On the top of a certain hill above the clouds, a hero and a villain are engaged in a big battle.

"Take this—[Divine Dark Sword to Banish the Nasty Hero]!"

"Ha, that doesn't stop me (the shield of light that drives away evil darkness)!"

Indeed, hundreds of years passed when a rock was busy doing nothing - and the time of the great war came again.

Huge spells and abilities flew around, tearing the ground apart and slicing through the clouds below. This is indeed a very grand battle – a battle that will decide the fate of the world.

And then a dragon flew by.

The roaring green and red scaly ship flew past the dueling pair in a dazzling pattern, sending a storm on the top of the mountain.

Both fighters were distracted for a second, but unfortunately, [Hero] happened to be on the side closer to the dragon and was knocked to the ground by the gale. The Demon Lord seized on this advantage and plunged his demonic weapon straight into the human's chest to deliver the final critical blow.

"Ha, now you're finished, my reign will last 666 years, and humanity is destined to be enslaved forever!"

"No-foolish demons. There will always be another noble [hero], ready and willing—"

Well, let's ignore these two for now, they are inconsequential vignettes.

Back to our true heroes. This one has no parentheses, because he's just a [Rolling Stone] - or rather, a flying man.

The stone looked at its task counter and felt a little panicked.

Pursue:

Current height: 10,222 meters

What a disaster! That's even higher than when the journey began! Are all the trials it faces in vain?

For a moment, the soul of the rock felt a hint of despair. But then it calmed down, mainly because it was a rock. Stones really shouldn't be panicked about every little thing. Especially in...

Yes, no matter what happens, it has been a huge success on this journey. Maybe the destination doesn't matter, it's the gains along the way that are really worth cherishing.

The rock felt at peace – freed from its immortal quest and learned valuable life lessons.

Then the dragon began to dive down again, as it had observed the mountain and realized that neither the hero nor the demon could be the culprit of this sneaky theft. It came to the top of the hill just to check it out, as it was a methodical giant lizard - it treated pests like a maid cleans a dusty library.

Start at the top and work your way down.

So the dragon flew down, with wings clinging to its body, turning it into a missile worthy of the name with aerodynamic potential. The rock is still in its hands. Celebrate.

Because the number of quests is dropping again – so fast!

The rock has forgotten all the lessons and tranquility it had learned from glimpsing the summit of Mount Tai and is back to what it was. Numbers matter! The starting task must be completed!

Satisfied, the rock returned to its comfortable tail and decided to wait and see what would happen. Who knows - maybe the dragon will take it all the way to the bottom of the mountain? It will be lucky.

So, let's go back to the dragon, which circles the mountains and circles downward, inspecting every inch in search of pesky adventurers who might steal the treasure.

It circled, circled, swooped up and down, staring into burrows and burrows - only orcs and rabbits were found. But...... It's not in a hurry. It handles the matter with the patience of a dragon that only a dragon born of stone can match.

Finally, after being satisfied with the search in the bare hilltop area, the dragon finally decided to enter the second stage of the search, and it swooped down. Beneath the clouds, a new panorama unfolds in front of the stones.

Trees, meadows, bright rivers, tranquil and picturesque valleys, and fragile fauna that depend on them for survival. This is a completely new sight for the rocks, a field full of life, in stark contrast to the desolate areas above, where the rocks are almost breathless with admiration and wonder.

Attention, not to see the scenery. No, as always, the stone is focused on what really matters, which is the small screen in front of it.

Pursue:

Current height: 4782 meters

We're halfway there! Its mission is almost complete!

What a great joy - perhaps the dragon would graciously carry it for the rest of the way? Like a marathon runner finally reaching the final stretch, the rock feels its anticipation reach unprecedented heights.

What do I get for completing missions? Can this really be done?

Then, what will it do?

The last question is that bothers the stone. Because it has no greater purpose, just for its stone brothers. Guided by fate, follow the whims of the Mistress of Gravity and roll to where it is supposed to go.

Can it really be content with such a life?

Well, yes. Possible. It is a stone, without complicated desires.

Finding a comfortable moss bed to sit on couldn't have been more fitting for it - at least once it was bigger than any of its kind it had seen on this voyage. It still has a long way to go.

So, the plan for the future is clear, the determination is firm, and the rock is ready for the final leg of the journey.

At this point, complications naturally arise. Because the dragon has finally found its prey. In the quarry.

An adventuring team of four members, namely [Knight], [Priest], [Mage], and [Rogues] - male humans, female dwarves, female humans, and female elves. Quite a general arrangement. The dragon scoffed at their combination, muttering something pathetic harem, with only one man to three women, and then lunged at it.

Who else would be to blame? That [thief] even carried a big bag with a money symbol on the side of the bag.

