Dimensional Descent

If the Dominion Disciples who had taken an interest in Leonel's stint at the Void Library could hear his words now, they would have been astonished. They were already aware why the Void Library and Void Tower placed so much emphasis on Dream Force, but they had already been in the Void Palace for decades, many over a century…

How long had it taken them to piece information even close to this together, let alone finally be told by others and let into the fold?

And yet, Leonel had been here for barely over a year, most of which was spent locked in a room ruminating over poetry, and yet he had already begun to draw such conclusions? In fact, it was correct to say that Leonel had figured this out almost the exact moment he woke up from his small coma.

"You… Want to use Dream Force to peer into the Dwarven Race's secrets?"

Aina frowned, she wasn't a big fan of this. She already knew by now that Leonel had gotten stuck in a dream before. Though she didn't understand everything, she had her own deductions.

Back then, Leonel had been stuck in a battle with the Spiritual, and he was trying to use the opportunity to strengthen his soul. But, the reality was that Leonel's soul hadn't even gone into the Void Tower, so how could this happen?

Aina believed that Leonel was more aware than most others would be that he was in a virtual world. While others might be consciously aware that they were in the Void Tower with their minds and not their bodies, they still wouldn't feel any different.

Leonel, however, should have been keenly aware of this difference, almost like a lucid dreamer. No, even deeper than a lucid dream, more like that odd state of wakefulness and sleep where you could still slip back into a dream whenever you wanted.

Aina believed that because Leonel was so aware, he had ended up playing with fire. Fiddling around the connection had caused a catalyzation of Dream Force which even Leonel couldn't handle.
