Nick looked with wonder at the Shweeb.

The most powerful people in the past used to drive around in those?

Wyntor explained in detail how to operate the Shweeb, and Nick listened intently.

Eventually, Wyntor got into one and closed the door, and moments later, the Shweeb began to move forward.

Nick had already entered the Shweeb behind Wyntor's Shweeb and nervously moved his legs forward.

The pedal moved forward without any resistance, and in a panic that he might have broken something, Nick pedaled faster.

The Shweeb shot forward and quickly hit Wyntor's Shweeb.

Nick's heart nearly stopped.

Was Wyntor okay?!

How expensive were these Shweebs?!

Did he break them?!

However, Wyntor's Shweeb only shook from side to side a bit and continued moving forward as if nothing had happened.

When Nick saw that, he released a sigh of relief.

Luckily, these Shweebs seemed to be made of rather durable material.

Slowly, Nick went back to pedaling, and after a while, he entered a steady rhythm.

He was following behind Wyntor with a steady pace.

The sides of the Shweeb were made of some kind of material that Nick could see through but wasn't glass, and Nick could see himself climbing higher and higher.

Very soon, Nick reached a height that he had never been to before.

It was terrifying!

If the Shweeb broke, he would die!

The higher they climbed, the more anxious Nick became.

People were not supposed to live in the sky!

They were supposed to live on the ground, surrounded by metal.

A bit later, Nick saw an intersection coming up and became even more nervous.

Wyntor told him how to navigate the intersection, and Nick only hoped that he wouldn't make a mistake.

Nick put his hand on a lever to his right and moved it back.

Some seconds later, Wyntor's Shweeb moved towards the rail on the right, and Nick only hoped that he hadn't committed a mistake.

Luckily, his Shweeb also went to the rail on the right, relieving Nick.

Working with any of the Specters was less stressful and scary than driving this damn thing!

After some time, Nick and Wyntor went past the first layer of huge metallic circles.

And now, Nick could finally see the actual middle layer.

Houses!

Directly beside the gigantic pillars were huge houses made of brick!

The houses were absolutely gigantic!

Additionally, while the circles were metallic from the bottom, Nick couldn't see any metal while looking at them from the top.

The only things he could see were grass, trees, ponds, and pools.

One of these huge circles had a couple of mansions surrounding the gigantic pillar in the middle, and the outer parts of the circle were filled with greenery and water.

Every mansion also had a rail leading out of it.

That was probably where the Shweebs of the rich people were stored.

Nick saw many children running around a little forest on one of the platforms, and he even saw them climbing the trees.

It was so alien and strange.

DUNK!

Nick's Shweeb shook, and his heart nearly stopped.

He had been so distracted that he hadn't noticed that he had gained speed, which resulted in him hitting Wyntor's Shweeb again.

Wyntor's Shweeb was pushed forward a bit, but it easily entered another rail and continued on.

Nick felt insanely nervous again.

What if he killed Wyntor?!

For a while, Nick only paid attention to the Shweeb in front of him until he got distracted again.

Nick looked upwards, and he noticed something amazing.

A blue sky!

About 80% of the area above Nick was made of blue sky, while the remaining 20% were just the rails for the Shweebs again.

Obviously, the "blue sky" was just the image reflected by the underside of the next layer of platforms, which was strange.

After all, the lowest layer of platforms didn't create this image of a blue sky.

But then, Nick got distracted by something else.

He saw people running on top of the rails!

Nick's heart almost stopped when he saw how fast the people were running.

Naturally, all of these people wore Extractor Uniforms, and since only Veterans and stronger could live here, they were all also quite powerful.

All of them were running at crazy speeds across the rails, and some of them were even jumping from platform to platform.

Yet, none of them fell.

They all seemed to move with confidence and ease at speeds that Nick couldn't even reach with his ability active.

It was almost like they were shooting through the sky.

Nick even saw one daredevil leaping from an upper layer of circles to a lower one, even though there were over a hundred meters between them!

DUNK!

Nick hit Wyntor's Shweeb again, and he took a deep breath.

Luckily, nothing happened.

The two of them continued driving, and after a while, they went up another layer.

That was when Nick noticed something.

Now, the "blue sky" above them covered over 99%.

This meant that the next layer had no streets.

After some minutes, Nick followed Wyntor onto that layer via a rail that went along the side of the huge structure.

As soon as they went past the layer, Nick's eyes widened.

Enormous!

There was an absolutely gigantic building, over 200 meters wide and long!

Nick immediately took note of the huge symbol adorning the front of the building.

It was a ball with a scratch.

It was Gemini's symbol!

Gemini was a Zephyx Manufacturer with three Experts, level four Extractors.

This was where Gemini was located!

That was when Nick took note of an even bigger building in the distance.

Gemini actually only occupied 20% of the layer.

The other 80% were occupied by the other building, and that building had the silhouette of a ghost on it.

Ghosty's Lab!

DUNK!

Nick hit Wyntor's Shweeb again, but by now, he had gotten used to it.

Nick kept looking at the two huge buildings, but before he had his fill, they vanished as Nick and Wyntor entered a new layer.

This time, there was only a single building.

It covered the entire layer and was over a hundred meters high!

It was ridiculously big!

Nick saw the symbol of a puppet on the front, which represented Anatomy, the second biggest Manufacturer.

However, Wyntor's Shweeb kept going upwards.

Nick knew where they would end up next.
