... es on that painting made by his cousin as soon as he saw it in the Council Hall.

Privately, the old Chief of Staff pulled Cui Yanjin aside and said, "If that painting by the Master of the Princess were more detailed, it could serve as a terrain map for the Ministry to reference for water management."

And then I was through—

Normally, monster-type creatures don’t just pop up in some random place—let alone a human place—out of the blue, and without notice.
Yes, if we’re talking ‘normally’, monsters belong more to places like remote, hostile grounds: they ought to be from dark, nasty forests, old caves, or abandoned, ancient ruins.
As I said, it was only so long as we spoke of the usual deal, however. For better or worse, I wasn’t your regular mob.
So, forget about all the remote, uneasy places humans hardly go to—all the abandoned forests, caves, or dungeons I, a monster, should have been from—and picture a bright, lively family restaurant, in an oh-so-peaceful human village. A restaurant where people ate, chatted, and jested together, all having a good time, blissfully oblivious to the fact that, very soon, I would be cutting them all down.

By magic, a monster-type creature spawned in such a place. It was me.
So far, for the few seconds I had been living, it was quite the good life… I got to listen to a fantastic story being told and shared a cool moment with people.
However! Following an uncertain course of events, I happened to be put up against a wall, with a sword aimed at my chest, before I was mercilessly killed.

I, a unique monster, just spawned in that restaurant, with no clue regarding what was going on.
All I knew was that I wanted to live and survive.
Also, I knew I wasn’t your regular kind of monster.
Thankfully, I’d been granted unique abilities before I showed up.
That is how I managed to survive.

Please, Alpha.”“I like that,” He cupped my jaw. “Sounds like something I want to hear when I'm deep inside you.”I let out an angry, frustrated sigh.“So, why do you keep depriving us of this?” he continued, “Why can't you give us this?”“But, why are you doing this, Alpha? Can't you leave when I say so?”“No!” He shot back. “I hate the idea of anyone else having you. I despise the idea of any man having a taste of you. If I don't have you, no one else can.
