Alex was surprised at how crowded the 1st floor was. He couldn't use his spiritual sense, so he couldn't tell how many people there were, but there had to be at least a third of the people that had entered the sanctum.
That made sense too, given that everyone who failed was dumped back here.
He looked around and saw dejected people who had failed once again. Nearly 10 days had passed since they had come here, and they were still on the first floor.
Compared to the person that was said to have completed the entire thing in just 15 days, they were too slow.
Still, when compared to the average time taken, they were barely getting started.
Alex looked around carefully. Without his spiritual sense, it would be hard to tell if someone was looking at him or had a talisman in their hand. If they got the jump on him while he was distracted, it would be very bad.
