“Offering number 1… Failed…”
“Offering number 2… Failed…”
“Numbers 3… 4… 5…”
Jack closed another door with a dark expression, rubbing the blood and meat fragments off the soles of his shoes on the carpet. As he walked, he cursed the foolish and worthless offerings in his heart.
He wore a white half-mask on his face, partially concealing the monstrous anger that now filled his expression. However, Jack’s frustration was understandable, given that they had been lurking and waiting for this moment for over twenty years.
They had patiently selected the most suitable specimens from the ignorant and dirty human infants, meticulously nurturing these healthy and exquisite offerings. They were raised in a sterile environment, devoid of worries and fears, with no knowledge of what fear meant. Only in such pure and unblemished vessels could the seeds bestowed by the great Mother Goddess Daeis be born.
Then, when the stars dimmed and the blood-red crescent moon rose, the great Mother Goddess Daeis would bestow the seeds of death and nightmares in the deepest darkness.
Jack murmured the revered name of the Mother Goddess and prayed that the next door wouldn’t reveal a floor covered in meat fragments. He was fed up with the disappointment and pain of failure, even if it was just for a second, he longed to see a glimmer of success.
The next one was number 6.
There were no signs on the door, and the smell of blood in the corridor was too strong to distinguish any abnormal odors in the room. Jack listened for any sounds behind the door, hoping to hear the satisfying groans and screams.
Jack had higher expectations for Offering number 6 since, even among the carefully selected offerings, number 6 was of the highest quality. A healthy and vibrant body, pure and vigorous vitality, and that handsome face, which was so beautiful that it could have been taken as a collector’s item by one of the elders, if Mother Goddess’s offerings allowed any imperfections.
Jack thought about the rare black eyes of Offering number 6, and he swallowed hard, his breath quickening.
The blood-red crescent always aroused the hidden desires of living beings. Fortunately, his faith was devout enough, and he quickly dispelled the inappropriate thoughts and focused on his work.
There was complete silence behind the door, and Jack’s heart sank. He had experienced such great ups and downs of emotions, and he cursed out loud. He regretted not dismembering and draining the fresh blood from number 6 long ago, which would have saved the precious resources the organization had invested in nurturing him.
Jack cursed and unlocked the door with a key. He could already guess what a mess lay inside.
However, the moment he opened the door, a powerful punch hit Jack’s nose, and his white mask flew off his face. The sound of his nasal bone breaking was particularly crisp, and he couldn’t even feel the pain before being grabbed by his hair and ruthlessly slammed to the ground – back of the head, temple, forehead. Each blow left Jack dazed, and his vision blurred into darkness.
He was looking at him…
The red moon! It was a red moon!
A new crescent rose slowly in his consciousness, blood-red, incredibly close, and terrifying. He suddenly realized that it was the reflection in the assailant’s eyes.

Jack’s eyes widened suddenly, and his consciousness sank into the depths of ecstasy and terror.
His skin took on a strange, pale, waxen color. His pupils dilated, and his eyeballs rolled upwards, only showing the muddy yellow sclera. His chest was still faintly rising and falling, but his limbs were stiff and cold, as if in death. Even when the attacker let go and kicked him to the side, he maintained the final pose before losing consciousness.
“Tsk.” The attacker, Offering number 6, Xu Yintang, rubbed his fingertips.
The touch of the prey’s skin, unlike the cold and slippery human skin, made him uncomfortable. The dry electronic sound of the system also disturbed his long-restrained excitement.
[System Prompt: Congratulations, the player has acquired the skill “Blood Moon Gaze.”]

