A crystal which can change fate is no where in grasp. But by some research both of the discovered, the thing they are looking for is in Northern Empire, at the place called Hill of heaven.
Once that was place for divine and gods, but mortal arrogance made them leave that place and ascend to Heaven itself.
People, they are so simple. The always change in possession of something superior.
Both stood beneath that hill, which onces connected mortal to god is now biggest obstacle in way. Climbing might have been easy, but this hill has a curse. Curse of eternal dizziness. After climbing above 100 meter vertical from ground level from any side. Dizziness power is increased by 2.4x, making it harder to see through anything. After every 10 meter After that multiplier increases by 0.1 points. At the height of 350 meter multiplier is already worse enough to make your brain break, 3.9x is limit of dizziness. Rest 50 meter climb is easy cause after reaching limit all multipler is rest to 0.
Those who have flying skill, it's easier for them cause curse only effects while climbing.
Shall we do it, asked Shindo looking at peak of hill.
Why not, replied Yuki.
They started to climb, and the constantly increasing dizziness blocked there way.
Yuki! My hands are slippin', said Shindo.
Yeah, it's getting worse. But we are only 83 meter above now. We can give in now and start again. Let your grip loose in.
Both loosen then grip and fell.
[ respawing in 15 sec ]
Looking at the peak Yuki said, " it's hard "
"It really seems like that" replied shindo.
What we do now? Asked Yuki.
Chance! Dude, Chance!, He replied.
Yuki smirked, "chance" and started laughing.
We just have to take chance, If we can't in one, we will take second, if not in second, then infinite. After saying that Shindo started laughing too.
Both laughed at peak like maniac.
Let's conquer this, said Yuki. Yuki's hair turned black.
What's this man? Shindo asked.
Just a little secret.
Both climbed, both fell.. they did it again and again.
Literally when does it become infinite?
I think it becomes infinite, when you forget in repeation that how many time you did that.
Respawn...Respawn...Respawn...Respawn....
[Height 324 meter]
I'm feeling dizzy Yuki, shindo said.
We are close just hold on, Yuki replied to him.
My grip is loosing, Shindo said in low voice. His eyes were shutting off. No sign of strength in his body.
His hand slept!.
Yuki grabbed his wrist, "Don't fall now, if we can only make this chance worth. We don't have to take infinite. Hold on little longer for sake of both of us."
Shindo grabbed a rock and pulled himself up. Yuki supported him till 350 meters.
[ height 350 meter ]
"It was hell" panting Yuki.
"Yeah, dude." Shindo layed on ground. "50 more meters"
"50 more meters, after coming this long way" Yuki said.
"No time to waste, let's go" Shindo said.
After pleasant climbing of 50 meters, they reached peak.
They were at top, despite the climb being that rough. It was quiet green here, trees, ponds, even chittring of birds. There was a beautiful fountain in between all of them. Both went close to it.
Really was a rough climb, Yuki said.
Yeah it was, Shindo replied.
Both drank water from fountain.
You seem awfully quiet? You don't like this place? Asked Shindo.
No! Something doesn't feel right here, i can hear someone muttering around here. Said Yuki.
I think you shall switch back your hair color. Said Shindo.
I guess so, Yuki hair turned white.
A Holographic image of girl appeared in front of them. She looked like goddess.
"Welcome adventurer, you made it to hill of heaven, you must claim your reward" said in female voice.
Both looked at each other and smiled.
"But for receiving reward, you must pay a price"
What price? Yuki asked.
"One of you have to sacrifice there 10 stat point"
What!!! Yuki said.
I will do it. Said Shindo.
No you won't, replied Yuki.
"Your sacrifice has been accepted, Shindo Ken. Here is reward for both of you. "
Why did you do that, Yuki said angrily.
Well, atleast we got reset crystal. Shindo said.
It doesn't matter, you lost 10 stat points for me. Yuki replied.
Not for you friend, but for us.
"Well then newbies, I think you have something valuable with you. Care if we take a look?" A voice.
Four guys came out of nowhere, stood near Shindo.
Here, lemme have a look!
I won't, replied Shindo.
"Who said I'm asking", he punched Shidno, he fell on ground. One of the guy stole crystal from him.
"Now you white monkey, gimme yours"
Helll no, Yuki replied.
"You noob" he kicked him started to rain punches.
How pathetic it is, after all that effort, I wasn't able to save my reset crystal. But it's even bad for Shindo, who lost his 10 stat point too and wasn't able to use that crystal.
Cry
Cry
Cry
Crying is all i can do now, only thing i can do. Won't i be able to do anything? Anything at all?
They started to take there leave, after walking few steps they turned around.
"What shall we do with these two?" One of them asked.
"Let's send them back to town."
He started to cast his spell.
Here again, we talked about infinite chances, but we weren't able to save the chance we took.
Hell..hell..hell..hell..hell.. tsk. I won't, I won't die here you cheaters.
Yuki charged towards them...
There skill reached him before, "Nullify". There magic shot Shindo.
[ Shindo respawing in 15 sec ]
Yuki rushed on them, " Concentration on"
[ Vision blur unavailable ]

I won't end for the likes of you, I want to go further then this...
