After Sylvia fell asleep, I left the inn. A lightning bolt outside the window grabbed my attention, stirred by my instincts as a Wealthy Magnate. I had deliberately broken the rules, which caused some supernatural events, but none of them were particularly threatening. They seemed trivial compared to the terrors of a haunted house.0

"Where exactly did that lightning strike...?" I wondered.0

The mountain path from the Fourth Gate to the Elder Gate led to a high-level area near the summit of Berhert, accessible to players only in the mid-to-late stages of the game. 0

Without the Berhert meeting, only elders or devoted disciples could enter, making it a prime spot for rare items. I gazed down at the mountain range from Berhert's dark peak. Various ghosts and spirits clung to me, but their threats became merely intriguing since I showed no fear.1

"Shieeshinasinlai Rodennai."4

"Bururakan Turnima."0

They seemed to be wondering why I wasn't scared, finding me strange. Accompanied by these spirits, I explored the mountain range with my Wealthy Magnate eyes activated. 0

During my wanderings, I encountered a tiger the size of a house, snowflakes that moved on their own—snow spirits—and a lynx with twenty eyes. As much as I wanted to kill them for their materials, I wasn't yet skilled enough to initiate a fight.0

As I continued through the Mountain of Darkness, a glint of gold caught my eye. Amidst the snow-covered coniferous forest, I spotted a scorched patch of earth.2

"Burtan Kailishnima," said the ghosts. "Latarata Krasinuma."0

Ignoring the spirits, I approached the charred area. In the center lay a partially burned piece of wood that emitted a golden aura.0
