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...

The optimistic tone in her voice suggested that Vaida had let go of her previous turmoil. Hatasuko met her gaze with a grin, and then together, they walked back to the large sail-rana as the light rain gently fell upon the island. Vaida disliked that he carried most of the weight, so she wordlessly took the rock bags from him and held one in each hand. As she approached the ship, she lifted the rock bags up and down, right and left, over and over. Since her gray shirt was plastered to her skin, Hatasuko could clearly see her impressive muscles as she lifted these weights. When they arrived, they tossed their new belongings in the back and assembled again in the sail-rana. Once inside, Hatasuko shifted his weight back and forth until the wheels began rolling down the gradual slope. It was not long before the ship fell into the warm ocean with a splash, and then they both began rowing. Their arms still ached from the original journey, but the ocean waves helped push them eastward. If they were patient, the ocean would likely carry them to the shore of Bones City, but they gradually rowed so as not to waste more time.
The ocean stayed calm for their journey back to Bones City. The drizzle continued despite the thin clouds in the sky, so every raindrop shimmered from the light of the stars. The ocean dimly glowed in all directions, but the several rock islands were more luminous than anything else. As they rowed between the many volcanos, Hatasuko and Vaida glanced around to investigate the islands. Though no words passed between them, Hatasuko knew that she reimagined childhood dreams of living on these islands. This continued even as they rowed past the first three Isles of Aether, since many rock islands still scattered the ocean. Before long, the sail-rana finally rolled ashore on the coast of Bones City.

"I know this probably isn't your favorite place in the world, but would you mind if we stay the night? I'm just too tired to travel anymore. And I'm tired of sitting in that seat; my back is killing me," Hatasuko groaned as he dragged the boat through the wet sand.
"It's a city of tragic memories... yes. But I can deal with it. We're actually not too far from the inn where Lazaro brought us last time. Do you want to go there?" Vaida asked.
