Time passes.
For the Dimensional Esophagus, the passage of time holds no meaning, yet for the exiles living here, continuously digested by the inexorable rules of the Endless World, it is a tangible experience, not wasted due to the twisting temporal discrepancies with the real Material World.
Unknowingly, an entire epoch has passed.
On the Dimensional Esophagus Bone Continent, the number of exiles from the Material World isn't considered small. However, relative to the continent's vastness, the temporal fault barriers, and the constant continuous digestion by the Endless World for various reasons, it isn't considered large either.
Only in those gathering places formed by special rules can there emerge societies of exiles following different rules, attempting to evade the fate of being digested by the Endless World.
An epoch, ten thousand years!
