In the year 2631 of the interstellar era, a huge vortex appeared in the sky, then vanished a day later. No one knew why it had appeared or what effect it had.
At first, everyone was terrified, thinking the end of the world had come. But nothing happened for the next few years, and people gradually forgot the horrifying event.
Then the first person witnessed someone beside them being eaten by an insect covered in eyes. The insect gradually transformed into the victim's appearance, and the Eerie era began.
At some point, the world became home to a group of powerful Eerie beings whose morality was unclear. Some looked human, others had strange forms, and even a tree growing by the roadside might be a concealed Eerie being. Humans couldn't tell them apart.
Thankfully, there was still hope. Humanity discovered that some people awakened special abilities while fighting the Eerie, giving them a way to fight back.
After more than a century of exploration, the Eerie Response Bureau created files on every Eerie. The ten most dangerous were classified as Calamities.
Nineteen-year-old Song Qingyue awakened an ability and remembered her past life. She was left speechless.
If she said that the Calamities were game characters she'd designed in her previous life, and that she was, in a sense, their mother, would the Eerie Response Bureau kill her?
To avoid trouble, Song Qingyue decided to keep a low profile and be a good citizen. She'd aim to become a squad leader in three years, deputy director in five, and take out the director in ten so she could finally be in charge.
Slippery, soft tentacles emerged from behind and wrapped around Song Qingyue's waist. Eyes grew across their elaborate, alluring patterns. The Calamity rested its head against her back and said sweetly, "Mother, why worry? Just say the word, and I'll make every one of your wishes come true. Every single one."
Soft, tender green plant tendrils trembled as they wound around Song Qingyue's fair, smooth feet, coiling together to form a pair of shoes. "Mother, don't waste your attention on people who don't deserve it. Look at me."
A man with nine snow-white tails and blood-red eyes wrapped himself around her and gently kissed her. "Mother, I will bring you victory."
There were also earrings, a cute girl, a seductive beauty, and a man with a tail.
Every Eerie gazed at her with fervent eyes. She was their mother, their creator, their master, their one and only master.
Master, part-time mother, Song Qingyue: ...
She smacked away the tentacles, tails, vines, and the rest, one by one. This was all their fault. If she didn't have a bunch of troublesome kids, why would she want a promotion? Clearly, being a lazy couch potato was the true meaning of life!
