"If we were the first ones to make it out of the Starter Village, have the millions of test zones in the Hunters' Village and the Seven-Tiered Abyss City just been sitting empty?"
While I was desperately thrashing around trying not to drown in philosophical, religious, and existential questioning, Elenora—the unwavering representative of the analytical mindset—dropped her question to Gluttony.
"That whole thing went down like this; when I was restructuring this floor, I thought the number of humans who would clear the Starter Village and push forward would be massive. Once I ran field tests and saw that the creature called human was a fraud, I slightly altered the system.
I placed the ones with potential into the Starter Village, the mediocre ones into the Hunters' Village, and the lost causes straight into here, the Seven-Tiered Abyss City. No plan or project stays as it was written; you know perfectly well the necessity of making adjustments on the fly while the job is running."
