Lu Feng jolted awake from his computer screen, only to find himself sprawled in an utterly unfamiliar and desolate place. Thick fog swirled around him, obscuring most of his vision, though he could vaguely make out rolling hills in the distance and a dense forest. A chilling wind swept through the air, making him shiver involuntarily.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ783oiDpa2E
He scanned his surroundings, but there was no trace of modern civilization—only a wild, primitive landscape stretched before him.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUrkQ83U2N
*Where the hell am I?* A wave of unease crashed over him.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJuwS49CuV
He tried to recall what had happened, but his mind was filled only with fragmented images of *The Chronicles of Ten Thousand Spirits*, the game he had been testing. He remembered a sudden surge of electricity coursing through his keyboard, then—nothing. The next thing he knew, he was here, in this unknown world.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkewP6saqug
He attempted to stand, but his legs felt weak. The unfamiliar environment left him disoriented and terrified. The terrain was nothing like Earth’s, and the air hummed with an energy he had never encountered before—strangely familiar yet alien, as if he had sensed it in a dream.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cej4t8IU9
Just as he was searching for a way out, a low growl shattered the silence.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzhWCSou8b
He spun around and saw a group of massive, grotesque creatures lumbering out from the nearby woods.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpm7qKc4xL
Each stood over three meters tall, their bulging muscles covered in rough, mottled skin. Their faces were hideous, twisted with malice, and they wielded crude stone hammers and spears.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN393R1ugaA
*Ogres.* Brutal, savage monsters known for their cruelty.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkYoCpsQ76
At the forefront was the largest of them all—a hulking beast whose greedy, bloodthirsty gaze locked onto Lu Feng as it advanced.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0GdcrazPy
*What kind of nightmare is this?!* Panic surged through him. He scrambled backward, desperate for cover, but the barren landscape offered no refuge. Forcing himself to stay calm, he racked his brain for a solution.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡueR4EeE2Sh
Then, by sheer chance, his fingers brushed against a crumpled piece of paper in his pocket—a fragment of a game log.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡluzD2w5fDs
It looked like an ordinary scrap, but the moment he touched it, a faint tremor ran through his fingertips.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4Xg7VcWKL
Curious, he unfolded it and found densely packed text detailing crucial information about the laws governing two worlds.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISQAzYV2Ue
The words acted like a key, unlocking something deep within him.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm57ksoDvJP
Suddenly, an inexplicable power surged through his body—one that felt eerily connected to his in-game character. A thought struck him: *What if this log holds the answer to surviving this nightmare?*
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNtUpezihO
Focusing his mind, he channeled his energy into activating the log fragment.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhW8WQibhN
In an instant, intricate symbols and text flashed before his eyes, piecing together into a coherent image in his mind.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQWeAGHxxh
He understood now—this was the **"Simulation Engine,"** a mysterious tool capable of accelerating the development of cultivation techniques and the evolution of spirit beasts.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVakZ12FdX
*If this thing really works… I might just make it out alive.* A spark of hope ignited within him.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJvwmVYu59
Concentrating, he activated the Simulation Engine’s **3x Speed Mode**.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXWTHeN1ke
Warmth spread from his fingertips, coursing through his body. His mental energy rapidly drained, but in exchange, a flood of knowledge filled his mind.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8zyEJ2oOm
With this power, he quickly grasped the essence of the **Basic Beast Taming Art**.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqxjk9ZJwO
Closing his eyes, he reached out with his senses, searching for nearby lifeforms.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhQz93USxU
And there it was—a faint, flickering presence in the shadows nearby.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrwQwbBSOb
A small, elusive creature, brimming with intelligence, as if it shared some inexplicable bond with him.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9Z918rRgY
Lu Feng opened his eyes, his gaze locking onto the source of that energy. Softly, he called out, "Come out. I know you're there."
