[Childbearing Story, where Beast Husbands are merely tools. Omnivores, join in!]
*********
In the Beast World Continent, the third-largest Beast Forest—Senyu, a little white mouse peaked its head out of a burrow from the edge of the grass.
After confirming that there were no dangers around, it quickly crawled out and ran towards the distance.
As it ran, its paws gradually turned into a pair of snow-white human hands, and its legs into human legs... until it finally became a stark naked girl with white hair and stunning beauty.
Her figure was slender and delicate, and her pitch-black eyes were full of wariness and confusion.
Suddenly, she stopped in her tracks and took cover behind a tree that required two people to embrace. With a flick of her finger, a screen that only she could see appeared.

…
After checking the system screen for what seemed like the umpteenth time, Sally confirmed again that she was not dreaming.
The most urgent matter at hand was to become pregnant?!
What a ridiculous and unspeakable situation, yet she dared not ignore it.
With only 1 hour of life remaining!
She couldn't afford to gamble!
She opened the system again, clicked on the store tab, and apart from the shiny, unlimited supply of Pregnancy Elixir, everything else was greyed out with question marks.
There was a dark period on Earth with no sun at all.
She was born during that dark period. Her mother was ill and died giving birth to her.
The woman who raised her was another who had given birth to a child, only for it to be stillborn.
That woman was the main reason why she wanted to return to Earth.
She wanted to see her smiling face once more.
She took a Pregnancy Elixir from the System Store and swallowed it.
Within one hour, she needed to find a male Beastman and mate with him to ensure pregnancy.
The screen had a map icon, so she opened the map.
Surprisingly, it even had live footage, but the actual footage covered only a hundred meters around her; beyond that distance, it showed only route markers.
According to the map's real-time footage, a snake had crawled into the rat hole she had just emerged from.
This mode gave her a feeling of playing a game.
Then she would treat it like a game, so that when it came time to carry a child and earn points, she wouldn't resist so much.
She genuinely liked children, but not forced pregnancies. She wanted to bear the child of a person she loved, a product of mutual affection.
Forget it, that's an idealistic fantasy. Surviving in reality is far more important.
With the map opened, Sally continued to run forward.
Suddenly she stopped.
On the map, a green light spot had appeared out of the blue.
She zoomed in on the spot and saw what it was— a man.
This was the Beast World Continent; there couldn't be a pure Human here.
In other words, that man was a Beastman.
Good, the pregnancy target has appeared!
The distance is only a hundred meters, and she'll be there in no time.
She didn't notice he was injured when she first checked the map. In the short span of a hundred meters, he had already collapsed into a pool of blood, barely clinging to life.
Sally's heart kept sinking. No way, he's about to die.
When Sally turned his body over, it revealed a face charred and disfigured by burns.
Sally drew in a sharp breath.
This...this is too difficult to stomach.
She glanced at her remaining lifespan—twenty-nine minutes, no time to be picky.
First things first!
Sally pulled up some grass to cover his face, out of sight, out of mind and then began to strip off his clothes.
They were black, coarse hemp, tattered and torn.
The wound on his belly was the worst, a bloody mess of flesh.
He was beyond saving.
Sally covered the abdominal wound with grass, hoping he could hold on to that last breath, and then she could leave him with a child.
The man had a decent figure, narrow waist, and long legs, beautiful and 'appetizing'!
Ignoring the dreadful upper body, Sally bit down hard on her molars, racing against the God of Death for time...
Time passed...
The man's head lolled to the side, motionless!
Sally also exhaled a long sigh of relief, without the slightest thought of checking if he was dead or not, and took off running.
She found two large banana-like leaves and some flexible vines for clothes and a belt to cover her stark naked body.
By now I must be pregnant.
Opening the system, I checked the status of my body: Pregnant, life countdown paused.
The pause was dangerously close, with only 3 seconds left!
Sally let out a breath of relief.
Next, she needed to find a safe place to give birth. No matter what, this child has to be born; otherwise, she won't survive.
But the forest is fraught with danger, clearly not a suitable place.
Sally hasn't given birth before; she will need assistance.
This body has its origins, but clearly, it met with some misfortune in the forest.
A strong sense of hunger came from my belly.
My body was reminding me that I urgently needed to replenish nutrients.
Sally had to return to the tribe to find the main family, if only to get something to eat first.
Then she transformed back into a small white rat and swiftly ran towards the edge of the forest.
The beastman corpse they used as a tool for pregnancy, once she had left the forest, suddenly turned into a gigantic black panther, large as a bull!
Though its head was wounded, it was regenerating at a visible speed, and the basin-sized wound on its abdomen was rapidly healing as well.
It had a pair of golden vertical pupils, dangerously focused on a single snow-white hair left in the pool of blood.
...
The Senyu Beast Forest served as the boundary line: the East was the Eastern District, and the West was the Western District.
The beastmen of the Eastern District mainly consisted of fierce birds and ferocious beasts, while those of the Western District were of smaller-bodied Beast Clans.
Conflicts were frequent in the Eastern District, and wars of annihilation occurred from time to time. The Western District was relatively peaceful and slow to develop.
Rat People Clan settlement in the Western District.
Sally transformed back into her human form and walked through the settlement, observing the primitive dress of the Rat People, which made her leaf and vine attire seem completely in place!
But... isn't this a little too extreme?
The early stages of human civilization?
The phase of eating raw meat and drinking blood?
Looking at their food, it was indeed raw meat, dripping with blood.
Her mouth twitched involuntarily and a wave of nausea hit, bending her over as she vomited!
But since she had been starving for too long and hadn't had any food or drink, naturally, nothing much came up.
However, her vomiting, which should have been unimportant, made all those who had previously ignored her turn their heads in unison.
Under their collective gaze, Sally felt a surge of unease.
An older man approached her, "Are you female? Whose family are you from?"
"My last name is Millet, the daughter of Auro," Sally replied truthfully, based on the information provided by the system.
"Since when did Auro have a daughter? I've never heard of it," said a young man with a chunk of bloody raw meat in his hand, eating as he came towards her.
