Dimensional Descent

Up ahead, what must have been at least a dozen kilometers, Leonel caught sight of the faint luminescence of another road. It was a bit of a jump for him to assume that there must be others due to this alone, but the angle of approach the light road was taking was far too damning.

From what Leonel could tell, both his road and the other were converging toward one another. But, what was particularly interesting about this was that they were converging toward the star.

If this was simply another road for Leonel to take, why would it have the same destination as the road he was already on? There were only two possible explanations for this.

The first was that there were multiple potential starting points of this trial and he just so happened to be given a Memory Ore tied to this road as opposed to that one. In that case, it wasn't necessarily true that there was someone else over there.

The second option, though, was that he was never alone to begin with and the roads were just so far apart that even with his senses, he couldn't spot them until now.

It didn't take long for Leonel to realize that the second was the answer.

By the time he crossed the dozen of kilometers that separated him from the distant road and he could finally see where and how the two roads of light connected, his gaze couldn't help but narrow.

In the distance, a young lady sat cross legged with her back facing him. However, something told Leonel that she had already sensed his presence long ago. Not just that, but the strength she radiated made Leonel's skin tingle. It didn't take Leonel long at all to realize that she was the most powerful individual he had ever met…

Whether or not this was true, even Leonel had to admit he wasn't certain. It might have been more accurate to say that she was the most powerful individual he had ever met… who also had limits he could actually sense. These two statements were very different from one another.