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtm3iEwcL4
After a brief pause, a sleek, obsidian-black cat with gleaming eyes emerged from the darkness. Its movements were fluid, almost ethereal, as if it could vanish into thin air at any moment.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5nC6oj5kK
A **Shadowstalker Cat**—an incredibly rare spirit beast.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CDBr9q9V9
Taking a deep breath, Lu Feng focused his energy, attempting to form a contract with the creature. He extended his hand, gently stroking the cat’s head and neck. A warm, harmonious energy flowed between them.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeVa6Mu6ou
*"Contract established!"*
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡruD53oT4Iw
Elation surged through him. He could feel a new power merging with his own—the Shadowstalker Cat’s spiritual energy intertwining with his, making him stronger than before.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRuRFJ9liF1
But just as the bond solidified, the ogres closed in.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKTWkI4crO
The largest one, **Gromm**, roared and raised his massive stone hammer, preparing to strike.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTmfHKulUw
Lu Feng’s eyes hardened with resolve. Gripping the Shadowstalker Cat’s paw, he whispered, "Get ready. We fight."
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrK2dv5vimx
The cat let out a low growl, its form blurring before vanishing into a streak of black lightning.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXeOE84jLj
Meanwhile, Lu Feng melted into the thick fog, his presence blending seamlessly with the environment.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehmrutQbWX
Gromm’s hammer came crashing down with enough force to shatter stone, the impact sending tremors through the ground.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKb2HbxYZK
Lu Feng barely dodged in time, adrenaline surging through his veins.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiX3jSAmVRO
*This isn’t a game anymore. One wrong move, and I’m dead.*
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnj8rkMPQ5
Through their mental link, he commanded the Shadowstalker Cat: *"Flank left—distract him!"*
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdc4jnCS3Qb
The cat responded with a fierce *"Mrow!"* before darting forward like a coiled spring released, its speed defying the eye.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgy97QFQved
**BOOM!**
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLNrHw3FVV
Gromm’s hammer cratered the ground where Lu Feng had stood moments earlier, debris flying everywhere.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33KRyCsFZV
*Too close.*
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHaVyia9yy
Seizing the opportunity, the Shadowstalker Cat struck—its razor-sharp claws slashing across Gromm’s thick calf.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNxTjlweV3
**"ROOOAAAR!"**
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvv4WGEhWdm
Gromm howled in pain, green blood gushing from the deep gashes. Enraged, he abandoned Lu Feng, turning his fury on the elusive feline.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTOzfxyFXP
But the Shadowstalker Cat was too fast, weaving between Gromm’s legs, striking at joints and weak points. The other ogres tried to intervene, but their attacks only added to the chaos, nearly hitting their leader instead.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf47XxjCkaz
Lu Feng wasn’t idle either. Spotting a dim-witted ogre lagging behind, he hurled a rock and taunted, "Hey, ugly! Over here!"
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Nl16X3GDy
The ogre turned—just in time to take the stone square between the eyes.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QJHFsZub8
**"GRAAH!"**
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ601RmUgnu2
Infuriated, it charged.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPr9i0O0u4
*"Switch targets—take that one down!"* Lu Feng ordered.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVtwoihuox
The Shadowstalker Cat disengaged from Gromm in a blur, pouncing on the new threat.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4SSx23ELvQ
**SCHLICK!**
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgpmG1v8Ay
Its claws found the ogre’s throat. The beast clutched its neck, choking on its own blood before collapsing.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHx6APZAsS
*Dead.*
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzL72m5Is17
Lu Feng stared in shock. *Damn. This cat is no joke.*
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGs41tD0KUt
Gromm and the remaining ogres froze, realizing their prey wasn’t as helpless as they’d thought.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhfjp4ijQ5
**"Retreat!"** Gromm bellowed, unwilling to lose more of his kin. Clutching his wounded leg, he and his group fled into the forest.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqCOMyHeFE
Only when their footsteps faded did Lu Feng finally collapse, gasping for breath. His clothes were drenched in sweat, his nerves frayed.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbipwHh06yZ
The Shadowstalker Cat padded over, purring as it nuzzled his hand.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLNoIZ2tPG
"Heh… good job, little guy." He scratched behind its ears, relief washing over him.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bKKTnf0oz
This victory was thanks to the **Simulation Engine** and his newfound bond with the spirit beast. But he knew the truth—he was still weak. In this world of dangers, he was barely surviving.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyeWghre8ZK
*I need to find shelter and get stronger. Next time, I might not be so lucky.*
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFnBXIoy4o
Just as he was lost in thought, an aged but robust voice spoke from behind him—unexpected and eerily calm.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvgzqpyozx
"Well, well… not bad, kid. To tame a spirit beast so soon after arriving in the rift between worlds? You’ve got quite the luck on your side."