Loaded with the fruits of a day's adventure, the group staggered out of the quarry on the mountainside. Exhausted and exhausted, they were ready to get drunk in the tavern and gather strength for the long journey down the mountain.

It is only natural when the dragon declares itself.

"Poor man!"

It shouted, and a huge shock wave passed through all sides, causing the trees to sway wildly, and birds to fall from the sky, their blood vessels rupturing, and they died instantly. The dragon glared viciously at the stunned adventurers, staring up at it blankly, and slowly curled its tail back.

Its large wings stopped flapping, and the dragon began to fall from the sky, every muscle on its tail ready at the same time.

The dragon picked up speed and fell towards the adventurer like an apocalyptic meteor, then stretched out its large tail and abruptly changed the direction of its flight.

The only male member of the party recognized the world he was from, screaming "damn dive bomber" and then preparing his sword to fend off the bullets that fell on him.

Not a bomb, but a piece of ...... Stone.

Our hero finds himself flying faster than before, right in front of the knight's glowing magic sword.

Flow rate: 51.2 m/s

Now, with the brand new Diamond Skin, the rock may be able to resist the Sword of Damocles ready to strip it of its stone skin, but it has a better plan.

It observes the knight's companions, who line up in a triangular formation around the knight at a great distance. It rolls a three-sided die and lands on the human mage, ready to go.

It approached the knight, approached him, and ......

It turned to the side, dodging the sword completely, crushing the unsuspecting [mage] against the steep mountainside.

The mage's fleshy body turned into a bloody pulp, and the impact was so strong that even the stones were damaged.

The remaining momentum bounced it up the hillside, and it was still six meters away from the two amazed adventurers, who looked at their companions in horror.

Rock bouncing ...... Climb up the hill and slowly – inevitably – with the help of the cunning brakes of [Energy Conversion]...... It slowed down. Stopped.

Then the rollback begins.

Having gained a certain amount of heat in the process of braking, the stone has a small reserve that it can use to propel itself further, and it does so with the joy of longing—the thrill of wanting to reach the kind of speed that the dragon has helped it reach.

Flow rate: 51.2 m/s

Alas, even if it had increased its speed, it could not get there, however, it had once again rushed into the ranks. Cautiously, it took aim again, and the latter was glaring at the murderous boulder with hatred, ready to slice it open with his sword, his two remaining allies standing at either side of him. Once again, he was ready for the challenge.

But this time...... Just before reaching him, the rock underwent another [energy transfer], using the remaining stored energy to transfer all the kinetic energy gained to the left. Right in front of the limp [thief].

However, [the thief] is not stupid, and when the rock moves towards [Knight], she quickly [jumps back] and rushes behind [Knight] to find cover.

But the rocks are also ready. It prepares its [pivot point] - and then connects it to [knight] -

Then began to make a large arc around him.

Pivot Point Activation!

First, it hits the frightened [thief], who is crushed against the surface of the rock, and then moves on, quickly adding [priest] to the pile.

Two more were hit by the rocks and then carried back to the hillside and crushed against the rocks. This time, the rock uses all its strength in its cultivation base, not rushing to face any more self-harm [Diamond Skin].

Two more corpses were shattered and crushed into a blurry humanoid paste that slowly dripped down the hillside.

The rock loses power.

And then...... Again...... It started to fall down again.

But (knights) ...... He just stared blankly ahead, and didn't even raise his sword anymore. The light of his life vanished three times, and the emptiness was simply unbearable for him.

He staggered to his knees, covered his face with trembling arms, and sobbed out of his mouth.

Then a stone rolled over him.

Collision activated!

Deal 10.2 * 4950.1 / 4 = 12622 damage to the knight Mathias

New speed [unnamed]: 0 m/s

And then there was none.

And the dragon, who witnessed all this, because it threw an ordinary stone, blinked numbly - not in disbelief. What has become of the world? Adventurers can't even handle throwing a simple stone - why, in those days, there was a whole proverb about the one who threw the first stone would eventually regret it!

But with a single toss, all enemies are defeated!

The dragon sighed and began to swoop down, ready to search for the magic tools left behind by the adventure, but ...... The bodies it found were all empty. Crushed, yes, but also without all the magic tools.

Are today's adventurers really so weak? This explains something......

For a moment, the dragon felt a hint of suspicion, and looked into the forest, where the stone was happily rolling forward. Where is its treasure?

But that stone ...... It's just a rock. Nothing special. Compared to the countless boulders scattered around the mountains, it is not worth taking. Then the dragon began to fly, and the soul was exhausted, and once again remembered how fragile the world was today compared to the days of the past, and was ready to curl up again and fall into eternal sleep.

A stone is celebrating.

At the foot of the mountain there is a large city with a tall tower in the center. It now knows that the target must be there. Because... The number of people is too small. The end is in sight.
