บท 195: Crossing the Golden Path...

The 'Golden Path of Hope' is a massive road that leads to the palace grounds located high above the half-mountain, right after the city's broken ruins.

Why 'Half' you ask?

This mountain used to be the tallest one in the whole abyss altar area, but the first king sliced it in half and leveled the ground so that he could create his palace in a very high place.

He wanted to glance at his magnificent empire every day from his room's balcony.

The path that leads to the main gate of the palace walls is called the 'Golden Path of Hope' as this path was the sole path that the people of the empire could use to meet their benevolent king.

It was once created using real gold floor tiles, and it shined brightly all day long.

Those who went to the palace for the king's audience returned smiling, their despair and regrets swept away.
