The sky darkened ominously. Just as Lu Feng thought he’d reach the safe zone, trouble struck at the gates of the "starter village" like a tiger blocking his path.

As Lu Feng and his Shadowcat neared Twilight Fortress, a nauseating stench filled the air—a mix of rotting flesh and acrid sulfur that made his stomach churn. "What the hell is this? A bioweapon leak?" He gagged, tying a cloth over his face. Beside him, the Shadowcat’s ears pricked up, its blue eyes sharp as it growled low in its throat.

Lu Feng paused, squinting through the blood-tinged haze. The fortress loomed like a slumbering beast under the crimson dusk, its crumbling walls barely visible through the fog. "This smog’s worse than the apocalypse," he muttered, gripping his dagger—a limited-edition gaming merch that now doubled as his lifeline.

The Shadowcat vanished into the shadows with a flick of its tail, scouting ahead. A sudden icy gust raised goosebumps on Lu Feng’s neck. *This place reeks of death.*
23Please respect copyright.PENANAAx5fdcIKlM
A shrill yowl pierced the darkness—the Shadowcat’s distress call. "Xiao You!" Lu Feng sprinted toward the sound, but the ground quaked violently. Two blood-red eyes glowed in the gloom.

*Clang!*

Adrenaline surged as Lu Feng froze. The silhouette ahead radiated boss-level menace. He fumbled for his "ancestral brick"—really just a large rock—when silver light erupted from Moonlight Lake. The mirrored surface rippled, reflecting the moon like liquid mercury.

Footsteps pounded. A cry echoed: "Help! Someone, please!"
23Please respect copyright.PENANAmIBDa73fP1
A silver-haired elf maiden—her beauty surpassing any idol from Lu Feng’s world—dodged black-clad pursuers. "An elf?!" Without thinking, Lu Feng shouted, "Bullying a girl? How pathetic!"
23Please respect copyright.PENANAfZH4pxP3mR
The assassins wheeled toward him. "Scram, kid, if you value your life!"
23Please respect copyright.PENANAPlicC53XYn
"Fat chance!" Lu Feng smirked, charging with his rock. "Today, justice gets served!"
23Please respect copyright.PENANAOhWFjV9VUM
Blades clashed. Though no martial artist, Lu Feng’s gamer reflexes and terrain knowledge kept him barely alive—until the assassins cornered him. *Is this game over?*
23Please respect copyright.PENANAaaNdXxHDd3
The elf clasped her hands. Moonlight erupted from her body, searing the assassins in holy fire. "Run! It won’t hold them long!" she gasped.

As smoke-choked screams pursued them, the Shadowcat reappeared—ambushing pursuers from the shadows. "Xiao You, you legend!" Lu Feng breathed.

Reaching the fortress outskirts, the elf bowed. "Thank you. I’m Aylia, last heir of Moonlight Forest."
23Please respect copyright.PENANAvZB7Yi2I6J
"Destroyed by the Blood Fiend Sect," she explained bitterly. "They slaughter for power."
23Please respect copyright.PENANALUUt0qW1ta
Lu Feng cracked a grin. "Need a partner for vengeance?"
23Please respect copyright.PENANAiawJpRAuhj
Aylia hesitated, then nodded. "You’d... help?"
23Please respect copyright.PENANAg8V4ocNlp7
"Friends stick together." He winked. "Call me Lu Feng."
23Please respect copyright.PENANAmRuY38sySp
Her eyes widened in recognition—his infamous beta-tester ID. Before she could speak, a ground-shaking roar echoed.
23Please respect copyright.PENANAMvpiOOUCNx
Aylia paled. "That’s—"

"Godzilla’s cousin?" Lu Feng joked weakly as her grip tightened on his arm. The forest trembled. Something ancient had awakened.
