Chapter 2: Fight for survival 01
'Breath in... breath out..... breath in... breath out.....'
Slowly, I opened my eyes again. My heart was beating faster because of this strange feeling. As soon as I opened my eyes, I was once again stunned but in a totally inverse way. A dry dark coloured mountain with no signs of life, barren land, and heavy air.
Visible small cracks ran through the land, and a purple coloured gas came out of the cracks. No matter where I looked, I couldn't see anything other than dark mountains and barren lands. Soon a large withered tree caught my attention, I couldn't help but recall a horror movie scene.
'Where am I ?'
'What the hell is happening?'
This time I couldn't control myself, the atmosphere was too spooky and this utter silence didn't help at all.
'Stay calm.. stay calm.. stay calm.. everything's fine stay calm.. stay calm.. '
Huff.. Huff..
I cooled myself down with a deep breathe and as if to pour cold water on my hopes, suddenly a digital screen appeared before my eyes and started talking in an emotionless tone
[ The Trial will start in 2 minutes ]
[ Choose a weapon of your choice ]
My mind started running at full speed to grasp this situation. There's no point in thinking all the other things. I need to go with the flow to figure out something.
'There are only two minutes.'
'I have to choose a weapon carefully.'
'I don't know how to use any weapon.'
'Characters in the novel mostly use a sword or spear as their main weapon.'
'Using a spear feels uncomfortable because of its length.'
' I think short sword will do.'
' Nah, let's try daggers.'
' They are more comfortable and easy to use.'

[ Normal dagger :
Forged from iron with perfect balance
It has average sharpness and durability ]
' Wow this is a real dagger.'
A cool looking pair of daggers with a nice grey coloured handle appeared in my hands.
I swung my dagger two to three times to get the hang of it. How should I say it? It's quite similar to a knife except it's weight and length. I should be fine with this.
' It's simple and lightweight.'
Then suddenly, a howl of a wolf reverberated throughout the entire dark mountain
Howl.. howl..
A chill run down my spine after hearing that howl and my heart started beating faster.
[ Time remaining till the trial starts : 30 seconds]
[ Kill the mutated wolf in 15 minutes to pass the trial ]
[ Failure : Death ]
A deep red coloured wolf with crimson eyes appeared near the withered tree. It's sharp fangs looked like razor blades that can cut through anything. A tight muscular body and deep red coloured fur added more to his ferociousness.
Gulp..
' I have to kill that thing?'
As soon as my eyes meet crimson wolf, my ears went deaf, and my mind blanked for a second. My heart beat became even faster and my throat went dry.
' Focus.. focus... stay calm.. stay calm..'
' A wolf can attack with its mouth or claw.'
' Wolf's speed is its greatest advantage.'
' Looking at it's skin I think I can cut through with enough force.'
' Eyes are its greatest weakness, I should focus on attacking them.'
' Those fangs and claws are dangerous I need to be careful of them.'
' As for finishing blow I need to aim for either its heart or head.'
' Attacking head won't be a problem but I think it will be hard to cut through, then heart it is .'
I got into a normal stance, one dagger to parry it's attack and the other to attack.
[ Time remaining till the trial starts : 00 second ]
[ Trial Begin ]
