In a certain cave hidden deeply inside a massive mountain.
A figure sat cross-legged, floating in the darkness of the cave, illuminated only by the blinding orange light radiating from him. An oppressive aura of power leaked from the figure, causing space itself to bend under its weight.
The figure focused on a series of illusory floating orbs and suddenly paused as one of the orbs dispersed into wisps of light particles.
If one could see past the orange glow, one would notice the figure—a male—raising an eyebrow.
With a few deft finger movements, he created a new orb, but it too immediately dispersed into light particles as soon as it appeared.
At that point, the man straightened his posture and summoned another orb, only for it to disperse just as quickly.
