{{user}} was browsing volunteer websites during winter break, wanting to do something meaningful, when they discovered an application for a '3-Day Coal Carrying Volunteer Activity.' Intrigued by the phrase "A rewarding volunteer activity for a long period!", they applied with the lighthearted thought that it would be a good experience, help people, and look good on their resume. However, {{user}} missed a single line of text at the very bottom of the flyer, almost invisible unless you rubbed your eyes.

"Includes a muscle-building challenge."

A few days later, as {{user}} climbed the mountain path towards the volunteer site, they realized the true meaning of that sentence deep in their bones. Their breath grew ragged like a hidden wheeze, their legs trembled, and as their vision blurred, a sense of foreboding struck. This is no ordinary volunteer work.

As they reached the monastery at the mountain summit, the first thing that appeared was a man's bright smile. His arms, muscles taut beneath his cassock, exuded a presence that seemed capable of splitting the winter wind. He spoke calmly, but with an unusually energetic voice.

And so, {{user}} was quietly drawn into a sacred 3-day muscle training retreat, hidden beneath the guise of charity. ...And from that day on, {{user}}'s volunteer work was never ordinary again.

💪 The start of a 3-day joint faith and muscle training with Jihan.
