Entering the Mountain 1

It took Loki no time to arrive at the mountain. He tried to look at the peak but only succeeded in hurting his neck.

He quickly jumped onto the places on the mountain that were sloped and climbed on top. When he reached a point in where the mountain had no slopes and was just flat, he relied on penetrating his finger into the mountain and pulling himself up that way. Sometimes he hit too hard and the rocks cracked. And sometimes he didn't hit hard enough and would almost fall, only to hang on just by his nails.

Loki found it strange that no monster had come out to prey on him, but he didn't mind it either and just continued to climb the mountain with his guard on to the maximum.

In reality, Loki was at least four times weaker than the strongest person on his sky island. However, this was before he had been buffed from the Farmer God activating his power and making him ten times stronger, now he was at least six times stronger than the former strongest person in his sky island.

The farthest anyone had ever gone in the hunting grounds was around the eleventh tier, but in reality the group that had reached that far only stayed for a while before having to retreat.

If anyone had heard that Loki reached the mountain, without knowing his name being involved, they would have just laughed it off. But if anyone had seen Loki reach the mountain, they would have thought that a character from their childhood tales came to life. And if Loki's name was involved they would've ran to build a temple to worship him in, at the place they saw him.

Loki was 1/4 the way in his way to the top of the mountain. It had been a while since all ten of the suns had gone down, but there had been two suns revolving the mountain -separate from the ten- to light up the area surrounding the mountain.

Loki continued climbing the mountain in silence until the penguin had woken up. Seeing that it was in an area unknown to him, it panicked and started spamming Loki with a series of questions.

"Where are we????"

"On the side of a mountain."

"Yes! But where is this mountain??!?"

"Oh the opposite side of the wall."

"What's the wall?"

"Where we lived before."

"Oh... how long do you plan on being here?"

"Until I find out what's on the top."

Loki laughed to himself, imagining a cute penguin that was distressed from waking up and finding himself in the situation that he had put it in.

Thinking of this, Loki took a glance down to see where he was. He immediately regretted this however as his palms started sweating from finding out how high he was. He could feel strangely that the penguin felt the same way as him.

"Penguin, can you help me in anyway to reach the top faster?"

"..."

"Penguin?????"

The penguin had fainted of fright and Loki was left alone dangling on the side of a mountain. A chilling wind would occasionally blow his way, but all it did was make him shiver a little bit and it was just that.

As he climbed higher and higher, the winds became stronger and stronger. He started to feel tired and his body became sore from all the climbing he had done.
