Existence levels and normal levels weren't entirely separate.
Even though an existence level only officially increased once every 50 levels, it wasn't like those increases came out of nowhere.
Normal levels were part of the same scale—just on a finer spectrum.
If existence levels were the hour hand of a clock, then normal levels were the minute hand.
Each normal level nudged the existence level forward, just in smaller, less noticeable increments.
The change was subtle—so subtle that before level 300, most wouldn't even notice it.
But the closer one got to those milestones—like Level 300—the more obvious the shift became.
And when the hour hand moved, it wasn't just symbolic. The difference was real.
The gap between levels 299 and 300 might seem like one level on paper, but in practice, it was massive.
