Chapter 35: Interrogation
Kael was very interested in the Astral World, not only because it was the means for him to go back to Earth, but also because it was fascinating.
It touched his curious and explorer side.
[About the Beasts, I don't have enough information to even form a hypothesis on their nature. The only thing I can say is they are different from humans, so maybe they work differently too?]
'Possible,' Kael thought. 'The awakening is basically giving humans a medium to communicate with the Astral World, huh.'
[Yes. Intelligent beings with souls can sense the Astral World once their soul becomes strong enough, which can happen due to various reasons like having powerful parents, going through a life-threatening event, or natural talent. But they still need a medium to communicate with the Astral World. That's why a God's blessing is necessary.]
'Yeah, but that also means that we can access the Astral World after reaching a certain rank, right?'
[At the lowest ranks, one can perceive the Astral World, but they might still believe that the Astral World is the same as the Physical World. But that perception changes starting from C-Rank since you can use your Astral Projection to access the Astral World more thoroughly, like you did a few minutes earlier.]
'Oh yeah, that reminded me. How much time has passed?'
[Around seven hours in the physical world and a minute at most in the Astral World, or at least that was the perceived time since it's chaotic there.]
