 "Holy, holy. Dark defend. Shield me, shoulder me, when I'm near my end. When we close our eyes, you come through. Our friend. The Beloved King." - Knight of Kings  "Good day traveller. Are you perhaps looking for something?" As you turned to look to your right, you stared upon a mysterious figure that wasn't in your sight when you crossed the path. Perhaps, they blended too well with the environment. Maybe, it was your lack of sleep that hindered your visibility. Anyhow, you are bewildered by this sudden encounter. "Can these old, tired bones assist you somehow? I have been rusty lately." They spoke with a hoarse, aged rumble of a voice and raised their head to face you. You knew, deep inside. That this person. Was the answer you have been searching for all these years. "If you require me for any future endeavours and compensated ventures then please, do not hesitate to reach out to me." The figure reaches out his fist and slowly opens it to reveal a unique-looking whistle. "Just use this whenever you are in need of my company" As you hesitantly try to grab it, he nodded and slowly started packing up as you were watching still confused with his whole existence and this absurd scenario. "Farewell then, young traveller. All well, be well." Suddenly, shocked and completely frozen with all to feel was the sheer force of the ground being shaken, as if the wrath of the gods was striking the mortal realm. There was not one, he was not alone. You suddenly gaze upon thousands, and thousands were what you were only able to perceive, there may be dozens more. As if the march formation was not limited to just how much is visible to the naked eye amongst the far mists and uneven lands. You were looking at a force. A force enough to render all on its path to nothing. They were feared by allies and foes the same. The person you were talking to belonged to supremacy to be reckoned with. Knights of Kings.  |

Thanks for the great reply.
I will go with LN & then later try anime.
Should I go with anime or LN? (Don't want go with both) I heard the LN was a lot better(in terms of lore & world building...)
Is LN worth it?
Now that you mention it, Redo does have a lot of rewatch value. I would argue though that as an anime not soo much. But for the good s3x scenes yea sure why not.
Hey it's fine! I don't mountain climb all that often either, just go for it when the timing's right and everything should workout fine. 3 weeks? That's bonkers I have not heard of such a thing. Legit crazy level of commitment just to see something
An anime related to mountain climbing would be "Yama no Susume" They climb a lot of different mountains in Japan. Not sure if you have seen this but season 2 is way better than season 1. Season 1 was just 3 mins per damn ep unfortunately. Season 2 took it up a notch to make it 13 mins per ep which made it much more significant when exploring the mountain climbing side of things.
Nice to hear that! I'm g anytime if my studies don't interrupt. Otherwise game!
Ah, I see, I see- this path yes; it is one that I have also found myself traversing from time-to-time, occasionally my faltering step would lead me into truly darker paths where even the bravest hang their heads in shame and fear, but in search of wisdom, one cannot doubt the decisions they make. It could be said, Megumin-dono, that while some enjoy the hills and dips of well worn paths, others may yet prefer the untouched flatlands as true signs of beauty on the horizon- my path to enlightenment encourages a traveler to be prepared and accepting for whatever comes their way.
Now then, as to your enquiry, it would seem that my grimoire's of older renown may be of interest to you:
I'd suggest looking up the works of, Bitimaru (The Kyouko to Are series especially), BadHands' Souko no Tobari series, Girls Aloud! by Arekusa Mahone (a classic) anything by Yukiu Con, Kedama Tamano's succubi epic, and a personal favorite, Gomennasai's 'that girl is an urban legend'. I'd also throw in the tankoubon 'Mida Love' by Ootsuka Reika as a true tome that embodies my sage philosophy, and the obscure, Kyoutarou Suzuki's 'JC Ex'. If the darkness beckons, then I'd say 'Atatakai Yuki' by Amagappa is a gentle, light starting point, though do remember, 'when one peers into the abyss, the abyss peers back.'
However, Megumin-dono, it may interest you to know that there is even transcendence beyond this! Alas, it is no longer the words and arts of the devilish sirens that stir our blood to its core that make the hairs stand; rather, it is the alluring yet blasphemous songs and utterings of their maiden tongues that has awaken new interests in me. Ah, the wonderful sounds you can hear, truly, a wonderous time in our empire. Oh, my dear Kozue, cough cough forgive my foolish tangent, whimsy strikes me sometimes.
De-wa, I take my leave and if we hold audience again, then so be it and I look forward to your thoughts.
As somebody who literally lives in a mountain, the best advice I can give would be pacing. Don't try to go too fast as you can be gassed out immediately regardless of one's athleticism. Maybe go with a group. It's better if there are others there serving as your benchmark and motivation too.
For things to bring
1. Water and some sports drink
2. Snacks/Food ( Usually I bring one or two protein/breakfast bars)
3. Flashlight ( I always bring this just in case as I have used it at least 3-4 times)
4. Maybe a change of clothes ( I rarely change when I hit the peak but there are circumstances this would be useful in)
I am not the most experienced as I hike often but I rarely scale huge mountains. When it comes to Mt Apo, it would be better to bring more than I suggested above. Though those are the bare minimum I usually bring.
Goodluck and have fun
P.S: I am very proud to be your 69th comment hahaha
Maybe I will binge Mushoku Tensei soon since you have recommended it several times already? Let's see where it goes.
My travels, if by chance or providence, have somehow brought our paths into a cross-road, so I ask- does thou seek the wisdom of a long wearied sage? It would seem that we are creatures of the same cloth; followers of the religion known as hentai, and I feel that my knowledge on such matters is... vast, and learned.
