“Mom, come out quickly and see the meteor.”


    “Ah, the meteor is flying towards us... It''s falling onto that old building across from us.”


    On the balcony of the third floor of Building B in Hengyang Residential Area, a little girl shouted excitedly, almost squeezing her small body through the gap in the protective railings.


    “Come back here, it’s too dangerous! How could a meteor fall here, my dear? If you behave, I’ll take you to see the little koalas later, okay?” A beautiful young woman quickly pulled the little girl back, gently coaxing her.


    “No, I want to see the meteor, not the little koalas.” The little girl pouted, feeling wronged that the adults didn’t believe her.


    However, though her words seemed far-fetched, there was one point she was right about—the "meteor" indeed fell onto the old building a hundred meters across from them.


    ...


    “Ahhh...” With a startled cry, Rossel struggled up from his bed, his forehead drenched in cold sweat.


    Just moments earlier, he had dreamt of being shot in the forehead by a mysterious black-robed figure, vividly witnessing the moment his head exploded.


    “Damn, it was just a nightmare.” Who isn''t afraid of death? Although Rossel was a broke young man with nothing to show two years after graduating college, and he had just lost his job yesterday, he hadn''t planned on losing his life so soon.


    No matter how hard life got, he knew he had to persevere, not just for himself, but to help with his younger siblings'' school expenses so that his frail mother wouldn’t have to carry the burden alone, especially since his father, due to frequent exposure to harmful gases at work, had retired and often needed hospital treatment.


    Like many, Rossel came from a rural background. After graduating from Jingnan University, he struggled to stay in the city, hoping for a better opportunity that would allow him to earn more and lighten his family''s load.


    Unfortunately, luck was not on his side. It seemed every job he got didn''t last long—not because he wasn’t willing to work hard, but because he seemed to clash with his bosses.


    Like yesterday—when he was handing documents to his boss, he accidentally witnessed the bald man harassing a young woman who had just graduated. Unable to hold back, he stepped in to help her.


    The result? Predictably, the bald boss, infuriated, fired him on the spot, not even settling half a month''s salary.


    Rossel considered seeking justice through the labor department, but as a young man from the countryside with no power or influence, he couldn’t win against a big boss, so he had to swallow his grievances.If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.


    Recalling yesterday''s events, Rossel still felt indignant, his eyes showing confusion. If faced with the same situation again, would he still intervene?


    The answer wasn''t clear. Maybe it was time for a change. In today’s society, honest people always seem to suffer. For the first time, Rossel’s lifelong values wavered.


    “Huh? How did a hole appear in the wall next to my bed?” Out of the corner of his eye, Rossel noticed something unsettling.


    Just inches from where he sat up, a smooth hole had mysteriously appeared, with a streak of sunlight shining through. The hole wasn’t large, just about as thick as a finger, but the eerie thing was that Rossel distinctly remembered the wall being intact before he went to sleep.


    Lying back down, he found the sunlight from the hole shone directly on his forehead.


    “Is it just a coincidence?” With that thought, Rossel felt his hair standing on end and a cold sweat running down his back.


    “Beep... Host’s mental activity detected to be exceptionally high, initiating system start-up.”


    “System start-up in progress—successfully started. Detected host blood compatibility with the Three-Eyed Tribe at 11.2%, exceeding the 10% threshold, initial fusion condition met, initiating autonomous fusion process.”


    “5, 4, 3, 2... Beep, fusion successful. Super Pet Beast System successfully integrated with host.”


    “First-time system activation detected, granting host a random pet beast gene and awarding 100 points. Your current personal information is as follows:


    Host: Luocheng


    Points: 100


    Strength: 7 (10)


    Agility: 7 (10)


    Spirit: 9 (10)


    Divine Energy: 11 (0)


    Host Skill: Divine Energy Feeding


    System Level: 1


    Pet Space: ''Ice Crystal Mother Fish'' seed*1”


    With the synthetic voice fading, a personal information display appeared in Rossel’s line of sight, showing his attributes and some strange skills.


    As a semi-recluse who spent plenty of time with online games and web novels, he immediately grasped the implications.


    “Could it be?... Did this so-called Super Pet Beast System break into my room and even implant itself into my forehead while I was sleeping?”


    Mouth agape, Rossel pinched his leg hard, feeling the pain cementing the reality—everything he saw wasn’t a dream!


    Taking a deep breath, excitement stained his cheeks as he focused on the pet space section of his personal information.


    In a blink, his view shifted, revealing a cubic meter-sized space before him.


    “The Ice Crystal Mother Fish seed, a spiritual life form, a treasured spiritual object aiding ancient immortals in cultivation. Hatch it, and you will gain unexpected rewards.”


    Inside the pet space was a small crystal vial containing the seed he was randomly gifted—the Ice Crystal Mother Fish seed, an item Rossel had never heard or seen before.


    His mouth opened slightly, instinctively reaching to grasp it, only to be surprised as a thumb-sized ice crystal bottle appeared in his palm with just a thought.


    Through the beautiful crystal, he could faintly see a rice-grain-sized ice crystal seed submerged in icy blue water. It appeared to be the spiritual seed of the Ice Crystal Mother Fish.


    The seed was far smaller than Rossel imagined. Swallowing hard, he hadn’t expected the system to grant him such a legendary spiritual item.


    With the tangible pet beast seed in hand, Rossel finally believed in the system''s existence. He closed his eyes to study the “Super Pet Beast System.”


    The Super Pet Beast System was divided into five main sections: Attributes, Host Skills, Tasks, Shop, and Pet Space.


    The Shop was particularly prominent. With a thought, Rossel entered the Shop, and a wave of information filled his mind.
