True to Dash's word, the Between Realms wasn't just another hidden dimension—it was an entire tiered world, divided into regions that reflected layers of status, power, and exclusivity beyond anything I'd seen in Mythica.
The place I had been before, where the Ziggurat Bookstore stood, was in the remote outskirts known as the Foot—a quiet, almost desolate borderland wedged between different realms.
It was the kind of place beings rarely visited unless they had a very specific reason. Knowledge, it seemed, was something you had to journey for, tucked away in isolation as if to say, only those who truly seek wisdom will find it.
