Prologue Vol.2

  Extradimensional space is... funky. If oo imagine a portal to another dimension being much like portals are often dispyed, like holes in space with a weird gl to stitute a border of where the hole begins and ends, theradimensional space would be that exact line. Or at least, that's how it would look from the perspective of... materials. For those withiradimensional space, it is more simir tur spa the ventional make-up than any self-respeg stist would care to admit.

  To expin it pletely, dimensional travel would be akin to walking through a museum, and admiring the artwork dispyed there. The walkways are your portals, you don't really i with them, and they are really only built to get you from one painting to another, some paintings vary greatly, or could be much of the same. Some could be magnifit pieces of art drawn long ago, some could be simple glorified blotches of paint. Some of the artwork aren't painting at all, but statues or abstract statements. Like usual, interdimensional travelers don't tend to stay in one pce. They have the option to go elsewhere, and will damn well use it. After all, if you aren't stu the painting, why bother staying in it?

  Extradimensional space is none of that, it is the wall that holds up the painting, the floor below the statue. Always there, and there where the art isn't. It isn't so much like the walkways where they are there to facilitate the dimensions, but more like ag as a foundation that allows the art to be dispyed to begin with. No one looks at the wall, no one admires the wall, and no one lives in the wall.

  Well... that st part isirely true, Esstrey is currently living ihe walls. She hadn't been needing to eat, because things doly ge iradimensional space, so that bite she took from one of the squid faces? She still has bits from the camari looking bastard drifting around iomach. The Goddess spping her into this pce, or rather out of real space? Yeah, she still feels a bit of a mark left behind by that nasty old dy.

  Luckily, extradimensional space sists of a sort of semi-solid material. A solid that has much less density than water, so she is kind of feeling like that old duck from western ic books that swims through his o of s. Or a mole that has found particurly soft dirt. The area does this without actually having any material there, just like space is vacuum in its base stage, extradimensional space is made out of the weird non-material. There is also some life here, usually in the form of fish or odd bugs that seem to ignore each other arey, but frankly a desert would have more life than this pce.

  Esstrey did try eating some of the weird looking fish, but she couldn't pierce their scales. That most likely has to do with the whole 'nothing ges iradimensional space' part, because it certainly didn't feel like the scales were too tough. Eventually, after doing some more tests on the fish, she let it go. It quickly swam off after that, and actually entered one of the dimensions. Which isn't particurly hard to do around here. The reasorey hasered another dimensio? It's more of a matter of why she would rather than wouldn't. Most dimensions aren't looking tht, or are looking a little tht with their supernova's.

  She did see a few that were vaguely familiar, one where she even saw her old mother Russia. She would have gohere... if everyone on that p wasn't clearly eating the faces of others...

  Uling corruptions of realities aside, swimming through extradimensional space is pretty fortable, not to mention therapeutic. It kind of reminds her of the times it was her turn to up the barracks, calm sweeping while no ohers you. Esstrey doesn't even know how long she's been here, time and distance are all very retive when you are quite literally not located on any maps.

  Esstrey's calm swimming is interrupted by some sort of deep visceral rumbling, and as she looks around spots a massive worm cirg her position. This would be the biggest life form she entered by far, it must be the size of a whole building! And any creature capable of growing rge iradimensional space must be an impressive predator. Esstrey fires her massive crossbow at the worm, testing its skin.

  As, the worm is as recipient to ge as the smallest fish here, and the bolt deflects off of it like it's hitting a T-90. It doesn't eveonate, sihe bolts used to rely on her mana to initiate any magical effects, and there is no mana iradimensional space.

  The worm doesn't appreciate the attempt regardless, and unches multiple... things at Esstrey. She deftly dodges most of the bck tentacled projectiles, but ohat would have been a near miss extends its sharp tentacles instead! It grapples Esstrey, and throws her off bance by sheer force of speed. Esstrey tries to throw the thing away, but it has embedded itself into her skin, somehow bypassing her scales totally. There is no evidence of damage being doo her, as if her skin is merely a suggestio es to hampering its reach.

  It quickly crawls over her head, and digs irey's upper spinal n. This isn't a predator! It's a parasite! Esstrey attempts to dig it out of her, but her skin works against her iuation.

  "Я сдеру с себя кожу и вырву твое сердце!" Esstrey talks big, but she's panig. She has no way to deal with a non-material foe, but there is something she do. She has plenty more experien the material phaed parasite, so she will face it oerms instead.

  SpoilerI will rip off my skin and rip out your heart!

  [colpse]Esstrey digs into the weakest looking barrier between her and real spaearby, speed is of the essence.

  Prickly
