For questions 1-3, that will be answered at some point in the story. As far as the pregnancy question goes, I don't know if that will ever come up. If it does, it'll just be a random expositional tangent. But basically, pregnant women get extremely sick outside of Floor 0 and risk losing the child, a risk which turns into a certainty very quickly. It's essentially impossible to get pregnant anywhere else, too. The reasons why it works this way are part of some overarching plotline stuff that I'm not going to get into here.

2026-02-19 12:11:32 +0000 UTCI don't understand how this floor 24 problem could work. So far all of the floors are connected by portals and the only way to travel between them is either by Portal Hub or defeating the floor guardian. 1. What prevents someone on floor 50 from using the hub to get to floor 0? So far they have gone from their current hub straight to 0 without having to stop at other floors. 2. Is this "Wall" a fortification around the floor 24 hub? Or is there a hole in floor 24 from which the void enters the floor that they have built a wall around? 3. If the entire floor 24 is controlled/overwhelmed by the void, how does anyone new enter the floor? So far the only way to go up to a new floor is defeating the guardian and appearing randomly on the floor above. Tangentially related to the first question: Can women still get pregnant/give birth if they are above floor 0? Cause if they can't, then all of the high levels trapped above Floor 24 will eventually die off without being replenished. If they can, what happens to a child born above floor 0? Are they still rankless before defeating a guardian, and if they defeat the floor 50 guardian (for example) do they become rank 51? I know children and pregnancy hasn't come up in the story so far so I'm not expecting an answer from what has already been written. I'm just curious how all of that works.

2026-02-18 18:04:24 +0000 UTClots of walls in this chapter! I was most excited for the "Wall of frog" but it turned out to be fog. More seriously - the void wall is going to be super interesting!
