Dimensional Descent

[Bonus chappy thanks to Mr. Ham <3 (1/6)]

Leonel was wowed for a moment. It wasn't that the desire emitting from the mine was impossible for him to handle. Just like Anastasia had predicted, it was actually quite a simple matter for him to deal with it.

Instead, this was the first time he had felt the influence of Forces on the mind so clearly.

Back when his Innate Nodes deactivated and his Vital Star Force crossed into the Impetus State, the realization wasn't so clear. That was because the influence his Scarlet Star Force had on him was so well-executed and so subtle that he hadn't even noticed until the contrast of Vital Star Fort enlightened him.

However, this was on another level. It was direct, flagrant, and almost...

Offensive.

Leonel realized that even though this mine was so amazing, even capable of imposing its will onto the world. It was quite rudimentary and almost childlike. If you had the ability to protect your mind like Leonel did, and could see through the attempts, it was more amusing than anything else.

'If I could find a mine like this that focused on Dark Force or Emulation Spatial Force, I have a feeling I'd be able to enter the Impetus State even faster.'

It wasn't just that Leonel could feel the pressure of the mine trying to act on his mind, but he could also clearly feel the character and personality of the Force.

It was greedy, insatiable, it always wanted more and nothing was enough.

This seemed perfect for an Ore title with the word Evolution. It was always seeking to improve and it could take this will and use it to elevate everything around him.
