My Mysterious Left Hand

In the dark jungle, Li Chen, carrying an axe, kept searching for traces of the dog thief.

This evening, his old yellow dog was stolen.

When he went to feed the dog, he only saw blood and drag marks; the leash had been taken away.

"That despicable dog thief!"

Li Chen harbored resentment in his heart.

He had no parents; the old yellow dog was his only family.

The old yellow dog that had been his companion for nineteen years did not have a good end in its old age; it was killed and eaten by dog ​​thieves!

Dog thieves are utterly despicable!

The fog on the back mountain is very thick tonight, and the further we go, the lower the visibility becomes.

What's strange is that this fog seems to make people lose their way.

Even Li Chen, who was very familiar with this area, felt disoriented at this moment.

"I don't remember feeling this way before. Am I out of my mind from anger? Why am I so dizzy?"

Li Chen frowned slightly.

Not only was he dizzy, but he also inexplicably felt an emptiness in his left palm, and he always wanted to grasp it.

That unprecedented emptiness in my palms was unbearable.

Suddenly, the thick fog in his vision surged like a tidal wave, startling him so much that he instinctively raised his left hand to shield his eyes.

[Spatial Attribute +1]

A thought came to mind.

Immediately afterwards, Li Chen was surprised to find that the surging mist had dissipated considerably.

He suddenly looked down at the inside of his left palm—

That's right, the inside of the palm, not the surface of the palm.

Inside the palm of my left hand, there seemed to be a special space.

That special space was not seen directly by one's own eyes, but rather sensed.

In a daze, he seemed to sense an almost completely transparent ball of light inside.

That ball of light must be what's known as spatial properties.

"Have I lost my mind? How could this happen?"

Li Chen frowned, and for a moment suspected that he might be hallucinating because of his anger and sadness over the theft of the old yellow dog.

Just as I was wondering, a figure suddenly appeared in the distance.

He thought it was a dog thief, so he quickly gave chase.

However, after chasing for only ten meters, a figure suddenly appeared in another direction.

Before he could see the figure clearly, an even thicker fog appeared, obscuring his vision.

Furthermore, the churning of fog reappeared, and the dizziness from before returned.

The dizziness grew stronger and stronger, and gradually it even felt like the world was spinning.

"What happened?"

Li Chen knew something was wrong. As his body swayed precariously, he subconsciously shook his left hand to maintain his balance.

The next moment, it seemed as if a portion of the surrounding mist was being drawn away by an unseen force.

At the same time, the message "[Spatial Attribute +1]" appeared in his mind again.

"this……"

Li Chen looked at his left palm and, sure enough, saw another almost completely transparent ball of light in the special space inside his palm.

"Isn't this just my imagination? Or have I gone mad, or has some kind of mutation occurred to my left hand?"

He was shaken, feeling as if the worldview he had built up over the past nineteen years had collapsed.

"Can I actively acquire these so-called 'attributes'?"

With that thought in mind, he immediately did it, his left hand once again grasping at the air as he had done unintentionally before.

Although I really wanted to chase after the dog thief, the fog in front of me was too annoying. I couldn't see the mountain road and had no idea which direction to chase in.

If his mutated left hand could dispel the fog, it would be easier to catch up.

Just then, another thick fog rolled in.

[Spatial Attribute +1]

Another spatial attribute was acquired by the left hand, and the fog in front of them immediately thinned out a bit.

"It actually works? That's so unbelievable!"

Li Chen was both surprised and delighted, and took advantage of the increased visibility to chase after them again.

Then, an even denser fog surged in, wave after wave, accompanied by an increasingly severe feeling of dizziness.

"Damn it, what happened? The fog on the back mountain wasn't this thick before..."

He was filled with doubt and uncertainty, but at the same time he dared not be negligent. He quickly stretched out his left hand again and kept making grasping motions.

[Spatial Attribute +1]

[Spatial Attribute +1]

The mist, surging like waves, was diluted time and again, and the spatial properties it contained were captured.

At the same time, the dizzying properties of the fog are weakened as the spatial properties are captured.

Just as Li Chen was feeling happy, he suddenly discovered that his left palm was full, with ten spatial attribute light orbs appearing inside, and the previous feeling of emptiness was gone.

However, without the feeling of emptiness, it is no longer possible to grasp spatial attributes.

Without his left hand to fight off the increasingly dense fog, that intense dizziness returned, followed by waves of irresistible vertigo.

