Dimensional Descent

Aina snapped awake after a long and deep sleep.

Honestly, she would have woken up much later, but for some reason, the room she shared with Leonel had gotten so hot that even she was sweating. The moment even she felt uncomfortable, it was bound to be guaranteed that something had gone wrong.

When she woke up, she lifted off the covers to find that it had practically become a sauna beneath the cheats. Leonel lay by her side, pale and covered from head to toe in sweat. From time to time, he would tremble and his heart rate would accelerate, only for it to calm for just a few seconds before it happened again.

By now, if it wasn't for the fact that she and Leonel had become Sixth Dimensional existences and had been cleansed more times than they could count by the Cleansing Waters, the stench in the room would have probably already become unbearable.

She tried to reach forward and wake Leonel, but he caught her wrist somewhat tightly for a moment before letting go. Although he didn't say anything, Aina could tell that he wanted to be left alone. Whatever he was going through, he could clearly come out of it whenever he wanted and simply chose not to. Considering his Dream Force affinity, he was probably one of the very few in existence who could simultaneously be stuck in an illusion, and yet also be hyper aware of what was happening in the real world.

Aina sighed. She had just been asleep for a small while yet he had gone to get himself into trouble again. This man really wouldn't let her know peace.

she found a towel and moistened it with cool water before gently dabbing at his forehead. She didn't know what he was going through right now, but
