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.
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpOcSsBUVd
He scanned his surroundings, but there was no trace of modern civilization—only a wild, primitive landscape stretched before him.
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaeJ4WiIxkk
*Where the hell am I?* A wave of unease crashed over him.
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8ItL2GxXB
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.
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UxYOU7UA9
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.
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUz4UCxz4rv
Just as he was searching for a way out, a low growl shattered the silence.
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEv0pvOyqMd
He spun around and saw a group of massive, grotesque creatures lumbering out from the nearby woods.
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSTS8wFh64
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.
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpV9mQoTebh
*Ogres.* Brutal, savage monsters known for their cruelty.
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NoEKv1Vwf
At the forefront was the largest of them all—a hulking beast whose greedy, bloodthirsty gaze locked onto Lu Feng as it advanced.
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYKhv0X7YB
*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.
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJI05jpnWn
Then, by sheer chance, his fingers brushed against a crumpled piece of paper in his pocket—a fragment of a game log.
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr32Ga3gvFq
It looked like an ordinary scrap, but the moment he touched it, a faint tremor ran through his fingertips.
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVIfD1KAt9
Curious, he unfolded it and found densely packed text detailing crucial information about the laws governing two worlds.
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXZu2bcuZR
The words acted like a key, unlocking something deep within him.
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNock9JNJRo
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?*
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFadoypoqSc
Focusing his mind, he channeled his energy into activating the log fragment.
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90jLnWBDtq
In an instant, intricate symbols and text flashed before his eyes, piecing together into a coherent image in his mind.
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA91aqIeKej
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.
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQk2ezKiEx
*If this thing really works… I might just make it out alive.* A spark of hope ignited within him.
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRkekeiukw
Concentrating, he activated the Simulation Engine’s **3x Speed Mode**.
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO43WdMoaGo
Warmth spread from his fingertips, coursing through his body. His mental energy rapidly drained, but in exchange, a flood of knowledge filled his mind.
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDt6ZCYOU7q
With this power, he quickly grasped the essence of the **Basic Beast Taming Art**.
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPvHpmsJt0
Closing his eyes, he reached out with his senses, searching for nearby lifeforms.
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPxTSodXaK
And there it was—a faint, flickering presence in the shadows nearby.
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYwfI0ff35
A small, elusive creature, brimming with intelligence, as if it shared some inexplicable bond with him.
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kDdfEef0W
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."
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OF1CP8YCl
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.
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpb10egHnaT
A **Shadowstalker Cat**—an incredibly rare spirit beast.
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuyQMj0UoXN
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.
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bmYMNEn19
*"Contract established!"*
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqhkWkGCJg
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.
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSc6bfb2CS
But just as the bond solidified, the ogres closed in.
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuoFj7IErj9
The largest one, **Gromm**, roared and raised his massive stone hammer, preparing to strike.
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZzDNEUpzt
Lu Feng’s eyes hardened with resolve. Gripping the Shadowstalker Cat’s paw, he whispered, "Get ready. We fight."
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVgQBTYOHn
The cat let out a low growl, its form blurring before vanishing into a streak of black lightning.
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡved4dil9fn
Meanwhile, Lu Feng melted into the thick fog, his presence blending seamlessly with the environment.
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyYdy3yMPW
Gromm’s hammer came crashing down with enough force to shatter stone, the impact sending tremors through the ground.
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrmriBTsZg
Lu Feng barely dodged in time, adrenaline surging through his veins.
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsAFf8EnLr
*This isn’t a game anymore. One wrong move, and I’m dead.*
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeY5hmF4MPW
Through their mental link, he commanded the Shadowstalker Cat: *"Flank left—distract him!"*
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjRIoQ09OW
The cat responded with a fierce *"Mrow!"* before darting forward like a coiled spring released, its speed defying the eye.
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qzrqacHNz
**BOOM!**
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtgxk8BY9m
Gromm’s hammer cratered the ground where Lu Feng had stood moments earlier, debris flying everywhere.
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJnQKq9fQc
*Too close.*
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkm37oTE72
Seizing the opportunity, the Shadowstalker Cat struck—its razor-sharp claws slashing across Gromm’s thick calf.
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgB9reptcI
**"ROOOAAAR!"**
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypLsthYHAC
Gromm howled in pain, green blood gushing from the deep gashes. Enraged, he abandoned Lu Feng, turning his fury on the elusive feline.
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmcS4S6GgK
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.
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLBx9g7HTp
Lu Feng wasn’t idle either. Spotting a dim-witted ogre lagging behind, he hurled a rock and taunted, "Hey, ugly! Over here!"
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMRHEWHnAo
The ogre turned—just in time to take the stone square between the eyes.
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEsJymicH1
**"GRAAH!"**
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTunpGddNdN
Infuriated, it charged.
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwxiu7N4W5
*"Switch targets—take that one down!"* Lu Feng ordered.
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFki61D78E5
The Shadowstalker Cat disengaged from Gromm in a blur, pouncing on the new threat.
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBYFTZwof0
**SCHLICK!**
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslGRfNW5qm
Its claws found the ogre’s throat. The beast clutched its neck, choking on its own blood before collapsing.
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEdhpchsMU
*Dead.*
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMqonA4ksi
Lu Feng stared in shock. *Damn. This cat is no joke.*
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIoJGShaoa2
Gromm and the remaining ogres froze, realizing their prey wasn’t as helpless as they’d thought.
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PL4gDb8U3
**"Retreat!"** Gromm bellowed, unwilling to lose more of his kin. Clutching his wounded leg, he and his group fled into the forest.
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbq6yTXakk
Only when their footsteps faded did Lu Feng finally collapse, gasping for breath. His clothes were drenched in sweat, his nerves frayed.
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1vzLpMnw3
The Shadowstalker Cat padded over, purring as it nuzzled his hand.
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJzZUtXvPq
"Heh… good job, little guy." He scratched behind its ears, relief washing over him.
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWuzxN03fe
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.
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplESRKWqJQ
*I need to find shelter and get stronger. Next time, I might not be so lucky.*
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdizZY02JF
Just as he was lost in thought, an aged but robust voice spoke from behind him—unexpected and eerily calm.
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdKj8CDVhv
"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."
