Beast Hack: Customizing Beasts and Capturing Beauties - Chapter 231

Chapter 231: A Virtual Hell? Loreia is About to Face the Training of a Lifetime!
Lucius had given Luna and Liora permission to train Loreia, but there was another problem. His Hack Points were empty.

Without them, he couldn’t send them into the virtual world, but before he could think further, his stomach growled.

Lucius blinked as he suddenly remembered about the food that Loreia was supposed to have brought back.

He turned toward Loxen, his eyes narrowing. As he observed Loxen closely, he noticed something strange.

Aside from the scent of blood, there was another smell coming from Loxen. Lucius’s gaze sharpened. “…Loxen.”

Loxen’s tail flicked uncomfortably, and he immediately stepped back.

Lucius exhaled slowly. His eyes became cold. “So, you ate the food she brought?”

Loxen’s ears twitched, and after a brief moment, he lowered his head in submission. “…Sorry.”

Lucius sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose. “I should’ve expected that.”

With the food issue gone, another thought crossed his mind. He glanced back at Loxen. “Did you bring their corpses?”

Loxen nodded and, without hesitation, dragged out the bodies of Deon and Galwin from the shadow.

Lucius stared at their corpses and, in rage, kicked them furiously. “How dare you have any intentions toward my sister?”

For a brief moment, he let his anger out by kicking them and soon exhaled slowly as he regained his composure back.

These corpses weren’t just trash. They were potential Hack Points. He stretched out his hand, activating his system.

Slowly, the corpses began to melt, dissolving into energy as the system absorbed them into Hack Points.

—

[Hack Points Gained: +30]

—

Lucius frowned slightly after seeing the amount of points that he got. “Only 30?”

Lucius sighed as it was low, but it was better than nothing. At the very least, he had some points to work with.

Lucius turned back to the system. This time he gave another hack order. “Hack them all and send them into the virtual world.”

Lucius also didn’t have many Hack Points, so he had to be strategic. The best option was to maximize their training time.

He added another hack. “One night in reality will be one full month in the virtual world, and also made all of them start at the lowest level without any cultivation.”

The reason why Lucius added the last order, which made them weak, was because he didn’t have a lot of points.

—

[Hack Initiation: Virtual World Immersion]

[Targets: Luna, Liora, Loreia]

[Effect: Transfer Consciousness into a Virtual World for One Night (Equivalent to One Month Inside)]

[Condition: All Begin at the Lowest Level]

[Cost Required: 30 Hack Points]

[Status: Executing…]

—

Lucius saw the required costs and he had expected it. The system didn’t hold back, using all his points at once.

Lucius could only sigh as he turned to see the immediate effect of the hack.

Luna and Liora, who had been standing beside him, suddenly collapsed.

Their bodies went completely limp, their breathing slow and steady.

Loreia, still unconscious on the couch, also remained still as they were all sent toward the virtual world of his choice.

Lucius leaned back, rubbing his chin as he watched them. “One month, huh…”

He then glanced at the clock. By morning, they should have come back from it.

For now, there was nothing else to do so he closed his eyes and slept. “Let’s see what they become when they wake up.”

—

A vast desert stretched endlessly under the scorching sun and in the middle of this barren landscape, there were three figures.

Two of them were Luna and Liora, who woke up first there.

Luna sat up, brushing the sand off her clothes before stretching slightly.

A small smirk appeared on her face. “It’s been a long time since we’ve been here, right, Liora?”

Liora, standing beside her, gazed across the endless dunes. She remained calm, taking in their surroundings. “Indeed. It has been a long time.”

Then, beside them, another person who was Loreia immediately woke up as well.

The moment she opened her eyes, she gasped in fear. “W-Wait! Don’t kill me!”

Her body jerked, scrambling back on the sand, her breaths rapid and panicked.

Her hands grasped her torn clothes instinctively as her mind reeled.

Then she looked around. Her fear quickly turned into confusion. “…What the hell?”

She looked at the vast desert. “Where are we? What happened? Where are those bastards—Deon and Galwin? And that Silver Shadow Panther?!”

Luna and Liora exchanged glances before turning to Loreia, trying to calm her down.

Luna crouched down and put her hand on Loreia’s shoulder. “Calm down, they’re not here anymore.”

Loreia’s breathing began to slow down. Her eyes also darted between the two of them, searching for deception.

When she found none, she let out a shaky breath and gradually calmed down, becoming more composed. “…Okay.”

Loreia looked around. Her brows furrowed as she scooped up a handful of sand, letting the grains slip through her fingers.

Loreia could also feel the rough texture of the sand in her hands that felt so real. “This had to be a dream, right?

She turned to Luna and Liora. She was a bit uncertain. “Are we… really in a desert? Or is this some weird dream?”

Luna immediately smirked. Without warning, she teased her by reaching out and pinching her cheek hard.

Loreia immediately jerked back, rubbing her cheek. “Ow! What the hell?!”

Luna folded her arms, grinning. “See? It hurts. That means this isn’t a dream.”

Loreia’s face twisted in shock. “…Wait. So this is real?! How the hell did we get here?!”

Liora, standing beside Luna, let out a small chuckle. “You don’t need to worry about that.”

She took a step closer, cracking her fists. “What you do need to worry about… is your training.”

Loreia froze when she heard that. “…Training?”

Luna stretched lazily, rolling her shoulders. “Yeah. That’s why we’re here.”

Loreia’s expression darkened. “Train me? For what?”

Liora tilted her head slightly. “To make you stronger, of course.”

Loreia blinked, taking a slow step back. “…I don’t like where this is going.”

Luna’s grin widened. “Oh, you’re going to love it.”

Loreia held up her hands defensively. “Wait, wait! Let’s just… talk about this! Do I even have a choice?!”

Liora sighed dramatically. “No, you don’t.”

Loreia groaned. “I figured.”

Luna cracked her knuckles, her smirk turning slightly wicked. “Alright, enough stalling. Time to begin.”

Loreia took another step back. She was in panic. “H-Hey! At least tell me what we’re doing first!”

Liora smirked. “Simple. We’re going to push you to your limits.”

Loreia’s eye twitched. “That’s not simple at all!”

Liora immediately lunged forward without any hesitation.

Loreia screamed. “W-Wait! Let’s talk about this first—!”

Luna only smirked. “Too late. The training had begun.”
