Ye Chen transmigrated to a parallel world. In this world, everyone who was 18 and above would enter a chat group named Monster Chat. From there, they would summon their pets.Each person only had 10 chances of summoning pets and one chance to form a bond with a pet. Right at this moment, a voice rang in Ye Chen’s head:[Ding! Successfully activated the Unlimited Summoning System.][Congratulations for summoning pet: Dark Princess (level 8)][Congratulations for summoning pet: Alchemist (level 7)][Congratulations for summoning pet: Female Asura (level 7)][Congratulations for summoning pet: Goddess (level 9)][Congratulations for summoning pet: Demon Fox (level 10)][Congratulations for summoning pet: Nyuwa (level 10)]……This was an era where humans, monsters and pets coexisted.

The tyrant was on the brink of death—so weak even a fly could’ve finished him off.And Riley did just that, drawing every last ounce of strength to bite off the demon’s head.Victory? Not quite. A final, desperate strike from the Demon Lord pierced him from behind, killing him instantly.But fate wasn’t done with him yet.Riley awoke ten years in the past—when the online game [Apocalypse] was launched.
