After years of preparation and seclusion, Gloria had finally advanced to level 113, four months after Abby had reached the same level.
Abby was now meditating in her hut, having conquered ruin number 15 weeks prior. She was preparing to face ruin 14. Minos had recently completed ruin 4, so they planned to remain in the area for an indeterminate period until he conquered the last three ruins of this inheritance.
Ruth, meanwhile, was at the beginning of level 114. After providing Gloria with the necessary tips to tackle the upcoming challenge, she was ready to move on to ruin number 12.
Contemplating ruin 11 was out of the question for her unless she advanced to the 12th stage in this dimension. However, she doubted she could achieve such a feat. Even in a powerful place like Uzira, advancing to the 12th stage was extremely difficult.
