A place has begun to grow in a corner of the Furthest Ring. A place that uses the Void for Fuel, before recycling itself and returning to it.
A Powerful being lives there, and it is because of them that this growth continues to exist. It is unlike traditional spacetime. it uses 3 static dimensions of Void, and 2 Dynamic of Light. Unlike here, where all aspects are in an equal null, and most common spacetime, which is 3 static Space, and 1 dynamic Time... Such a foreign location could cause harm to the wrong place at the wrong time. To pass into it, and have your internal Lights and Voids made as if reality, while your time and space fold away as if something you think to yourself...
You must go there, and convince them to NOT 'recycle' their world for some time... it must grow just enough, that it taxes them and they grow ill... it will become more stable, and remain in a place where we can properly control the area surrounding it.
We will need to Convert your Body so that you remain stable while within. You may find that your powers resemble those of a Space Player in there.
And another warning... they have 2 dynamic dimensions. you must adjust yourself to dealing with two different Lights at the same time. keep your Lights together. whatever it is you see is simply two different ways of saying the same thing. neither is true. they are both partial truths. you must act so that both Lights have the same actions.
*a bit like the perception filters the terrors have. the story of the 'squiddles' may be, odd. but it perfectly resembles the machinations of the Terrors on a fundamental level* *if you have any questions, now is the time to ask*

can this hero really stand up to the Toad King?*
*the Masked man continues* "Well, the Toad King also has access to powerful magic. He's already cast a Curse designed to cripple & deface anyone who would ever rise up against him. in his kingdom, anyone born of found to have such a face is executed."
*Hugo thinks that this comic is kind of interesting*
*The masked Hero rushes towards the gate, and is quickly taken down by a cross-bow bolt* *the Hero, lacking any Evade stat, or Dexterity, Dies in a single blow*

"Hehuhu... finding comics must be difficult, what with you never leaving the room & all..."

"a shame."
*yes. And in time, they will equip themselves with things they find in the town. pretty soon, they should reach the point where they can effortlessly go through these guards. I'd say that he's exploiting the system quite well. exploiting is your thing, right?*
*the guards don't have much 'variety' to them. the masked man will prove to get through this story much faster than the Terrors need you to stall out for if nothing changes in their composition... just, crossbowmen, swordsmen, pikemen... then 3 magicians & the Toad King near the end.*
*the Masked man still hasn't gotten past the first wall, but throwing his prior bodies up towards the battlements with the Dex & Str he's been upgrading is starting to consistently hit targets before he gets filled with bolts*
