The Skyward Avenue was a straight road a hundred li long and ninety meters wide,
It was named the Skyward Avenue because Os Academy, famous throughout the world, stood at its end.
Os Academy was one of the five super-academies of the Sacred Light Continent. Its status stood above the world, second only to the three great alliances.
The Skyward Avenue was the only road leading to Os Academy's main gate. Whether commoner or beggar, anyone who set foot through the academy's gates and became a student could be said to have soared straight into the heavens. That was why the road leading to Os Academy's main gate had been given the name Skyward Avenue.
There were no buildings along either side of the hundred-li stretch of the Skyward Avenue. Os Academy had decreed that it wanted no one disturbing the peace within a hundred li, and people obeyed of their own accord, not daring to defy the academy's rules.
At the other end of the road stood a famous city called Bright Moon City, a mighty city with a permanent population of over eighty million. Each year, when Os Academy recruited students, the city's population surged more than tenfold. Geniuses from across the Light Realm gathered there, hoping to enter Os Academy and become its students.
Although this was not the time of year when Os Academy accepted students, Bright Moon City was still bustling with activity.
Jade Tower was one of Bright Moon City's ten greatest taverns. A single meal there cost more than the common folk of the Light Realm could earn in a lifetime, yet the place was packed every day, because Bright Moon City had far too many wealthy people.
