Time.

It's finally time.

A long journey that lasted for hundreds of years has finally come to an end.

The rock saw its destiny.

A glittering city, nestled in the shadow of the mountains. Hundreds of small buildings line the circular walls, like waiting crowds, waiting for the arrival of the boulders.

They shouldn't be disappointed, right?

If a person is going to a long-awaited party, he should do so with grace. This is one of the most important qualities of a true hero. Don't give up halfway – when a task is about to be completed, it should be done right.

Then no one will argue about the consequences. No one will doubt that, yes, it was indeed a hero who did this.

So, before embarking on its final journey, the rock first looked at its quest counter.

Pursue:

Current height: 1823 meters

It has plenty of space to work. At an altitude of less than two thousand meters, gather a strong team to advance together. Because... This stone will not come alone. It looked at its new skills again.

Gain new skills!

avalanche

Gather other stones and stones around you and take them along the way.

A skill that can bring other stones in, a novel concept. But the rocks loved it. If it's going to be the biggest and greatest of all the rocks, of course it should have the right number of followers to follow!

It has seen how the [adventurer] party works, a group of four people with the aim of uniting as one. But their mistake was poor coordination. Rocks are better at teamwork – just push them all off a cliff and they'll gather more and more support as they move forward.

So, the rock finally stopped braking along its path – began to accelerate – and began to look around.

Now it's in the forest. Trees, grass, bushes, animals—all sorts of new things can be observed, but it must also constantly [turn] here or there, swaying and weaving from tree to tree.

However, this is not a pure green forest. The rock feels its nurturing, and it has a sense of the next stage of budding – what will happen after the core is formed. It's a shift in focus, from the rock itself, to its environment.

So, it reaches out to find the embers of the feeling that is slowly forming, and throws out a kind of existence—to find its relatives. Other rocks.

It found them. The whole forest – under moss, under shrubs, forgotten by time, or new to the ground – was full of rocks. Large, small, medium. Different shapes and sizes, different materials.

The rocks have a vague sense of their location and set off towards the largest set while activating its new skills, slowly starting to form a real [avalanche].

Pursue:

Current height: 1425 meters

First, it passed through a gravel field, and the rubble began to churn around it, creating a storm that grew larger and larger. The rock attracts more followers, move on and look for the next target.

It carefully uses [Steering], [Pivot Point] and [Energy Conversion] skillfully through the woods, with the gravel cloud following closely behind, thinning slightly in the bushes.

Pursue:

Current height: 1215 meters

Next, the stone passes by three huge rocks and collides with them, activating [Diamond Skin]. The first one was hit and cracked into smaller pieces, and the rock turned to the other two, shattering them as well.

Smaller stones, about the size of the head or torso, were left behind, and they all joined the pilgrimage of the rocks. A group of gravel and stone steadily advanced, closing in on the town below. Animals that are already sensitive can feel the growing rumble on the ground, while intelligent animals flee to shore before the tide rises.

Pursue:

Current height: 1128 meters

The forest is cleared a little as the rock enters an exposed bedrock clearing, where miners spend a long time priing the stones to work. It's weekend, the quarry is abandoned, and a pile of freshly crushed stones is waiting to be picked up.

The rocks rolled over, the herd around them grew bigger and bigger, and the siren of [avalanche] sounded. The new rocks moved slowly, almost hesitantly, but then the congregation walked up to them, and the momentum swept them away.

The tribe grows.

Pursue:

Current altitude: 1000 meters

It's another dense forest, with avalanche-like rocks crashing against trees and bushes, stumbling, but still moving forward under the iron will of gravity. Not only the bigger or more famous rocks joined the ranks, but also the lonely travelers, the lost. Strange stones everywhere ended up in a remote place in the woods, surrounded by only greenery.

Gradually, all these sleeping warriors were swept away by the hero's momentum and left their resting place with sharp blades. Like an army of the undead, rising from the grave and challenging the world once again.

Many of them have rolled once and felt the intoxication of that sport. Something so ephemeral and fragile. The dizzying speed and power of the moment all ended in an unfortunate moment on the wrong side of the gravity well.

But the level 9 [Rolling Stones] won't stop. It will lead its people to their final destination.

That glittering city is no longer far away. The city of golden dreams that many stones once dreamed of reaching.

So close, so far.

Pursue:

Current height: 811 meters

The avalanche broke through the forest line and reached the edge of the cliff in front of the city. Like prisoners stepping off a gangplank, they bravely walk over the edge of a cliff and into the unknown depths below.

Because there is danger ahead. Even the rock that led the charge knew.

That's where the heroes come from. Even if the demon's banner will soon be raised over the city, this is still a city under a mountain. A city accustomed to facing dragons.

There are defenses.

Pursue:

Current altitude: 650 meters

The rock touched the first of them - it sensed it from 100 meters away before hitting it.

The rock has a growing sense of how magic and energy work in the world, so it can sketch an outline. There is a small brick wall that is used to protect against the dangers of the mountain.

Seemingly small.

The rock could feel the magic shield it emitted and knew something special was needed here. It may be able to break through on its own – but its followers are different. Other gems do not have the power of [Collision] and [Diamond Skin].