When Xu Yintang checked the system information, the little creature he had given birth to crawled over to his feet. Originally, the cub was patiently waiting on his arm for food, but perhaps his punch had been too strong, causing the cub to be thrown against the wall. It took some time for the cub to crawl back.
It even brought the mask that the prey had been wearing and waved its tentacles with a pleasing gesture.
“Mommy, I want to eat.”
Xu Yintang took the mask, pointed to the prey on the ground, and asked, “Can you eat this?”
“…” The little creature stuck its tentacles into the prey’s eyes and stirred for a few seconds before providing feedback such as “can eat,” “not very tasty,” and “wants to eat something delicious.”
“Eating this will do.” Xu Yintang picked up the little creature and pressed it against the prey’s face, kindly advising, “Good kids shouldn’t be picky eaters.”
This time, he didn’t need to count to three; the little creature’s mouthparts and tentacles quickly extended, biting the prey’s skin and “flowing” into the prey’s body through every orifice, including the mouth, ears, nose, and eyes.
“Eat… Mommy, I’m eating…”
If it were a real child, it would probably be scared to the point of tears.
Xu Yintang touched his face, feeling that he shouldn’t be that frightening.
After some consideration, he chose the name “Little Darling,” which sounded the most comfortable when pronounced. He concluded, “Little Darling is really a good boy for his mother.”
The little one, trembling, responded with an emotion that was both close and fearful, emanating from beneath the human skin.
[System Prompt: The player has captured a pet *1, do you want to bind it to the player’s information?]
[Yes/No]
Only pets and items bound to the player’s information can be brought out of the instance. Unbound items can only be used within the current instance and will automatically disappear after completing the instance.
Xu Yintang confirmed the binding information without hesitation. Little Darling was his hard-earned offspring, and in terms of item scraping, Little Darling quietly and quickly completed its meal. Under the “Mommy’s” intimidation, no matter how much it disliked the food, it ate everything in the bowl, leaving only a few hair and tooth fragments.
After finishing the meal, its skin appeared much fuller and more resilient than before. Its mouthparts moved to reveal sharp, intricate teeth, and its entire body swelled to the size of a human head. The fleshy mass squirmed around as if a child were wiping its mouth while shaking its head.
Even though he had eaten and grown stronger, the pet panel displayed an increase in level from ‘c’ to ‘c+.’ However, “Mommy” only threw a slightly dissatisfied glance his way, and Little Darling couldn’t help but be filled with fear. He curled up into a small, trembling ball, crawling closer cautiously, attempting to gauge “Mommy’s” mood.
Mommy…
Mommy loves it…
So scary…
Xu Yintang looked down at the dirty lump at his feet. Undigested pieces of meat and blood were embedded in the crevices, making the messed-up lump of clay even more unbearable. Well, there was only so much he could expect from his child. He’d teach it gradually in the future.
Xu Yintang lifted Little Darling through his sleeve, squeezed it into the pocket of his robe, and patted the tentacle that peeped out of the pocket’s edge. “Good boy,” he said softly.
He taught the youngster to express gratitude to the prey on the ground—without the generous contribution from the prey, how could a predator continue its life? After feeding the young one, it was time to go out and explore.
Xu Yintang put on his mask, lowered the hood of his robe, hiding his face in the shadows. Casual observers wouldn’t be able to tell whether there was a person or a ghost beneath the robe.
Since there was still some time left since the instance had just started, he needed to make the most of it and find a few more prey.
After all…
He had another one inside his belly.
Xu Yintang touched his lower abdomen, even though his belly healed and flattened after Little Darling’s birth, leaving only a raised scar, he could still feel something inside. The second child was sleeping in sweet and warm dreams, not in a hurry to come into the world.
So, besides stocking up on supplies, Xu Yintang planned to see if there was a way to deliver without pain or complications. Little Darling’s birth had been quite a hassle, and if possible, Xu Yintang hoped the second child would arrive as smoothly as using a restroom.
As if sensing what “Mommy” was comparing him to, the youngest that was still in his belly wasn’t pleased and gave a little kick to Xu Yintang’s nerves. It felt like a sharp, painful stab in his head.
“Alright, alright, you’re both lovely babies.” Xu Yintang gently reassured while rubbing his belly. This child, unlike Little Darling, seemed to enjoy the affection from “Mommy.” After a few soothing words from Xu Yintang, the child hummed gently and calmed down.
It actively transmitted soothing and peaceful emotions, effectively relieving Xu Yintang’s headache.
“Good baby.” Xu Yintang praised this one as well. He left the room and locked the door after switching clothing, and putting on the robe of the guard. The shadowy figure, like a ghost, silently disappeared into the depths of the long corridor.
Author’s Note –
Although our sugar daddy gave birth to one and still carries another, he’s still the top [nods].
The name Little Darling is very good, quite special, and extremely good [confident].
So the matter of naming have nothing to do with us at all 🙂
The author’s note at the end denying the name lol

so… he’s the seme but he gave birth to one and is still carrying another…? But ‘he’ called him mommy can’t the author change him into a uke pls???
The main character is a seme, the ML is the uke.
sobs I’m getting mix feelings because I prefer a shou mc but this novel concept is just too good, what to do I can’t decide whether to continue reading or to drop it QAQ
Xu Yintang is “offering number 6”. What an ominous number ah!
Actually, ‘6’ is one of the-if not the most- auspicious number in Chinese culture, as it sounds just like the word meaning ‘smooth journey’ or something. Unlike in Western cultures, 666 is synonymous with ‘awesome,’ ‘amazing,’ or ‘smooth’.
Thanks for the translation!
What a cute gong, calling himself mommy 😂😆😁
Wao! We sure are going for a ride!
This story looks really interesting
I love gore with beauty if it makes sense??
