(sorry had to include that reference at some)

Just a few minutes later, A man bathed in gold light appears, floating above the start of the line.

???: "Hello brave champions, you, the first of many to heed my call, I welcome thee, to the world of "Hero's Summit". Many evils threaten this world, so, using ancient magic, the kingdoms have begun summoning you, the immortal players, to join us in saving the world. Now, Please enter through this gateway. He says while waving his arm, a bunch of stones assembling themselves before the first guy in line. "This portal shall bring you into the game, and once again, thank you for being among the first to arrive."

The golden man vanishes as instantly as he appears, as he does so, several doors open, revealing people wearing shirts marking them as employees of the game's company. They bow or wave at the line, slowly entering the glowing portal one by one, as Mai approaches the portal, she sees a blonde woman thanking each player for joining the opening event, and hands each one a small ball.

Mai receives her ball, but before she can examine it, is pushed into the open portal.

Soon Mai finds herself in a room similar to how her private space appeared before she added to it, with a voice saying [Full-Body Scan already Processed, please confirm], and a floating mirrored version of herself, wearing strange-looking underwear appears.
