"So this is it," Claudia said as the two of them took a shortstop. A single step ahead, the boss room of the ninth floor would begin.
For people armed and still well supplied with firearms, grenades, and even manual weapons, this wasn't something to be scared of. Even when exploring the dungeons with their avatars, the tenth floor wasn't any major obstacle to overcome at all.
But this time, the situation was different.
While there was a spike in the strenght of the monsters every five floors, it was only all within a certain league. It was the ten floors threshold that brought real change to the difficulty.
That's why whenever the levels of the avatars were discussed, every ten levels would mean another league. A player who reached level seventy-first would be just a little weaker than someone who reached seventy-fifth. The difference between a player on the seventy-first floor and one even at sixty-ninth was massive.
