As the countdown reached its end and the text "Match Found" appeared, Yves felt a surge of adrenaline rush through him.
Suddenly, he was engulfed by darkness, and when he opened his eyes, he found himself in a wide, open area.
Taking in his surroundings, Yves realized he was standing on a slightly elevated square platform made of solid concrete.
It provided a sturdy foundation beneath his feet. In his hands were the Z-Steel Daggers he had chosen moments ago from the menu—a pair of shiny blades with a clean, sharp design.
The weight of the daggers felt balanced and comfortable, reminiscent of the Poison Fang Dagger but slightly lighter. It was just right for a heavy-type dagger.
As Yves glanced down, he noticed that he was also clad in the Z-Steel Light Armor he had selected. The armor covered his body efficiently, providing protection without hindering his movements.
