Transcended as Lord Buggy-Part 1

87. Volcano Climber

Buggy returns to the town while thinking of a way to climb the volcano. Even if he has grown very strong, he is still a human. He can feel the heat and that Volcano's heat is too much for him.

Buggy thinks of some methods that might be possible to use. Thick shoes made of stone, carrying a barrel of water to cool the ground, using stone stilts, etc. But none of that sounds good to be used.

"Ah, there should be a heat resistance suit, right? But what's the material for that suit?" ponders Buggy.

He remembers the suit that's used by some people who researching the volcano. He saw it on the internet in his past life, but he doesn't know how they made it or the materials used.

Buggy then decides to ask around. There should be some people here who are bold enough to climb the volcano. They must've thought of some solutions for the heat problem.

Buggy then sees a bar and decides to enter it to ask. He orders a rum and then asks the bartender if there's someone who has tried to climb the volcano before.

"Someone who tries to climb the volcano? Customer, do you want to climb that volcano? You should stop that intention. Many people have died because of that," says the bartender.

"Don't worry, I'm just curious about it. That volcano seems dangerous, but there should be some people who are bold enough to climb it," says Buggy while sipping his rum.

"Well, if you're that curious then I will tell you about it. From many people who climbed that volcano, there's only 1 person who never gives up after many failures," says the bartender.

The bartender then tells Buggy about a man who lives near the forest. That man's name is Ruff and he tried to climb the mountain every month for the last 5 years. He does that after his father died when climbing the mountain.

Ruff wants to fulfill his father's dream to reach the Volcano's peak. He keeps doing that even though his mother has tried to stop him many times. But he never give up to fulfill his father's dream even though people ridiculed him.

"Heh, a persistence man, I like it," says Buggy while grinning.

Buggy then leaves the bar and goes to find Ruff's home. He asks around to find the house's location and finally finds it. Ruff's house is small and made out of wood like any other house.

Buggy knock on the door and an old woman opened it. She is very short and wears simple clothes. Her hair has turned white and she has a kind face.

"Is this Ruff's home?" asks Buggy.

"Yes, it is. I am his mother. Do you have a business with my son?" asks Ruff's mother.

"Yes, I want to join him climbing the volcano," says Buggy while smiling.

Ruff's mother widens her eyes in surprise. She never thought that there will be someone who comes here to join her son climbing the volcano.

"Sigh, another stupid brat. Wait here! I will call my son," says Ruff's mother before entering the house again.

Sometime later, a tall man with blonde hair and an untrimmed beard comes out. He also has lazy eyes and even yawning because he just woke up. He is Ruff, the persistent guy who doesn't look like it.

"Are you the one who wants to climb the mountain?" asks Ruff lazily.

"Yeah, I've tried it just now and only reach 3/4 of it. The ground gets unbearably hot, so I need to get down," says Buggy.

Ruff widens his eyes and suddenly gets interested. "You've climbed 3/4 of it? Most people could only climb half of it on their first try. You must've got a very thick skin."
