Dimensional Descent

From the very beginning, Leonel had been forced onto this path and his choice in the matter was quite minimal. Though, he could probably consider himself lucky. Given the track record of the Demoness, the idea of a first experiment subject succeeding was probably next to zero. The fact that he lived and breathed right now was both a miracle, and thanks to a lucky series of events.

It could be said that the healthiness he had displayed soon after his birth was more akin to the last dying sparks of a once vibrant life, almost like the second wind and glow one would radiate just before death.

He was used to his father's grueling methods. If his Crafting regimen was anything to go by, there would be nothing but pain waiting for him ahead.

He still remembered how his father wanted him to reach a perfect Grade One Designation with his fingers before he even began to Crafting. Even now, he felt that that requirement was absolutely ridiculous. But then again, wasn't the requirement to start this path of progression equally as ridiculous? But he had made it already, right...?

He basically had to progress to the Seventh Dimension before he got all his ducks in a row. Only then could he return to the Third Dimension and have this unlocked to him.

His father couldn't want him to do more than that... Right? Wrong. Looking at the requirements, Leonel saw nothing but a long list of question marks. The only thing on the holographic screen that was available for actual reading were three things.
