He nodded understandingly. "That is because that place is a beyonder so ancient that even V'elen doesn't know which one or even what subspecies of beyonder it was. I suspect once you get past level 500, it starts taking 'personal' interest in consuming the delver, hence why the mortal that made it to level 502 was utterly and completely nuts when they came out. And also why I am not going below that level until well after Verdelet is dust and echoes in the Tome of Records. Past 450 it feels like it is starting to take interest, the levels getting exponentially harder with each successive one, hence why I could just get to 492 before having to bail. Still well past the previous record for a god at two hundred and something, but still, not going to risk losing everything I worked so hard to get here, I enjoy it far more than is healthy. Probably due to not having anything when I was mortal."
