James had withstood the poison for almost three hours straight. According to Noah, he would be exposed to the poison many times over the next 21 days, and even if he didn't know what the outcome would be, he was sure that it would benefit him.
However, James wanted to reach the 20th floor, he was filled with great hope and excitement.
After all, there were abilities he could get from Chronos, and the fact that Chronos had a special window where he could watch him at all times, or that the old man had a definite reason for coming to James' side, made it all the better.
Of course, he couldn't go down from the 75th floor, that was the deal after all, the only reason James thought that way was because Chronos was time itself, which meant that Chronos could somehow create a lower time zone and keep James training going.
"Ready, James?"
