The Divine Stairway...
That wasn't just any random landmark.
It was one of the most important things in the entire Divine Realm—basically like the Yggdrasil Tree from my old world below.
If you tried to climb it, there were only two possible outcomes: death... or a massive power-up that could boost your strength beyond belief.
And by "beyond belief," I mean three whole stars of power in one go.
That would be a dream for most gods, especially for me, whose opponent is practically the King of the Divine Realm.
Vanya tilted her head as soon as she saw my face.
"…You don't look surprised at all," she said, squinting a bit, her lips curving into a playful smirk.
"I am surprised," I replied flatly.
"Liar," she puffed her cheeks and flicked my arm lightly.
"You're terrible at pretending, you know that?"
I sighed, smiling faintly.
"I'm just too used to strange things happening."
