"During China's modern-era wars, a boy was born in a small northern village. He lost his mother at a young age and studied traditional Chinese martial arts under his father. His father was Mongolian, so he always claimed to be a descendant of Genghis Khan. Along his path of studying martial arts, he encountered many strange people and strange events, eventually mastering a power even stronger than martial arts."
"The era in which he appeared before the world was too distant from the present, so the records are unclear. Only a few ancient texts from certain mysterious Eastern organizations contain brief mentions of him, and they called him 'Mandarin,' a transliteration of Mantou's title."
Stick's voice seemed to come from very far away. His English, colored by an Eastern accent, carried an ancient charm as he continued, "People only know that Mandarin's immense power came from the Ten Rings."
"The so-called Ten Rings are ten rings possessing immense power. They gave Mandarin the ambition to conquer the world. From that era onward, he kept building his strength, recruiting followers, and establishing an organization. That was how the Ten Rings came to be."
"For a long time, the Ten Rings was a famous mysterious organization on that Eastern continent. Evil, brutal, and powerful were words synonymous with them."
"However, that situation did not last long. After the war in that country ended, Mandarin and his Ten Rings, like the vast majority of mysterious organizations on that ancient land, had only two choices: retreat into hiding or be completely wiped out."
"Mandarin wanted neither path. He still wanted to occupy that country, relying on his ten miraculous and powerful rings. There were quite a few people who thought as he did, but unfortunately, they were ultimately forced to choose the second path."
