T/N: Warning: This entire arc has dubcon. There's controlling/abusive 'BDSM' elements in the story that are completely opposite of what I've come to understand the BDSM community to be. I HIGHLY recommend you skip this arc if you don't like that kind of thing.

**If you or anyone you know is in a relationship like this, please get away from the person as soon as possible.

----------------------------------------

Before Qiao Chen even opened his eyes, he smelled the scent of earthy, damp mud. It had compressed under on his back and was probably stuck to him like glue. The gravel under his body made him feel uncomfortable too. When Qiao Chen opened his eyes, he could only see a bright light shining through a hole over his head. Other than what rays of light shone through the opening, he was surrounded by pitch black.

Qiao Chen sat up and rubbed the back of his neck. It throbbed with pain every time he moved his head. It was obvious, that someone attacked him from behind and then threw him into the cave after he was knocked out.

Before Qiao Chen could recall the events in this life, he felt something wrong with the atmosphere. A sharp tingle ran down his back and Qiao Chen immediately surveyed his surroundings. As he looked around, he saw hundreds of green eyes glinting from the darkness. Each pair stared at him intently.

'They were wolves!' Qiao Chen cautiously looked at those green eyes and quickly used the system to obtain the world's information. He needed to immediately figure out how to deal with the situation at hand. His gut instincts were screaming at him, so he didn't waste anymore time.

Qiao Chen was currently surrounded by wolves, but they were nothing like the common wolf. They were wolves with a thorny bramble ability. The bramble wolves were extremely ferocious and notoriously difficult to deal with in this world. A single thorny bite from these beasts would seriously injure or maim the victim- if they were even able to survive that single bite from this beast.

Previously, they couldn't tell whether Qiao Chen was dead or alive, so they patiently and motionlessly waited. However, now that Qiao Chen had woken up, the glint from their green eyes clearly portrayed their intent to attack. The wolves recognized Qiao Chen as an intruder in their den.

If Qiao Chen was just an ordinary person in this life, then even if the system helped, it would have been child's play for these wolves to slaughter him. Luckily, this body had very powerful abilities. Unluckily, the abilities were extremely unstable and required the use of mechanical shields to maximize the user's capability to wield their abilities.

Qiao Chen slowly and cautiously picked up a mechanical shield that was dropped nearby. Qiao Chen turned on the device under the moon's light to check if it could function. It was just as Qiao Chen expected, the mechanical shield's ability activator function couldn't start up. The defense system couldn't start up either either. Only the recording function was barely able to turn on. Qiao Chen's brain raced.

There was no time to repair the mechanical shield, and he didn't have any tools to repair it anyways. Qiao Chen had no choice but to have the system use the shortest amount of time to stabilize the abilities in his body and continuously strengthen it. This cheat was his only hope of survival. He had get strong enough so he would be able to use his abilities without a mechanical shield.

Qiao Chen looked at the pair of green eyes as it methodically approached him. His defenses were up and attention spread as he readied himself against this onslaught. Qiao Chen sweated profusely due to the system running its programs at top speed. Technically, the rate of improvement was faster than his body could handle.
