G'day Mates I just want to thank you for clicking on this story.
All of the main characters are OCs, The others are either from other Fics, DLWMG, or are OCs as well. This series is a romance harem/comedy/adventure story and has some minor tragedy scenes, but they all play out well...Minor cursing. No lemons.
I am experimenting with an idea of incorporating music into my writing, sounds confusing but bear with me *I own none of the songs*.
When I put a song name you listen to the song in the background while reading *adds a certain something, I will put the song name and artist, these songs will be mostly found on youtube. You don't have to listen to the songs but it adds a certain something.
The main characters will have theme songs, but only If I can find one that truly fits.
NO lemons, I'll write romance, and cuddling scenes but no sex scenes... I do not feel up to doing that.
If anybody wants to help by doing a collab or editing, message me and we'll talk. I don't own DLWMG, MGE or any songs I write the names of (Daily Life With Monster Girls, Monster Girl Encyclopedia) or any characters from other fics, I am not sponsored... I just like music.
If anybody is confused about the species of girls, go to the MGE and search the name. I will indicate If I make up any girls species.
Zack was recruited to work for the Canadian government Under there RnD (Research and Development) program at the CSIS after his nanobot project was successfully able to cure cancer, more on that later... possibly it is top secret though.
Since then he has made several more advancements and has even found a side hobby which involves making music and being a YouTuber... from time to time.
This story is of how he changed the whole Extra species exchange program for the better, So enjoy my story... WOW, does that sound like an anime opening, or what?
LET'S ROLL IT!...
I was drawn from my deep sleep by a stray beam of sunlight which managed to slip through my closed blinds.
As the thin beam of yellow light continued to burn through my shut eyes, it woke me up further as I started to become more aware of what was around me, the feeling of my warm blankets on my body, the warmth on my eyelids and face, the ringing in my ears becoming louder and louder turning from a dull monotonous ringing sound into a voice.
A voice that I was all too familiar with.
"WAKEEEEEE UPPP BIGGGGGG BROTHERRRR!" was what filled my eardrums instead of the faint sound of birds that I was enjoying a moment ago, I lazily opened my eyes to see my younger 12yr old sister standing right in front of me screaming at the top of her lungs.
"I'm up, I'm up," I said as I threw my blanketoff myselflf, attempting to get out of bed only for those exact blankets to tangle around my legs making me fall on the floor, Causing my sister erupted in a fit of giggles, as I lay facedown on my carpeted floor half wrapped up by my blanket.
Giggling in that annoying little sister way, that ONLY family would find cute...Then silence as I stood up after finally managing to escape from my linen prison, confused as what would bring my sisters giggle fit to a halt I looked up to see her face a bright crimson red.
"Are you done?" I asked with slight annoyance.
All she did was the point at my midsection then blushed harder.
She then promptly ran out of my room and yelled: "PUT A SHIRT ON." I just laughed, and yelled back "ITS MY ROOM!"
glancing at my mirror, I took note that all my workouts had been paying off, and that is Natalie is probably hitting that boy crazy faze…And I guess me being shirtless was too much for her. I pondered as I got dressed throwing on a pair of Cargo pants, shirt, socks, and hat
I went downstairs to see my mother and older sister Tanya in the kitchen watching the news and Natalie sitting at the table, still beet red doing the same.
I turned and gave the T.V. a quick glance and saw that my family was watching an update on the cultural exchange program, A little while back demi-humans and monster people are known as liminals, that were thought as nothing but legends, announced their existence to the world, and currently Japan is the only country who is running this interspecies exchange program. It tests each species compatibility when it comes to living with humans If successful more countries will adopt the program.
I thought it was really cool that there were other intelligent species on earth living among us like lamias, harpies, centaurs and mermaids. Maybe if the program comes to Canada I'll join to host a monster girl, But I doubt Incould do it while I'm living alone as my family isn't really fond of insects, or snakes, or sharks, or other animals... Me being the odd one that loves those things.
However some of my friends and even my aunt is against liminals calling them freaks and demons that don't deserve rights that humans have, Personally I think that is cruel to say, and I even think the more 'dangerous' species are misunderstood, but enough about my delusions about what I think is fair and what isn't. But it's not like my opinions will ever be heard and taken into consideration.
