Chapter 24: Chapter 24: Other Dimensions
They soon got to work. They started designing the conduits. With Leonel’s help, that was easy. While designing the conduits, they discovered that the nervous system was a better base than the blood circulatory system for the Soul and Mana Conduits.
While doing that, the boys also practised fusing their affinities via Divine Synthesis. At first, it was very difficult for them to create a stable fusion. Although the skill helped them, the result was too volatile for their needs. They continued practising, trying out different ratios of affinities to create something stable.
Finally, they succeeded. Next, they had to memorise the conduits. That took some time because they not only needed to remember the pathways but also their circumference and the thickness of the walls of the conduits. It was easier for Zeke due to his memories but Cass had a hard time.
Still, they persevered and finally succeeded. Leonel tested them by asking them to 3d print a life-sized model of both conduits. Once they had done this, they could move on to the next step. Leonel told Katherine and Alexi that he was taking the boys on a hunting trip so that they could let off some steam.
They agreed because they knew that the boys were frustrated that they were unable to cultivate until now. Leonel then took the boys to a mountain range where he had built one of his many labs. It was very well hidden and was warded with runic formations against any intruders.
They decided that they would first create the Soul and Mana Conduits. They needed to create those in the Spirit Dimension. Cass looked at them and asked, "What is the Spirit Dimension? You guys didn’t tell me the last time."
"The dimension that we’re currently in is Dimension Zero. It is speculated that it is the first dimension and all of the other dimensions stemmed from it. You can consider these dimensions as mirror realities. Although they have their own unique rules, they tend to mirror this dimension.
Spirit Dimension is a dimension with spirit based rules. It is impossible to enter it with one’s physical body and only the soul can enter and interact with it."
"But how will we enter the Spirit Dimension?"
"There are two ways to do so. First, the SPIRIT stat is strong enough. Once it is, you will be able to sense a gate that leads to the Spirit Dimension. Second, skills. If you have a skill related to the Spirit Dimension, you can use that as a guiding light to sense the gate and enter it. We will use this method. Soulbound Dominion will lead us straight to the Spirit Dimension."
Just as they were about to begin, Cass said, "How are you sure that we will end up at the same place in the Spirit Dimension?"
"Right, I forgot about that. We need to forge a pact of alliance through Soulbound Dominion. It will act as a beacon for our souls and we’ll naturally appear next to each other."
The boys then created a pact of alliance with each other and with Leonel, who was also entering to protect them. After making sure that all the formations of the facility were working at full capacity, they activated the skill. The boys felt as if they had entered space, with many glowing stars in front of them.
They were mesmerised by the scene but soon Zeke came to his senses and said, "We need to hurry up and leave the Void. There are many...things here whose mere presence can annihilate us."
"Do all of these stars represent a different dimension?"
"Yes, but a majority of them are dead dimensions. Let us just find the Spirit Dimension and leave."
Zeke had spent much time in the Spirit Dimension and was familiar with its aura. he soon located the gate to the Spirit Dimension and entered it with Cass. The Spirit Dimension was mystical. Although it looked the same as their dimension, something about it felt different. The biggest one being Zeke. His body was glowing.
"Zeke."
"What?"
"You’re glowing."
"No, I’m not."
"Yes, you are."
"I’m not glowing. What you’re seeing is one of the rules of the Spirit Dimension. I look like I’m glowing to you because your WILL stat is lower than mine. Along with the SPIRIT stat, the WILL stat also plays an important role here. If your WILL stat was equal to mine, I would look normal to you. I’ll tell you all about it in detail later. Let us find Grandpa and get this over with first."
They used the pact they had forged with him and sensed that he was close. They decided that it would be better to wait for him to find them instead of them going to him. Leonel arrived about 10 minutes later. He first used his spirit sense, an ability usually unlocked by A Grade Players, to survey the surroundings. Once he made sure that there wasn’t any danger around, he set a concealing and barrier formation. Although he was there to protect the boys, extra caution never hurt anybody.
"Everything is ready. You guys can begin whenever you want."
Zeke said, "Whatever happens, do not interfere. Even if we look like we’re dying, do not try to heal us. It will upset the delicate balance of the different affinities and will kill us."
Leonel looked uncomfortable but still nodded. Zeke looked at Cass and hugged him. Cass hugged him back and said, "See you on the other side lil bro."
"You too you doofus."
They both sat down and started meditating. They needed to be at their peak if they wanted to successfully pull this off. They meditated for an hour or so before they felt that they were ready.
They had to first create the Negative Connectors. They fused the necessary affinities and Faith. Then came the tough part. They pierced their Mana Centres with the fused mana and started creating the Negative Connectors. This was somewhat straightforward because they didn’t have any organs in their souls. But all that didn’t matter because of the soul-piercing pain that they were experiencing. Literally. Their souls were being torn apart due to the conduits.
At this moment, in Dimension Zero, their bodies were bleeding quite severely. The only reason that they were still alive was due to their strong innate healing.

Lazy Lord Veiled in the Shadows (I haven’t posted this yet, but I will soon. Here is the synopsis)
David, an ordinary man leading a monotonous life in a 9-to-5 job, found solace in the escapism of webnovels. His mundane existence took an unexpected turn when, engrossed in a new title, ’Martial War: An Epic Saga,’ he succumbed to a sudden brain aneurysm. To his bewilderment, David awoke in the very world he had been reading about, reincarnated into the unfolding narrative.
The catch? He had only read the prologue, leaving his knowledge of the future blank. His second chance at life took a dark turn when he was sold to a shadowy organization that subjected him to abuse, molding him into a lethal assassin. His salvation came unexpectedly when he was rescued by the novel’s protagonist, earning a place as the protagonist’s right-hand man. As their alliance flourished, David found himself entangled in a tumultuous life, culminating in a heroic but tragic end on the battlefield. His dying wish for peace remained unfulfilled as, contrary to his expectations, death did not bring respite.
Instead, David experienced an unnerving regression, returning to the womb. Determined to embrace a serene existence in his next life, he vowed to rest peacefully. Yet, the relentless hand of fate had other plans for him. Will he find the tranquillity he seeks, or is destiny bound to disrupt his quest for rest once again? The journey unfolds as David navigates the unpredictable twists of his reincarnated existence.
