Chapter 11 – Stepping into the Universe: Virtual Galaxy Awaits
Three days after the ship's activation.
A hidden hatch opened deep beneath the desert floor. Sand swirled into the air as a deafening hum began to resonate.
Inside the cockpit of the Black Dragon X81, Luo Chen sat calmly, secured in the sleek command throne.

[Virtual Universe – Personal Space Construction]
Whoosh!
A surge of light — and Luo Chen's mind found itself standing in a massive white hall made of geometric hexagons. The very floor and sky shimmered with data flow.
But this was not Earth's internet.
This… was the Virtual Universe — the most advanced simulation system created by humanity.

The light twisted.
Instantly, a massive floating island surrounded by waterfalls and stars constructed itself beneath Luo Chen's feet.
It had real wind. Real temperature. A combat arena, a high-gravity zone, a meditation forest — all instantly available.

In an instant, a monstrous beast the size of a house exploded onto the field. Its eyes burned red. The next moment, three humanoid warriors shimmered into place — each exuding deadly intent.
Luo Chen didn't hesitate.

BOOM!
The training island trembled as a storm of space-time energy exploded in all directions. Luo Chen flashed across the battlefield — slicing through one beast, snapping time on another, and sending a domain-pulse that crushed the final AI soldier's chest in a single blow.

[Would you like to accept provisional slot?]
> "Accept," Luo Chen said.

Back in the real world.
The Black Dragon X81 entered stable orbit around Earth.
Luo Chen's eyes opened. The holographic starscape before him was magnificent.
He watched the distant moon slowly pass across the view.
> "Feng… while you train for Fighter Rank…"
"…I'm about to shake the heavens."
He activated a hidden command line.
