I Pretended To Be Dead And Ran Away (22 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 24
In the Empire, stones imbued with special abilities were often traded secretly.
Holding such a stone allowed one to use the ability stored within it.
These were known as mana stones—the remnants left behind after the ancient generation capable of using magic had long vanished.
However, since the power within the stone could only be used once, those who wished to wield it continuously resorted to absorbing the mana stone into their bodies.
Of course, absorbing mana stones was strictly illegal.
No one in their right mind would spend an astronomical fortune on a mana stone just to use it once and throw it away.
Thus, whenever anyone acquired a mana stone, they would forcibly absorb it into themselves by any means necessary.
Crown Prince Tanasis had absorbed a mana stone containing four fire-based abilities.
It had been an unavoidable choice, given his unstable mother, his sisters, and his father, the Emperor.
To survive as Crown Prince, Tanasis needed something distinctive—like the power of fire.
Yet, like most people, he couldn’t control the ability he’d gained.
Felix was no different.
Over his harsh life, he too had absorbed a mana stone—prepared to sacrifice even his own lifespan—to eliminate his father.
Thanks to this, he gained abilities unlike any ordinary human.
And now he was suffering severe side effects.
The Villainous Demon Lord Laid an Egg for Her (Female-Dominated)
Several months after transmigrating into a book, Yu Wu found herself facing the demon lord Li You, who could no longer conceal his dragon horns. With one hand on her aching waist and the other gripping a sharp sword, she stared at him.
The demon lord’s eyes were red with fury:
“This is all your doing! Today, I won’t rest until I kill you!”
Yu Wu rubbed her temples. Putting aside the taboo against bloodshed during pregnancy, wasn’t it this very man who willingly walked into her trap that day?!
Warnings:
- Male pregnancy.
- Height ratios are set to mirror typical male-female height proportions.
- Characters include a foot-loving demon lord and an eldest daughter from an immortal family’s concubine lineage.

Uuuh, Tanasis, dude, I think you should’ve come clean with Reniel and tell her the whole truth rather than keeping silence and going around. That won’t do well on the long run, Reniel might assumed he betray her trust when in fact he was well intended and wanted to return her back to her family.
Kek. Ianathas, careful in there. You’re gravitating toward Reniel and by the time you realize, it’ll be far too late.
Poor Reniel, Felix’s teasing antics never failed to flustered and made her scared for her life. Meanwhile Felix found her fear as a delicious delicacy, the madman.

So Reniel apparently lost all of her memory prior entering the orphanage? Dude, that sounds so suspicious. It’s less like Reniel ran away after finding out horrible secret of imperial family and more like she was deliberately kidnapped and tossed into the orphanage, losing her memory after a traumatic experience.
