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.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQ7aGlA0K3
He scanned his surroundings, but there was no trace of modern civilization—only a wild, primitive landscape stretched before him.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0u2XctDeg
*Where the hell am I?* A wave of unease crashed over him.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3Nv3GoFGH
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.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAeWeRMUto7
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.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOwTKvOSGD
Just as he was searching for a way out, a low growl shattered the silence.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQXf0UyL9O
He spun around and saw a group of massive, grotesque creatures lumbering out from the nearby woods.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOaxopQsYU
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.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXKhEIBFvX
*Ogres.* Brutal, savage monsters known for their cruelty.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxmnoLbyg1
At the forefront was the largest of them all—a hulking beast whose greedy, bloodthirsty gaze locked onto Lu Feng as it advanced.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0OOl4XWMI
*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.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshU0WhOxsW
Then, by sheer chance, his fingers brushed against a crumpled piece of paper in his pocket—a fragment of a game log.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Vse8iYXEa
It looked like an ordinary scrap, but the moment he touched it, a faint tremor ran through his fingertips.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7G1t1eZXZ
Curious, he unfolded it and found densely packed text detailing crucial information about the laws governing two worlds.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TjT7lyj79
The words acted like a key, unlocking something deep within him.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1onRFcjUP
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?*
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmWGuF5EAn
Focusing his mind, he channeled his energy into activating the log fragment.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡceS41Xympy
In an instant, intricate symbols and text flashed before his eyes, piecing together into a coherent image in his mind.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXz8ciGUEb9
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.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzYBGy44Pv
*If this thing really works… I might just make it out alive.* A spark of hope ignited within him.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsCIdrRK3r
Concentrating, he activated the Simulation Engine’s **3x Speed Mode**.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUEOx7knok
Warmth spread from his fingertips, coursing through his body. His mental energy rapidly drained, but in exchange, a flood of knowledge filled his mind.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUQll1GpWh
With this power, he quickly grasped the essence of the **Basic Beast Taming Art**.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtaO1QFjpk
Closing his eyes, he reached out with his senses, searching for nearby lifeforms.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6GCGdc9lV
And there it was—a faint, flickering presence in the shadows nearby.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIeX5BxBJW
A small, elusive creature, brimming with intelligence, as if it shared some inexplicable bond with him.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR36WvjOIi3
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."
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttesN9C02P
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.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLhg0r8yHy
A **Shadowstalker Cat**—an incredibly rare spirit beast.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsC57sFBHA
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.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYmUF2AAxv
*"Contract established!"*
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9WjkkuUcF
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.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcItSFdNzMC
But just as the bond solidified, the ogres closed in.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MyMgbujcj
The largest one, **Gromm**, roared and raised his massive stone hammer, preparing to strike.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXRwd3PyLn
Lu Feng’s eyes hardened with resolve. Gripping the Shadowstalker Cat’s paw, he whispered, "Get ready. We fight."
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQm3Ds29xK
The cat let out a low growl, its form blurring before vanishing into a streak of black lightning.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGlty6IFIm
Meanwhile, Lu Feng melted into the thick fog, his presence blending seamlessly with the environment.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylCBIfEiSf
Gromm’s hammer came crashing down with enough force to shatter stone, the impact sending tremors through the ground.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRtKRRmDTA
Lu Feng barely dodged in time, adrenaline surging through his veins.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIryI3mI8V
*This isn’t a game anymore. One wrong move, and I’m dead.*
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PSslUIzlI
Through their mental link, he commanded the Shadowstalker Cat: *"Flank left—distract him!"*
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfx2nCti5J
The cat responded with a fierce *"Mrow!"* before darting forward like a coiled spring released, its speed defying the eye.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FjFhfrTZb
**BOOM!**
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqURJx7F4WX
Gromm’s hammer cratered the ground where Lu Feng had stood moments earlier, debris flying everywhere.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIYySuroDd
*Too close.*
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9oMNwyRRv
Seizing the opportunity, the Shadowstalker Cat struck—its razor-sharp claws slashing across Gromm’s thick calf.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zLaRYYBZL
**"ROOOAAAR!"**
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgVZ92HXWE
Gromm howled in pain, green blood gushing from the deep gashes. Enraged, he abandoned Lu Feng, turning his fury on the elusive feline.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡob2M7lUzkd
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.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmqVK522gp
Lu Feng wasn’t idle either. Spotting a dim-witted ogre lagging behind, he hurled a rock and taunted, "Hey, ugly! Over here!"
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VLbetgET4
The ogre turned—just in time to take the stone square between the eyes.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcKvnCWt5O
**"GRAAH!"**
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXeFDgYeajg
Infuriated, it charged.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCY6lnJefp2
*"Switch targets—take that one down!"* Lu Feng ordered.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6JD8UkWrd
The Shadowstalker Cat disengaged from Gromm in a blur, pouncing on the new threat.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1J3x3rue3I
**SCHLICK!**
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4q7F1MxHN
Its claws found the ogre’s throat. The beast clutched its neck, choking on its own blood before collapsing.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN93go9oQPB
*Dead.*
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7TBM370tU
Lu Feng stared in shock. *Damn. This cat is no joke.*
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWQsu12Cjs
Gromm and the remaining ogres froze, realizing their prey wasn’t as helpless as they’d thought.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzug0mihg3O
**"Retreat!"** Gromm bellowed, unwilling to lose more of his kin. Clutching his wounded leg, he and his group fled into the forest.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVvnq95JAN
Only when their footsteps faded did Lu Feng finally collapse, gasping for breath. His clothes were drenched in sweat, his nerves frayed.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjhWWeIIQX
The Shadowstalker Cat padded over, purring as it nuzzled his hand.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDLrer6UVR
"Heh… good job, little guy." He scratched behind its ears, relief washing over him.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqvcJIOnei
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.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVbaaIRePm
*I need to find shelter and get stronger. Next time, I might not be so lucky.*
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxuG3tHbh6o
Just as he was lost in thought, an aged but robust voice spoke from behind him—unexpected and eerily calm.
187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZAISZPLK6
"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."
