1 Help, I've Been Captured By A Monster

It was a dark and damp cave, and Meng Yang felt deeply desperate.

He was locked in a simple cage of thick logs. The cage was crudely made. It did not even have a lock or door latch. Although he tried escaping several times, he could not open the door at all.

The bars were so tough he did not know if it just wood or some kind of iron. They were very solid. Despite using all his strength, the door did not budge as all.

At this moment, Meng Yang realized there was a monster standing at a height of about 2 meters in front of him. It had a pig's head and a human body, like Pigsy. However, it did not look like the cute Sunny Piggy from the old version of the Journey to the West1. It was the ugly and scary kind like in the new remake version.

It had razor-sharp fangs like chisels and a mouth that reminded him of a glowing brazier when it opened up.

If he was watching a movie or TV show, Meng Yang would have complimented it with "NICE, amazing makeup". However, now he felt like he was going to crap and pee himself.

It was too scary!

"Huff——Huff——"

Two low-pitched growls came out of the monster's long muzzle that was covered with fangs.

Meng Yang suddenly felt his entire body tremble. He saw the pig-headed monster inspecting him with its pair of red eyes from outside the wooden cell.

Fortunately, in a flash, the pig-headed monster shifted its attention to the wooden cage next to Meng Yang. With a click, the pig-headed monster opened the heavy wooden door and dragged out a human native clad in rough clothing.

The man was terrified. He was screaming and crying loudly. Although he struggled frantically, the pig-headed monster's thick arm grabbing his neck did not budge at all. Rather, it was a little irritated by the noise. It suddenly shot its other hand out, quickly snapping the man's neck.

The shrill scream stopped in an instant.

Then, the pig-headed monster stripped the man's clothes off. It threw the body into a pool of water in the cave and began rinsing it. After that, it then picked up a huge cleaver that was more than 1 meter long. It immediately began mincing the body with the sounds of bones breaking. The horrific scene deflated Meng Yang's body, making his stomach churn.

"Young man, don't worry!"

While Meng Yang was being horrified by the scene in front of him, he suddenly heard a voice next to him.

Meng Yang looked in the direction of the voice. He saw an old man in a shabby robe who was trapped in a wooden cell next to him. The old man looked very decrepit. His eyes were cloudy. When he saw Meng Yang looking at him, the corner of his mouth moved slightly. "The pig-headed man will sleep for a day after eating. On those days, we'll be safe!"

"What?!" Meng Yang leaned closer. He looked at the old man. In shock, he asked, "You mean I only have a day left to live?"

"It's uncertain, maybe two days... If this animal is not so hungry, it may eat my old bones first," The old man replied in a light tone. He had a smile that showed that he had accepted his fate. "Ever since the City of Despair was breached, the humans living in this land have become snacks for these monsters, what difference does it make dying earlier or later..."

"One day, or two days?"

After listening to the words of the old man, Meng Yang turned pale. He scrambled to hide in the deepest corner of the wooden cage, hoping to stay as far away as possible from the purgatory-like scene outside the wooden cell.

"I'm probably the unluckiest transmigrator in history!"

Huddled in the corner of the wooden cell, a deep sense of powerlessness surged in Meng Yang's heart.

It only seemed that a few hours ago, he was still at home, eating McDonald's, drinking Coca-Cola, scrolling Weibo, and watching a livestream.

However, he had fallen asleep on the sofa. Then, he suddenly awoke to this strange world.

It was what it was. For people like Meng Yang who had no car, no house, no girlfriend, and no enthusiasm for life, the human world was not worth living anymore. There was nothing to miss back home.

However, when he first arrived in a different world, he found himself in the cage of a horrifying human-eating monster. He did not even get the time to explore the world. This was quite tragic!

Grunt——

Feeling with his palm as he scrambled around, Meng Yang felt a round object on the cold and wet ground.

Picking it up, he glanced at it. He found that it was a metal ball the size of a ping pong ball. The material seemed a little unusual. There seemed to be a faint glimmer of light coming from it.

"That's a summoning orb. It is also called a Summoning Pixie."

Among Meng Yang's confusion, the ragged old man in the wooden cell next to him spoke again, "Before you came, there was a powerful summoner stuck in your wooden cage, but the dimensional barrier was sealed, and the summoner could no longer summon any powerful existences from the abyss to fight for him. Hehe, in the end, he turned into food of the most despicable pig-headed man."

"What dimensional barrier and summoner?" Meng Yang felt the metal ball called "Summoning Pixie" in his hand. He was very confused. Could I have an extraordinary power after traveling to this extraordinary world? Wait a minute, the pig-headed monster has..."

