Top Level
Highest Level Reached
The peak level a crawler reached, preserved on their record; York's stands at 71.
Story so far
Former crawlers' status cards list a Top Level, the highest level they attained before leaving the dungeon. York's reads 71, achieved before he took the deal at the end of The Tenth Floor.
The number is a poor measure of him by his own account: the stronger he grew as a crawler, the weaker he felt, and the weaker he felt, the angrier he became, until the Tenodera numbness closed over him around the ninth floor. Power did not save his hive and did not make him part of a team.
Role
