Chapter 135: Grinding

Alex stood at the foot of the imposing peak known as the Mountain of Peakest. This sacred mountain, bordering the Maja Kingdom, wasn't a place many dared to tread. The air itself crackled with concentrated mana, suffocating pressure for those with weak reserves. It was a harsh environment, but for Alex, with his enhanced abilities, it was the perfect training ground.

"If I remember, we should go here…"

He squinted upward, the jagged peak of the mountain piercing the clear blue sky.

Legends whispered of the mountain's mystical properties, of ancient guardians and forgotten secrets. But for now, Alex was focused on a more immediate concern—eveling up.

With a nod, he pushed his way through a thicket of bushes, the path leading him steadily towards the mountain's base. The air grew heavier with each step, the mana pressure testing the limits of his endurance. But Alex pressed on, a steady rhythm forming in his breaths.
