REGARDING THE FLOORS OF THE SKYRISE CASINO
The three floors of the SC are not as random as they may seem. Rather, they follow an organized structure, albeit one that can be strangely confusing.
The first floor is the guest floor, where the entrance to the SC is located. It serves as the primary area for casual gambling and routine administrative affairs. It can also be considered the tourism floor, as the souvenir shop is located here as well.
From the first floor, the All Seeing Eye appears most magnificent, its colorful radiance and extravagant design on full display. The eye feels distant and unreachable, inspiring a strange sense of comfort, as though one is being watched over by a godlike creature.
This floor embodies the casino’s grandeur and extravagance, with towering pillars and spiraling structures visible from the very bottom. It is the perfect place to capture the attention of tourists and draw them into the casino.
The second floor feels more solemn, bathed in a warm, reddish radiance. It is mostly occupied by gaming tables, with fewer machines in sight. The All Seeing Eye is less visible from this area, as it is more closed off to the public.
The players on this floor are mostly regulars and veteran casino-goers seeking friendly matches. They encounter familiar faces day after day, spending their time drinking, chatting, and enjoying one another’s company.
The second floor also features a bar that remains open 24/7. Behind the counter stands a bartender equipped with numerous rapid-moving prosthetic arms, which never fail to mix liquor beautifully for the establishment’s most loyal customers.
Although this floor can be considered a quiet place, those who listen closely may catch whispers and rumors circulating among its patrons.
The third and final floor boasts the most glamorous and grandiose designs of all. Here, the All Seeing Eye is closer than ever, watching over those who stand before their final challenge and judging their worthiness.
The floor is surrounded by luxurious auditoriums, each serving as a stage for the grandest “performances.” These rooms are rarely used for ordinary games and tend to become particularly busy during the semifinals and finals of each season.
When the final game of the season arrives, it is held in the central auditorium, directly beneath the All Seeing Eye.
The auditorium is then lifted, bringing it closer to the All Seeing Eye. It is said that those who win these performances will “receive enlightenment and live with eternal glory,” while those deemed losers will face a trial for their “sins,” judged according to what the All Seeing Eye considers just.
And that concludes the accessible areas of the SC.
However, one particular room on the third floor remains hidden from public view to this day. Unlike the other auditoriums, it bears no grand decorations. It has no handle, nor any visible sign of an entrance. Despite this, the room undeniably exists.
There are no markings to indicate an entrance and no witnesses who have seen anyone enter or leave. The room remains entirely inaccessible to the public eye, perhaps for better or for worse.
“May the best one win, by which all is revealed.”
