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.
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYKcCJpNGp
He scanned his surroundings, but there was no trace of modern civilization—only a wild, primitive landscape stretched before him.
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEb8cyIkqgU
*Where the hell am I?* A wave of unease crashed over him.
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUex2yq3Jp
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.
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlDW9M8wT7
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.
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jLxNlzqfq
Just as he was searching for a way out, a low growl shattered the silence.
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDo1Akp1b0
He spun around and saw a group of massive, grotesque creatures lumbering out from the nearby woods.
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KN33kac7x
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.
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqC4D63AkX
*Ogres.* Brutal, savage monsters known for their cruelty.
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKLAmFPCZT
At the forefront was the largest of them all—a hulking beast whose greedy, bloodthirsty gaze locked onto Lu Feng as it advanced.
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡls4XpczeXi
*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.
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡju3J0JtIEL
Then, by sheer chance, his fingers brushed against a crumpled piece of paper in his pocket—a fragment of a game log.
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4S7PnVvHb
It looked like an ordinary scrap, but the moment he touched it, a faint tremor ran through his fingertips.
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHKx7KRskJ
Curious, he unfolded it and found densely packed text detailing crucial information about the laws governing two worlds.
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9f0WX40CF
The words acted like a key, unlocking something deep within him.
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCaurct9ufy
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?*
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRUGx4BKtK
Focusing his mind, he channeled his energy into activating the log fragment.
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEZhFiDAZR
In an instant, intricate symbols and text flashed before his eyes, piecing together into a coherent image in his mind.
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1IUVqyInU
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.
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRxGpN3TmO
*If this thing really works… I might just make it out alive.* A spark of hope ignited within him.
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNihjOkzfkL
Concentrating, he activated the Simulation Engine’s **3x Speed Mode**.
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGv5zkjKER
Warmth spread from his fingertips, coursing through his body. His mental energy rapidly drained, but in exchange, a flood of knowledge filled his mind.
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwruC5YS8Q9
With this power, he quickly grasped the essence of the **Basic Beast Taming Art**.
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6INi3N4taB
Closing his eyes, he reached out with his senses, searching for nearby lifeforms.
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmZXD0XMiB
And there it was—a faint, flickering presence in the shadows nearby.
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJGKFUb71z
A small, elusive creature, brimming with intelligence, as if it shared some inexplicable bond with him.
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYXIXjDPDj
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."
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDyZ3ClDh9
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.
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmMwDZt1Ai
A **Shadowstalker Cat**—an incredibly rare spirit beast.
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhaFPnZM8wT
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.
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSvbjY7oUs
*"Contract established!"*
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJiWs0k2X0
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.
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbE564TuXzc
But just as the bond solidified, the ogres closed in.
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOyOuY0DET
The largest one, **Gromm**, roared and raised his massive stone hammer, preparing to strike.
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4BB21xBRr
Lu Feng’s eyes hardened with resolve. Gripping the Shadowstalker Cat’s paw, he whispered, "Get ready. We fight."
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12cuwFCBGZ
The cat let out a low growl, its form blurring before vanishing into a streak of black lightning.
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPnWmhJaGc
Meanwhile, Lu Feng melted into the thick fog, his presence blending seamlessly with the environment.
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObapmPeqMx
Gromm’s hammer came crashing down with enough force to shatter stone, the impact sending tremors through the ground.
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcUPPkxlJc
Lu Feng barely dodged in time, adrenaline surging through his veins.
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXT9IJWrbjh
*This isn’t a game anymore. One wrong move, and I’m dead.*
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlfzTT5brd
Through their mental link, he commanded the Shadowstalker Cat: *"Flank left—distract him!"*
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHpKyxWo82
The cat responded with a fierce *"Mrow!"* before darting forward like a coiled spring released, its speed defying the eye.
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQpb9M7XUU
**BOOM!**
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gO0JmEbHr
Gromm’s hammer cratered the ground where Lu Feng had stood moments earlier, debris flying everywhere.
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmeeEOniJXj
*Too close.*
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFRU3EFSUg
Seizing the opportunity, the Shadowstalker Cat struck—its razor-sharp claws slashing across Gromm’s thick calf.
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJfT78OTkG
**"ROOOAAAR!"**
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPuYuTVE6r0
Gromm howled in pain, green blood gushing from the deep gashes. Enraged, he abandoned Lu Feng, turning his fury on the elusive feline.
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNz2GRydig
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.
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMe4U72LW4
Lu Feng wasn’t idle either. Spotting a dim-witted ogre lagging behind, he hurled a rock and taunted, "Hey, ugly! Over here!"
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0oxzAU6zI
The ogre turned—just in time to take the stone square between the eyes.
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgPHkYWTEg
**"GRAAH!"**
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSqqpJn7tX
Infuriated, it charged.
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ315T3jard6
*"Switch targets—take that one down!"* Lu Feng ordered.
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRewaF151uT
The Shadowstalker Cat disengaged from Gromm in a blur, pouncing on the new threat.
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNThcWGVj0
**SCHLICK!**
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nne2aPI9F
Its claws found the ogre’s throat. The beast clutched its neck, choking on its own blood before collapsing.
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOy2xYlqvyA
*Dead.*
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwXsvjFNFT
Lu Feng stared in shock. *Damn. This cat is no joke.*
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKdzwWPNfi
Gromm and the remaining ogres froze, realizing their prey wasn’t as helpless as they’d thought.
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlElKC29alf
**"Retreat!"** Gromm bellowed, unwilling to lose more of his kin. Clutching his wounded leg, he and his group fled into the forest.
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHGlrKe1UW
Only when their footsteps faded did Lu Feng finally collapse, gasping for breath. His clothes were drenched in sweat, his nerves frayed.
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCuJjSoJSuz
The Shadowstalker Cat padded over, purring as it nuzzled his hand.
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynoa2Dqqfb
"Heh… good job, little guy." He scratched behind its ears, relief washing over him.
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0wirrb9qk
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.
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgU5X8QGxdk
*I need to find shelter and get stronger. Next time, I might not be so lucky.*
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujQr9gvhPo
Just as he was lost in thought, an aged but robust voice spoke from behind him—unexpected and eerily calm.
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSTrJ8ooBq
"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."
