The 20th floor of Babel Tower held a unique position within the structure, serving as a critical gateway between the chaotic lower levels and the more refined upper tiers.
Unlike the floors beneath it, often regarded as a proving ground where warriors battled like monkeys and tigers for survival and status, the 20th floor marked the threshold of true recognition. It was a barrier that separated the ordinary from the exceptional, the place where the tower began to take notice of its inhabitants and where the real journey for power began.

For many, this floor was the final stop on their journey, as the trial was notoriously difficult.
