Six days remained until the grand expedition, and anticipation was running high among Emery and his companions. They had been called to attend a special class in preparation for the Celestial Ruins, and as they gathered with the other 80 participants, the room buzzed with excitement.
The class was led by a seasoned full moon magus, someone who had ventured deep into the ruins and returned to share their knowledge. The instructor's experience lent an air of authority to the proceedings, and everyone listened intently.
The instructor began by elaborating on the specifics of the expedition. The ruins consisted of nine vaults, each accessible through separate entrances, and spanned seven layers of increasing difficulty. Between layers, participants were granted access to different vaults. However, the deeper they ventured into the ruins, the more treacherous the challenges became. With only seven days allotted for the entire expedition, participants had just one day per layer.
