I detoured from my retreat to capture entries for a photo contest, scaling the highest mountain building. After defying a warning sign by jumping from the peak, I defeated treasure guards with mid-air style. Then I stole a secret skill from a master and rested at a table before trying a badass pose.
I had to get to blissful retreat, but I noticed the running contest where I would have to show some best pics in my entry. So I started looking for some best pics instead and I found this frame.
I was actually on top of a big mountain where I noticed this big building. This massive structure was the reason I went there, standing as a testament to ancient architecture.
I started climbing up as I decided to get on top of the building and I noticed those tiny statues that stopped me there. They looked cool and detailed, so I paused my ascent to admire the craftsmanship before continuing my vertical journey.
After climbing a long height, I stopped there to check the scenes around me. There was a signpost where someone said not to jump from there because there's a lot more reason to die for, which made me chuckle at the dark humor.
Then at last, I climbed the top of the building which looked like it was the highest peak in the entire map from there. I could feel the wind blowing.
I noticed there was this ledge point where I could jump, and when my character was on the edge, I captured these photos. The composition showed the vastness of the world below, making for a perfect submission for the running contest.
I ran back to the point where I found the signpost about not to jump from there, and I actually jumped from there. I wanted to see if I could defy the warning and survive the terrifying drop into the valley below.
When my character was in mid-air, keeping his grim reaper below him, I tried these special filters on this frame. I didn't die, btw.
As I tried an action to break my fall, I reached the ground level and I noticed there was an enemy walking around. I took him down with style, transitioning from a massive jump directly into a lethal, fluid combat strike.
Then I noticed some enemies were guarding a treasure box. I took some of them down from mid-air using my momentum, though I struggled to take down the toughest one who parried my initial strikes with a heavy iron shield.
There was this small pond that looked so beautiful in the middle of nowhere. The water was crystal clear, reflecting the surrounding trees and the high building I had just conquered.
I noticed this man who was practicing a special skill that I secretly learned from him later. You could say I stole the skill without him knowing, carefully observing his footwork and hand movements from behind a large mossy rock.
Then I had my eyes on the tall building from there that I was climbing a moment ago. From this lower perspective, the height was even more intimidating, and I felt a sense of accomplishment for having reached its very peak.
The bamboo trees in this game really look cool. They swayed gently in the mountain breeze.
I found this table there where I could sit and rest. I didn't know I could do such actions in this game, but it allowed for a moment of quiet reflection.
Then before quitting the game, I tried this special effect on my spear that gave it a flaming touch. The fire was intense enough that it started to burn the grasses behind me.
That's all for now.
