He took the next step, and as expected, it wasn't so much that he couldn't run. So, he immediately increased his speed again. But this time, he wasn't able to run very far, only about a thousand meters before the same conditions occurred.
This time, he didn't try to force himself. Instead, a thought came to his mind—wouldn't anyone be able to climb these stairs?
Yes, the pressure from the start was higher, and being forced to stop constantly would definitely make them spend most of their week just on the stairs. And the pain… it was quite a headache. But they could definitely reach the middle of it.
And wasn't there a reward even for reaching the middle of the mountain?
Forget it. There might be something else, but he had definitely crossed without feeling anything. He didn't know if it was intentional or not, nor did he care now.
Time passed, and it took him an entire day to reach the top, even though he had crossed half of it in just a few minutes.