"Good morning Hun," my mother greeted me pulling me out of my thoughts, as I walked to the fridge and grabbed an apple out of the bottom drawer. I greeted her back with a hug then sat down at the table, Tanya's phone started to buzz on the table top, as she hastily reaches to grab it, close to the speed of sound.
"What's the big rush?" I asked. "Just can it, being in a relationship has responsibilities that you couldn't even comprehend" she retorted as she ran into the living room to answer the call, which I could only guess would be her boyfriend Jeremy calling.
Pulling out my phone I activated the software I hid in my sister's phone and high jacked her call into my phone.
"Hey Jeremy, what's up?...No you called the right number, Well you could say that I stole your call…. Yeah just like last time, she keeps falling for it….. Ok…. I'll give the phone to her…...Nah I just like messing with her…...Yes, Of course, were siblings and don't you forget it….But that doesn't give you the right to mistreater her…..Yes, sure lunch would suffice…. Alright, take care." I ended the conversation with Tanya's boyfriend and handed my phone to her.
My mom just sat there with that disapproving mom face, With my sister laughing her head off at the table.
My sister just walks back, hands my phone back and glares at me. "Well, what did he say?"
"We're going on a date!" she said happily.
"You need to cool it before your enthusiasm turns him off," I said sarcastically brushing her off.
"You wouldn't know the excitement of being in a relationship if it hit you in your face, mainly because you've never had a girlfriend," She said as she stuck her tongue out at me, "I can get one," I said turning away.
"If I put my mind to it." I said taking a bite of my apple, "What she is saying is true Honey, you should get a girlfriend so you won't be lonely like Tanya's been for the past few years." My mother said as she walked up to the table with an omelet on a plate, putting the plate down in front of me, causing Tanya to roll her eyes at Mom.
"You just need to put that mind to it." mom said booping me on the nose, "And heaven only knows how much of that rare resource you have to spare," Tanya said coyly.
"I'll think about it," I said lazily, as I started to eat my omelette, but was interrupted by my phone ringing, thinking it was Jeremy again because I never turned off my phone's leech program I let it sit there while I finished the food in my mouth. When that was over I answered my phone.
"Yo, This is Zack... What do you want?" I answered in a very casual way.
"This is Margaret your supervisor, and might I remind you to not be so casual with me, Zackary."
"Oh shoot Ummm sorry madam. Might I ask why you're calling and interrupting me and my amazing omelette."
"I apologize but you have recently been transferred out of our program and you are being sent to Japan"
"Wait, what? As far as I remember I'm not your property to send and do as you please"
"Yes, you are very much my property, just as much as you are for the government... You agreed to it when you signed the contract, And we are invoking our power of ownership on you to send you to Japan."
"Can I know why?"
"I will explain when I come by, you leave for Japan in two hours, all your large personal items have already been sent over to your residents in Japan, I will meet you at your place in 30 minutes."
"Wait, what large items have you already shipped down there?" I asked frantically but it was pointless as she had already had hung up the phone leaving me with the dull ringing of the disconnected line.
"Well shoot, I guess I'm going to Japan."
"WHAT?" they all looked at me with stunned faces, "Why? When? how long?"
"I don't know, I just know I'm being picked up by my supervisor Margaret in 30 min. So I got to get ready" I said as I slammed my omelet down and ran upstairs to pack.
I packed most of my clothes into one suitcase and the rest of my stuff into my backpack including my laptop, launch pad, GoPro, the upper part of my rave mask, and an over the top amount of cables and power packs for where I'm going.
As I went back downstairs, I was greeted with Margaret talking with my family in the living room. My mom was in tears, she saw me and ran to hug me, "Is it true your going to Japan, to live there forever."
"Yes, I will be- WAIT what?" I asked my supervisor.
"Well you see, your going to japan to assist in the cultural exchange program, word has gotten out to Japan how much of an asset you are, and they have requested for you to come and assist in it. Of course this is was an amazing offer that would benefit many, so we at the CSIS as well as the Canadian government okay'd this and of this moment you are under Japan's jurisdiction." She responded.
"But he's only 16, Why are you making my baby go into an unknown country all alone, for who knows how long," she said bawling her eyes out into my shoulder.
"I'm sorry Ms. But your son is been given a once in a life time chance, however, if he really is opposed to this we can't really force him, because he runs to fast." Margaret said the last part with a sigh.
"Yeah, I do!" I exclaimed.
