『The history of the Banquet dates back to the time when a mysterious passenger ship was found at the Mariposa Sea near the city of Nur. The first eyewitness, José Sánchez (Spain), described the moment as follows:

‘It was early dawn. I was looking out from the Port of Nur at the serene sea when I suddenly felt a huge shadow creep up. The night fog blurred my vision, so I couldn’t make out its size, but I could tell that its size far surpassed a normal passenger ship. It swayed in the sea for about two minutes before vanishing into thin air.’

The mysterious ship attracted an unusual level of attention, and Earthlings flocked to the Port of Nur to solve the mystery. However, the ship didn’t appear again, and the Earthlings disbanded, thinking it was just a simple incident.

Just like that, the incident seemed to have come to a conclusion. But eight days later… an Earthling appeared, claiming to have seen a mysterious ship at the Libera Lake near the city of Eva.

Ze Mei’s (China) account corroborated José Sánchez’s story, but it didn’t attract much attention due to the following two reasons:

1) Nur and Eva were cities on opposite ends of the map, and it was impossible to cross the distance in eight days even by sea.

2) More importantly, Mariposa and Libera weren’t connected bodies of water.

However, six days later, an incident arose that took public opinion by a storm. A third account of the same incident came out of Haramark’s Ramman River….』

The records showed that the appearances of mysterious ghost ships signaled the start of the Banquet. After appearing and vanishing in the waters of the seven kingdoms for two months, ‘entrances’ would appear all over Paradise.

Then where did these entrances lead to? And why were Earthlings so enthusiastic about the Banquet?

Unquenchable curiosity compelled Seol Jihu to turn his gaze to the records.

『…The entrances all share a few characteristics-

1) They come in all colors and forms.

2) Once ten people enter, they lose the ability to admit more people.

3) Once created, they reappear in the same spot every two years.

4) People who enter are moved to an unknown place that is different every time.』

‘An unknown place?’

This particular phrase caught Seol Jihu’s attention,...
