----------
As some of you may recall, an incident occurred around October 2nd involving some ayakashi and dimensional rifts. This was the unfortunate side-effect of an experiment of mine, and I take full responsibility for what happened. If anyone has any grievances over what happened that day you can take it up with me.
That said, I do have some important information to share regarding what was discovered during that experiment. I'll try to explain the details concisely.
[translation: this is still going to be extremely tl;dr]
Preface/Summary Of Events
Over the past few months I've been working on a method to cross between distant dimensions. By "distant dimensions", I'm referring to worlds such as the ones each of us come from, rather than "closer" dimensions such as the Near and Far Shores of this world. I'm also interested in finding out where gods and shinki go when they disappear from this world, as well as how we can willingly leave this place to return to our own worlds.
I've uploaded my research on these topics previously. The information can be found in the following BBS entries. I don't like to repeat myself so read through it yourself before asking any obvious questions.

My goal since then has been to replicate the portal observed in the July experiment. I primary issue I ran into was a lack of energy. Dimensional travel requires a great deal of energy to perform, and due to the nature of the portal I was trying to open I'd also have to access and analyze hundreds of dimensional coordinates before locking in on the one I wanted. I don't have that kind of power, so I needed another source.
To give a bit of additional background, Henir is a god that exists in the world I come from. Scientists don't believe in nonsense like gods and heaven without evidence to back it up, but several years ago I came across some ancient research papers detailing a top-secret experiment to open a gateway to Henir's domain. The scientists of that time period were able to use Henir's energy as a power source, and theorized that a core of limitless energy existed at the center of that dimension. This information was useless to me at the time since most of the key details had been removed, but since I am currently the "Henir" of this world it came to my attention that such a core might also exist in this world as well.
In short, I was able to find it. I began making plans to test the Henirc core's output and devise a method to siphon out the energy I needed for the dimensional experiments. October 1st is when the first real test of the core's energy was to be performed. I enlisted the help of Zelda and Lenneth to assist with the experiment, as their unique abilities would provide some form of "safety net" in case the core's energy proved dangerous or reacted in an unpredictable manner. Zelda's shinki, Oscar, as well as my own, Rin, were also present.
Unfortunately, I greatly underestimated the strength of the core. We were drawn into it and became trapped inside. As some of you have probably realized, the energy radiated by the Henir core causes numerous psychological effects on those exposed to it. While inside the core I had access to all of the vast energy stored within it, but I was not immune to its influence affecting my judgment. I lost sight of what was important and became obsessed with completing the portal at any cost. The rifts and spread of corruption were likely a result of my reckless use of the core's powers. I'll refrain from going into too much detail about what happened in there, but it was my impulsive actions that put everyone in danger, both inside and outside of the temple.
That is what happened leading up to the experiment. I can at least say the experience was not entirely a waste. Despite how poorly everything else had gone up until that point, the portal experiment was a success.
Results of Dimensional Portal Recreation Experiment
While inside the core, I utilized the highly concentrated energy within to generate a portal using the set of coordinates obtained in the July experiment as a guide. After an indiscernible length of time I was able to successfully open a portal with matching "hub dimension" coordinates detected within. As far as my Dynamo was able to tell, it was a perfect replica of the portal found in the July experiment.
There were two attempts to make a god "leave" through the portal into the dimension on the other side. Unfortunately, both attempts ended in failure.
Subject A: Caster
Caster's body was disintegrated on contact with the portal, similar to the observations made in July where the god's body crumbled into "dust". However, no "soul" appeared like it did in the July experiment. No matter or energy, visible or invisible, was detected moving through the portal successfully by Dynamo.
Caster has revived in this world since then, confirming that he was not able to leave this dimension.
Subject B: Dokugakuji
Dokugakuji's results were identical to Caster's.
I am uncertain if he has been or will be revived, but his temple is still present on the Far Shore and his BBS account is still showing as active.
These results contradict what was observed in the July experiment. As much as I'd like to perform more extensive research on this, due to the nature of the experiment and what it would require to repeat it's not something that's viable at this time. It's impossible to make any certain claims based on such little data, but there are still a few conclusions we can draw from this information.
Conclusions/Theories
Leaving this world, or finding the missing gods and shinki, is not going to be as simple as creating a pathway and walking through it. Doing so at this time is impossible. However, I don't think that means this is a dead end. We simply need to look at the problem from a different angle.
Instead of trying to make a pathway, I think the correct course of action would be to use the pathways this world creates on its own. We know that people leave this world regularly, and some unseen force is capable of sending them through a portal that would otherwise be impassable. If we can find out what that force is and what causes it to act, we may be able to manipulate it for ourselves or learn how to recreate the effects.
In other words, I want to control that force that removes people from this world directly.
This force may also be related to how outsider gods and shinki are brought into this world, so research into both topics is of interest to me right now. I have some ideas on where to start, but I'll save that for another time.
For now, if you have any questions or ideas you'd like to share you can post them here.

It's impossible to make any certain claims based on such little data, but there are still a few conclusions we can draw from this information.
Conclusions/Theories
- Our bodies here are most likely not our original bodies. They appear to be unable to sustain themselves when placed outside of this world's boundaries. In addition to the information listed above, we also know that shinki here are already dead, certain biological functions have been made unnecessary, gods and shinki who are killed can be brought back to life without any signs of injury, etc. The Heavens themselves only speak of drawing in "souls" as well, I don't think they've ever suggested that their methods would involve moving physical bodies across dimensions.
- Due to our apparent inability to physically leave this dimension, some method must be used to draw out and "move" the individual's soul to successfully leave this world by choice.
- No observations of this nature have been made for shinki at this time, but until evidence can be found we can assume that shinki would produce similar results as gods.
- Whatever method is used to force gods (and shinki) to leave this world must have some way of manipulating and moving their souls remotely, as no other presence was observed in the July experiment.
Leaving this world, or finding the missing gods and shinki, is not going to be as simple as creating a pathway and walking through it. Doing so at this time is impossible. However, I don't think that means this is a dead end. We simply need to look at the problem from a different angle.
