At the moment when Min-jun raised his hand imploringly, urging the audience to calm down, he felt a gaze upon him burning from behind the curtains, like a fire eager to burst out. This gaze was far from ordinary; it pierced Min-jun's heart with fear and incredible force. It was Edward.
The young man didn't just convey a look; he seemed to transmit a piece of his inner thirst for presence on the stage. Stepping back, Min-jun yielded the floor as if offering humble obeisance to an unfathomable power.
His steps were born on the stage with confidence, and each sound they made struck the hearts of those present, causing them to freeze. It was as though, in response to his arrival, the air became filled with invisible tension, as if the moment had transformed into a whirlwind of drama.
Coming to a halt in front of the microphone, he began to speak. "With the blessings of wise time, I greet you. My name is Edward Ember, and I am the son of Richard Ember." His voice echoed like a thunderous roll, his words penetrated souls, saturating them with power and grandeur.
"Ladies and gentlemen," Edward said, emphasizing the importance of his next words, "Everything Mr. Min-jun has said is pure truth. I have indeed visited a world named 'Velesra.'
"This world extends far beyond our understanding. It is not merely a reflection of our world but an intertwining of elements of magic and power, unfathomable to our real world.
"How can you confirm this?" a question came from one of the figures in the shadows, shrouded in darkness.
"It seems like a fairy tale," murmured another voice in the audience.
Without hesitation, Edward extended his hand forward. In an instant, as if in response to doubts, flames appeared above his palm. They began to shine yellow, then turned red, and finally blue. The size of the flames fluctuated, defying all established theories of physics and thermodynamics. The flames seemed to emerge out of nothing, and Edward manipulated them as if they were a manifestation of his will.
The faces of those present changed, emotions overwhelmed them: some felt excitement, while others experienced dread. It was evidence of something incredible, something that defied all their conventional notions of the world.
Edward looked at the audience with a smile that blended profound respect and unparalleled self-assuredness. He continued:
"This is just one of many proofs of the magic and power I encountered in the world of 'Velesra.' Here, reality is unlike anything we know. There's an interaction of forces and elements that defies all the bounds of our understanding. The power of magic and enchantment permeates every atom of this world, and we can only touch its edge with honor."
A case of literary theft: this tale is not rightfully on Amazon; if you see it, report the violation.
The flame in his hand slowly extinguished, leaving behind a sense of wonder and astonishment. Everyone in attendance continued to watch Edward as if he had opened the gates to a world they hadn't even dared to dream of.
"I've come to the conclusion that 'Velesra' is not just a reflection of our world in a fantasy realm. It's an amalgamation, an interweaving of different dimensions, where reality fuses with magic. Perhaps it's the side that has always been there but remained beyond our perception. This world is not merely a fairy tale or myth; it has become a part of me, and I brought it with me to show that the boundaries of our world are not as defined as we think."
Edward looked into the eyes of his listeners, weaving his words with confidence and determination. He had opened the doors to "Velesra" before them, revealing incredible possibilities and mysteries that now lay before all of humanity.
"But what is this 'Velesra' you speak of?" another voice from the audience inquired.
Edward began to explain.
Location: Velesra
"'Velesra' is a mysterious and captivating world. It's a place where reality and fantasy intertwine, creating a unique fusion of the modern world and fantasy elements we've only read about in books.
In 'Velesra,' you can encounter incredible creatures, magical artifacts, and landscapes that go beyond the boundaries of ordinary reality. This world is shrouded in mystique and enigma; every corner is full of secrets, and I, myself, have been a witness to the extraordinary events of this world.
'Velesra' is not only a realm of wonders and enchantment but also of dangers. Here, forces of darkness and light battle for dominance. The profound contradictions that permeate this world create a complex and intriguing dynamic, making 'that' world truly unique.
In this world, like nowhere else, I have assumed the role of a link between 'Velesra' and our real world. My return from this enigmatic continent has changed me and opened up new possibilities for all of humanity.
-But these possibilities could potentially question the existence of our world-"

"All of this is doggone nonsense," a voice from the shadows interjected, and the President of the United States rose to the stage. "Do you think we're going to believe in these tricks? The hall erupted with dissatisfied exclamations, like a storm on the sea.
"To believe in some person, even if he's the only one claiming to have returned from 'that side'? It's absurd!" the President's voice pierced the air like lightning in the sky. "What does 'a struggle for survival' mean for humanity?"
With these words, he rose from his seat, followed by his entire delegation. "We are perfectly capable of solving our problems ourselves, without the intervention of any illusionists." With these words, he left the auditorium, leaving behind only more doubts that hung in the air among all those present.
Silence filled the hall until the next question was asked.
"What do you mean when you talk about the fate of humanity? Can your so-called 'journey' really influence our world and our destiny?" a question arose from the depths of the hall.
With concern and determination in his eyes, Edward placed his fingers on the edge of a massive table, leaning forward. "I'm sorry, but my words carry the truth," his voice resounded. The numbers flashing behind him, he pointed to the display, "Loading 0.03%," signify the transition that carries the destiny of humanity.
The hall erupted into live disputes, like lightning bolts splitting the dark sky. "What do you mean by 'a struggle for survival'?" "How is all of this connected?" Voices of turmoil merged into a symphony of misunderstanding.
Slowly rising from his seat, Edward looked down at the hall. "Our world, once it reaches 100%, will plunge into the dark depths of despair, into a harsh era of struggle and terror," his words sounded like thunder. "The gates before us are just a small part of what we are about to experience. In ten years, we will feel the anger and hatred of an enemy beyond our comprehension, an adversary standing above all the calamities our world has endured over the last decades."
His words hung so heavily in the air that the hearts of those present seemed to freeze.
"And remember, I won't waver. I will make every effort to prepare us for this unimaginable battle," Edward concluded.
