Poison Mist Apocalypse: The Female Leader Insists Her Demon Child Is a Spirit Pearl
Ryu · Completed · 7.5k Words
Introduction
She announced that she carried the child of a god—a child who would bring hope to the entire base.
Only I knew that what she bore was no divine offspring, but a demon that would devour every soul in the base.
Because in my previous life, I was the one it had gnawed to death, alive...
Chapter 1
The gnawing pain still lingered when I opened my eyes.
Inside the conference hall, Lily sat at the head seat. Her long golden hair glinted under the candlelight as she gently stroked her swollen belly.
I froze for a second, realizing I had been reborn.
Memories of my past life flooded back—two months ago, Lily had returned suddenly pregnant after going out, claiming it was a "miracle", a Chosen One born from the toxic mist. Everyone had believed her.
A year later, the creature was born.
She called it the "Divine Child", but its eyes were pitch-black, its mouth lined with sharp fangs.
It needed to feed. At first, it preyed on ordinary people, then later on ability users.
That day, I had just returned from a mission, covered all over in wounds.
The moment I stepped through the base gates, a piercing whoosh cut through the air behind me.
Lily's personal guards ambushed me, broke my limbs, and dragged me into that room.
Lily stood in the doorway, holding the "Divine Child" in her arms.
"Chu Men," she said softly, "you always said you’d do anything for me, didn’t you?"
She set the creature down inside the room and closed the door.
The monster pounced, starting to gnaw at my legs, working its way up to my chest.
An ability user’s extraordinary vitality let me stay conscious long enough to watch it devour my heart.
Lily stood outside the reinforced glass window, watching with a gentle, resolute expression.
Amid the agony, the purple crystal core I’d accidentally obtained on this mission brushed against my blood, turning into a streak of violet light that burrowed into my forehead.
Then came a pain more agonizing than being torn apart, followed by endless darkness…
"Chu Men?"
Lily’s voice jolted me back from my thoughts.
She tilted her head. "What were you daydreaming about?"
In my past life, her soft, tender words would always make my heart race. Now they only filled me with revulsion.
"My apologies, Leader. I was distracted."
She smiled warmly, then glanced around the hall. "I’ve called everyone here with wonderful news—my child, the Chosen One, has entered a period of rapid growth!"
"But its growth requires massive resources." Lily’s voice turned delicate. "Deep within the Ten Thousand Poison Abyss grows a fifth-order spiritual grass, translucent white all over, capable of accelerating the divine fetus’s growth. Chu Men, would you go there for me?"
Here it comes.
In my past life, I’d agreed to this request. I’d ventured into the Ten Thousand Poison Abyss, returned grievously injured, my power greatly diminished—and in the end, I’d become the first third-order ability user to be sacrificed.
Every gaze in the conference hall locked onto me, filled with disdain and mockery.
I was about to refuse when a sudden hum echoed in my mind.
It was the purple crystal core!
It had come back with my rebirth, sending a stream of information—it was the World Purification Divine Core, able to absorb all toxic mist energy.
The more poisonous the place, the stronger the poisonous beasts I killed, the faster my power would rise!
The Ten Thousand Poison Abyss was no death trap for me. It was a treasure land.
"I would do anything for you, Leader!" I quickly changed my words.
The looks in everyone’s eyes instantly turned to contempt and sneers.
"Brother Chu Men is truly our base’s hero!" Johns, Lily’s favorite consort, spoke up abruptly. "The Ten Thousand Poison Abyss is a place where even fifth-order experts face certain death. For you to risk yourself for the Leader is truly admirable!"
His face wore a smile, yet his eyes brimmed with sarcasm, clearly waiting to relish my predicament.
"Thank you for your concern." My tone was calm. "I will come back alive."
Johns’s smile froze for a moment.
"I believe in you." Lily reached out and took my hand. "Chu Men, you’ve always been the one I trust most. When you return, I’ll hold a feast to honor you myself."
Her gaze was soft enough to melt water, but all I felt was the urge to retch.
"I understand."
I lowered my head, pulled my hand free, and turned to walk out of the conference room.
As I passed the personal guard unit that had killed me in my past life, my face remained impassive, yet I struggled to contain the killing intent raging in my heart.
I was only a third-order ability user. The base held three fourth-order users and ten third-order ones. Now was not the time to strike.
I had to grow stronger.
The Ten Thousand Poison Abyss lay thirty kilometers north of the base.
Beneath its entrance roiled thick purple toxic mist, dense as boiling liquid. Ordinary humans would mutate into venomous beasts within a second of stepping foot here, and even ability users had to exhaust great strength to resist the mist’s corrosion.
But the World Purification Divine Core in my mind grew warm.
It craved to absorb the toxic mist’s power.
I jumped down.
Purple mist surged over me in an instant, a stinging sensation spreading across my body—yet soon the sharp pain melted into coolness.
I could feel my strength rising, the bottleneck of the third-order weakening.
Three days passed.
By noon on the fourth day, I found the spiritual grass growing atop a cliff, guarded by a peak third-order giant scorpion.
After a brutal battle, I slew the scorpion and absorbed its energy.
Crack!
A cracking sound echoed inside me. I had broken through to the fourth-order!
The surging power within made me feel capable of defeating everyone in the base, yet I forced myself to stay calm. I carefully plucked the spiritual grass and left the abyss.
Rather than risk fighting the others here and now, it would be far sweeter revenge to level up alone, let Lily give birth to that monster, and watch my enemies—even Lily herself—be devoured by it.

