Getting down from the castle was a bit of a hassle. The magic circle, called the Nifelgar, created a strange bubble of para-reality, warping gravity to an extent. Drekar said this was the least it could do, depending on your resources.
So to get down, Faust had to create a tunnel of the sphere of reality from the castle to the ground.
"Magic circles are the domain of the system," Drekar explained. "Installing this here required us to find some materials and complete tasks for the system. After that, we were given access to an Interface. It took us weeks to remember how to code a Nifelgar."
"That sounds like it sucked," Zen muttered. "All that extra work while stuck in that sulfur-choked, cold wasteland."
Drekar smiled bitterly. "It was a good life."
Faust turned back with twitching eyes. "No, the fuck it wasn't. All this cope instead of just saying what you feel."
