Room No. 205
Time: 10:25 am.
Peak of summer. Summer vacation.
Only those who had something to do, or they don't have a valid reason to go back to that home they had lived in for 18 years, decide to stay on campus.
In the holy reason of studying, all they still do is gaming, roaming if they had cash in the jack, and if nothing, they can leach off a heavy wallet and cash cow from the dorm.
"Oi! Scalder." A shout woke up the sleeping lad. Who looked at the burly guy in annoyance until he heard something really good? That shook off all of his sleep, and he jumped down from the top bunk.
"Good lad." Li Feng jumped from his bed and got changed while looking at the rundown mirror.
"Fuck! Stop being show off for a loner. Didn't learn a thing from that break-off, I guess." Chen Kai sneered and grunted as he observed Li Feng taking his time, causing Li Feng to falter at his friend's remarks.
"God bless you with experience of being impaled by those white faces." Li Feng did not hold back. As he hurriedly cursed at Li Feng for being callous, the man felt a chill from the north blow through his back.
'Hmm! What's this...'
After having a nice long mashup.
When Lin Feng returned before nightfall, he finally lay down on his bed with the food he had ordered from the corner. He was quite exhausted from meeting up with his ex-girlfriend and her new shake-off.
'It is really a shitty day. Guess, play some game to steam off this shitty mood.' Taking out his smartphone.
Lin Feng again saw the notification from this morning that caught his attention before he left for that party.
[Monster Tamer: Let's catch them all.]
'Hmm! Not a bad title, I guess.' He thought. While opening the application, that got downloaded within a few seconds due to low data and size.
And along with the few click, Lin Feng tried to install the application and finally found it's interface.
Li Feng had just downloaded the mysterious app, titled "Tamer Application." The icon glowed faintly on his phone screen, pulsing like a heartbeat.
He tapped it once, and the screen turned dark, as if the phone had shut off. Just as he was about to check if something went wrong, a voice began to speak, clear and resonant.
"Greetings, Li Feng. You have been chosen as the sole tamer of this era."
The screen lights up, displaying a figure that feels as real as if they were standing before him—a tall, wise-looking man dressed in flowing, ancient robes with faintly glowing symbols along the edges.
His hair is tied back, and his eyes glimmer with a knowing look. Let's call him Master Shen. He raises a hand in greeting, as if acknowledging Li Feng's presence.
"I am Master Shen, the guardian and guide of this Tamer Application. I exist solely to assist you on this journey of discovery and conquest."
The screen shifts, showing a swirling array of creatures—some fierce, some mystical, some that almost feel familiar.
Li Feng watches entranced as they move across the screen.
"With this app, you hold the key to capturing powerful creatures, each with their own unique abilities. But be warned—this application has bound itself only to you. No other being can access it, nor will they know of its true nature."
The screen changes again, now displaying a level indicator beside Li Feng's name.
"As you grow, the creatures you can capture will grow in strength as well. But you must be vigilant—only creatures up to one level above your own may be tamed. To surpass this limit, you must advance, conquering challenges and capturing creatures to increase your power."
With a final gesture, Master Shen steps back into the screen, his form dissolving into a symbol resembling a dragon coiled around a mountain.
His voice echoes one last time. "Go forth, Tamer. Seek strength, seek wisdom, and claim the world of creatures that lies hidden in plain sight. I will be watching."
'Wow! Nice CG, I guess.'
"Shit... That was not CG. I am sure that guy was standing on my smartphone. It was not a CG; it definitely had that weight." Lin Feng cursed out loud. As he watched the smartphone on the bed, and with a clear mind, he tried to shake off the feeling from before and rationalize his mind before taking any action.
After calming down.
'He definitely said that I am a tamer.Then, what I need to tame.' Lin Feng thought calmly, and with that thought, the character panel that was displaying the level and other things changed into a graphical map that projected above his smartphone.
[Would Host like to:] [Play] [Reject]
'Eeek. Is this real? Haaaa. Let's give it a try.' With chaotic thoughts. An organized feeling aroused within Lin Feng's mind.
His current level of rationality was exceptional, which is not a trait a boy of this age should possess, but it was also the main characteristic of Lin Feng.
A deep sound of breathing resounded the empty room as Lin Feng's finger touched the [Play] holographic image, and along with it, his mind blanked off.
'Haaah!' A silent chill.
Along with the sizzling sound of something from the atmosphere rang within the empty room.
The room remained the same, but the structure itself gave off the feeling of chilly silence and erriness that Lin Feng's mind was starting to get influenced with.
'What the hell? I really got teleported.' Lin Feng muttered when the smartphone beeped with a noise that attracted Lin Feng's attention toward it.

'Now this is getting more like game.' Lin Feng thought, and when he thought about what would happen if he were to die,.
He received all the information he needed from an electronic device, and he was shocked to learn that he would not experience any pain and that he would be able to resurrect immediately in five seconds until he had used up all five of his lifetimes.
Even if he did use them all, he would still be able to receive one lifetime every four hours.
'This is engaging. Though I don't think I will try to die off easily as a gamer.' With that surreal feel.
Lin Feng thought he might be the only one who would be able to enjoy a reality-like game like this, so it was definitely a waste to let it rot in his smartphone.
[Host will be able to call the tame creature in his planet.]
[Also, he will be able to use all of his skill in reality too.]
[So, I hope the host will let us enjoy this show.]
'Oh, they are watching me fight from the sideline.' Although it was the first time, Lin feng was playing a weird game like this.
However, he had practiced family martial art for at least 12 years of his school years, so it would be dishonest of him to claim that he was reluctant to try all of the moves he had learned in combat but refrained due to ethical concerns.
'But I can duke it all out in this world, I guess.' With a wide grin, Lin Feng unsleeved his shirt, and by loosening his clothing, he changed off into combat form.
