Dimensional Descent

"What's this Valiant Heart Zone?" Leonel asked.

"Oh, I keep forgetting you're a freshman…" Kaela looked Leonel up and down as though observing some kind of extraterrestrial creature. "… The Valiant Heart Zone is the world the Valiant Pillars gate."

"It's a Zone?"

"Well… Yes and no. There are four types of Zones, normal types, Mythological types, Variant Types and Unique Zones. Valiant Heart Zone is a Unique Zone."

"Aren't Unique Zones…"

Leonel was confused. He was certain that Unique Zones were Zones where outside interference caused their difficulty to multiply several times over.

It was only after he heard Kaela's explanation that he understood the definition of Unique Zone was far broader than he thought it was.

The strict definition of a Unique Zone was any Zone that was influenced by outside forces. In this case, it encompassed both the Zone which had to deal with Shield Cross Stars interference and apparently this Valiant Heart Zone.

According to Kaela, organizations of a certain level kept and refined certain Zones for different levels of benefits. Sometimes these Zones could perpetually produce resources for an organization, almost like a respawn rate in a game.

Zones kept for that purpose were an easy income source for worlds and could act as a renewable resource.

However, the Valiant Heart Zone wasn't this kind of resource Zone. Rather, it was a training ground.
