Cyrus found the decision easy; Tough Skin. The survivability it gave was something he wanted. He stepped into the next room.
Second Topic: Sword Combat
Good Luck
The room was white, and non-descript. Then, he heard a voice.
“Hello! My name is Teach, and I am here to teach you sword combat.”
Cyrus looked to the side and saw a white humanoid with no features and a sword in hand.
A noise once again emanates from the humanoid.
“Brandish your sword and fight!”
Cyrus did just that. He charged
SLASH
“OW!”
SLAM
“ACK!”
He was in pain. A lot of pain. He had been fighting this humanoid for over 10 minutes. He had been slashed and slammed countless times. He finally got another nice hit, but Cyrus was also slashed in response, but it was enough.

Your spirit is your true shield… and this
Clearly, the training was working. The humanoid “Teach” also talked to him throughout the training. He would critique his form and give advice. As the training went on, it became more natural to fight, a sign of the skills and system as this kind of growth wouldn’t be possible before the system. Another 30 minutes passed of constant fighting. He was out of stamina, muscles strained, and bruised and bloodied everywhere. And all that showed for his effort was a small dent on Teach’s side. It took a while and a lucky Power Strike to even hit him. Cyrus raised his sword again, the sword was as sharp as ever, but then Teach began to talk.
“I have one last thing to teach you. Focus your mana into your sword, a constant flow. This should strengthen it. Good luck!”
CHALLENGE INITIATED
Sword Combat
Defeat the Avatar of Arrogance
Good Luck
The air thickened with tension as Cyrus surveyed his opponent. The Avatar of Arrogance, those words alone sent a chill down his spine. A demonic figure emerged from a black abyssal portal, its lumbering form casting an eerie silhouette in the room. Dismissing his trepidation, Cyrus remembered Teach's advice and attempted to infuse his sword with magic. The arcane connection resisted his efforts, but there was no time for dwelling.
Avatar of Arrogance (Sealed) (LV 25)
Suppressing his emotions, Cyrus adopted a strategic stance. Panic wouldn't aid him; he needed to focus on survival. The Avatar wielded a massive, fiery club, a slow but formidable adversary. Dodging and swift strikes would be his tactic. Fortunately, he felt restored, healed, and energized before facing this foe. Determined to unlock the secret hinted by Teach, he again tried to channel mana into his sword, but it remained elusive. With no other option, he readied his blade. The battle commenced. Quick dashes, strategic slices, and a vigilant eye on the Avatar's movements. Progress was slow, Cyrus’s frustration mounting. After an ambitious slash, he found himself overextended, and the Avatar's club swung menacingly. Unable to evade, he raised his shield, bracing for impact. WHOOSH. The impact reverberated through his being as the club met the shield.
You Have Been Slammed By A Club (Blocked)
-600HP
Cyrus cursed inwardly, blown back by the force, hastily rolling away from another impending strike. He couldn't afford another hit like that. Seemingly sensing the urgency, his magic finally yielded, seeping through his sword. Striking a balance between agility and caution, Cyrus continued the struggle. A calculated swing struck the creature's knee, but his sword became lodged. Desperation set in as he tried to free it, but the Avatar's club caught him off guard.
You Have Been Slammed By A Club
-300HP
His left shoulder and arm went numb, and he dropped his shield. Feeling the surge of magic, he directed it all into his sword, lunging at the creature. The blade found the front of its thigh, cutting through demonic flesh. Winding up for the final blow, Cyrus chopped at the neck of the fallen Avatar.

The head rolled, but Cyrus was in a lot of pain.

Fuck. Cyrus thought about the absurdity of around 3 billion human deaths in 3 days. It was just so hard for him to internalize and comprehend. If the population of his home country of The United States were to die 9 times over, it wouldn’t even reach 3 billion deaths. He lay on the ground covered in blood for a while, recovering his lost HP. After about 15 of laying down, Cyrus propped himself up and examined his new sword. It was a crimson-red scimitar with veins of black running through it. It looked pretty badass in his opinion. He stood up and walked through the door.