"If this is your wish, you do what makes you happy, Just please don't shut us out like your father did, your to young for me to give you up just yet." she said while hugging me, her breathing still irregular.
My little sister was next to jump on my back and start crying on me, I told her that she can call me at any point and we can still play our video games. She reluctantly climbed down from my back and gave me one last hug before she quietly stood off to the side.
"Hey maybe you'll finally get yourself a girlfriend," Tanya said as a tear rolled down her cheek, "Just don't ruin your relationship that I spend way to much of my time and energy setting it up." I half joked as we shared one last embrace. "No seriously, I spent way to much time getting you two together. I can't watch this fail." was the last thing I said before she pulled away and stood silently beside Natalie.
I gave my mother one last long hug before I grabbed my bags and said my final farewells to them as I walked out of the door with Margaret in tow.

Sitting in the back of a government issued suv, I was now officially on my way to the airport. I was a little upset about leaving my family, but figuring that this wouldn't be the last time I saw them I decided to put my best foot forward for what I would be doing in Japan. Margaret told me that although the program had been going steady for a year and a half, with wonderful reports and experiences from all the programm still needed that little extra push and they thought it would benefit to see how a liminal and a non-Japanese exchange student would fair together. You are just there to see how the program is and if you are successful then you will be apart of helping further the program with inventions, or changes of the laws to make things better for everyone.
"So I'm going to participate in the program like everyone else?" I asked confused by the barrage of words that just hit me in the face. "Yes, exactly. You will be treated in the program like everyone else, except your opinion will be consulted when matters arise."
"AWESOME! I'm going to meet some liminals" I yelled suddenly, startling Margaret, "I've always wanted to meet a liminal in person, ever since the first moment they were announced." I said almost bouncing in my seat as the agent sitting beside tried to compose herself after my…. Well, excitement spree.
We made it to the airport and the car stopped at the side but before getting out she grabbed my arm and said: "try to not make there time with you a living hell." She said with a smile, I got out and thanked Margaret, I also went to the passenger window and thanked the driver, He seemed to like the recognition.
Grabbing my stuff out of the trunk, I pulled my mask over my mouth and sinked up the Bluetooth with headphones, which activated the leds in the soft fabric that covered my mouth, setting the leds to do a generic equilizer graphic, the one that I do on my live streams.
A/N play: Peace sign, my hero academia
Walking through the airport, I noticed that it was quite busy for being a weekday with many people rushing about trying to get checked in. A few people looking at me with annoyance because I was in there way or I looked like your average trouble seeking, teenager... and a few even waving at me out of recognition or out of being a fan.
As I was already preregistered thanks to Margaret, so I didn't need to go though that painful process, as all I had to do was check in my luggage, which seemed to be more of a task then I originally thought.
I had to disassemble all the gear I had on my person then put it all back on which was not easy, then I had answer all kinds of questions about what stuff in my bag was... like they thought my launchpad was a demolition board, but I eventually got through it with only one close call where this guy started yelling at me for cutting him off as he was walking... took all my will power to not tackle that mother fucker to the ground but I did it, you should be proud of me. And with that, I walked to the terminal where my plane was and walked aboard.
As I got on the plane I stopped by the cockpit to get a preemptive high five from the pilot and co-pilot, which did not please the flight attendants, but after that was out of my system I went down to my seat in first class and sat down, I never really fly so I had no real expectations about the flight, or the seating arrangements. I relaxed into my seat and after sending a few last minute texts to my family I prepared for the takeoff but I felt a tap on the bridge of my headphones, Ignoring it due to me thinking it was either a bag strap rubbing against me or the skull-splitting base playing in the EDM I was listening too. Then I was tapped again, but this time much harder on the shoulder. Looking up I saw that my aggravator was that same middle-aged man that walked into me in the terminal, I paused my music and took off my headphones waiting for what he had to say.
"You…. Are….In….My….Seat….Kid." He said slowly, fuming with rage.
I pulled out my plane ticket and checked my seat number with the one on my ticket, confirming that I was in the correct seat. Feeling nice I just told him to leave, and to find his actual seat. Without causing a big scene.
He then grabbed me by the shoulder and told me that he paid a 'premium fee to get this exact seat.'could have been true but I honestly forgot to lack any fucks with me. Honestly.
"Look, Kid just gets out of my seat." He half-yelled bringing a lot the attention of everybody currently onboard to us. And there went my good mood, right out one of those pressured airplane windows.