“I thought you said you were done chasing me?” Gen mocked.
“I am done chasing you.”
Before she could formulate a witty remark, Matteo threw her down. She landed hard on her back atop his dining room table. She tried to sit up when she noticed what he was doing. His hands were working on his belt. It came free of his pants with a violent yank. She collapsed back on her elbows, her mouth gaping open at the display. His face was a mask of sheer determination, his eyes were a dark gold swimming with heat and desire. His hands wrapped around her thighs and pulled her to the edge of the table. He glided his fingers up her thighs and hooked several around the inside of her panties. His knuckles brushed her dripping sex.
“You’re soaking wet, Genevieve. Tell me, was it me that made you this way or him?” his voice told her to be careful with her answer. His knuckles slid down through her folds and she threw her head back as she moaned. “Weakness?”
“You…” she breathed.

The moment his dark eyes locked on mine through the glass, I became prey. His filthy smirk promised one thing—he saw me touching myself to him, and he wasn’t about to let me forget it.
Now, every time I’m in his house, I can’t breathe without thinking of his mouth between my legs.
I left my cheating boyfriend behind, only to fall into something even more dangerous:

Letters to a Dark Prince
Thrown into Isteros Academy—a world of old money, blood money, and cruel social games—she's an outsider by birth and an afterthought by design. Her sister Solyn is the school's untouchable queen and Mara is her favorite target.
Everyone expects Atreus to treat his fiancée’s scholarship sister like everyone else does—as if she doesn’t matter.
Instead, his dorm room sits directly across from hers, close enough that she can see his light go out at night. Some nights, he climbs the old maintenance trellis just to check on her. He teaches her chess. He shows up exactly when something's gone wrong—and never once asks to be thanked for it.
"Don't fall in love with one piece," he warns her, over a board neither of them treats like a game anymore. "It punishes the person who only sees half of it."
Mara doesn't understand why the boy who's supposed to make her life harder keeps quietly making it easier—not until she realizes the anonymous stranger she's been writing to every week already has a name.
His.
He doesn't know he's writing to her, either.
By the time they find out, it's too late to stop what's already happening. Far too dangerous for anyone to find out.
In an empty studio, in the middle of a rainstorm, she asks him: 'Am I the kind of girl who kisses a boy engaged to my sister?'
He doesn't answer.
So she asks: 'What are we?’
He told her not to fall in love with one piece.
She fell anyway.
And he was never far behind.