So the stone focused on its sense of mana, looking for a source of energy for the shield. It feels like the heart of a dungeon, and the rock has plenty of time to analyze the consequences of this aura.

It found the source. There is only one brick house behind the barrier, with no windows.

The rock took aim at the target and picked up speed even further.

Flow rate: 35.7 m/s

Pivot Point Activation!

Direction:

Rotation: 20°

Diamond Skin Activation!

Power: 100000w

It crashed into the barrier of magic - feeling the resistance of the air against it. But there is a sum on one side of the rock.

Collision activated!

Deal 13.2 * 16706.7 / 4 = 55132 damage to [Strong Mana Shield].

New speed [unnamed]: 21.3 m/s

The shield broke, unable to resist the kinetic energy of the stone, and the stone pierced directly through and walked towards the hut.

It slammed into the wall, still holding its [diamond skin], and the hut didn't stand a chance. It was blown to pieces, and the rock struck the rich magic crystals inside, absorbing them inside.

They will be processed later, but planting can wait a little longer. The rocks have their own thing to do.

Avalanche followed.

The walls and shacks were washed away by the torrent of rocks, and the broken bricks were scattered into shards, and as the rocks slided, the stones grew in size.

The rocks saw the outskirts of the town. The walls were not wide enough to accommodate all the people who needed shelter inside, so the shacks and loose houses were hastily cobbled together outside, towering high on the cliffs.

The inhabitants of the slum saw the rocks break through the barrier, and a landslide ensued. Massive panic erupted, and people fled in despair to the walls, abandoning their modest houses.

The rock felt victorious.

Pursue:

Current altitude: 405 meters

The stone didn't bother to aim at the panicked people - it focused only on moving forward, towards that eternal goal. It now has a more precise estimate. The city wall is on the other side of it. That's height 0 – it's all about.

The rocks move forward, followed by avalanches.

The rock doesn't need to kill – because its congregation is a bunch of willing predators. After years of rest, the old stone finally moved, and in the face of class and fighting ability, eagerly rushed to the slaughter, creating a bloody worthy of the hero's arrival.

Current altitude: 200 meters

The shacks were destroyed, the people were crushed to pieces, and the bones were split in half – but Rolling Stone magazine only saw ahead. It abandoned its congregation and left them to accomplish their bloody mission

The rock crossed the moat and now saw terrified citizens lined up on the walls. Its sudden assault took only two minutes, but the entire city was already beginning to react, and people poured onto the walls, led by a shriveled old man wearing a churning giant wizard's cloak.

His veins were filled with life, and he stared contemptuously at the rock.

But the rock didn't see him. Only numbers. Almost.

Pursue:

Current height: 78 meters

[Supreme Archmage Ordiva] pointed at the [Rolling Stone] and began to cast a spell, and the stone flew up on its own, using all its energy, and spun and jumped over the wall.

Pivot Point Activation!

Direction:

Rotation: 60°

Pursue:

Current height: 62 meters

The rock can see the other side of the wall, and it's like an invisible hand guiding it – it knows exactly where to land. A small square with a fountain and a jade sculpture of a beautiful woman. But the rock did not see the beauty of the woman, only the light of the emerald.

The fifth-level [cultivator] finally saw the true Jade Beauty, and it longed for landing—for a reward.

(Supreme Mage Ordival) collects the energy and starts casting the spell.

Pursue:

Current height: 35 meters

The end is in sight.

Pursue:

Current height: 25 meters

(Supreme Archmage Ordiva) began to speak.

Pursue:

Current altitude: 20 meters

"[Greater reverse gravity]."

The stone felt a loud tremor pass through it—all the accumulated momentum suddenly threw it up.

Pursue:

Current altitude: 60m

Seeing the ground shrinking beneath its feet, it desperately exerted all its strength to reach the Promised Land. But the spell is stronger, and even (Pivot) doesn't work.

Is this the ultimate revenge of the system?

Pursue:

Current altitude: 200 meters

But it will only accelerate its rise. Every movement made the rock taller and higher, and it felt the energy disappearing.

Pursue:

Current altitude: 600 meters

It's too fast, it's accelerating too fast. Everything is ruined.

Pursue:

Current altitude: 1200 meters

The rock cried out in despair, reaching out the hand it didn't have, toward the ground farther and farther beneath it.

But it's still accelerating.

Pursue:

Current altitude: 2400 meters

It eventually gave up and became dull – just staring blankly at the numbers getting higher and higher.

Oh, how high it is......

Pursue:

Current altitude: 15000m

Now that it was high above the mountain, the rock finally understood that the peak it had stood on was only one of many, a tiny dot on the vast backbone of the continent. It finally realized how small it was and fell.

It waits for something to happen. There's definitely another chance, right?

Pursue:

Current altitude: 200,000 meters

It's too far away now...... But with patience – patience will pay off, right? Surely it will get another chance in the Promised Land?

It can now see the curvature of the surface, and understands that much of what it knows is just an illusion. The spark of a brief adventure begins to illuminate the desperate soul. If it continues to rise, what can it find?

Can it find a way to come stronger, face that terrible person again and laugh?

And then—as if hearing a plea—something answered.
