Dimensional Descent

Leonel sat in silent meditation, slowly pulling himself into that state of sudden enlightenment that he had touched upon just days before.

If for no other reason, this sort of ability was one that others would kill for. Who knew how many sudden enlightenments were ruined in the past by a stray thought or an interruption? And yet, this couldn't faze Leonel at all.

He would call this ability Dream Enlightenment.

It could be used for anything as simple as catching a strand of sleep before wild thoughts put you into an awake state again, all the way up to resurrecting a true state of enlightenment like this one.

The Four Season Realm... The Heavenly Body Realm... The Natural Light Realm... The Cosmos Realm... The Constellation Realm...

He pulled himself back to those thoughts once again.

'Star Force... it was the only Force that always seemed to be attached to something else... it didn't usually come alone... The disorder of the Realms...'

Leonel quickly found that rhythm again.

He thought about how he had always assumed that the progression should be the Natural Light Realm first, then Four Season, then Heavenly Body, then Constellation, before only then Cosmos appearing.

But he had been proved wrong, and Wise Star Order had even laughed in his face when he said so.
