"YAS, I finally created something, not shit, Kahahaha!"
Finally completing the forging his weapon Cristian stumbled to his knees, feeling exhaustion overwhelm him. Over the past week, he had continuously been forging weapons without looking after himself properly, even going as far as just sleeping less than 4 hours a day.
Despite his body not having any detrimental effects due to the stat upgrades, but being sleep deprived and also working nonstop for a whole week still took a toll on his mental health.
Cristian laid down on the ground, his chest heaving as he caught his breath and rested. After a few minutes, he turned his thoughts towards what he should do now.
~Cristians POV
"~The eye of the tiger! oh god, I really need to steal...I meant borrow new CDs. As inspiring and motivational these rocky training music are, they kinda get tiring after a week of nonstop repetition. Anyways let's get back to the main point. I reckon we need to start with that footwork that Emily used back then and also I have to get used to wielding a heavy sword"
"As for magic, I currently have earth and fire manipulation. Improving my Earth magic would probably be the wisest decision as it would give me a few more life-saving skills, as I presume earth magic would greatly increase my defences, thereby giving me a higher chance of survival"
"While on the other hand, Fire magic would surely increase my attack damage greatly, and like a famous saying once said an attack is the best form of defence the assertion that a pre-emptive strike is the most effective way of protecting oneself."
"Hmm...while earth magic would definitely be the wisest decision as it would be kinda badass to just stand still and tank all the damage, but I don't have any confidence in getting through that thick armour the undead giant was wearing with the attack I currently have. Well that settles it, I'll practice my footwork and fire magic"
Finally making a decision, I threw myself into grinding again.

"Thank god! it has finally shown itself" I teared up a bit after finally getting the skill that was the source of undergoing hours upon hours of harsh practice.

"Well time to work on my fire magic, Que music wahaha!" shouted out while putting the eye of the tiger song again for the 200th time.

Cristian backflipped, his movements rough but sure as he moved around illusively. His footwork was agile, moving with a single-minded grace he hadn't possessed before.
"Fuck you!" He jumped off at breaknecking speed creating an explosion below his feet and slicing his heavy sword upwards created a flame wave which burst forth upwards.
The heat produced by the flame wave cause a visible distortion in the air, evidently from the high temperatures that the flames generated.
Woosh... woosh...
His heavy sword cut through the air as he moved it forward with tyranny, slicing against imaginary enemies. He ducked, rolled, and leapt off ground, smoothly dodging to the left and attacking again.
Ever since he had figured out what he needed to do, Cristian had thrown himself into training with the sword.
The only thing Cristian pursued at this moment was to gained power. Enough to survive the trials that he will face in the future.
In the realm, where there existed nothing but himself, the ground, and his blade, the only thing Cristian figured he could pursue would be his sword arts.
"Huff…huff… Status" Cristian paused, wiping the sweat off his forehead as he called up his Status window and had a look at the blue see-through screen in front of him.

"Are you ready, out there undead giant? Cuz I your daddy will give you a taste of my big sword for scaring me earlier. But first I need a nap, Ill tell yea training takes it out of you. " He mused aloud, while blankly looking out into the boundary of the realm. He blinked a few times, his face hardening, and renewed his spirit, throwing himself on his bed and getting ready for the fight that will soon occur.
