As we laid out our plans and assigned tasks, I felt a renewed sense of purpose. The path ahead would be challenging, but together, we're stronger than any other force and will conquer everything. The Lost City of Aztara awaits, and with it, the chance to shape our destiny.
= Vonte: ( looks around the room, filled with my trusted allies and family. )" Together, we will face this challenge. The Lost City of Aztara represents not just an opportunity, but a test of our strength and unity. Let us show the world the power of the Royal Cosmos Sect! "
..
Maliha and Amir, with their expertise as assassins, would take a few selected disciples and head out ahead of the main group. Elder Thadon, would also accompany them with a few selected disciples and tamed magical beast. Their mission would be to gather intelligence and scout the terrain, ensuring that we were well-prepared for the challenges ahead.

= Maliha: ( her eyes sparkling with determination, looked at Amir and Elder Thadon. ) " We have a lot of work to do. Let's make sure we bring back the information that will give us the edge we need."
= Amir: ( nodding , a fierce glint in his eye.) "We'll get it done. You can count on us."
= Elder Thadon: " With our combined skills and strength, we will ensure that we will gather the information needed to succeed! "
...
= Vonte: " This quest will prove as our first major test to prove our strength, resolve and unity as a new sect in this world! But, together, we will face whatever dangers lay ahead and carve each of our names in the hearts of those oppose us and show the might of The Royal Cosmos Sect! Amir + Thadon, you guys can go and get ready to head out whenever you're ready, the rest meet me at the back mountains for a little spare, but first I need to talk to Maliha. "
.. ( waits for a bit)
After a moment, the grand meeting hall cleared out—Amir and Elder Thadon leaving through a space rift to begin preparing their scouting unit, while Lily and Anastasia walked side-by-side to lead their own training session with the female valkyrie legion. It was now just the two of us. Silence lingered as I turned to Maliha, her presence calm but sharp. Her long dark curly hair flowed gently behind her shoulders, those alluring crimson eyes focused entirely on me, unwavering. Without saying a word—I took a step forward, pulled her close, and gave her a long, passionate kiss.
= Maliha: * softly blushes and smiles *
"...What is it, Von?"
= Vonté: "You've done amazing so far my love. I wanted to reward you personally, not just as your sect master... but as your man."
( With a flick of my wrist, I pulled up my system and summoned three items before her using 3 normal gacha tickets )
DING *
= GS: ( Selected: 1x Normal Gacha Ticket, 1x Medium-Tier Beast Contract Crystal, 1x Essence-Boosting Pill )
( 7 normal gacha tickets, 1 golden ticket and 2 premium gacha tickets remaining )
-
I placed the items from the system gently into her palm. The Gacha Ticket glimmered with a pulsating rainbow light, the Beast Contract Crystal hummed with residual divine energy, and the Essence Pill gave off a soothing golden glow.
= Vonté: "The ticket is yours—just apply a little of your energy/aura into it and you'll gain something amazing . The crystal is to help you inside my Inner World and the essence pill, it'll help you for your next breakthrough ... You've earned it, Maliha."
