Chapter Four: The Test of Shadows

Jin-su was making his way through the dense forest. The nocturnal creatures began to come out, their eyes glowing in the dim light. He didn't fear them; instead, he welcomed the challenge.

Suddenly, a system alert popped up.

"Warning! High-level monster detected. Beast of Shadows, Rank: A, Level: 20. Proceed with caution."

Jin-su's eyes shone with anticipation. An A-ranked monster would be a perfect test for his new weapon and his skills.

He moved towards the monster, his steps soundless. Soon, he saw it - the Beast of Shadows. It was a giant wolf-like creature, its fur as black as the night. Its eyes glowed red, radiating malice.

Without wasting a moment, Jin-su activated his skill.

"Shadow Strike!"

He charged at the beast, his shadow blade slicing through the air. The beast howled and lunged at him, but he was faster. His blade cut through the beast, and it fell with a thud.

Jin-su looked at the fallen beast. His heart pounded with adrenaline. He felt alive, invigorated. He had passed his first real test in Elysium.

His eyes narrowed as he thought of his next move. He was just getting started.
