Lin Yuan was mortally wounded in a battle with poachers. As he lay dying, he transmigrated to the Terra Continent, where disaster ran rampant, and bound himself to some kind of System. As long as he caught enough “Pals” to unlock the base's entire tech tree, he could return to Earth.
He can see their attributes, traits, and capture methods, and use unlocked equipment to keep himself safe on his journey. To him, Terra's animal-eared girls and Furries are just little creatures who can work, seen through an anime filter. A long-horned Caster girl is probably a fire-breathing wyvern. A big-sis type with a halo might be a celestial being that drives people insane. When the bunny-eared girl who never does any work in his base gets sick, he sighs and goes to find a veterinarian. The vet turns out to be astonishingly tough, and may actually be a light mech.
As he ventures deeper and deeper into danger, projecting his influence into every corner of Terra and confronting its powers, kings, and even the unspeakable, he begins to waver. The road home means turning a blind eye to these little creatures' famine, war, pestilence, and death. Worse, it might mean becoming an accomplice...
Wait, who's behind me? What do you mean, “Bro, you smell so good”?
