Chapter 1 - Chapter 1: A Second Life

The cries of crows echoed across the barren village, their black wings silhouetted against a blood-red sunset. Lin Feng groaned, his body aching as though he had been trampled by a herd of elephants. Slowly opening his eyes, he was greeted by a dilapidated roof of dried straw and wooden beams.

"Where... am I?" Lin Feng muttered. The last thing he remembered was working late on his thesis about evolutionary biology back on Earth. Now, he found himself in an unfamiliar world, with a splitting headache and a gnawing hunger clawing at his stomach.

A rush of unfamiliar memories flooded his mind. His name was still Lin Feng, but he was no longer the modern man he used to be. Instead, he had been reborn as an orphan in a desolate village called Clearwater Hamlet.

"An orphan? In a village barely hanging on?" Lin Feng grimaced as the memories solidified. His predecessor had struggled to survive by scavenging scraps and doing odd jobs for the villagers. But there was more. This wasn't an ordinary world—it was a world ruled by Beast Tamers, individuals who cultivated alongside contracted beasts to gain strength, status, and power.

Lin Feng staggered to his feet and stepped outside. The village was as pitiful as he had seen in his memories—small, cracked huts, fields of withered crops, and gaunt villagers barely managing to stay alive.

"Great, not only am I an orphan, but I'm also in the middle of nowhere," Lin Feng muttered, his voice laced with sarcasm. Yet, despite the grim setting, a fire ignited within him. He had been given a second chance at life, and this time, he wasn't going to squander it.

Before he could plan his next move, a commotion drew his attention.

...

At the edge of the village, a group of children had gathered around something, their laughter loud and mocking. Lin Feng approached, curiosity piqued. As he got closer, he saw the object of their ridicule: a small, scrawny lizard. Its body was covered in dirt, and one of its eyes was missing. The creature squirmed feebly as the kids threw stones at it.

"Pathetic beast! Can't even fight back!" one of the boys jeered, raising another stone.

Lin Feng frowned. "Hey! Leave it alone!" he shouted, stepping forward.

The children turned to him, startled. "Why do you care, Lin Feng? It's just a useless lizard. No one wants a beast like that," one of them said dismissively.

Lin Feng ignored them and crouched beside the lizard. As he reached out to touch it, something extraordinary happened.

"Beast Detected: Cyclopean Lizard (Mortal Tier, Low Grade)"

"Unique Ability Activated: Eyes of Evolution"

Evolution Paths:

1. Poisonous Swamp Basilisk (Spirit Tier)

2. Crimson Armored Wyvern (Celestial Tier)

3. Abyssal Warden Dragon (Divine Tier)

Lin Feng froze, his heart racing. Floating in front of him was a translucent screen displaying the lizard's potential evolutions.

"What... is this?" he whispered. It didn't take long for him to understand. This was his cheat, his golden finger in this world! He could see the evolutionary potential of beasts, a power that could reshape his destiny.

A grin spread across Lin Feng's face as he looked at the battered lizard. "They call you useless, huh? Let's show them how wrong they are."

He scooped up the lizard, ignoring the children's confused looks. Without another word, Lin Feng walked back to his hut, determination burning in his eyes.

...

That night, Lin Feng sat cross-legged on the floor of his hut, the lizard resting on a makeshift bed of straw. He examined the translucent screen again, noting the requirements for the beast's evolutions.

Path 1: Poisonous Swamp Basilisk

- Feed it toxic herbs.

- Let it grow in a swamp environment.

Path 2: Crimson Armored Wyvern

- Provide high-energy mineral stones.

- Train its physical endurance.

Path 3: Abyssal Warden Dragon

- Requires exposure to abyssal energy.

- Unknown materials.

The third path intrigued him, but it seemed far beyond his current capabilities. For now, he decided to aim for the second path.

"Crimson Armored Wyvern... a Celestial Tier beast. If I can evolve you into that, we'll have a fighting chance in this world." Lin Feng smiled at the lizard, which blinked its one good eye at him.

This was just the beginning. Lin Feng had nothing—no wealth, no family, no connections—but he had this power. With it, he would carve out a place for himself in this ruthless world, one beast at a time.

And it all started with this so-called "useless" lizard.