"No, why don't you fuck off and go find your actual seat, stop being an entitled dickbag and act like a proper fucking adult," I said standing up and towering over him.
He just shrunk back and slumped his head down in shame for attempting to muscle a 'kid' out a seat that he wanted, Everybody else thought the same of him as I could see everybody standing attempting to pressure him away from me.
Wanting to just get on with my flight in peace. I told him he could have my seat. I then grabbed my stuff and walked to his, now my seat in the economy class. One of the attendants came down to my seat and thanked me for moving saying "there one in every flight, and they stir up trouble the whole flight. Thank you for moving."
The flight attendants did their preflight rituals and after 10 minutes of that nonsense, we were cruising soundly at 20,000 ft starting our 14 hour trip to Tokyo.
After around 8 hours of watching movies on a screen the size of my phone, I took a break from that headache inducing pass time and took out a Rubix cube, after solving it a few times I put it away. I looked around the cabin and took note that everybody else had their eyeballs fused to the surface of there tiny screens. I then looked to the aisle on either side of me, as my aisle was empty. There were a few adults watching or reading to my left, but to my right, there was a family with a teenager, probably 17 or so, A kid maybe 10 years old and a mother.
The kid was hyper and was attempting to play with his mother and sister. But they kept ignoring him, and I saw that he was disappointed that his own family wouldn't even look his way.
Soooo, I got up and asked "hey kid, I'm kind of bored want to play some games with me?" his eyes lit up like a lightbulb and he agreed.
I let him sit down next to me as I took out my laptop and started Minecraft up. We spent the next 7 hours watching movies, playing games, teaching him the Rubik's cube, and playing with my launchpad.
He said his name was James, he was 10 yrs old and has been playing the piano since he was little, I also learned a whole lot more things then I wanted to, because he's 10 and has zero tactfulness.
For a first-timer, he was pretty good at playing the launchpad, he even created a decent new melody that I saved for later, tinkering. I pulled on my mask that was dangling around my neck out of habit when I mix or mess with music. But when I did I guess he must have recognized it as the scream that followed would have deafened me. If not for the noise cancelling headphones I was wearing.
"Your that youtuber...that...that guy that makes music and does lets plays?... The one that always wears a mask like yours?" he asked with big eyes. "You watch my channel?" I asked him with my masks led equalizers picking up on my voice and mirroring it accordingly.
"Your Ballistic, aren't you?" he asked. "Yes… yes, I am." I said with a small sigh. "Your AWESOME!" he exclaimed.
"What's your mask like?"
"Where did you get it?"
"Can I try it on?"
"How do you make videos?"
"Could I make videos?"
The questions were hurled at me faster than a then I could keep up, but that last question stuck out at me.
"If you want to become a YouTuber I can help you get started if you wish, but it's not all fun and games," I said.
"But you seem to upload every other day, and you always look like your having fun." He asked back.
"Well I'm an exception, and I don't go to school... so I have lots of free time,"I answered.
"But you don't look older than my sister, and she's still in grade 12." He reasoned.
"I dropped out of school," I explained.
"So I could be a YouTube if I dropped out of school." He asked completely innocently.
"No it wouldn't work out for you, school is important and you shouldn't skip it."
"But you did it and you are awesome."
"I'm kind of a special case here, not everyone can do what I do," I said trying to reason with him.
"But I'm special. Aren't I?" He asked with big eyes.
"Sure kid, sure... just stay in school" I reasoned with him.
"But why?" He whined.
"Well tough schools important, and being a YouTube isn't all it's cracked out to be... and it does not pay well. So you need to have a job... just trust me stay in school and enjoy it." I said as he let out a loud a sigh.
I packed my stuff into my backpack, and walked out of the plane, with James behind me and his parents somewhere far behind me. my balaclava like mask hanging around my neck
As we got into the terminal I was talking with him and finalizing all of our contact details. *He asked to do so*
"Hold on a second," he told me as he ran around a corner to what I can only assume was to grab his parents. He came back with his Mother and sister in tow and some else behind him. As they got closer, his mother impatiently asked: "Who do you want us to meet?"
"Who do you think," he said rolling his eyes while pointing at me.
The family of three looked at me, in confusion and James then promptly facepalmed, the. I realized I didn't have any of the stuff on. So placing my headphones on my head followed by me pulling the soft cloth over my mouth and nose the metal nodes on either side of my head snapping onto my headphones, looking them in place and powering the led and processors.
