The idea was interesting. But would it work?
Ryan then waited for the instant when all the travelers that were going to enter the portal began to organize themselves. A group of at least 30 travelers was waiting at the portal, so the general focus of both the reporters and the guild officials was completely focused on that team.
The prodigy Damian was taking orders, but to the most attentive eye, it was easy to see that he was just repeating phrases that he heard over a small phone plugged into his ear. Any slightly more complex instruction seed to be nothing more than a half-baked explanation.
All the more experienced travelers in that group were disheartened by the team leader, but they had no other option. After all, it was necessary to spread the word and create news for the guild, promoting the new talent.
Any speech from Damian that was not simply repeating what he was hearing was surely a show of ignorance. He was a foolish young man, and visibly stupid, yet he was good at killing creatures in a dungeon.
Now that the complete focus of that dozen or so people was on the group of travelers, Ryan moved to one of the streets next to the gas station. Walking through the attentive crowd, he ducked into a less crowded place and activated his 'Demon Form ONE' and his 'Demon Wings'.
Within seconds, Ryan launched himself into the air, flying as high as he could. Nyx activated the compass again so that Ryan could know where the exact location of the portal was. So of the pedestrians saw so kind of leftover thing rising up at high speed, but they were not bothered by it.
Then, already standing in mid-air. From the distance, he looked like nothing more than a small dark dot in the sky. Until then, he fell with all his might into the green portal. Increasing his speed with the Demon Wings, as well as with the help of gravity, didn't take Ryan even a second to enter the portal.
*WUUUUUSHHH*
"What was that?" Damian shouted, confused.
A disturbance broke out among the guild mbers, all those n in suits began exchanging confused looks as they tried to understand what had happened. The reporters picked up their caras and started pointing at the portal, anxiety was general.
"I saw sothing entering the portal!" One of the mages in the group shouted.
"Yes! Sothing fell into the portal" A warrior replied.
"But the portal is still glowing as if it is closed" Another mage replied, confused.
Slowly, the color of the portal began to emit a slightly stronger light. Indicating that soone had started the challenge, and now sothing was inside the portal.
All the Travelers, guild mbers, and reporters knew what had happened. There was only one possible explanation, soone had started the challenge before them.
Damian was stressed by that situation, and furious, he headed towards the portal.
"Follow ! Let's get this started!" he shouted.
"WAIT!" One of the high-ranking mbers of the guild shouted, but it was already too late.
That young man had already entered the portal, and with tired looks on their faces, the mbers of the group followed him. At first the tanks, then the fighters, and lastly the shooters and mages.
After all the travelers entered the portal, part of the adventurer's guild followed inside, and then the reporters.

As soon as Ryan entered the portal, he was thrown in front of what appeared to be an abandoned village. It was hilly terrain, filled with evergreen trees and grass and soil that looked like what you would expect from a high place. That region seed to be a place with frequent snow seasons, both from the state of the ground and the type of low vegetation.
Ryan just let out a long sigh, as he watched the village from afar. Nyx was beside him, and when he moved forward, the girl lagged behind.
"Aren't you going to keep up with ?" He said as he turned around.
The sight he saw surprised him, Nyx was standing still, looking at the village with tear-filled eyes. Her face seed to be in a sense of guilt as if she knew that place.
