Dimensional Descent

Leonel woke up with Aina on his chest.

After finishing his training, he didn't hurry to do things with the Tentacle Womb or other faction building things because after a while, he suddenly felt the need to just spend time with Aina.

When his Spear Force perfected its fusion with the final stage of his grandfather's path of the spear, Leonel mind entered an odd state of relaxation where he suddenly understood that understanding himself was even more important than understanding individual Forces.

Anastasia's words, when taken to the logical extreme, precisely meant these things.

Ultimately, just like with his Spear Force, the "life" of his Forces didn't come from them, but rather himself. While they all had their own preferences and leanings, they were ultimately in his control.

Running was always designed to be faster than running. By the same token, throwing was always designed to move things from your hand into a further distance. The same assignments could be made for walking, swimming, talking…

Any one of these activities were things everyone and almost everything did naturally. They all also had the same exact purposes, regardless of who was executing them. However, did any two individuals do them the exact same way?

Leonel had come to understand that he should treat Force in this way as well.

When he used Force, he actively did something that was the equivalent of running, or walking, or swimming, or even talking. However, he had always treated it as an external thing, not putting enough time and attention into them, much the same way that anyone could run, walk, swim or talk, but not everyone could do these things as effectively as another.

the root to reaching prominence in these facets was to first understand

error as a child. When it came to running, you did the same thing. For swimming, it was the same once again,