"You want to try it? It's simple. Its previous master is dead. You can just drip a droplet of blood on it." The old man looked at Meng Yang. He seemed to be interested in the metal ball. He spoke with a lonely tone, "But it's useless. The summoner's era had long passed from this world."

After saying this, the old man seemed to be no longer be interested in speaking. He then laid on the cold ground, like an old dog that was destined to die. He was extremely serene.

"Dripping a droplet of blood is enough?"

Meng Yang looked at the old man who had laid back again. He then glanced at the metal ball in his hand again. "This method is a little lame!"

At other times, he would have sneered at the old man's words. However, now that things like traveling to another world had happened, he would try since he was going to die anyway.

Meng Yang endured the pain. After biting his finger, he squeezed a droplet of blood on the metal ball.

In an instant, a scene that very much shocked Meng Yang happened. After contact with the blood, the metal ball in his hand suddenly flashed. Then, it disappeared.

In the next moment, Meng Yang felt a sharp pain in his brain. He felt as if there was a ball of light in his mind.

"Great summoner, I am your Summoning Pixie." There was a voice in the ball of light.

"Summoning Pixie?" Meng Yang felt like he had goosebumps all over his body. "Damn, does it have to be so weeby? This makes me a little embarrassed!"

"So, how should I address you, Summoner?" The ball of light flashed.

"Forget it." At this time, Meng Yang already understood something about the Summoning Pixie. It should be something similar to artificial intelligence. Setting this topic aside, he asked, "What can I summon to defeat the pig demon, pig-headed man, whatever. Anyway, can I escape from here? "

"Master summoner, you have 5 summoner seats, you can summon powerful existences from the world you know to fight for you." The voice in the ball of light sounded again.

"Then hurry up and start summoning!" Meng Yang was a little agitated. He felt that there was no need for a powerful existence at this time. As long as he could cast a few earth elements, water elements, and the like, he should be able to beat the pig-headed man outside.

"Summoning..."

"Summoning fail!"

"The dimensional barrier with the abyss has been sealed!"

"Summoner, please choose a new world to proceed with the summon."

The Summoning Pixie's ball of light flashed for a while. The successive statements it gave quenched Meng Yang's excitement instantly. It was as if he was splashed by a bucket of cold water.

"It really is an outdated technology in this world!"

Meng Yang felt sullen. Remembering what the old man next door said about the dimensional barrier of the abyss being sealed, he probably meant this.

After calming down after a while, the thoughts in his mind changed. The abyss world was sealed. Then what about other worlds?

Thinking about this, Meng Yang then asked, "What about the Marvel World, Summoning Pixie? Or DC World too, a Captain America or a Superman, whatever, so long as they can one-shot the pig-headed monster, smashing it dead instantly."

"No world coordinates!"

"No world coordinates!"

...

"Continent of Azeroth?"

"No world coordinates!"

"Runeterra?"

"No world coordinates!"

In one breath, Meng Yang mentioned dozens of fantasy worlds from novels, movies, and games. However, all the replies he got from the Summoning Pixie was "World coordinates not found".

"Are the novel and movie universes lying to me?" Meng Yang was a little irritated.

"Unable to anchor the world coordinates, summoning failed."

"Unable to anchor the world coordinates." Meng Yang pondered for a while. Suddenly, an idea flashed upon his mind. He shouted towards the Summoning Pixie, "Then can I summon things from my original world?"

This time the Summoning Pixie did not answer immediately. Instead, the ball of light flashed a few times. Suddenly, it made a "ding" sound.

"I have established contact with the original world where the summoner is from."

"Sure enough." A jubilant expression broke over Meng Yang's face, "It seems that the summoner needs to know the world beforehand in order to proceed."

The Summoning Pixie's ball of light flashed. "Summoner, please make a reasonable summoning under the conditions of the original world's law. The summoning of creatures is random. Summoning requires a contract with the creature."

"Is it so troublesome?" All the joy that had just swelled in Meng Yang disappeared. He frowned slightly. "Urgh, it is reasonable that it requires a contract."

He remembered the scene in a movie where the protagonist and a demon signed a contract. It was probably like this.

'So, I would have to swindle my way through?'

"I got it!" Standing up, he thought for a while. Meng Yang suddenly remembered a way. "SMS, sending messages! Summoning Pixie, I want to send text messages to my original world."

"A method that abides the rules of the original world, it is accepted."

"Haha, okay!" Meng Yang slapped his thigh. He could not help praise his own wits for a while. With that, he began to compose the text messages he wanted to send.

"Hello, this is Meng Yang. I was captured by a monster from a different world. I need you to rescue me..."
