Fwoosh!
A few seconds after leaving the [Intermediate Divine Temple], Leon and Emilia felt space twist around them once more.
The light faded, and solid ground returned beneath their feet.
Ding!
[You have arrived at "Lower Domain #1"]
Leon took a slow look around as the familiar scenery came into view.
"Hm."
Only now, after completing their second assessment, was the number of their [Lower Domain] finally revealed.
"We got number one," Emilia said with a grin, looking pleased. "That's pretty lucky, right?"
Leon did not answer immediately. His eyes narrowed slightly as several thoughts connected in his mind.
'[Novice Village #1] and now [Lower Domain #1],' he thought. 'Just like last time.'
In his previous life, he had also started in these exact locations. Back then, he never questioned it. He had assumed it was random, just another roll of the dice by the system.
But now, after everything he had seen, Leon was no longer convinced randomness played such a big role.
