"Jack, this just arrived for you," Lena called out from the kitchen, holding a sleek black envelope in her hand. Her voice had an edge of curiosity mixed with concern.

Jack walked in, shirtless, a towel draped over his shoulder, fresh from a workout. His eyes landed on the envelope. "What's that?"

Jack frowned as he took the envelope. His name, Jack Hayes, was printed in bold, silver letters on the front. Flipping it over, he saw a faint insignia of a phoenix. His stomach tightened. "I've seen this symbol before," he muttered.

Lena tilted her head. "What is it?"

Jack opened the envelope carefully, pulling out a single card. The words were short, direct, and heavy.

"You are invited to the Spirit Warrior Championship. Fight for honor, glory, and the ultimate prize.
