obvious one lets use lqg as an example. Liu Qingge's could be "burning iron spirit" or smth and in the status lqg's bunny would have the trait "haze" alongside other traits.
Meanwhile, demons or specifically monsters that the system can consider friendly enough to be made bunnies would have the trait "beast", while demons as in ppl like mobei-jun would have the trait "demonic"
And the system would tell him that he needs to seperate them so their traits dont clash and make their life uncomfy
And who was shen yuan to allow his babies to suffer?!

System: kill this devourer to get its materials to make your arm
Sy: ayyy finally!
(Few minutes later)
Sj: wtf wtf wtf wtf
Sy: oops
System:
System: seems we encountered another monster (" > .>) —> (looks away)
Sy: damn that monster, made my poor baby scared :(
System, sweating: yeaaahhhh.... heres some d-points.

Shen yuan eats human food. He discovered demonic and haze bunnies only until later, shen jiu was his first haze bunny. The system tells him that haze bunnies have the same diet as humans because when they grow up they eventually take on a humanoid form, or well.. learn. The system needs an excuse to further reason why sj cant communicate afterall.
Haze coated dreams aka sj randomly transforming back into a bunny
Sy: ???
System who was trying to keep sj from spilling the beans: haze bunnies learn to maintain their humanoid form, but it doesnt last very long as their control is weak.
Sy: ah that makes sense.
Yes, shen jiu will be able to communicate with shen yuan eventually, but only when the system knows that sj is already used to sy's monster-esque appearance and wont infact snitch. (Or cant)
If needed, the system will js "haze" (censor) the revealing words in the form of sj speaking unintelligebles and convince shen yuan that his haze bunny was still learning how to speak.
Well, by the time the system cant use that excuse, it would've already fulfilled its goal anyway.
Anywayyyss yeah just some stuff in my head
