The Path of Ruin

The sky was painted gray forever. The light of the sun was restrained. The darkness of the night was deeper than ever. At such a time, he belonged to a class people didn't even recognize as 'human'. He was at the bottom of the social stratum, a slave. And when his only family was taken away from him... he no longer had a purpose in life. Yet, he clung to life because of his promise. And he set an impossible goal for himself, just so he'd have an excuse to live. When he finally reached a place he never expected to be, in pursuit of a purpose he expected to fail and die miserably trying to fulfill... he awoke to a night that would change his entire life.

First Step into the Capital

The capital was... big.

Kael couldn't even compare it to the metropolis before he teleported, let alone the town. The walls on the other side of the huge city were so far away that they looked like... a pale mountain.

It was big... too big. So much so that Arcanoa's palace was nothing compared to it. And at the same time, it was mesmerizing. It was so clearly a magnificent palace, belonging to a great ruler, that Kael... felt small looking at it.
