Trial by Wilds
The forest thickened around Keysa as he ventured deeper into untamed lands. Shadows shifted beneath towering trees; unseen eyes watched his every move.
The wilderness was unforgiving — full of deadly predators and challenges that tested every ounce of his growing power.

A low growl echoed. From the underbrush, a massive beast lunged — its claws sharp as daggers, teeth gleaming like shattered bone.
Without hesitation, Keysa summoned 20 swords that sliced through the air in a precise flurry. Each sword struck simultaneously, severing limbs and tearing flesh.
Combat Move: "Blazing Fang Cleave"
Swords ignited with fire, striking the beast's jaws and paws to disable its attack.
The beast howled, staggering before collapsing under the relentless assault.
A flash of scales caught Keysa's eye—a venomous snake slithered silently toward him, fangs bared.
With a swift parry, a single sword flashed, decapitating the serpent before it could strike.
Further ahead, the rustle of undergrowth heralded a tiger's approach. Agile, fierce, and deadly, it sprang at Keysa with lethal precision.
Combat Move: "Lightning Dance"
Keysa moved at 100x lightspeed, his swords spinning in a whirlwind around him.
Each blade struck vital points, stunning the tiger in rapid succession.
The tiger lunged once more, but Keysa phased through the attack, his body intangible for a moment. Countering instantly, he summoned a spear of concentrated energy, piercing through the tiger's heart.
Lions roared in the distance, a pride circling. Keysa's eyes narrowed.
The forest erupted as he faced the pack, his swords flashing in lethal arcs.
Combat Move: "Storm of Blades"
50 swords spun at hypersonic speeds, creating slicing cyclones that cut through the lions' charge.
The ground trembled under his relentless assault.
Victorious but vigilant, Keysa pressed onward, stepping out of the dense forest into an open plain.
Ahead sprawled a vast city — towering walls, bustling streets, and a maze of alleys. The air smelled of smoke, metal, and unknown ambitions.
