This is a multimedia webnovel with giant city-crushing monsters, a valiant man who dares to fight them, a hero who loses himself on a righteous path, and a darkness which conceives a profound love. But I suck at descriptions, so I strongly encourage...
"Vaida, have you ever gone boating out here before? It's so beautiful."

Hatasuko rowed both oars at the same time with his powerful arms, propelling the sail-rana over the top of a small wave. Their boat fell a short distance and slammed down onto the ocean's surface with a small splash, but then they both resumed rowing toward the southwest. The ocean was so warm that steam lifted from its surface and sailed gently in the wind. Sweat and steam had drenched both of their bodies. Vaida's long black hair was plastered to her body as her strong arms rowed through the weak waves.
Vaida said with a mystified voice, "I've traveled to the first three Isles of Aether before, but I guess I forgot how nice it is. I really feel like we're boating past the edge of the world."
A cloud of faint gray steam concealed the stars in the sky, but it absorbed the starlight and broadcasted it across the ocean in the form of a white glow. As Hatasuko and Vaida rowed together through the waves and steam, they saw that the ocean was scattered with countless tiny islands which did not appear on any maps. These small rock islands barely stood above the ocean; every island shimmered from the light of the glowing fog. The rock islands were shaped like cones and domes since they were the peaks of underwater volcanoes. These many volcanos and their thermal vents gave the ocean its high temperature.
"When I was still little, I wanted to spend my life boating around all these little volcanos. I thought they were so cool! I thought that I would be an explorer when I grew up, and my dad was sweet enough to encourage my silly dream," Vaida said over the splash of their oars.
Hatasuko asked, "What's so silly about it? You'd get to boat from one little volcano to another, write it down, and then move onto the next! It sounds so cool. Besides, there's plenty of food in the seas. After we beat the Interfecti, let's retire and live out that dream."
"That does sound wonderful... but there isn't any fruit out here," she said with a pouty voice.
Hatasuko laughed, flexed his powerful arms, and then rowed harder than before so that the boat pulled toward a rocky island to their left. Vaida was not sure why he chose to approach the little isle, so she pulled her oars out of the water to not get in the way. Once Hatasuko brought the boat somewhat close to the rock island, he pulled his oars inside the boat and then picked up an albapomus. With three huge, delicious bites, Hatasuko transformed the white fruit into a juicy seed. He threw the seed so that it landed on the shimmering island, and then he quickly veered the sail-rana back out to sea.
