The notification appeared the moment Zar'veth fell.
[Floor 91 has been cleared.]
[You will be teleported to the next floor when the countdown ends.]
Arlon's body tensed as he read the message.
This wasn't normal.
Before, after clearing a floor, he had been able to rest—even if only briefly. The Tower had never forced him to continue immediately.
Now, he only had a limited time before being teleported away.
Then, another message appeared.
[Time remaining: 5:00]
His breath slowed.
Five minutes… That's all I get?
His first instinct was to scan for anything he had missed.
Was there a way to delay the teleportation? To stop the countdown?
But no—nothing changed. The time kept ticking down.
4:59
He clenched his fists.
So this was how it worked now. No rest. No chance to recover properly.
