The number of competitors kept plummeting faster and faster. The space available for everyone decreased as the Nightmare Demons got more packed as time went. The world boundaries shortened by half every time 500 competitors were eliminated. Without another choice, everyone rushed to the center of the Soul World, afraid of being swallowed by the boundaries of the shirking world.
-Number of participants remaining: 1500.-
-The Soul World range will now be reduced by half. Those at the edges, be careful. If you fall outside, your Soul will be destroyed.-

Otherwise, there would be much more depending on the lucky.
