Misfortune… What even is misfortune?
Some people say they've suffered misfortune because they didn't get a promotion or missed their train. Others cry about a broken phone or a bad breakup.
But to Lin Feng, those things were mere inconveniences.
No one knew more about misfortune than him!
Real misfortune was being born cursed.
His mother passed away while giving birth to him.
His father, an alcoholic and a heavy gambler, acquired a lot of debt and vanished one day, never to return.
Left behind with a sick body and an older sister who worked herself half to death to keep him alive.
Lin feng had poor health since he was little. He'd been in and out of hospitals more times than he could count.
He and his sister were also saddled with countless debts thanks to their father!
His sister had no other choice but to drop out of school to work multiple jobs just to afford his treatments and pay off the ever-growing debt their father left them.
And then fate played.
As if life hadn't already been unbearably cruel to him.
Fate struck Lin Feng with yet another devastating blow.
On what seemed like just another exhausting day, his beloved sister—his only remaining family, collapsed and slipped into a coma after a hit-and-run accident while on her way back home from work, late at night.
But tragedy didn't stop there. As she lay unconscious in the dark night of the street, the reckless driver heartlessly sped off, leaving her broken and bleeding behind.
She was later rushed to the hospital by some passers by who had spotted her unconscious and brutally injured on the deserted street.
While in the hospital bed layed unconscious, valiantly fighting for her life and was at the verge of death.
The doctors assured lin feng that she will get better, but all assurance were nothing more but false hope.
Days turned to weeks and weeks to months and despite his desperate prayers and sleepless nights at her bedside, she never opened her eyes again.
Eventually, her heart gave out and with it, so did a piece of Lin Feng's soul.
He stared at the sterile white ceiling of the hospital room in hollow silence, the smell of antiseptic burned into his memory.
A storm raged within him—not just of grief, but extreme sorrow and bitterness.
How could the heavens be so merciless? Why was it always him?
"God why my sister!!!"
"She is all i have,You should'nt have allowed her to die" Lin Feng cried out in deep sorrow.
At that moment, Lin Feng began to question the very existence of God. If some divine power truly ruled the world, and why did it choose to turn its back on him.
Left alone in this cruel world, there was no time for Lin Feng to complain about his misfortune and no time for him to pray for good fortune!
Lin Feng started working part-time jobs inother to survive.
He also had to sell most of his belongings to meet his needs but was later kicked out of his house because he couldnt pay up his rent went it was due.
At night Lin Feng had nobody to stay with, no family or friend to assist him, So he had no other choice but to sleep on the street.
He started living in the street working his exhusting job, living from hand to mouth, fighting for his survival.
Unfortunately his sickly body started becoming weaker and weaker with each passing day.
Sick, lonely, and exhausted…
Eventually, his body also gave up the ghost.
Everything went blank…
As his vision turned black…
When everything faded to black, Lin Feng thought it was the end, That he had already died.
He expected nothing more than a peaceful void.
But then…
Lin feng slowly regained his consciousness but his body still felt numb.
"…Ahh? I feel… weirdly light…"
His vision—or whatever a floating soul's perception was—flickered into clarity.
White mist. An endless space. And himself?
He wasn't himself anymore. He was a glowing sphere of soul energy.
"I'm dead, huh…"
"Such a pitiful soul…"
The soft, creaky voice made him turn—if turning as a soul was even possible.
There stood an old woman with cloud-like hair and kind, misty eyes.
"I'm Granny Meng. Welcome to the crossing between life and death," she said kindly. "You've suffered greatly, child…"
Lin Feng didn't speak. He didn't have a mouth anymore. But he thought—I just hope my sister wakes up.
Granny Meng nodded as if she heard him.
"Your karma is heavy with sorrow. But balance must be kept. A soul who suffers so much is given a chance… a chance at something new."
Lin Feng blinked—or he would've, if he had eyes.
Granny Meng pulled out a small cup.
"This tea will help you forget your past life. In your next life, you'll be reborn in a mystical world of spirit beasts.
" You shall reincarnate as a wolf, a noble one, destined to grow powerful. A wolf of ancient blood."
"Wait… A wolf?!"
Granny Meng chuckled.
"A strong creature. You'll roam a mystical world full of cultivation, battles, and fate beyond comprehension"
Lin Feng trembled in place.
"So… a new life as a wolf? In a fantasy world?!" he thought
"Drink, child. Your journey begins anew."
With no other choice, he slurped up the shimmering tea… but halfway through his passage through the glittering samsara tunnel…
BZZZZZZZZZTTT!!!
The entire space trembled!
"WH-WHAT THE—?!"
Lin Feng twirled uncontrollably.
He coughed—somehow—and the tea came spewing out. "BLEEUUUURGH!"
Back in the land of the dead, Granny Meng paled. "Not again! That damn monkey messed with the tunnel! Great Sage Heaven's Equal, I'll skin you next time I see you!"
Granny Meng stomped and shouted curses that echoed through the white void.
Meanwhile…
I puked it out…? That means… I'll remember everything?!
Just as Lin Feng was processing that terrifying revelation, a strange voice echoed in his mind.

"Huh what was that?!
"System?!"
" I was given a system?!"
"Like those in novels?!!"
"Yoo!!!!!
"You'av got to be joking"
"Woah ohh!!!"
Lin Feng's excitement skyrocketed.
[Due to your past life trauma, you have been reincarnated to a new world and compensated with the wolf Evolution System.]
In that cue, a translucent midnight black panels with words written in faint blue and crimson red appeared before his eyes.
"Woah!!!"
"What does this say"
Lin Feng said to himself, curious to know what was written on the panel.

" i shall dominate all and rule as KINGGGG!!"
Excitement built in Lin Feng's soul. He giggled madly, but then quickly corrected himself.
"Ahem! I must act cool, Calm. Like a lone wolf. Stoic and Mysterious…"
As he regained his senses, he began to feel something again. His limbs twitched. His vision turned from white to greenish-brown as light filtered through leaves.
And then…
Furry paws. Snow-white fur. A long tail that swished behind him.
"You've got to be kidding me…"

"Whoa, hold up…", so I'm actually a baby wolf."
A beat of silence hung in the air.
"WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!!?"
