Arrival

In the days following Elsine's arrival, other players gradually arrived, many of them simply stragglers who had taken too long to recover from their wounds or who had been knocked unconscious somewhere in the sanctuary, so when I realized, the girl was among the top 200 players who had entered the game.

The first ranker to leave was a player called Karslan, a cocky American who had reached round 72 of the coliseum, and in the sanctuary he had acquired no less than 10 different energies.

A player called Zendra of Icelandic origin got 9 energies, although a little cold at first, she mixed and related well with the rest of the players and especially the female players when she relaxed. She was a girl with an intense character, who took a while to slow down after stressful situations.
