Synopsis

The chapter focuses on the brutal upgrades to the training facility, emphasizing the harsh reality of no regeneration. The selection process becomes a test of extreme survival with a 'cut off your arm' trial forcing trainees to prove their commitment and skill. Several characters undergo a synthesis process and level up, while others are eliminated. A new tiered system is introduced with the creation of the second floor, offering a reward for survival but also acting as a motivational factor for those left behind. The chapter also hints at a system of continuous expansion with more floors being built.
