Chapter 71: Balancing on the Edge of Evolution

As the door closed behind him with a soft hiss, an alarm blared through the room, its piercing wail sending a shiver down Zed's spine. A mechanical voice, cold and emotionless, announced, "Danger mode activated. This is a life and death training scenario."

Zed's heart raced as he took in his surroundings. The room had transformed into a misty expanse, and he found himself precariously balanced on a thin rope suspended at a dizzying height. Other ropes crisscrossed the area, barely visible through the swirling mist. The game system's voice echoed in his mind, explaining the purpose of this training: to master balance and harness the power of one's center of gravity.

A translucent game avatar materialized before Zed, demonstrating the training with fluid grace. Zed watched intently, his palms growing sweaty as he anticipated his turn. As the avatar faded away, Zed took a deep breath and stepped onto the rope.
