Zeph spent the next eight hours in VR, completely immersed in understanding his new weapon.
Private training lobby, no other players, just him versus System-generated opponents of increasing difficulty. The virtual space was clinical—white floors, neutral lighting, nothing to distract from pure combat analysis. He'd configured the environment to be as sterile as possible, removing any variables that might interfere with his learning process.
He started with Level 20 training dummies. Basic enemies with simple AI that let him practice CP generation and combat flow without the pressure of actual danger. These were the kind of opponents that would never challenge him in real combat, but they served a crucial purpose—they let him observe the mechanics in isolation.
Fight → generate CP → assess threat level → decide when to unleash Calamity Strike.
