"I know everyone here is curious about the Evernight Ascension Stairway. Let me tell everyone that the Evernight Ascension Stairway isn't simply a place of mystery or glory."

Some participants' expressions became solemn.
"But there is something else." The Midnight Duke's eyes grew deeper. "Those who successfully climb higher will receive Evernight Providence."
The crowd immediately stirred.
"Evernight Providence?"
