Ferrying Souls in Another World

(This is a new author's work. I hope all readers will show it plenty of support.)

Once, there was a legend.

At the center of another world stood a towering mountain that pierced the clouds. Pray devoutly at its foot, and you could receive a gift.

At the edge of the world lay a weather-beaten little boat. Step aboard, and it would ferry you to the true world.

Once, there was a prophecy.

A king with black hair and golden eyes was once slain upon his cold throne.

But one day, the old king will return to his throne, treading upon bones and blood.

The world will be set ablaze by the returning king, reduced to dust and ashes.
