- About the Golden Temple Training Camp 1 -
The Golden Temple Training Camp is a ruin, thought to have been a Daeva training camp in an ancient Atreian city before the Epic Cataclysm, nyerk.
It was known to have disappeared after the Epic Cataclysm, until it was rediscovered by the Red Sand Traders who were traveling in the Abyss, nyerk.
The Red Sand Traders tried to hold negotiations with Daevas over the transfer of the ruin, but Daevas, who did not value the legacy of the past, refused to negotiate, nyerk.
- About the Golden Temple Training Camp 2 -
Deciding on what to do with the ruin troubled many, but Bundarinerk, leader of the Red Sand Traders, finally presented a solution, nyerk.
Following his proposal to restore the ruin and open it to Daevas, the ruin was repaired by the Shugos and became known as the Golden Temple Training Camp, nyerk.
The Golden Temple Training Camp offers a fair opportunity to all Daevas to fight and train with one another, regardless of their race, just like the Daevas of old used to do, nyerk.
Any Daevas who wish to take the challenge of becoming the best are welcome to visit the training camp anytime, nyerk.
- About the Golden Arena -
The Golden Arena, run by the Golden Temple Training Camp, is an arena where 32 participants pit their skills against one another, unrestricted by their race or faction, nyerk.
Each match is a one-on-one duel, and the winner of each duel progresses to the next round until only one champion remains, nyerk.
- Applying to Enter the Golden Arena -
Applications for the arena are received during specific hours, and Daevas can apply through the Match Apply UI on the bottom right of the screen, nyerk.
Applications are received on an individual basis, and Groups or Forces cannot apply, nyerk.
When there are 32 applicants, the applicants can move to the Golden Temple Training Camp Lobby, nyerk.
- Golden Temple Training Camp Lobby -
The Golden Temple Training Camp Lobby is where participants can check their equipment or skills and wait until their one-on-one match starts, nyerk.
Conveniences including the warehouse, Stigma, Divinization, and Magic Charge are available for the participants to prepare for their duels, nyerk.
The time spent waiting in the lobby isn’t long, so it is important to make most of that time, nyerk.
- About the Arena Program and Watching -
Pressing the sword button on the top right of the lobby screen opens the current list of arena participant matches, nyerk.
You can watch the matches in real time. Watch any duels that involve participants of interest, nyerk.
- Entering the Golden Arena -
After a short wait in the Golden Temple Training Camp Lobby, participants can enter the Golden Arena after a notification is displayed, nyerk. When you see the entry notification, follow the instructions to enter without being late, nyerk.
As soon as a participant enters the arena, the duel starts after a brief preparation time, nyerk.
If a participant doesn’t enter the arena by the end of the preparation time, the participant forfeits the match and loses automatically. So do be careful, nyerk.
- Rules on Duels at the Golden Arena -
Fighting a duel in the arena is pretty straightforward, nyerk.
The combatant who defeats their opponent and scores 2 points first within the time limit wins, nyerk.
Defeating the opponent once gives 1 point. Then both combatants in the arena fully recover their HP and MP and are returned to their starting points to resume their battle, nyerk.
However, don't forget that in the finals, you have to reach 3 points first to win.
- Extra Time at the Golden Arena -
If the scores are tied when the time runs out, overtime will apply, nyerk.
During overtime, the combatant who defeats the opponent and scores first wins the duel, nyerk.
If the bout is not decided at the end of overtime, the victor will be determined by decision, nyerk.
- Rules on Draws at the Golden Arena -
If the scores remain tied at the end of overtime, the victor will be decided according to the following rules, nyerk.
1. Who has higher participation in the Golden Arena.
2. Who dealt more damage to the opponent.
3. Who had a higher percentage of HP remaining at the end of the duel.
4. Whose character level was lower.
5. Who had a higher dice roll.
Rules 1-4 will apply first, and if the victor is still not decided, a dice roll will determine the winner of the duel, nyerk.
- Rules on Skills and Items of the Golden Arena -
Certain skills and items cannot be used in the arena, nyerk.
