Perfect! Let's continue Chapter 7, incorporating Abzu's new ambition: creating a demi-plane, a small pocket dimension linked to himself and his parents, which he will expand over the years into a country-sized space for training and legacy purposes.

Chapter 7 – Abzu Sozo: The Demi-Plane (Age 15)
By fifteen, Abzu had mastered the Level 20 purple ring, honed the Ring of Resonance, and synchronized his dragons with near-perfect instinct. Yet, even as he trained, a new idea had begun to take shape in his mind.
"If I am to build a bloodline, if I am to create a system no one else can rival… I need more than the world around me."
Abzu lay atop the hill, fingers tracing patterns in the grass as Hydra pulsed softly in his chest. His mind was alive with the possibilities: a dimension of his own creation, a space where he could train, experiment, and eventually raise his future siblings.
He began sketching the concept mentally:
A small demi-plane, initially no larger than the size of his palm.
A space linked to himself and his parents, allowing them to enter and interact.
A realm that could grow gradually, fed with chakra over years until it could house an entire country.
A place where Arc cultivation and dragon training could occur without limit.
Abzu focused, condensing chakra into a tight spiral within his chest, letting it extend outward in invisible threads. Hydra pulsed in response, stabilizing the flow and helping him anchor the space to his own life force.
With precision, Abzu created the first embryonic demi-plane. It hovered above his palm, a faint shimmer of possibility, a seed of space that seemed impossibly small yet full of potential. He extended his consciousness, linking it to himself and his parents:
His parents could step inside and observe or train.
He could store energy, dragons, and experimental techniques within it.
The plane would grow slowly as he fed it chakra, expanding in proportion to the energy invested.
"Hydra," he whispered, eyes fixed on the shimmering seed, "this is the beginning. It's small now, but one day… it will become our country."
Hydra pulsed stronger, the gemstone glowing in agreement. Even the Western and Eastern dragons hovered closer, their energy resonating with the demi-plane's heartbeat.
Over the next weeks, Abzu spent hours daily feeding the demi-plane dense chakra from his purple ring, testing its stability and experimenting with spatial expansion. The space slowly solidified, the shimmering edges growing sharper, the interior beginning to exhibit faint environmental features: grass, rocks, and air that responded to his thoughts.
Though still tiny—no larger than a palm—the demi-plane was functional. Abzu could manipulate terrain, summon his dragons inside, and simulate combat scenarios without limit. He even linked a temporary backup connection to his parents, allowing them to participate safely.
As night fell, Abzu held the small shimmering plane in his palm, eyes reflecting the faint glow. "It will grow… over years… slowly, steadily. Every drop of chakra will expand it. One day, it will become our legacy."
Hydra pulsed in resonance with his heartbeat, and Abzu smiled. His vision had expanded: not just a bloodline, not just dragons, not just chakra mastery—but a world entirely under his guidance.

If you want, I can continue Chapter 8, showing Abzu refining the demi-plane, training inside it, experimenting with dragon combat, and starting long-term chakra feeding to slowly grow the space, all while continuing bottleneck progression.
Do you want me to continue with that next?
