As Asher and Valeris soared through the glittering void, leaving the jungle world's atmosphere behind, they rose higher—until the stars of this new galaxy stretched endlessly before them.
The galaxy was unlike any they had seen. Not just vast, but layered—suspended within it were countless floating worlds and fragment-realms, tethered by threads of glowing mana that connected them like constellations in a living web. These weren't merely planets orbiting a star, but suspended realms clustered into titanic formations, like continents drifting across the sky.
"It's like... a sky-archipelago," Valeris murmured, staring at the spectacle with wide eyes.
"No," Asher corrected softly, a smile playing on his lips, "it's a Realm Cluster. A massive mana system where multiple worlds orbit one another in equilibrium, tied by ancient laws and dungeon-anchors. I've read about these… but I never thought I'd see one."
