[494] The final floor.

I simply stood there for a few seconds. In a daze, and wondered whether my eyes were playing tricks on me.

[Welcome to the one-hundredth floor.]

No matter how many times I gazed at that announcement, no matter how many times I read it, carefully, as to not miss a single word.

It didn't change. It was still there.

"... What?"

Finally, after what seemed like minutes of silence, I muttered, my voice laced with confusion, and suspicion.

"One...hundredth floor?"

It was surreal. Just a moment ago, I believed I would be entering the seventy-first floor. But why is the announcement showing the one hundredth floor?

Am I simply hallucinating? That's probably true. The darkness may have messed with my brain a little bit.

'Yeah...that's right.'

I thought, as I massaged my head and took a breather. In an attempt to relieve myself from fatigue.

However, even after an hour, it was still there.

"Why is it not...starting?"
