In a room bathed in the blue hue of a holographic screen, a man stood at the forefront, his shadow stretching beneath him. Draped in a gray hooded robe, he possessed a slender figure and a height that could not be deemed tall or short. His face lay hidden behind a white demonic mask, a style originating from the eastern continent of Ambarest.
"Today, we embark on a crucial mission," the man addressed the assembly of people clad in robes of various hues, his voice altered by a voice changer.
As soon as his words ceased, the screen filled with various people. Their names, races, and current levels in the universal energy arts were displayed alongside videos showcasing their fighting techniques. These meticulous preparations highlighted the organization and dedication of the roughly fifty people in the room toward their mission.
