"April 22. We prepared to enter that place and explore the Abyss."
"April 23. We followed the pitch-black sea, passed through liquid-like fog, and reached that mountain that resembled a monster. Behind it stretched boundless black fog, seemingly covering an entire continent."
"However, looking toward the foot of the mountain gave the impression that there was no end, no limit. I joked at the time that if I jumped off the cliff here to kill myself, I might never reach the ground, but keep falling forever."

Before reading this week's three pages of Roselle's Diary, Klein had been brimming with confidence. Having seen a Uniqueness, a Grade 0 Sealed Artifact, and even true gods, he had believed no content could frighten him anymore. Reality proved him wrong.
This diary entry actually continued the earlier "I saw the Abyss"!
Reading this, Klein nearly raised his eyebrows. He could hardly believe that after seeing the Abyss, Roselle had actually dared to organize his knights and sailors to explore its boundary.
Wasn't he afraid of dying? That place supposedly corrodes everything and corrupts all living beings! Roselle definitely hadn't reached Sequence 4 at this stage.
