8th Level of the Pyramid
The last few years here have been pretty quiet. Lots of competitors have been advancing levels of the pyramid, while everyone has been working on improving their comprehension abilities, quality of physique, and powers.
They still couldn't access these improvements and weren't sure how much they had advanced compared to their powers before the Millennium Massacre. But they all had a good feeling that they were much more powerful now, with new abilities and old skills that were much more refined.
Minos could feel this while meditating on level 7 of the pyramid. He'd spent most of the last 15 years there, cultivating alongside only the woman of strong mental power. However, four years ago, the first person after he arrived there got into the meditation area of this level of the pyramid.
