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.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1narXjcu8
He scanned his surroundings, but there was no trace of modern civilization—only a wild, primitive landscape stretched before him.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDiPrFQ1VRQ
*Where the hell am I?* A wave of unease crashed over him.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX719YEQ0A7
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.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zw4kJidhu
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.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZAi2vWYm3
Just as he was searching for a way out, a low growl shattered the silence.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIS7bOg2ze
He spun around and saw a group of massive, grotesque creatures lumbering out from the nearby woods.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHxzqB82fn
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.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx66e7jugeF
*Ogres.* Brutal, savage monsters known for their cruelty.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbw088xS5N
At the forefront was the largest of them all—a hulking beast whose greedy, bloodthirsty gaze locked onto Lu Feng as it advanced.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyG0EshFRst
*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.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMbKHKTgnT
Then, by sheer chance, his fingers brushed against a crumpled piece of paper in his pocket—a fragment of a game log.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLXwivmP4G
It looked like an ordinary scrap, but the moment he touched it, a faint tremor ran through his fingertips.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJGE6HgSYK
Curious, he unfolded it and found densely packed text detailing crucial information about the laws governing two worlds.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWYIOEaekC
The words acted like a key, unlocking something deep within him.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKlvurxzNF
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?*
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJIK3dm2RP
Focusing his mind, he channeled his energy into activating the log fragment.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRTFqHrfpJ
In an instant, intricate symbols and text flashed before his eyes, piecing together into a coherent image in his mind.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡng4U2pOrMG
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.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHcIBOUL9g
*If this thing really works… I might just make it out alive.* A spark of hope ignited within him.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt39nWUTCB8
Concentrating, he activated the Simulation Engine’s **3x Speed Mode**.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYFLPmKDOl
Warmth spread from his fingertips, coursing through his body. His mental energy rapidly drained, but in exchange, a flood of knowledge filled his mind.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXV6YSM4fr
With this power, he quickly grasped the essence of the **Basic Beast Taming Art**.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjPzJn2p5l
Closing his eyes, he reached out with his senses, searching for nearby lifeforms.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwcCLF790L
And there it was—a faint, flickering presence in the shadows nearby.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wvs6HRfWP
A small, elusive creature, brimming with intelligence, as if it shared some inexplicable bond with him.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TbTL5BF1G
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."
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vz7W3lzDw
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.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37zRnJi5TF
A **Shadowstalker Cat**—an incredibly rare spirit beast.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2e4FwBsd1
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.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpT4JnK3JbC
*"Contract established!"*
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCllUCo9uCo
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.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJr9kk12Fv
But just as the bond solidified, the ogres closed in.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWshcKYOGN
The largest one, **Gromm**, roared and raised his massive stone hammer, preparing to strike.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Nh801lr20
Lu Feng’s eyes hardened with resolve. Gripping the Shadowstalker Cat’s paw, he whispered, "Get ready. We fight."
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBI0yn6X0BU
The cat let out a low growl, its form blurring before vanishing into a streak of black lightning.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRmd6BQmFW
Meanwhile, Lu Feng melted into the thick fog, his presence blending seamlessly with the environment.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0Vo1Uifkr
Gromm’s hammer came crashing down with enough force to shatter stone, the impact sending tremors through the ground.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zil9VC7X2
Lu Feng barely dodged in time, adrenaline surging through his veins.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZHJSG5JxO
*This isn’t a game anymore. One wrong move, and I’m dead.*
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBt671RlNmm
Through their mental link, he commanded the Shadowstalker Cat: *"Flank left—distract him!"*
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0ytxGEG6s
The cat responded with a fierce *"Mrow!"* before darting forward like a coiled spring released, its speed defying the eye.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSGlvAT6lL
**BOOM!**
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBHG3CJ8jo
Gromm’s hammer cratered the ground where Lu Feng had stood moments earlier, debris flying everywhere.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7v9Zj6QsWX
*Too close.*
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42HXpzsDPt
Seizing the opportunity, the Shadowstalker Cat struck—its razor-sharp claws slashing across Gromm’s thick calf.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ivpZtQieG
**"ROOOAAAR!"**
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GtpVTecT3
Gromm howled in pain, green blood gushing from the deep gashes. Enraged, he abandoned Lu Feng, turning his fury on the elusive feline.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7ssMcWuO7
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.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhfr4Yr57b
Lu Feng wasn’t idle either. Spotting a dim-witted ogre lagging behind, he hurled a rock and taunted, "Hey, ugly! Over here!"
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMQZTucQia
The ogre turned—just in time to take the stone square between the eyes.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FEBU82cYV
**"GRAAH!"**
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1g8IUQqhIN
Infuriated, it charged.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3nLad4zC4
*"Switch targets—take that one down!"* Lu Feng ordered.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02L3XMQRhG
The Shadowstalker Cat disengaged from Gromm in a blur, pouncing on the new threat.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdvCkMM5Ek
**SCHLICK!**
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfb1FzaPoT
Its claws found the ogre’s throat. The beast clutched its neck, choking on its own blood before collapsing.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxC8YmsF75z
*Dead.*
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0QXF07Se4
Lu Feng stared in shock. *Damn. This cat is no joke.*
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUWkXSzOdD
Gromm and the remaining ogres froze, realizing their prey wasn’t as helpless as they’d thought.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mUZjpUkqw
**"Retreat!"** Gromm bellowed, unwilling to lose more of his kin. Clutching his wounded leg, he and his group fled into the forest.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5ymG4AeDx
Only when their footsteps faded did Lu Feng finally collapse, gasping for breath. His clothes were drenched in sweat, his nerves frayed.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznRL66CAQ1
The Shadowstalker Cat padded over, purring as it nuzzled his hand.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPuZ2xGJuML
"Heh… good job, little guy." He scratched behind its ears, relief washing over him.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQ1GHSrzop
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.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfIUyYunLQ
*I need to find shelter and get stronger. Next time, I might not be so lucky.*
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnX64DwhKjb
Just as he was lost in thought, an aged but robust voice spoke from behind him—unexpected and eerily calm.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Fs8sBBdIU
"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."
