The Path of No Return

The Path of No Return was one of the Western Continent’s 5 Forbidden Regions. It was located at the the most southern part of the Whipper Kingdom.

The Jungle was about a day’s worth of travel from Oorim.

It was located in Oorim, a rainforest that rained throughout the year. This path in that forest was one where many travelers went in and never came back. Nobody knew what happened to the people who entered.

There was a legend about the Path of No Return. Supposedly, a dragon lived in the Path of No Return. “That Dragon will grant the wish of the human who find his lair. Whether that wish is to become rich, cure an incurable illness, or even make someone have a happy life. It will grant any wish.” what was legend said. That legend was what drew people in.

## History

Oorim is a dark forest that all have gotten lost in and none have come out alive except for Cale Henituse. There is a village located in front of the path of no return and is made up of many who have lost there loved ones who have entered. People enter the path of no return, due to an old myth saying that a dragon in the Path of No Return will grant any wish, thus many enter. This myth is proven a lie by Cale Henituse.

Many get lost in this forest due to the mystifying fog.

### Birth of a Hero

A fire started in this forest. That was why, by the end of volume 4, the 5 Forbidden Regions of the Western Continent ended up becoming the 4 Forbidden Regions.

## Oorim

The Path of No Return was located in Oorim, a rainforest that rained throughout the year.

The inside of the Oorim is filled with fog. There is something in the fog that makes both people and mana chaotic. That is why it is difficult to use magic in there. It is a power that is much stronger than Mana Disturbance Tools.

## Hoik Village

There is a small village called Hoik Village by the Path of No Return. It is a small village, as well as the only entrance into the Path of No Return.

It was a very small village located at the most southern part of the Whipper Kingdom. That village rested at the entrance of this rainforest with no exit.

Hoik Village is a village that was created by the families of the travelers who went in and never came back. Their desperate pleas for their loved ones to return as well as the hope that they would someday return had led to them remaining here and building this village. Those people who entered the Path of No Return had entered for many different reasons. However, with them never coming back, their family ended up moving as close to them as possible. The gravestones were placed for their loved ones who they decided would never come back. Hoik Village was more of a village of sorrow rather than a village of hope.

Other than the gravestones all around Hoik Village, there was not much of anything else. It was a very quiet village.

Hoik Village, the village that was next to Oorim, the forest where it rained more often than not, also rained quite frequently.

Hoik Village had a lot of inns compared to its size. However, all of these inns were very shabby since the people coming here to look for their loved ones didn’t have much money.
