Dimensional Descent

The young man's sword slightly twisted in his hand, the flat of its blade catching the blue rays of sun coming from the distance and sparkling with a translucent sheen.

He wasn't sure why it was he had looked in that direction, it was just the feeling of something familiar. As for what it was, he had no idea.

"Curious."

His robes fluttered, his steps seemingly slow but his true pace being at tens of meters a second. He seemed to effortlessly glide forward.

His sword vibrated in his hands continuously, almost eager to the point of flying out of his hand.

"Haha!" He could no longer hold back his grin. "It's been a long while since I, the Sword Deity, has met something that made my blade thirst."

Sword Deity was, of course, not his name… In fact, it wasn't even close… The truth was that even others hadn't given him this name like one might expect—he had named himself. If one went even deeper to the true root of the matter, no one even knew of him.

After the humor of it all faded away, those who understood how the strongest powers of the Dimensional Verse worked would sink into their own solemn expressions, looking toward this young man with arrogance that could poke a hole in the skies with the utmost seriousness.

To put matters into proper perspective, even if one was born into a higher Dimensional world, everyone would start at the Third Dimension. However, if one thought that made everyone equal… you would be sorely mistaken.

It seemed that Leonel was capable of punching above his weight because his individual abilities added up toward such a result, but it was far deeper than this. To put things in the simplest way possible, Leonel was a cup that could be filled to the Seventh Dimension but with only enough water in it to match up to the Third.

There was a difference between a cup filled to its brim and one with so much room to maneuver. If Leonel was fierce enough with his cup, he could cause the water that made up his strength to slosh about and reach toward a height it shouldn't be able to reach…

However, if someone with a smaller cup tried to do the same, their water would just spill over and be wasted.

Why was all of this important now? It was important because depending on the strength of a family, it required a youth to reach a certain level of strength before they could leave and begin to experience the world.

The stronger the family or organization, the stronger a youth of talent would have to be to meet their requirements…
