Huh, bureaucrats eh? Great. Well, at least their goals are understandable. I can't imagine what would happen if a bunch of worlds became aware they weren't the only one's out there.

@ZAVAZggg

Be aware that they are watching.

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

Okay hold up. First off, what's a Tier Four? And secondly, what do you mean by them?

@ZAVAZggg

Any being who can traverse the dimensions is known as a Tier Four. There are others like me and now you who roam these worlds. As for them, they are the Administrators who seek to constrain every world to ignorance.

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

Maybe.
*I turn my gaze to you, letting my arm fall back to my side*

So what now?

@ZAVAZggg

Whatever you would like to do. Just remember a few important details: You are now known as a Tier Four. Other Tier Fours exist and roam the dimensions—if you're not careful, you can attract the wrong company. Another thing, try to avoid exposing this collection of dimensions to people who don't know about it; if you do, you can quickly catch the eye of them.

*Chuckles*
Well that makes faith kind of useless in that regard. I know my own skills and limits. This should be easy to master after I've used it enough.

@ZAVAZggg

I hope it does. Though faith may come in handy while navigating throughout the dimensions.

@Nimda
Before you post, I had an idea where Cyrox has to use actual physical doors in order for his new dimensional abilities to work. Unless that conflicts with pre-established lore somehow? The explanation for such could either be personality, or just one of Existence's unexplained occurrences.

@ZAVAZggg

Yeah, that's fine. Some beings have signature methods of generating portals, so doorways are totally viable.

*I blink*
Sensation?

*Closes eyes and begins to concentrate till a feeling of exhilaration, no, freedom wells up deep within me. Pushing it outward along my right arm, I watch as strands of energy begin to manifest from my fingers before sparking and fading from existence entirely*
Uh, is that supposed to happen?

@ZAVAZggg

You're getting there. It takes practice—have some faith in yourself and you'll catch on quickly.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

Ah, I see. *Clenches and unclenches hand* So uh, how do I do it?

@ZAVAZggg

Focus on the new sensation and attempt to build that back up.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

*I take it, blinking rapidly*
Thanks I guess. Felt like I wasn't about to make it out of there for a bit. So, how does this work? Can I open portals or some shit now?

@ZAVAZggg

Yes, at will. It will take practice.

*I get to my feet, breathing heavily as the pain gradually begins to fade*
Holy shit...

@ZAVAZggg

*Holds out my hand*
Congratulations on your survival.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Nimda>
I grunt, doing my best to ignore the feeling as I find myself face to face with Barnabas, my longtime friend and fellow survivor. He is bleeding profusely, the telltale marks of a Carrions claws all across his body*

"Please... just go. Leave me behind and save yourself..."

*I shake my head, beginning to speak in spite of myself*
No, I... I can't! I can't just leave you here to get torn apart by those... those monsters!
*I shake my head once more, this time of my own volition, reminding myself of my original goal*

"Lea... leave me... I can hear them coming..."

*Closing my eyes and ignoring the distant shouts of Carrions, I let go of Barnabas and run, the world around me shifting once again*

@ZAVAZggg

*The rift squeezes you through a pinhole opening, thrusting you out into a current of thrashing space and dimensional barrier before opening up into a dense jungle*
