Jack Kaiser stood motionless in the dead zone.
The borderlands stretched out around him in all directions. The sky above was beginning to darken as clouds gathered, drawn by the sheer concentration of magical power unleashed across this battlefield.
His right hand extended toward empty space.
The gesture was simple. The hand opened, and reality tore.
A portal erupted into existence. It wasn't large, but perfectly calibrated to the task.
Through the aperture, the familiar landscape of Floor 25 came into view. The ethereal light. The domain where everything lived in peace under Jack's rule.
Chain's materialized from his hand and went searching for a specific individual.
It passed through the dimensional boundary with the certainty of something that understood its purpose.
The moment the chain crossed the threshold, Jack's consciousness registered the connection.
A system notification bloomed across his vision.
