Dome of Protection "Rome"—Renovatio Imperii Headquarters—Tenth Floor: Player Room
Enzo woke up in a vast room over a square kilometer in size. It was like a huge conference floor mixed with a warehouse, an area filled with Renovatio Imperii's gaming booths.
All SuperGuilds had rooms like these, enough space for their entire roster to play at once, as well as a whole infrastructure system in place to ensure the basic needs of all players were met over the course of many hours. With such rigid management practices and facilities in place, this was simply yet another way the SuperGuilds had a massive advantage over everyone else.
Enzo climbed out of his gaming booth, ignoring the hundreds of still-playing guild members who surrounded him, and ran on shaky legs to the elevator which serviced the Player Room. He didn't want to waste a single second to catch his breath.
