Chapter 43 - 2nd floor

Ever since Rivyn bested Virela, an eternal atmosphere had wed itself with the air that revolved around his being. Men shunned his house, and nobody dared to come forward with a view to a fight. It was the speed and violence with which he defeated Virela that gave him a name-not in the closest of circles, but among millions of participants spread throughout the vast region. Notwithstanding such an overwhelming mass of people, the space never once felt crowded-a testament to the reality of the peculiar world they found themselves in. The environment changes, it seems, to accommodate all without drowning in an overload of people, but Rivyn stood out more so than others.
