Long ago, in an era of constant conflict over gold, a "Mad Gold King" appeared, using dark magic and his sword to invade the entire world and claim all the gold for himself. To restore peace to the world, the gods selected a hero from each of the six cities and forced them to fight one another, intending to bestow upon the winner the power to defeat the Gold King. The hero who survives this fierce battle must storm the golden castle where the King dwells in order to conquer the King and his four evil heavenly kings.