"Damn it, am I going to faint here?"

Just as Li Chen was getting worried, he suddenly noticed an incredibly large tree not far away.

That tree was at least two meters in diameter, with a tangled root system and lush foliage.

"How is this possible? How could such large trees appear on the hill behind my house?"

He found it hard to believe.

Strangely, as he got a clearer view of the tree, the dizziness began to subside.

Just then, another figure appeared around them, a middle-aged man also holding an axe, seemingly brought by the surging mist.

From another direction, a middle-aged woman carrying a basket on her back emerged from the mist.

Figures also appeared one after another from other directions.

"What happened?"

"Damn it, what the hell is this fog?"

"I was on my way home, what the hell am I doing here?"

Exclamations rang out, accompanied by unease and panic.

As the fog dissipated, Li Chen gradually saw those people clearly.

Those people were almost all from several nearby villages. Even if you didn't know them personally, they looked familiar and you could roughly guess their surnames.

Li Chen was also somewhat flustered because he discovered that towering trees had appeared in other directions as well.

Even under his feet, some plants he had never seen before appeared.

Through the treetops, he saw bright starlight, a sight no longer visible on Earth.

Considering the sudden change in environment, the intense dizziness he had felt earlier, and even the ten spatial attributes he had unintentionally acquired—

"Have we traveled through time?!"

Such absurd speculation surfaced in his mind, making him increasingly uneasy.

"Damn it, where's my dog ​​meat?"

Suddenly, a shout of cursing pulled Li Chen back to his senses.

He turned his head sharply and saw a young man with dyed yellow hair holding a bone, chewing on it.

Upon seeing him, the blond-haired man's expression changed slightly, and he subconsciously threw away the bone in his hand.

Li Chen's eyes instantly turned red, and he charged forward with his axe, shouting, "Chen Zhangming, it was you!"

Chen Zhangming was his neighbor, a fellow villager.

Just a day earlier, they had a conflict when the other party harassed a minor girl and was taught a lesson by him.

He never expected the other party to retaliate against him in this way!

"It wasn't me... What do you want?"

Chen Zhangming's expression changed drastically.

Seeing Li Chen's axe coming down, he was horrified and instinctively stretched out his arm to block.

With a "whoosh," the axe handle was severed by an unseen blade, and the broken axe spun and smashed into his chest.

The excruciating pain caused him to scream and stagger backward.

This sudden turn of events left both of them stunned.

Li Chen looked at the axe handle in his hand and was surprised to find that the broken edge of the handle was as smooth as a mirror.

Before he could react to what was happening, a giant beast suddenly rushed out of the darkness, bit one of the men, and then charged back into the darkness.

"Holy crap, what was that thing just now?"

Everyone who witnessed this scene was terrified.

Before they could react, another giant beast charged out and dragged the second person away.

"A monster..."

"Run!!"

The people around finally realized what was happening, their faces changed drastically, and they turned and ran in a panic.

"What kind of monster is this?"

Chen Zhangming was so frightened that he was about to turn around and run away.

Li Chen snapped out of his daze and quickly chased after Chen Zhangming, kicking him to the ground.

"Li Chen, what are you doing? A ferocious beast is coming!" Chen Zhangming was so startled that he quickly got up and frantically tried to block the attack.

Li Chen ignored him; all he wanted now was revenge for the old yellow dog.

"Pfft pfft..."

The two exchanged blows quickly, and the axe handle that he swung down was cut off by an unseen blade the instant Chen Zhangming parried.

Li Chen had to stop because he only had a small piece of wood left in his hand.

Chen Zhangming was completely stunned, and suddenly looked at his arm, a look of surprise and uncertainty flashing in his eyes.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Li Chen kicked the opponent in the abdomen, and just as the opponent subconsciously raised his palm to strike down, he pulled his leg back and quickly took a few steps back.

"Has this guy's hand mutated too? Or has he awakened some kind of ability?"

His eyes were unpredictable, sometimes bright, sometimes dark.

Across from him, Chen Zhangming's expression gradually became excited.

He sensed that an invisible blade had appeared on the surface of his arms.

Moreover, this blade can be controlled by oneself.

"You were happy when you hit me, weren't you?"

He grinned maliciously at Li Chen, then suddenly charged forward.

But just then, a ferocious beast spotted them and pounced on them.
