Lore · debuts Book 6, Chapter 0 — “Prologue: Mordecai’s Tenth Floor”
The Celestial Ascendency
The sponsors’ real game · begins Floor 12
The endgame the galaxy's elite actually care about: sponsor-vs-sponsor “Ascendency battles” that begin only once a crawler reaches the twelfth floor (or is zeroed out). Demigods serve as attendants (Odette's friend Armita lands such a gig), and AI subroutines are legally forbidden from monitoring Ascendency sponsor communications, the loophole that let Armita broker Odette's illegal bribe. To sponsors like Huanxin Jinx the lower floors are mere boredom-killing; the Ascendency is the real contest.
Book 6 appearances
