Void Training [1]
*****
Nothingness. Pitch black nothingness.
That's what Amon found himself in, after he fainted.
He had been floating in this void for hours, without any contact with Zephyra, or even his [Status].
At one point, he might have just gone mad but for some reason, he felt oddly relaxed.
It was as if there was nothing in the world to bother him, to occupy his mind.
But suddenly, the space around him moved, just like the scene after his death.
As if the fabric of reality itself was being shaped, the space molded and stretched apart.
Finally, a system interface opened.
_________________________________
Initiating [Void Training].
Please prepare yourself.
_________________________________
'Wait....[Void Training]?' Amon questioned in his mind, feeling some familiarity with the word.
It was then that a sudden realization struck him.
After his assimilation, there was a〈Training〉tab on his status screen.
'It's probably that.'
Just as he finished his thoughts, the nothingness around him had finally finished transforming.
It was now a completely different landscape.
He was now standing on a floor completely made of cosmic stars, with the bright starry sky stretching out for as far as he could see.
Basically, he was standing in space.
It was the same place as the expanse he had arrived in, during transmigration.
The only difference was the lack of any walls or furniture.
There was nothing here. The whole floor was completely empty for as far as the eye could see.
As he finished taking in all the changes, a new system interface opened up in front of him.
________________________________
Please choose one weapon.
The chosen weapon shall be the only one available throughout the training, so choose carefully.
_______________________________
Simultaneously, a shelf stacked with different weapons and their further types, appeared right beside him.
Moving his gaze from the window, Amon started to scan through the weapons that would be useful to him.
There was no doubt in his mind that he did not know how to use any weapon, except a sword.
Even in terms of sword, he only knew the basics with some techniques, thanks to his beloved father.
His father had learnt swordsmanship as a part time hobby in his youth, and following that, passed it on to him.
Even in Amon's body, he felt that he had some certain experiences with sword and daggers.
Why and how? He did not know.
The body's past was something that was unknown to him.
And though he planned to dig into it, there was no time for that right now.
Coming back to the present, he decided to choose a sword.
According to the novel and his father, a sword wasn't the best in one category unlike spears who specialized in long range and hammers which specialized in offensive attacks.
But, they were the most versatile out of all weapons.
The only problem that Amon had with swords, was that some types were short ranged which can be a major problem for a clover later on, who needs to deal with long range spear wielders.
With his gaze passing over all the sword types, he swiftly decided the sword type he wanted to use.
An ōdachi
It was naturally longer than most sword types, but also not that long like a spear.
It's weight was also perfect as it wasn't that heavy, which was expected for long ones.
Due to its perfect weight and balance, it could also be wielded both single-handedly and two-handedly.
It was difficult to use and wield than other easier swords, yes, but this was exactly why he had selected it.
Since this was described as training, Amon doubted he would die or get crippled here, which gave him the perfect chance to learn this sword.
Carrying it in his arms, Amon observed its structure.
It was a menacing, black bladed and formidable sword, one that perfectly suited his needs.
Taking it off the shelf, another notification popped up in front of him.
___________________________
The Weapon [Odachi] has been selected.
Do you wish to confirm it as your weapon of choice?
Yes/No
___________________________
Nodding internally, he confirmed.
'Yes.'
And the interface vanished into blue motes of light, along with the shelves.
Following that, the void space shaked with a powerful tremor, throwing Amon almost off his feet.
And with that, numerous structures started to erupt from the ground.
Ranging from destroyed buildings, to broken cars and much more.
It basically turned into a destroyed city, with even the flat void ground, turning into uneven, broken streets.
In tandem, a multitude of grotesque creatures appeared in the streets from golden motes of light.
Their skin tone was like the void, a cosmic one with stars embedded at every inch.
However, their anatomy differed greatly. In such a way, he had never seen such creatures in his life.
They did resemble some creatures of Earth, a little. Some were similar to bears, to hornets, to leopards, etc.
Another thing, he strangely realized, was that he was feeling no fear at the moment.
No, even taking fear aside, he was feeling nothing at the moment. No emotion.
Complete hollow.
Realizing this fact, made a shiver run up his spine, at the scariness of it all.
At that moment, another system interface opened up in front of him.
________________________________
Commencing [Void Training], please get ready.
For the training, use of the following is not allowed:
-Blood
-Lightning
-Zephyra
________________________________
Surprise flickered through his eyes.
He had almost expected that [Blood] and [Lightning] weren't going to be allowed, since it was a training specified for his [Void] element.
However, he had not expected [Zephyra] to be restricted from this training.
Or maybe she had done it herself, it was her space after all.
Shrugging at the window, Amon took on a stance, while also unsheathing his odachi.
He tried to recall his and this body's memories.
Following that, he heard a ping resound in his head, signaling the start of the training.
Simultaneously, every creature's bloody eyes locked with his ink black ones.
He started walking slowly towards them, before slowly increasing his speed overtime.
One of the bear-like monster roared with anger, and initiated a charge towards him
Fixating his indifferent black eyes on its body, Amon suddenly felt an influx of skill information being engraved into his muscles.
He had just learned a [Void] skill.
Wanting to use it, Amon changed his run into a shoot towards the bear, closing the distance between both faster.
However, just as there were few meters left between both, his body blurred with a purple hue, before completely disappearing with a blink.
Sudden confusion stopped the charge of the bear, making it wonder where its prey had just gone.
All of a sudden, it felt a similar presence above, it quickly raised its head to confront him once again.
However, just then, the tip of the odachi dug deep into its skull, with Amon crashing on its head, killing the bear.
Just like that.
Raising his black eyes, the boy now looked at the multitude of monsters charging towards him to avenge the loss of their companion.
Strangely, even then, not a speck of fear rose in his body and his lips parted.
"Next."