1. Resurrection skills and items are banned.
2. Teleport skills like Return and other related items are banned.
3. Some items with special functions such as Kisks are banned.
Please note that more banned skills and items may be added with the introduction of new rules in the future, nyerk.
- Rules on Rewards at the Golden Arena 1 -
Rewards are issued when the participant is defeated or becomes the champion, nyerk.
Thus, participants receive their rewards when there are no more duels left for them to fight, nyerk.
Participants receive better rewards as they progress to higher rounds, in other words, as they get closer to becoming the champion, nyerk.
- Rules on Rewards at the Golden Arena 2 -
Please note that if a participant leaves the arena before the result is announced, rewards for the duel won’t be given. Don’t leave right away after losing a duel, because you will miss out on the rewards too, nyerk.
Once the result is announced, both participants in the arena are returned to the Golden Temple Training Camp Lobby, nyerk.
Once they returned to the lobby, they can’t return to the arena where they fought the duel, nyerk.
- In Closing... -
I hope everyone reads the rules thoroughly and use the Golden Arena in a clear and transparent way, nyerk.
Lastly, I want to honor the Leader of the Red Sand Traders, who provided immense help with writing this book.

- How much do you know about the Golden Arena? (Revised Edition) Introduction -
To thank the Daevas for their passionate support of the Golden Temple Training Camp, we have decided to add Party Battle to the Golden Arena.
The standard arena rules apply to the Golden Temple Training Camp.
However, some arenas will have special rules which we have collected in this revised edition.
- About the Golden Arena Party Battle -
The Golden Arena Party Battle is a battle in which two teams of 6 players each compete against each other.
The team that wins the battle will proceed to the next round, tournament style.
- Applying to Enter the Golden Arena Party Battle -
Applications for the arena are received during specific hours, and Daevas can apply through the Match Apply UI on the bottom right of the screen, nyerk.
We take both single and group applicants. A team is comprised of the first 6 members that apply.
Individuals or teams with less than 6 members will be grouped with others to create a team of 6.
Once a team of 6 is complete and there are 16 teams, the applicants can move to the Golden Temple Training Camp Lobby, nyerk.
- Entering the Golden Arena Party Battle -
After a short wait in the lobby, participants can enter the Golden Arena Party Battle after a notification is displayed, nyerk. When you see the entry notification, follow the instructions to enter without being late, nyerk.
As soon as a participant enters the arena, the duel starts after a brief preparation time, nyerk.
If no one enters after the preparation time is over, the game is automatically counted as defeat.
- Rules on Party Battles at the Golden Arena -
Fighting a battle in the Golden Arena is pretty straightforward, nyerk.
You either completely eliminate the opposing team within the time limit or you eliminate more of their members than they do of your team.
Players who run out of HP during the battle will have a short resurrection time and then spawn again at the starting point.
However, as the match proceeds, the resurrection time becomes longer. Keep that in mind.
Overtime at the Golden Arena Party Battle
There is no such thing as overtime at the Golden Arena Party Battle, nyerk.
If the time is over, the winner will be determined according to the rules.
However, to have the battle proceed faster, Fever Time starts after a certain time has passed. At that time, the area within the stadium will start to burn, nyerk. Watch out for that.
Rules on Draws at the Golden Arena Party Battle
The rules for draws at the Golden Arena Party Battle are the same as for the Golden Arena.
1. Who has higher participation in the Golden Arena.
2. Who dealt more damage to the opponent.
3. Who had a higher percentage of HP remaining at the end of the duel.
4. Whose character level was lower.
5. Who had a higher dice roll.
Rules 1-4 will apply first, and if the victor is still not decided, a dice roll will determine the winner of the duel, nyerk.
- In Closing the Revised Edition -
We were only able to publish this revised edition and offer the Golden Arena Party Battle due to the support of the Daevas and the grace of the Red Sand Traders leader.
I await the day the Golden Temple Training Camp prospers even more and I'll be able to write the 2nd, 3rd, and 100th revised edition of these rules.
