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.
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlbUm1XB91
He scanned his surroundings, but there was no trace of modern civilization—only a wild, primitive landscape stretched before him.
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuphtKjbZ7t
*Where the hell am I?* A wave of unease crashed over him.
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmFaQu7xIE
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.
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBCbbjoxxZ
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.
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4yFhR0ANH
Just as he was searching for a way out, a low growl shattered the silence.
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8uqh0offz
He spun around and saw a group of massive, grotesque creatures lumbering out from the nearby woods.
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUu0d1LPCq
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.
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArORh6LpWf
*Ogres.* Brutal, savage monsters known for their cruelty.
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIatZ5zQF0A
At the forefront was the largest of them all—a hulking beast whose greedy, bloodthirsty gaze locked onto Lu Feng as it advanced.
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlH4H9pQTvX
*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.
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgPn1o2WyC
Then, by sheer chance, his fingers brushed against a crumpled piece of paper in his pocket—a fragment of a game log.
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeU8ET6t8yt
It looked like an ordinary scrap, but the moment he touched it, a faint tremor ran through his fingertips.
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmtYM7xtim
Curious, he unfolded it and found densely packed text detailing crucial information about the laws governing two worlds.
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLG2YtibmMA
The words acted like a key, unlocking something deep within him.
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNoXrNtwoRu
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?*
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJmfO7lgdK
Focusing his mind, he channeled his energy into activating the log fragment.
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mwrLvGph8
In an instant, intricate symbols and text flashed before his eyes, piecing together into a coherent image in his mind.
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGohOnkrkX
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.
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Tiq9J5Ksx
*If this thing really works… I might just make it out alive.* A spark of hope ignited within him.
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJolIWMTsv
Concentrating, he activated the Simulation Engine’s **3x Speed Mode**.
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoG0PMmlBOt
Warmth spread from his fingertips, coursing through his body. His mental energy rapidly drained, but in exchange, a flood of knowledge filled his mind.
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLseSpKORL
With this power, he quickly grasped the essence of the **Basic Beast Taming Art**.
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0slPPCOV33
Closing his eyes, he reached out with his senses, searching for nearby lifeforms.
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mf3XXU1FV
And there it was—a faint, flickering presence in the shadows nearby.
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06DiQ25AR4
A small, elusive creature, brimming with intelligence, as if it shared some inexplicable bond with him.
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOH90jplyge
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."
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxXzs4RuTG
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.
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkowXgEKkSo
A **Shadowstalker Cat**—an incredibly rare spirit beast.
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyee5lTakB
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.
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8x5tNTvzi
*"Contract established!"*
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhitlKhNpXA
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.
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡleYtIKmGw3
But just as the bond solidified, the ogres closed in.
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUEKhtLYyL
The largest one, **Gromm**, roared and raised his massive stone hammer, preparing to strike.
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7z8NdrM8c0
Lu Feng’s eyes hardened with resolve. Gripping the Shadowstalker Cat’s paw, he whispered, "Get ready. We fight."
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlhJvHiwAq
The cat let out a low growl, its form blurring before vanishing into a streak of black lightning.
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4X8rBXUra
Meanwhile, Lu Feng melted into the thick fog, his presence blending seamlessly with the environment.
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nKaKeeGWc
Gromm’s hammer came crashing down with enough force to shatter stone, the impact sending tremors through the ground.
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxJ1ySTUhW
Lu Feng barely dodged in time, adrenaline surging through his veins.
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUhpvhJg2Z
*This isn’t a game anymore. One wrong move, and I’m dead.*
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNAte5uLbR
Through their mental link, he commanded the Shadowstalker Cat: *"Flank left—distract him!"*
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAaMN0gaUOs
The cat responded with a fierce *"Mrow!"* before darting forward like a coiled spring released, its speed defying the eye.
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2OipWyHtF
**BOOM!**
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLR7HMF4W9k
Gromm’s hammer cratered the ground where Lu Feng had stood moments earlier, debris flying everywhere.
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgZVeeEzHS
*Too close.*
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW41AdShASQ
Seizing the opportunity, the Shadowstalker Cat struck—its razor-sharp claws slashing across Gromm’s thick calf.
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3s09tAeBHw
**"ROOOAAAR!"**
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZA1ZVskq3K
Gromm howled in pain, green blood gushing from the deep gashes. Enraged, he abandoned Lu Feng, turning his fury on the elusive feline.
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYo6ZPvGB4
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.
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1X2NUK5dC
Lu Feng wasn’t idle either. Spotting a dim-witted ogre lagging behind, he hurled a rock and taunted, "Hey, ugly! Over here!"
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb149F7UGfu
The ogre turned—just in time to take the stone square between the eyes.
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1J6Dx5HNok
**"GRAAH!"**
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmQgJf9cba
Infuriated, it charged.
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡON2CCxrHO6
*"Switch targets—take that one down!"* Lu Feng ordered.
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjO5562pDW
The Shadowstalker Cat disengaged from Gromm in a blur, pouncing on the new threat.
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLNJ1o1dKk
**SCHLICK!**
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PpEieyhJX
Its claws found the ogre’s throat. The beast clutched its neck, choking on its own blood before collapsing.
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlRnck024G
*Dead.*
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmf747HKYL
Lu Feng stared in shock. *Damn. This cat is no joke.*
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5ZRYlUQwE
Gromm and the remaining ogres froze, realizing their prey wasn’t as helpless as they’d thought.
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lgWyGd3z8
**"Retreat!"** Gromm bellowed, unwilling to lose more of his kin. Clutching his wounded leg, he and his group fled into the forest.
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTaKnjct8d3
Only when their footsteps faded did Lu Feng finally collapse, gasping for breath. His clothes were drenched in sweat, his nerves frayed.
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHkHc3ri4n
The Shadowstalker Cat padded over, purring as it nuzzled his hand.
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6slwIYZHu
"Heh… good job, little guy." He scratched behind its ears, relief washing over him.
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uTAucbQtt
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.
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMpRCVVMbZ
*I need to find shelter and get stronger. Next time, I might not be so lucky.*
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJ72dh2u4R
Just as he was lost in thought, an aged but robust voice spoke from behind him—unexpected and eerily calm.
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIp3mhvntKC
"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."
