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.
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrRwX4CLkG
He scanned his surroundings, but there was no trace of modern civilization—only a wild, primitive landscape stretched before him.
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9nNxPrbFo
*Where the hell am I?* A wave of unease crashed over him.
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObZvx8xAFL
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.
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQKHDCWGC1
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.
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuC6PusDg9d
Just as he was searching for a way out, a low growl shattered the silence.
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOdYM28zje
He spun around and saw a group of massive, grotesque creatures lumbering out from the nearby woods.
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvVQL0N4EI
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.
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdchzoZU2yE
*Ogres.* Brutal, savage monsters known for their cruelty.
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHhpKHK4kn
At the forefront was the largest of them all—a hulking beast whose greedy, bloodthirsty gaze locked onto Lu Feng as it advanced.
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4VC82CaX4
*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.
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEpSNlNVgb
Then, by sheer chance, his fingers brushed against a crumpled piece of paper in his pocket—a fragment of a game log.
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9mEPleoQa
It looked like an ordinary scrap, but the moment he touched it, a faint tremor ran through his fingertips.
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAn3A8luMe
Curious, he unfolded it and found densely packed text detailing crucial information about the laws governing two worlds.
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVw7LO0swKq
The words acted like a key, unlocking something deep within him.
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgyLOj9ozC
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?*
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMUmkZ0vPy
Focusing his mind, he channeled his energy into activating the log fragment.
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLPfFR8A0o
In an instant, intricate symbols and text flashed before his eyes, piecing together into a coherent image in his mind.
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZxJsppHzw
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.
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WqCl0XCy6
*If this thing really works… I might just make it out alive.* A spark of hope ignited within him.
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZR528gOkP
Concentrating, he activated the Simulation Engine’s **3x Speed Mode**.
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMXWJZK2fz
Warmth spread from his fingertips, coursing through his body. His mental energy rapidly drained, but in exchange, a flood of knowledge filled his mind.
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXrwSTOXfB
With this power, he quickly grasped the essence of the **Basic Beast Taming Art**.
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85QZKavwWf
Closing his eyes, he reached out with his senses, searching for nearby lifeforms.
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtEfds2xcr
And there it was—a faint, flickering presence in the shadows nearby.
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqR9uZc28U
A small, elusive creature, brimming with intelligence, as if it shared some inexplicable bond with him.
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGWsxZClpw
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."
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YarbQadMX
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.
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJ0C8OYirg
A **Shadowstalker Cat**—an incredibly rare spirit beast.
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWkLM6Tb9F
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.
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKz0ufZC45v
*"Contract established!"*
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4gPIl7x3I
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.
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0NEJHklTc
But just as the bond solidified, the ogres closed in.
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XSM3BNJXB
The largest one, **Gromm**, roared and raised his massive stone hammer, preparing to strike.
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimTyfZXOy5
Lu Feng’s eyes hardened with resolve. Gripping the Shadowstalker Cat’s paw, he whispered, "Get ready. We fight."
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwW7iO38NEe
The cat let out a low growl, its form blurring before vanishing into a streak of black lightning.
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2VtI8usN8
Meanwhile, Lu Feng melted into the thick fog, his presence blending seamlessly with the environment.
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLiPhuik8T
Gromm’s hammer came crashing down with enough force to shatter stone, the impact sending tremors through the ground.
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡST9Srnicgr
Lu Feng barely dodged in time, adrenaline surging through his veins.
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAHPE5DiV9
*This isn’t a game anymore. One wrong move, and I’m dead.*
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXn1q1QFTe
Through their mental link, he commanded the Shadowstalker Cat: *"Flank left—distract him!"*
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2q3MgJEXjT
The cat responded with a fierce *"Mrow!"* before darting forward like a coiled spring released, its speed defying the eye.
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dtk3K4LLx
**BOOM!**
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVxSEjUwFk
Gromm’s hammer cratered the ground where Lu Feng had stood moments earlier, debris flying everywhere.
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRv8E8aIkh5
*Too close.*
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmShPjsANT
Seizing the opportunity, the Shadowstalker Cat struck—its razor-sharp claws slashing across Gromm’s thick calf.
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZb5lPRawVO
**"ROOOAAAR!"**
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2bOvHIMvb
Gromm howled in pain, green blood gushing from the deep gashes. Enraged, he abandoned Lu Feng, turning his fury on the elusive feline.
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZnfNQoO5Q
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.
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgRXpQLrIG
Lu Feng wasn’t idle either. Spotting a dim-witted ogre lagging behind, he hurled a rock and taunted, "Hey, ugly! Over here!"
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9pewH4qHQ
The ogre turned—just in time to take the stone square between the eyes.
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90JN0ywkXK
**"GRAAH!"**
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDKxjswM39
Infuriated, it charged.
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1UPetCFZm
*"Switch targets—take that one down!"* Lu Feng ordered.
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJEIu24DJe
The Shadowstalker Cat disengaged from Gromm in a blur, pouncing on the new threat.
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpugyUVBX4V
**SCHLICK!**
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmmrZLXevu
Its claws found the ogre’s throat. The beast clutched its neck, choking on its own blood before collapsing.
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbBFW2Ls3m
*Dead.*
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvNGWlkqgw
Lu Feng stared in shock. *Damn. This cat is no joke.*
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6AEfvkCmYc
Gromm and the remaining ogres froze, realizing their prey wasn’t as helpless as they’d thought.
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfcg16yYMV
**"Retreat!"** Gromm bellowed, unwilling to lose more of his kin. Clutching his wounded leg, he and his group fled into the forest.
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LVyMskFv3
Only when their footsteps faded did Lu Feng finally collapse, gasping for breath. His clothes were drenched in sweat, his nerves frayed.
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYeZ5z6kssw
The Shadowstalker Cat padded over, purring as it nuzzled his hand.
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WcchIeZHe
"Heh… good job, little guy." He scratched behind its ears, relief washing over him.
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9TbECyG4Y
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.
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlE7ZIVhqiI
*I need to find shelter and get stronger. Next time, I might not be so lucky.*
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNUYRRNAwG
Just as he was lost in thought, an aged but robust voice spoke from behind him—unexpected and eerily calm.
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxjIcwKINI
"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."
