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.

GO ON YOUR KNEES, ALPHA.
He was wrong.
Six years ago, Pete Leadsilver had everything an Alpha could want. Power, a respected pack and a future already written for him.
Then he met me.
What began as a game became a mistake I would spend years trying to survive. When I told him I was carrying his child, Pete chose not to believe me. He rejected me, humiliated me, and allowed the people around him to make sure I understood that there was no place for me in his world.
So I disappeared.
I took the secret of my pregnancy with me and built a life far away from the Alpha who had broken me.
Six years later, Pete finds me again. Only this time, he isn't the man with all the power. His pack is dying, his people are running out of time, and I may be the only person capable of saving them.
But I'm no longer the woman Pete remembers. And beside me is a little boy who carries far too much of Pete's face to be a coincidence.
Our reunion should have been about a cure, but instead, it becomes the beginning of a war neither of us saw coming.
Because Pete's greatest danger isn't outside his pack.
It's inside his own family.
Old resentment turns into manipulation. Loyalty becomes betrayal. And the people Pete trusts begin hiding secrets that threaten to destroy everything he's built.
Then someone comes for the people I love.
Suddenly, this is no longer about whether Pete can earn my forgiveness.
It's about whether he can keep me alive.
Whether he can protect the son he never knew existed.
Whether he can uncover the truth before the people closest to him destroy everything he has finally learned to value.
Along the way, we'll lose people we thought would always stand beside us, I'll be forced to confront wounds I've spent six years trying to bury, and the family we're slowly building will be tested in ways neither of us could have imagined.
Because sometimes love isn't the hardest thing to find. Sometimes it's the hardest thing to survive.
Pete once believed power meant never needing anyone and I once believed surviving him meant leaving him behind.
We were both wrong.
Because some bonds refuse to die, some betrayals cut deeper than rejection and some people don't come back into your life to give you a second chance.
They come back to show you exactly what you almost lost.
Pete Leadsilver lost me once.
This time, he'll have to fight to keep the family he never knew he needed.

Werewolf's Heartsong
I looked strong, and my wolf was absolutely gorgeous.
I looked to where my sister is sitting and her and the rest of her posse have jealous fury on their faces. I then look up to where my parents are and they're glaring at my picture, if looks alone could set shit on fire.
I smirk at them then I turn away to face my opponent, everything else falling away but what was here on this platform. I take my skirt and cardigan off. Standing in just my tank and capris, I move into a fighting position and wait for the signal to start -- To fight, to prove, and not hide myself anymore.

Accardi
“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.
