Bugged From the Start: I Spawned as a Parasite-Chapter 1 – What a garbage game

The year 3121, outskirts of Tiannan City, Qingning Road, Lin'an Community.
"Is this really the game that's been in development for a thousand years, combining all top-notch technologies?"
Inside the game "Star Domain," Chen Yuan looked at the lifelike surroundings.
In the distance, the forest was lush and green, and the sky was a deep blue.
Even the fur on the wild creatures was so realistic it was frightening.
Feeling the breeze brushing against his body, everything seemed incredibly real!
"Ugh, what a garbage game. I've played so many games, and I've never seen one this bad.
Developed for a thousand years? It's been almost a year since the public beta, and such a huge bug still exists. With this technology? No wonder it took a thousand years to develop!"
Chen Yuan grumbled angrily while continuing to control his game character to attack, making a last-ditch effort.
As his attack landed on the wild creature, a glaring red number 0 floated above its head, so red it was blinding!
[Ding] "You attacked the target, causing 0 damage. Unfortunately, you couldn't break through its defense."
[Ding ] "System friendly reminder: Have you looked in the mirror today? Who gave you the confidence to stroll around here being such a weakling? Did you equip your gear? Did you take your weapon? Did you allocate your attribute points? Did you learn your skills? No? Then hurry up and get lost."
Seeing this system message made Chen Yuan furious.
Thinking for a moment, he opened his personal attributes, which he had already checked several times, hoping for some change.
[User]: 0000000001
[Name]: Parasite
[Level]: 0
[Race]: Decoration (just a bit ugly)
[Aptitude]: Z (The game's lowest potential is F, but that's not your limit.)
[Health Points]: 0.001
[Mana Points]: 0.001
[Physical Attack]: 0.001
[Magic Attack]: 0.001

[Racial Talent]: Z
[Talent One] Dependency Level 1 (0/0): Must attach to a host to survive. When the host dies, it randomly seeks the next host nearby to attach to.
[Talent Two] Loyalty Level 1 (0/0): This is a bug with good quality, 100% loyal to the host, able to not despise, abandon, or give up.
[Evolution Points]: 0/10
[Talent Points]: 0
With these attributes, who wouldn't be angry? All stats are 0.001; how can you fight with that?
This race, this potential, these talents, which one is useful?
They're all just for show!
Talking about equipping gear? Looking at the empty inventory, Chen Yuan just wanted to ask, did you even give me beginner's gear?
The most bizarre thing is this game character, it's ridiculously big, almost 20 millimeters long.
A parasite crawling on a wild wolf!!!
Who has ever seen such a bizarre character?
When he first entered the game, Chen Yuan thought his game character was the wild wolf, but later, when he moved the character, he found out the wild wolf didn't move.
Upon closer inspection, he discovered the parasite stuck on the wild wolf, and Chen Yuan was almost angered to death by its ugly appearance.
He considered himself quite handsome, so how did he end up with such an ugly character?
This character doesn't even have an equipment slot, no hands or feet, even if he had beginner's gear, Chen Yuan couldn't equip it.
This character is clearly a bug, and Chen Yuan was initially planning to the bug to the officials to claim the billion-dollar bug reward.
But there was no feedback channel!
The game didn't have any built-in features like that, not even a game forum like other games have.
And the "Star Domain" promotional material boasted an absolutely fair equipment trading platform and a real-world currency exchange platform, but none of these existed.
None of them, absolutely none.
Chen Yuan's game character seemed completely isolated from these things.
Chen Yuan sighed as he watched the scenery for a while, regretting the half a year he spent repairing the game helmet, which now seemed like a waste of time.
Could it be a problem with the helmet?
With this thought, Chen Yuan was about to exit the game to the bug on the official website, wondering if the officials were planning to deny the billion-dollar reward.
***
Suddenly, his perspective shook violently, almost making him nauseous.
"Couldn't you at least give me a heads-up before you start running?" Chen Yuan yelled at the wild wolf.
But obviously, the wild wolf couldn't hear him.
At this moment, the wild wolf was fiercely fighting another wild wolf, biting and tearing with ferocity.
"What's there to fight about, both of you are just wild creatures?"
Chen Yuan watched the two wild creatures in confusion; this game was strange, it was his first time seeing wild creatures fighting each other.
Just as he was engrossed, a claw swiped past him, almost killing his trash character on the spot.
The battle started quickly and ended quickly; in just a minute, the other wild creature was killed.
[Ding] "System: Your host has defeated the opponent. As a parasite, your all attributes have become 0.002."
Chen Yuan stared blankly at the system prompt, looking at the attributes that had all become 0.002. Did he misunderstand something?
Could this game not be like traditional games where you level up by defeating monsters, but instead have your host defeat monsters?
Thinking this way, it seemed quite innovative.
Chen Yuan then tried to attack his host, this time intending to seriously check the wild wolf's attributes, as he had only glanced at them initially.
[Name]: Wild Wolf ★★★
We are "pawread.co𝑚", find us on google.
[Aptitude]: D
[Level]: 2
[Health Points]: 7/25
[Physical Attack]: 5
[Physical Defense]: 1
[Skill One] "Bite Level 2 (2/20): Each attack deals 150% of current attack damage, with a 3% chance to cause the target to enter a bleeding state for 3 seconds, losing 2% of health per second, cooldown 30 seconds."
[Talent One] "Self-Healing Level 1 (1/10): After exiting combat, recovers one health point every 10 seconds until fully healed."
[Description]: This is an ordinary wild creature, but it's not ordinary because it has D-level aptitude. If a leader were to emerge in their pack, it might just be this one.
Chen Yuan was stunned by the attributes of this wild wolf, feeling like he had taken a massive hit.
An ordinary creature's attributes were thousands of times better than his.
The wild wolf started at level 1, and after leveling up to 2, it gained 5 health points and 1 physical attack. As for the three stars after the wild wolf's name, he had no idea what they meant.
Looking at the wild wolves roaming around, Chen Yuan thought for a moment.
The parasite's host, the wild wolf, kills one creature, and the parasite gains 0.001 to all attributes.
Was he out of his mind to think this was an innovative gameplay mechanic?
This means it would take killing a thousand creatures to get all attributes to 1!!
A thousand! A thousand, how long would that take?
The most crucial thing is, he can't even control this wild wolf.
