The 21st-floor area was a hub of activity now, a far cry from the peaceful days Rivyn spent when he first arrived. It was now pulsating, it seemed, with energy as more challengers came to make their way through Floors 21 to 30, bringing life yet chaos with them.
Rivyn's friends, Virela, Nebeus, Barry, Kalen, and Kharon, had reached the 22nd floor, their progress steady but not without challenge. Rivyn wasn't part of their group, but he shared a bond with them forged through mutual respect and occasional collaboration. The only floor he had ever cleared with them was the 21st, a memory that stood out as a rare instance of teamwork in his typically solitary climb.
