After a period of time, Mazino woke up from memories of the past.
It no longer mattered; the past was nothing more than a headache and nonsense that invaded your mind with excessive thinking. The essence of the matter is the necessity of learning from past mistakes, gathering oneself, and commanding the creation of the 'Akagi Clan of Destruction.'

"The linking process has begun...
...
...
After a long period of silence, approximately four hours, the linking process between the domain and the Earth finally concluded.
'The operation was successful. The host's level is low... Summoning operation failed... Failure... Failure...'
Damn it, I expected this. Nothing goes well with this system.
'The host must reach the third level of the sky world and will be able to summon 1,000 soldiers.'
Damn it, only a thousand? My clan has millions, and I can only summon a thousand? Damn, what is happening here? Did everyone die from the radiation or something?
Ding
'The number of soldiers you can summon is linked to the host's power level. The higher your level, the more soldiers you can summon.'
Damn it, this system only knows one thing: leveling up.
Well, from everything here, the training domain is the only area I haven't explored yet. I wonder if there will be someone in charge.
Certainly, there will be. In the Clan's headquarters, there is no one in charge because I consider myself responsible for the domain.
So, since this domain is for training, I wonder how the person in charge will be. I suppose they will be very powerful; otherwise, they wouldn't deserve to be in charge of the training domain.
Let's find out...
This training domain seems smaller than the other two domains, which is strange. It should cover a larger area.
All I see are 99 giant towers that almost reach the sky. As usual, everything is covered in black and red.
Each tower carries a specific symbol at the top, but I don't know what they mean. They are strange symbols resembling the head of a monster.
This is clearer on the first tower, with its symbol resembling the head of a burning dragon. What is this? Is this a dragon that burned itself or something? It's ridiculous...
Well, let's see what happens.
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...
Zzzz...
Tatatatata...
Zzzzz...
Booooooooooom!
What the hell is happening? What the fuck?
Immediately after I set foot on the ground, the same thing that happened with the skeletal structure repeated itself. But this time, something went wrong. This figure didn't appear before me in its complete form.
But the world is almost collapsing. This reminded me of the moments of nuclear bomb explosions.
Damn it, I think this world is about to collapse.
What the h...?
Hell, what...?
Damn it, barely half of a strange creature's upper body appeared in front of me. It only had a head, one arm, and its chest.
Suddenly, an extremely dark and terrifying aura of murderous intent emerged.
Damn it, what the hell is this thing? I don't even know if it's human or what. Everything about it is covered in black, sword-like scales, and some of these scales have red heads.
This aura of the creature exploded and started corrupting the domain.
Suddenly, this creature raised its head and looked at me. I felt a suffocating emptiness in its eyes. Damn it...
Ding
'The embodiment of the Training Domain supervisor has failed. The entire dimension is unsustainable. The host's level is very low. The responsible entity, Zinako, will be put back into dormancy. Execution of the process is underway...'
As the system carried out its instructions, Mazino glanced disdainfully at the being called Zinako. He uttered each word intermittently, "Very... low..."
Suddenly, Zinako extended a finger towards Mazino, unleashing a small dark vortex that pierced his head. Mazino felt a suffocating sensation akin to death. He desperately wanted to scream aloud, but his voice failed him. The thought briefly crossed his mind: Is this creature trying to kill me?
Mazino's face turned red with pain and anger. "Damn this nonsense! Do you think I fear you because of this aura, or because I don't even know what kind of creature you belong to? Damn it! I won't die before achieving my goal, you eye!"
He forcefully suppressed the pain and collected his shattered self. "The Balance Axe!" Mazino called upon his precious weapon and struck with all his might against this cursed being.
But before he could hit it, he saw it smile, and half of its body began to disappear. "Good. At least you possess some courage," the figure said, leaving behind those words before completely vanishing from Mazino's sight. Damn it, what exactly is happening?
"Ding"
Brief introduction about the Training Domain supervisor: Zinako, the leader of the Training Domain. His full name is Zinako, the King of the 99 Hells. Each of the 99 Challenge Towers contains 9 levels, each serving as a vast realm designed for infernal training to rapidly enhance one's power. The first tower is called 'Hell of Hells,' and each tower has its own king. Zinako is the king of them all.
Mazino inhaled a cold breath as he absorbed this information. Damn it, this is madness. But the question that currently occupied his thoughts was the role of such a powerful figure within his own domain. Damn it, I'm eager for the day when these cursed kings stand by my side. I can't even imagine it.
Mazino burst into hysterical laughter, causing water to escape from his eyes. Yes, it was water, for we do not shed tears, my friend. Ha-ha-ha...
Wait, what was that black vortex anyway?

The host has obtained a special skill from the leader Zinako out of pity. The skill is called 'Shadow Strangulation,' which allows the host to directly absorb energy from the sky and earth. It also enables the extraction of energy from the creatures it kills, thereby accelerating training. The experience points system will be removed, and the skill will be utilized instead.
Suddenly, a wealth of information flooded Mazino's mind about this skill and how to utilize it. Damn it, despite giving me this skill out of pity, he's right. I do indeed feel like more than just a mere insect amidst all of this.
Inside the energy gathering center (Dantian), a black whirlpool slowly formed. Nevertheless, Mazino sensed the immense amount of energy being drawn from the sky and earth by this whirlpool. Damn it, this is madness...
