Dimensional Descent

Earth shook and quaked. At that moment, a second moon appeared in the sky. But, compared to the silvery beauty that was the original, this one was bathed in blackness, making it exceptionally difficult to pick out in the night sky.

The result was an even more violent change to Earth's climate. It was impossible to tell exactly what would happen and just when these changes would come to an end.

That said, these things had little to do with Leonel…

…

Leonel's vision blurred. When it finally cleared once more, he found himself in a familiar white space.

One would think the first thing Leonel would do would be to rush forward and demand the treasures he had earned. But, instead, he collapsed to the ground, taking deep steady breaths.

These past few months had truly been too hard. Even though only a week or so had passed in the real world, to him, it had been over a year. His 19th birthday was also quickly approaching within this true timeline.

He looked up toward the endless vastness of white and smiled. He didn't know why he did, but he just felt like he should.

"How long are you going to lie there?"

Leonel grinned hearing the familiar voice.

"Just a bit longer, Uncle Montez." Leonel mumbled.

Eventually, Leonel sat up.

Seeing the boy finally move, Montez wanted to admonish him about the time limit of this place again, but he seemed stunned to see Leonel's current state.
