The party from Urth stepped out onto a dry plain covered in dead dry grass and crumbly earth. Grim sunlight burned on their skin, the moment they traversed the portal.
It was just like the Princess had told them. Kevti Kuinen was hated by its own sun. The people of this world had angered their sun god, who proceeded to eradicate almost all life on this world.
Like in Urth, which had been heading to complete destruction, the system God had intervened. Turning the world from an inhabitable desert into a purgatory that still allowed for life, at a terrible price. The people of this world were cursed to live in darkness. If they dared to step into the sun, they would be scorched comparable to the undead.
Additionally, every 12 days there would be a blood sun that would curse any living thing it shined upon. The curse of the sun god would turn any creature into a terrible abomination, intent on seeking out and killing any living being it could find.
While the people were cursed to avoid the sun, it showered everything with overwhelming malice, turning the once fertile world into a wasteland.
Within moments the team members except for Seth, Ellie, and the older gentleman started blushing and sweating. Even the Mist demon had a hard time hiding his discomfort. The Hero handled it the best but didn't look too comfortable.
She herself was not much better off. The heat stagnated under her heavy hood and the light burned on her exposed hands.
"Elza, this one is for you. And here is one for Marcel and one Brock." She heard someone say in the back.
Cade, the Rakshasa, turned around and saw Seth, occupied with distributing something to some of the team members. Upon closer look, they were rings. When did that man start handing out free gifts?
Except for the radar, she saw no need to buy any items from him, but she heard that he was rather rigorous about not giving stuff for free. She still wore the equipment bought in Y-City and did not expect epic items to make a big difference to her.
Seeing the obvious relief on their faces when they wore the rings, made her doubtful. What were those rings to simply alleviate the sun's wrath? She was deliberating when Seth also approached her.
"Here, have one, too. Try to channel your mana into it," he said and handed her a small golden band.
It was a simple ring, with a complex pattern covering the surface. She had free spots since she only owned one ring herself. Curious, she equipped the present.
The constant pressure, burning, and heat from the sun immediately shrunk to a tolerable level. Something like this was possible with good items?
Seth could only shake his head after stepping under the sun. Unlike an ordinary sun, this one really kept bombarding the world with light and fire attribute damage.
"Whatever these people have done, that sun god is completely bonkers." he thought to himself. That guy was frying a whole world, just because he felt offended for something.

~Whatever they did, this god is seriously furious. ~ Puffles commented grave.
As the divine being of Ivice, similarly a god of the Sun and Sky, he might be the one who understood the situation the best.
What exactly happened was not in the information the princess had given them. It also was not really important for their mission. After Leana told him about the permanent dual attribute damage, the blacksmith had prepared these rings.
They were rare rings of fire and Light protection he had made the night before, after Leana's visit. Seth seldomly bothered with defensive enchantments, since their use was too narrow in his opinion. It was just his preference.
He had used a bar of to make several rings and engraved them with Fire and Light Resistance enchantment. The only effects were +25% Fire Affinity, +100% Fire Resistance at the cost of 50 mana per Minute, and +50% Light Resistance at the cost of 150 mana a minute.
The effect of his trait was very visible from the effects, as those were technically the same enchantments. One increased the wearer's light resistance by half, while the other outright doubled it.
Seth himself did not need it, as he was not affected by the sun. His trait played a role, but surprisingly, so did the . With Puffles reaching adulthood, the Ivicer had also gained the knowledge to improve the mark to more than just a stamp of approval.
According to the nightmare centipede, it was able to increase his resistance against the light element to 35%. It would have been more if Ivice had not vanished long ago.
He went ahead and gave everyone a ring. Everyone except the hero, the merchant, and the slavemancer.
"What are those rings?" the hero whispered to the Mist demon. Ben Harker did not dare to directly ask the blacksmith, who had almost kicked his ball last night.
However, the demon only smiled at him in silence. The sly guy would not choose a side in this. Next, the hero approached Yvette, the saintess. She hesitantly answered since he was still, the leader chosen by the princess.
"They seem to be rings that grant fire resistance."
"Seth, I know we had our conflict. But if you have already prepared something, you should give a ring to everyone." the hero tried to argue.
"Sorry, Teacher. I did not bring enough for the whole class." Seth answered with a sweet smile.
"It's not like these items grow on trees. Leader, you can't possibly expect a poor bard to procure the whole party's equipment. " He emphasized that he was the bard for the camera and brandished his lyre.
After all, everything from here on was being recorded. Seth was adamant to play the role of the bard to the end. Though his clothes, except for the demonic skull lyre, would remind more of a mage.
He currently wore the latest items made of . Neeco Boos had finished it just before their departure from Delta.
Under his Golden Fleece, he wore the Sun Shirt and the Cloud Pants. Although his
