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.
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59ep61FdiS
He scanned his surroundings, but there was no trace of modern civilization—only a wild, primitive landscape stretched before him.
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvXs7LrtQ1
*Where the hell am I?* A wave of unease crashed over him.
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0lWWd2uWJ
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.
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXYAKKyZFY
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.
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJjHeAvOa4
Just as he was searching for a way out, a low growl shattered the silence.
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkNIMml0U6
He spun around and saw a group of massive, grotesque creatures lumbering out from the nearby woods.
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6ilSkw8sl
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.
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rXaADvrcm
*Ogres.* Brutal, savage monsters known for their cruelty.
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahxmk17GB3
At the forefront was the largest of them all—a hulking beast whose greedy, bloodthirsty gaze locked onto Lu Feng as it advanced.
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELSQJIaKX5
*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.
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXk0AD1wQ3H
Then, by sheer chance, his fingers brushed against a crumpled piece of paper in his pocket—a fragment of a game log.
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtmHGFY4s4
It looked like an ordinary scrap, but the moment he touched it, a faint tremor ran through his fingertips.
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkAZGbCT8s
Curious, he unfolded it and found densely packed text detailing crucial information about the laws governing two worlds.
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVaJkWA9DfU
The words acted like a key, unlocking something deep within him.
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Otv5Hx3Ls
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?*
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNyhY51NM0R
Focusing his mind, he channeled his energy into activating the log fragment.
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBRekHPo7p
In an instant, intricate symbols and text flashed before his eyes, piecing together into a coherent image in his mind.
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4Pgv0GxcI
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.
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmEkmaWZBo
*If this thing really works… I might just make it out alive.* A spark of hope ignited within him.
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRELt3i7Xz
Concentrating, he activated the Simulation Engine’s **3x Speed Mode**.
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4K2ssYpKsp
Warmth spread from his fingertips, coursing through his body. His mental energy rapidly drained, but in exchange, a flood of knowledge filled his mind.
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3zWsLXHPb
With this power, he quickly grasped the essence of the **Basic Beast Taming Art**.
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFoUw8gtIhQ
Closing his eyes, he reached out with his senses, searching for nearby lifeforms.
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmxXNUH7gj
And there it was—a faint, flickering presence in the shadows nearby.
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnHFtScmGv
A small, elusive creature, brimming with intelligence, as if it shared some inexplicable bond with him.
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wT7nqGRl2
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."
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8xZjqF8UF
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.
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyzvWHRiHN
A **Shadowstalker Cat**—an incredibly rare spirit beast.
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvlzBYcaGPH
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.
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKvC9XDRaJ
*"Contract established!"*
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOXk3Qqfv0
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.
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0nZObmzSj
But just as the bond solidified, the ogres closed in.
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNntRYPJ73
The largest one, **Gromm**, roared and raised his massive stone hammer, preparing to strike.
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwaixxSCpGE
Lu Feng’s eyes hardened with resolve. Gripping the Shadowstalker Cat’s paw, he whispered, "Get ready. We fight."
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9CwuRHUJl
The cat let out a low growl, its form blurring before vanishing into a streak of black lightning.
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDGLs2aBCx
Meanwhile, Lu Feng melted into the thick fog, his presence blending seamlessly with the environment.
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqc0vhZlNN0
Gromm’s hammer came crashing down with enough force to shatter stone, the impact sending tremors through the ground.
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QqU1R4qms
Lu Feng barely dodged in time, adrenaline surging through his veins.
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhnSuV5Vjd
*This isn’t a game anymore. One wrong move, and I’m dead.*
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXkfHMGdxz
Through their mental link, he commanded the Shadowstalker Cat: *"Flank left—distract him!"*
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpHHjVzCzA
The cat responded with a fierce *"Mrow!"* before darting forward like a coiled spring released, its speed defying the eye.
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGS22jjmyyp
**BOOM!**
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHQUjpEyd3
Gromm’s hammer cratered the ground where Lu Feng had stood moments earlier, debris flying everywhere.
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡan299SyOKj
*Too close.*
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFwVfOwLGa
Seizing the opportunity, the Shadowstalker Cat struck—its razor-sharp claws slashing across Gromm’s thick calf.
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmFiOAzuNG
**"ROOOAAAR!"**
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCURiiofhNm
Gromm howled in pain, green blood gushing from the deep gashes. Enraged, he abandoned Lu Feng, turning his fury on the elusive feline.
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp33Xv5bUZD
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.
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT35o2sTgnv
Lu Feng wasn’t idle either. Spotting a dim-witted ogre lagging behind, he hurled a rock and taunted, "Hey, ugly! Over here!"
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOlPXLh0Zt
The ogre turned—just in time to take the stone square between the eyes.
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3w5qDvHfd
**"GRAAH!"**
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hYH5CxOVE
Infuriated, it charged.
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSFkr3NW5H
*"Switch targets—take that one down!"* Lu Feng ordered.
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFJkVsNSlC
The Shadowstalker Cat disengaged from Gromm in a blur, pouncing on the new threat.
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KiB2lOJsl
**SCHLICK!**
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCUnUhFl8j
Its claws found the ogre’s throat. The beast clutched its neck, choking on its own blood before collapsing.
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYT5Gm3qfj
*Dead.*
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmb8LqpPIR
Lu Feng stared in shock. *Damn. This cat is no joke.*
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfvRpGIUse
Gromm and the remaining ogres froze, realizing their prey wasn’t as helpless as they’d thought.
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6pk49SIge
**"Retreat!"** Gromm bellowed, unwilling to lose more of his kin. Clutching his wounded leg, he and his group fled into the forest.
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsy7sIBFL5T
Only when their footsteps faded did Lu Feng finally collapse, gasping for breath. His clothes were drenched in sweat, his nerves frayed.
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPGLnqxBlk
The Shadowstalker Cat padded over, purring as it nuzzled his hand.
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiP3JIf4RZZ
"Heh… good job, little guy." He scratched behind its ears, relief washing over him.
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1U7zc94mT
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.
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw94076Sjne
*I need to find shelter and get stronger. Next time, I might not be so lucky.*
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKmeXCnBe4
Just as he was lost in thought, an aged but robust voice spoke from behind him—unexpected and eerily calm.
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFuXNBWG3o
"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."