The three stopped dead in their tracks when they were a few feet in front of me. James moved to stand right beside me and, 'attempted' to mirror my stance.
I then realized that the 'dad' of the group was the guy that I met at the beginning of my flight, who tried to muscle me out of my seat, and the same guy who bumped into me at the other airport. Crazy world.
They were still staring.
"Ummm….Hi there, you must be James family." I said breaking the ice.
"Are you really him? Ballistic… That musician" the daughter asked. "Honey look at the mask, of course, it's him, either that he's rich to afford such a pricey replica." The mother said to her daughter while I continued to study James odd family.
"Yes that's me...I'm Ballistic… The musician you apparently listen to." they stood there in awe and just like when James found out I was once again bombarded by a thousand questions.
"And gaming YouTuber." The father cut in and interrupted feeling all impressed about himself.
"What do you look like under the mask?" the teenager asked, as she didn't see me earlier because she was too far to see my face in detail.
"You wouldn't believe how many times I've been asked that," I responded while taking disengaging the magnets causing the mask to fall to from my face. The blush that followed on the girl's face was comical, and kind of cute and I laughed, that only deepening the blush on her face. I put my mask back on and she asked if I had a girlfriend. I was only able to sputter a no before she giggled and blew me a kiss. While the LEDs over my cheeks simulated a blush, as I stood there rubbing my the back of the head in embarrassment for leaving it in mimic mode.
"Before I forget, I would like a picture with James if possible," I asked much to the shock of the three of them.
I grabbed my phone, knelt down next to James, put my arm around his shoulder and took a picture with him. I then got up and texted it to him, said my farewells to the family. Gave James a high five, told him to keep in touch and walked out to get my suitcase.
I walked down to the luggage pick up spot, and waited for my luggage to show... but it never did so I asked one of the attendants and she said that my luggage was shipped to my 'place of residence' as Indicated on the luggage tag on me as the airport employee told me. Chalking my missing luggage to either be stolen or actually shipped to 'my place of residence'.
It wasn't that bad, it meant that I had no extra clothes but all my important stuff was in my backpack. So worst come to worst I'd have to go clothes shopping, one of the scariest things for a male to do.
Place of residents? I wonder where that is because I just realized I wasn't told what to do where to go when I arrived here.
Turing my phones scanner to the radio I listened to the local radio stations music as I walked out of the airport with a determination to explore and learn the city of Tokyo.
The land of the rising sun.
Invention Dimension!
Although I am an inventor and all of my inventions and patents are regulated and controlled by the CSIS.
A little extra promotion never hurt anybody... unless you don't know how to handle a knife.
Today I'll be telling you about my new rave gear!
Headphones: AMX300
Audio Modification Xtreme 300CPU
These headphones are designed so that they have turntables on the sides of the headphones for mixing your song anywhere, while quad dynamic cores provide the best sound experience one could get from a headphone. All around the edges are magnet points for the lower and upper mask and goggles to snap into place and receive power, and instructions.
Lower mask: MPL spitguard
Magnetically powered light source Spitguard
The lower mask is a nano light tube weave of LEDs, very similar to fibre optics. This mask is just like a balaclava as it only goes just past the user's nose but under there eyes. It has a thin wire running through the top of it so that it stays on the users face perfectly, the wire can be bent to suit any user.
It communicates directly with the main AMX unit and is perfect for localized light shows. The default is an equalizer software that interacts with the audio output of the AMX.
Upper mask: MOHUD
Mag operated heads-up display
Finally is the goggle section, like the lower part it connects via the mag via nodes, it can give the user diagnostics about any of the systems, and Information about its current status.
The app:
This allows for you to connect to the AMX with Bluetooth and you can thus control the lights and display for the MPL, and the customization of the display on the MOHUD. You can create your own visuals for the MPL.
The set is durable, made with carbon fibre and aircraft aluminum, it also has a long AUX cable for use when using on a computer or any other music equipment. It is compatible with all equipment, and phones.
Stay tuned next week for another episode of Invention Dimension... hopefully, It takes time to make this stuff can't expect for me to have something every week... who has time for that?
Well, chapter one is redone.
My uploads will most likely happen every week or so, as a posed to my original 2-3 day updates, I just couldn't promise quality content.
Anyway like, hate, review.
