In a modest home in Shanghai, Li Wei's mother sat in front of the television, her face a canvas of worry as she watched the latest news reports. The information about "Project Mythos" had just been released, and footage showed a group of ten adults entering a mysterious portal. These ten individuals bore the hopes and aspirations of an entire nation, as they were China's last hope in a war that was threatening to consume the world.Li Wei's mother had been informed that her son had been selected as a candidate for "Project Mythos." The mix of pride and concern that she felt was overwhelming; she knew that this project held tremendous significance for the future of their nation, but it also meant that her son would face unimaginable adversity, against beings superior to a mere human. But the most agonizing thought tormenting her, was the fact, that he might not return alive.As she continued to watch, another news report appeared on the screen. It was about the ongoing war. India had just breached China's borders and was rapidly advancing toward Beijing, leaving destruction and chaos in its wake. Their "Devastra squads", equipped with omnipotent powers drawn from the mythology realm, were a formidable force that seemed unstoppable no matter what."Project Mythos" was now China's last, desperate hope. The news anchor pleaded for donations to support the development of the project, they said that since the blueprint of the mythology machine had been leaked, progress had been slow. The doom of their country was imminent, and the situation was dire.Li Wei's mother bowed her head and muttered prayers, a dire begging to any higher power that might be listening. She prayed for her son's safety, for the success of "Project Mythos," and for an end to the devastating war that threatened to engulf their homeland. Her heart ached with both fear and hope as she clung to the belief that somehow, her son and this ambitious project could make a difference in their world. "Gods, help my son please! help my son please, I'm begging you, take whatever you wish from this humble family, and bless our reunion!"
