What in the hell is that thing!?

"Haahh… Haah… Haahh…"

Kael breathed heavily as he placed his hand on the final stone and pulled himself up.

Yes, he had climbed on top of the volcano, and it was…

Hell.

He understood that this wasn't going to be easy the moment he took his first step, but this was nothing short of a nightmare.

The surface was unbearably hot. Each breath he took burned his lungs, and the air was thick with a harsh sulphur-like scent, making it difficult for him to focus.

Sweat dripped from his brow, evaporating almost instantly as it hit the ground. The heat was merciless, sucking out all his strength, making his movements sluggish.

But Kael continued.

Honestly, let alone a mountain, Kael had never even climbed a tree before. The only reason he even dared to do something so foolish was because he knew he couldn't die.
