Stepping through the portal, eight thousand Rohan reservists found themselves within a vast wooden enclosure. Atop a high platform, a man clad in the empire's fierce white garb watched the stirring crowd with a smile—aside from him, there was no one else present.
"First of all, congratulations to you all for reaching the top plane of existence in the Star Sea during your lifetimes—the Endless Forest."
"I am your guide, Red Fang, commander of the third independent brigade of the fierce snow army," said Red Fang. His speech didn't attract much attention, as many of the reservists had already heard about the Endless Forest through various channels and thus didn't care about this guide.
Redfang didn't mind and continued, "The tasks you are undertaking here are distributed by me, and completing thirty hunting missions represents passing the assessment and being permitted to return to God's Grace."
