The translation is also a mix of sarcasm, commentary, and lampshading, and of course, none of the beliefs presented in this fanfic are in conformity with mine. I didn't really translate it as faithfully so that I can insert my rather sardonic comments between the lines.

Jimmy’s Note: So, this chapter is a bit tamer than the few ones before it, but still. VIOWER EXCRETION STRONLY ADVISD. And the wall of author’s notes is back.
-----------------------------------------------------
The story states that the top of the Council’s lair is a million feet (which is 304.8 kilometers) from the ground.
The troposphere extends from the earth’s crust to about 10km above it. Mount Everest is still within the troposphere, being 8.848km high. A typical airplane cruises at 9km up. Clouds are generally within this layer. Cirrus clouds are found 6km above the Earth, and are indicative of fair weather.
The stratosphere starts from the tropopause [where the troposphere terminates] to about 50km above the crust. Military jets (from the SR-71 onward to modern planes) can hit over 30km up. The ozone layer is also found here, 10 and 17-50km above the Earth. Storm clouds, also known as cumulonimbus clouds or thunderheads, can actually reach this altitude, about 15 meters above the earth [with extreme instances as high as 21m] because of their height, although their bases lie on the troposphere as with most other clouds.
The mesosphere starts from the stratopause to about 90km above the crust. In the US, "space" begins at 80.4km. As of present time, this is the least-understood layer of the Earth’s atmosphere.
The thermosphere extends from about 90 km to between 500 and 1,000 km above the Earth. General international consensus sets a similar limit for the start of space as 100km. "Low Earth Orbit" (LEO), where many satellites live, goes from 160km to 2,000km. If this fanfic is set on a world with a similar atmosphere to that of real-life Earth, the top of the Council’s lair would be in this layer of the atmosphere, being 304.8km from the ground.
Assuming that Ronan, Sakura, and the catgirls started the trek to the top of the lair from a point in the ground that is at sea level, they climbed approximately 34.4 times the height of Mount Everest. They would have also experienced both the hot and cold extremes of temperature and variations in atmospheric pressure over their trek, which unfortunately wasn’t described much in-story. But then again, if you are Ronan Beelzebub, Physics [and, come to think about it, all other branches of science that, together, form the universal tree of reality] would become so willing to take your anatomically-impossible dick in its tight, near-impenetrable Uranus. Unless Ronan used his teleportation powers, which would actually make more sense in a rare moment that only Mr. SoSugoi can conjure in his alter-ego’s sordid imagination… unless the lair has a teleport jammer which has a transmission signal that covers the entire tower.
The exosphere is the very edge of the atmosphere. This layer separates the rest of the atmosphere from outer space. It’s about 10,000 kilometers thick, almost as wide as Earth itself.
