"Facing against Muzan directly if physically impossible right now as i don't have enough strength, but i have to do what i can."
[The tension rose as you approached Muzan Kibutsuji, who just stood there staring at you, you approached cautiously]
[Ding! Facing the main antagonist. Activating immersive simulation][YES/NO]
"Huh..."
"System, what's immersive simulation?"
[Immersive simulation is a sub function of the multiversal simulation, it involves the host's consciousness descending into the simulation itself when an important event is about to occur, during which all the experiences that occur will be transmitted back to the main body. It can also be done manually]
"What are the benefits? This seems extremely dangerous, though. "
[The benefits are stated thus
*Improved combat sense
*Access to learning skills
*Opportunity to keep one current simulation talent]
"Damn, the gains might actually outweigh the loss." John thought for a moment before he made up his mind and clicked YES.
John felt his mind go blank as the cold instantly chilled his bones, his entire surroundings became white, he was facing a beautiful pale faced man in a black suit and white slacks and tie.
"...Who are you to stand before me." The man talked softly, but he had a commanding presence.
Muzan Kibutsuji, the original demon, the first abomination in the world of Demon slayer, this guy was insanely powerful, with an insane regeneration speed which baffled the mind but for some reason he had a cowardly nature . Like they say, there's nothing more scary like when opposites come together. He was a powerful coward. The fear John felt was palpable, but beyond that fear was a sense of awe, unknown to him the talent
"I'm no one important." John decided to remain cryptic.
"So a nobody swordsman decided to stop me, THE GREAT MUZAN." He voice seemed to go up an octave towards the last part of that sentence. John smiled grimly and didn't dare to respond.
"What's wrong, cat got your tongue ?" Muzan smiled menacingly as he walked toward the swordsman before him thinking of capturing the rest of the Kamado family that bitch had sacrificed herself to buy time for the brats to escape he had taken his time catching up to them until they met up with their oldest sibling along with the swordsman before him. The snowstorm had slowed him down considerably but the scent of the girl's blood was still strong enough for him to follow until now, it wasn't a mistake to mark the eldest girl child, the solution to his problem was almost solved as long as the experiment succeedes, he was this close to standing in the sunlight, his eternal weakness can finally be solved, But this swordsman still stood fearlessly in his way, he had to be dealt with, perhaps he would kill him slowly by first removing his internal organs and watch as he writhed in pain as he pleads for his life then he would break each of his fingers one by one until he pleads for death to come fetch him but that won't happen yet....oh what joy, this was the appetizer before the gruesome death he would inflict upon the Kamado family for that wretched Sun breathing technique but nonetheless it was time to deal with this pest.
John watched him approach with a determined gaze he stood still in the standard Quick draw pose with his legs spread apart, as far as he knew getting closer was a death sentence, but he rushed in anyway.

John felt a surge in power, and then he seemed to have gotten lighter. He rushed in a zagged pattern towards Muzan.
"Oh, you are quite fast for a pest."Muzan mused
John was within reach as he bent down at waist level, and changed his center of gravity to perform an upward cut{kiri} so he unsheathed his katana.
"Uchi-toshi{upward drop}...."John swung his katana upward, once it made solid contact with Muzan's neck he immediately followed it with a downward motion that was also aimed at his neck the katana was stopped an inch deep into the cut.
"Nice one pest, never expected you to make me bleed. You spilled my precious blood...Hahahahaha"Muzan was truly amused.
John quickly retreated backwards, jumping about 5 meters away from the demon who was still laughing wildly.John was breathing heavily although what just took place didn't last up to 3 seconds, but it heavily exherted his stamina, let's not forget he has never wielded a weapon before in his previous life, his heart pounded rapidly in excitement.
Muzan suddenly stopped laughing and then released a murderous aura, like a chain reaction John felt as if someone had just doused him in cold water, he felt his skin get goosebumps, his every cell screaming danger but he took a deep breath.
[Skill has been acquired
*Willpower(lvl 1)(E rank) increases your willpower against stronger foes and boosts your defence by 100% and increases STR by 20 points]
John didn't pay attention to the notification as he focused his entire attention on the demon, one single mistake could cost him his life in an instant.
He charged in again this time Muzan finally moved, the instant he moved John's perception lost control as warning signs began to ring in his head.
RIGHT!!!!
John backed up immediately, where he stood there was nothing more than a huge hole 3 meters deep.
"Surprised you actually managed to dodge that attack...well let's see if you dodge the next one"he said as he disappeared again.
John was on guard this time so he dodged the strike to the head by crouching and countered with a Tsuka-ate{hilt strike}. Surprisingly Muzan was stunned, he then quickly followed with a nuki- uchi{draw and cut} towards his abdomen, the slash created a deep cut on his abdomen.
Muzan was passed at this unknown swordsman, the fact that he had managed to draw blood twice infuriated him, he extended his arms and turned them to whips to lash out at the bastard, the number of times he dodged was astonishing but it was nothing he had never seen before, this prowess reminded him of the Hashira, this pest had no sighs of training the breathing techniques.
"I've played enough with you pest. Time for retribution." He smiled devilishly as he increased his speed.
The next second all John felt was a mind numbing pain in his left hand. He backed away for a moment only to notice that his entire forearm was missing laying only a few feet away from him. John gritted his teeth as he struggled to get his mind under control, blood spilled as he took his haori ripped off a piece from it to tie above the elbow to keep blood loss minimal.
[Skill willpower's level has increased]
[Willpower]
(E rank)(LV2)
(Increases willpower against stronger foes and resists intimidation, and boost defence by 120% and STR by 25 points)
John never expected to last this long, in his previous life he had never even held a sword, the only reason this was still dragging out was because of the attribute increase and the fact that Muzan was taking it easy on him, as he had no experience all he could perform were these basic moves in laido{Quick draw} that he had tried out in his previous world out of boredom, the only reason they harmed him was beacuse of the stats he had. The fight has been ongoing for close to 3 minutes, without the aid of his left hand, couldn't perform
Muzan continued with a follow up attack, clawing at John's abdomen.John quickly parried but it seems not only has Muzan's speed increased but also the power behind his attack . That simple attack had shattered his wrist and his ulna{forearm bones}. Unwilling to give up he struggled to hold on to the katana but Muzan didn't relent chasing him As he flew backwards, Muzan flashed behind him, giving him a diagonal kick to the spine, breaking it. He then proceeded to claw at John's abdomen removing his internal organs true to his words.
John roared in pain as Muzan proceeded to devour his flesh.
"Pest, you can beg for your miserable life now "
"What delicious flesh." Muzan screeched as he grabbed his arm and stared devouring it.
John watched with blank eyes, delirious due to the immense pain he was feeling but he struggled to keep his consciousness.

John ignored the notifications as he endured the pain.
Before he lost consciousness he left last words that put fear in Muzan's cold black heart
"Yoriichi's gonna come for you, bastard".
****
John's consciousness descended back into his body as he suffered from nerve wracking pain. But he smiled through it as he checked the system's prompts.
