    Summary

    At the upper levels of the tower, past the 100th floor, the tests suddenly increase in difficulty again. Unlike the 20th floor, where Regulars often rest for years, too tired to push on, this barrier is called the 'glass ceiling' of the tower.

    The reason for this is nepotism, (or favoritism, or politics, different people call it different things). In any case, starting from the 100th floor, there are certain floors owned by the 10 Great Families. And naturally, being a part of one of these families might give you a big advantage.

    Or, for their enemies, these tests become battlegrounds with their lives on the line.

    The 100th floor belongs to Arie Hon

    The 111th floor belongs to Khun Eduan

    Summary

    He is a Khun, and his team has three members of FUG. The firefish loops around his wrist in an orange arc; a reminder that it is still, technically, a Yeon flame.

    The 100th floor belongs to Arie Hon, who has never been known for letting his enemies go easily.

    Summary

    The light still doesn't make sense against his eyes, but he thinks he remembers something like color. There is a lot of color around him, and he is able to discern white and black and a great deal of something else. It's a breathtaking splash of vivacity on a new canvas, where there had been no canvas at all for so many eternities. It is the most beautiful thing he has ever seen.

    Red, Xie Lian finally names it.

    -

    In a disorienting turn of luck, Xie Lian is rescued from State Preceptor Fangxin's coffin. He recovers his other senses in good time, but his sight is taking longer to return—decades with no exposure to light have weakened his capacity for it.

    His benefactor and worshiper, a wealthy and eccentric ghost named Hua Cheng, hasn't left his side for months.

    Do you have nightmares?
    The message popped up on the screen. Caelus looked at it hesitantly, normally he would’ve thought this were for some kind of case study or data collection, but given recent events–this message worried him.
    But what could he offer in the way of comfort?

    Summary

    they say there's nothing at the top of the tower.

    just a flat expanse of misshapen rocks and pebbles, and the few spindly weeds that are stubborn enough to grow on such an unforgiving terrain.

    they say the stars aren't all they're made out to be. just dim splotches of light against a sheet of ink, no larger than the point of a pencil.

    if you were to get closer, you'd find that they're just burning balls of gas — and by the time their light reaches your eyes, half of them will be dead anyways.
