He groaned. "I can hear your heart, little one. Does that excite you?" He can hear my heart! She had to clear her throat before she could answer. "It's the way you talk." One of his claws caressed her cheek. He leaned down close, those golden eyes gleaming, his face a shadow. Her breath caught. "I could lick you again, make you scream with pleasure.

I shivered in the darkness, the air stale, damp and cold making goosebumps appear on my bare skin. The low rumbles and huffs which were coming from behind made me a little scared, and I knew the beast was still there, watching me with interest. I knew screaming and calling for help was futile since my voice was already hoarse from trying to scream the past few hours, but the only thing to be heard was my echo, and the snarl that followed next. I heard it shift and felt its soft fur brush against my body and skin. I swallowed hard and held in my voice. The more it leaned in, the more my heart beat wildly, and I tried to move away from it. It's warm breath brushed against my cold skin making me shiver in response. I couldn't see but I had an idea what it wanted. I kept resisting but it was much stronger than I was. It showed its dominance as a way to make me submit. I knew I wasn't strong enough to fight or escape it, but that didn't mean I was going to willingly do what the beast wanted, at least at that minute. But everything changed when I felt it's big, long, rough, tongue brush against my nape, that's when I knew. The beast wanted to breed with me.

《Summoned Apex 》is a fantasy novel that masterfully integrates elements of system-based progression, summoning artistry, and infinite-world exploration. The protagonist, Leon, transcends into the realm of Canglan—a primary world besieged by abyssal demons—where he begins his journey as a novice demon hunter. He soon awakens a unique innate ability known as "True Summoning," enabling him to call forth combat guardians such as the Goddess of Dawn, with the distinctive trait that these summoned entities can themselves learn and evolve their skills. Through a systematic advantage often referred to as a "golden finger," Leon can draw abilities and artifacts from diverse fictional universes—including League of Legends, Dota 2, and Resident Evil—to continuously enhance his power. The central narrative follows Leon as he undergoes the Abyssal Trials, venturing into multiple深渊 worlds such as the Vampire Abyss and the Biohazard Abyss. In the vampire-infested realm, he allies with fellow hunters to confront the ancient Blood Patriarch, securing the pivotal artifact "Fallen Light." Upon joining the Church's Abyssal Knights, he is assigned to the declining Song of Longing battalion, where he gradually unlocks advanced capabilities like skill fusion and bloodline evolution. In the later stages, Leon infiltrates the Blood Umbrella Corporation—a branch of the notorious Umbrella Corporation—in an attempt to seize control of a viral laboratory and develop the enigmatic "Kingdom of Heaven Virus," all while navigating tensions with the resistance organization known as Mount Shu. Standout features include inventive skill combinations—such as merging "Solar Flare" with "Tibbers’ Wrath" to form the platinum-tier ability "Wrath of the Blazing Sun"—a dark and intricate worldbuilding that emphasizes intellectual strategy, and the protagonist’s journey of growth as he harnesses the power of multiple abyssal realms through his ever-evolving system.
