A man stood at the center of a pristine white cubic room.

His rolled-up sleeves revealed solid muscles, and a bead of sweat trickled down from his well-groomed black hair onto his forehead.

As he took a deep breath, tensing his muscles, a woman’s voice echoed throughout the room.

[Evasion rate: 98.5%. Passed. Would you like to proceed to the 10th stage test?]

"Start."

Beep—

Whizz! Whizz! Whizz!

At the sound of his voice, an alert tone rang out, and metallic spheres began shooting out at terrifying speeds from the previously blank white walls.@@novelbin@@

"Hoo."

The man held his breath, lowered his head, raised his arms to guard, and began weaving. The spheres streaked past him with deafening whooshes, barely missing his body.

...

Beep—

[10th stage test complete. Evasion rate: 95%. Passed.]

[You have cleared the final stage test.]

[Terminating program.]

Whirrr—

The top of the capsule opened, and the man who had just been in the white room sat up. Though it was a different body from the one in the virtual space, a faint sheen of sweat remained on his forehead.
