(Dream World, Leo's POV)
"Five more minutes to go, boy," the Timeless Assassin said, his gray eyes narrowing as his smile softened with both finality and weight.
"You can ask me one more question, so make it count."
He said, as Leo's throat tightened, but he wasted no time.
"I'm about to ascend to the Transcendent Tier soon. According to you… what should I focus on once I get there?"
Leo asked, as the Timeless Assassin rubbed his chin in thought, his expression far more serious now than at any point during their talk, as though considering not just what to say, but also what not to say.
As after a long silence, he finally nodded.
"At the Transcendent Tier you are no longer a mere mortal, yet you are not truly on your way to becoming a God either.
It is the bridge tier, the foundation upon which Monarchs and Demi-Gods are built, and while you may feel tempted to race ahead, you must remember that a weak foundation dooms the structure above it."
