Chapter 101

• Three months after the Great Reseal, the Academy held its first graduation ceremony.
• The private dimension had expanded twice since the Celestial Core battle — not through upgrades purchased from the system store, but through the natural growth that the Primordial Seal had initiated in every dimension connected to the Nexus, a gentle re-widening of what was possible now that the Lock no longer needed to hold itself against pressure. The training grounds were three times their original size. The Grand Assembly Hall had developed, on its own, a second floor, with windows that looked out over the lake that had been there since the day Kael and Angelica found the Ring of Infinity in a dungeon and put it on and stepped into a rolling landscape of hills and shimmering water and understood, dimly, that they had found something that would become a home.
• The graduating class was forty-seven recruits.
