Lu Feng jolted awake, his face no longer pressed against a computer monitor. Blinking, he found himself sprawled in an alien wasteland. Thick, swirling fog obscured the terrain, though he could faintly make out rolling hills and a dense forest in the distance. A biting wind cut through the air, making him shiver. 56Please respect copyright.PENANAA1KrFNE27l
56Please respect copyright.PENANA6FIbiCqQdf
There was no trace of modern civilization here—only primal wilderness. *Where the hell am I?* Panic clawed at his throat. His memories flickered with fragmented images: the *Ten Thousand Spirits War Chronicles* game interface, a sudden electric surge from his keyboard, then… nothing. Now he was here, stranded in this surreal realm. 56Please respect copyright.PENANAAkZXYp68hJ
56Please respect copyright.PENANAEza5OlHck2
His legs wobbled as he stood. The landscape defied Earthly logic, and the air hummed with an unfamiliar energy—strangely nostalgic yet utterly foreign, like a half-remembered dream. Just as he began scouting for escape routes, a guttural growl shattered the silence. 56Please respect copyright.PENANAnZKBm6hTiw
56Please respect copyright.PENANAaxkSua6OXe
Turning, Lu Feng saw hulking figures emerge from the mist-shrouded woods. 56Please respect copyright.PENANA0WKIpQufxN
56Please respect copyright.PENANAUBhlZkWujS
**Ogres**. 56Please respect copyright.PENANAdvgst94VCb
56Please respect copyright.PENANAuAn3YCm5tl
Each stood over three meters tall, muscles rippling beneath leathery skin, wielding crude stone hammers and spears. The leader—larger than the rest—locked eyes with Lu Feng, saliva dripping from yellowed tusks as it lumbered forward. 56Please respect copyright.PENANAVVQdj3cGop
56Please respect copyright.PENANABRkliDE4zr
*Shit! Monsters?!* Lu Feng scrambled backward, but the barren terrain offered no cover. His mind raced. Then his fingers brushed a crumpled page in his pocket—the **game log fragment** he’d been testing. 56Please respect copyright.PENANAZB2LIFQXbq
56Please respect copyright.PENANA1CnayVpWNE
The paper trembled. Unfolding it, he found densely scrawled text about **interdimensional rules**, glowing faintly. As he read, warmth surged through his veins. Power—akin to his in-game avatar’s abilities—awakened within him. 56Please respect copyright.PENANA0QX1RxnRUM
56Please respect copyright.PENANAUsJyOTiYpe
*The Deduction Simulator.* 56Please respect copyright.PENANAfxXsHtIci2
56Please respect copyright.PENANAbuNfFY7R7Q
The system’s interface flickered before him: a tool to accelerate **cultivation techniques** and **spirit beast evolution**. 56Please respect copyright.PENANAbwbdDcGQyo
56Please respect copyright.PENANA7VHK06HK43
“This… could save me,” Lu Feng muttered. Ignoring his draining mental energy, he activated the simulator’s **3x speed mode**. Instantly, insights flooded his mind—the **Basic Beast Taming Art** crystallized into mastery. 56Please respect copyright.PENANAtJ3rAbx9sd
56Please respect copyright.PENANAqxXSjxu6i6
Closing his eyes, he sensed faint life energy nearby. “Come out,” he whispered. 56Please respect copyright.PENANASyhCqBuBnx
56Please respect copyright.PENANAp6bKNsNOms
A shadow detached from the mist—a sleek black cat with luminous eyes. The **Shadowstalker Cat **, a rare spirit beast, tilted its head curiously. 56Please respect copyright.PENANASJBQVaVm90
56Please respect copyright.PENANAviCuJlxvAJ
Lu Feng extended a hand, channeling energy through their forming bond. Warmth pulsed between them. 56Please respect copyright.PENANAIcAP5g3Xuk
56Please respect copyright.PENANAJe59E27M3k
**“Contract established.”** 56Please respect copyright.PENANAfyznWOhvLh
56Please respect copyright.PENANAebilEKq7Ar
The cat’s power merged with his own, sharpening his senses. But the ogres were closing in. 56Please respect copyright.PENANAZ3Azp5S4gB
56Please respect copyright.PENANAviZOQyDo2w
“Grrrum SMASH!” roared the ogre chieftain, hefting a boulder-sized hammer. 56Please respect copyright.PENANAwN7nBZiPaY
56Please respect copyright.PENANAHzaQA2BFLb
Lu Feng ducked as the weapon cratered the ground where he’d stood. *Holy crap—that would’ve turned me into paste!* 56Please respect copyright.PENANADnKgCqtvbe
56Please respect copyright.PENANAMiaQQw1ZVZ
“Flank left, Shadowstalker!” he commanded mentally. 56Please respect copyright.PENANAkAt9t3OIAg
56Please respect copyright.PENANAnUwnsPtOke
The cat blurred into motion, claws raking the ogre’s calf. The beast howled, green blood spilling as it staggered. Enraged, it swung wildly, but the feline darted between its legs, targeting joints and eyes. 56Please respect copyright.PENANAMPrB2YHjRE
56Please respect copyright.PENANA3erMeKGKaQ
Lu Feng lobbed a rock at a dumber ogre. “Hey, numbskull! Over here!” 56Please respect copyright.PENANADeUO6WCdl9
56Please respect copyright.PENANA0vt5xwnjIB
Distracted, the brute took a stone to the forehead. “Now, Shadowstalker!” 56Please respect copyright.PENANAs023y0gave
56Please respect copyright.PENANA0xdLNGKB4O
The cat pivoted, sinking fangs into the ogre’s throat. The monster collapsed, twitching. 56Please respect copyright.PENANAMFQhq9SaZH
56Please respect copyright.PENANA4bOYf7kHcU
The remaining ogres froze. Their leader, clutching his bleeding leg, growled: “Retreat!” 56Please respect copyright.PENANAnm78QYx71N
56Please respect copyright.PENANAYbFeOkqznE
As the hulking figures vanished into the forest, Lu Feng slumped to the ground, drenched in sweat. The Shadowstalker nuzzled his hand, purring. 56Please respect copyright.PENANAV9dZbhji6Z
56Please respect copyright.PENANATgt6WazQaQ
“Good job,” he panted, stroking its fur. *I survived… barely. But this place is a death trap. Need shelter. Need to get stronger—fast.* 56Please respect copyright.PENANALcmvFS9Ssp
56Please respect copyright.PENANAaagrfNdJNz
A raspy voice chuckled behind him: “Not bad, kid. Taming a spirit beast in the **Interrealm Gap** on your first day? Luck’s on your side.” 56Please respect copyright.PENANADvFNW1Rimr
