Lore & Background
While it mentions that Nanachi and Mitty are sent down to the sixth layer in Bondrewd's experiments, and that Mitty currently lives with Nanachi on the fifth layer (Ido Front area), no further details about the Fourth Layer itself—such as its landmarks, flora, fauna, or history—are provided in the text.
In Their Own Story
The source does not recount a story set within the Fourth Layer. The narrative events described involve Riko, Reg, and Nanachi traveling to lower layers, specifically noting their arrival at the sixth layer where Nanachi lost part of their humanity and Mitty became a Hollow. It also mentions Faputa living in the sixth layer and Bondrewd guarding the gateway to the sixth layer from Ido Front (fifth layer). No specific moments or turning points occurring on the Fourth Layer are recorded.

Frequently Asked Questions
What defines the environment of the Fourth Layer?
This layer is characterized by a bioluminescent forest filled with ancient ruins scattered throughout the landscape. The darkness here marks where the true dangers of the Abyss begin to emerge.
How severe is the Curse of the Abyss in this section?
Curse severity here is classified as moderate, though severe pain can begin during ascent from deeper levels. Visitors might also suffer mild nausea if they climb back up to the upper layers too fast.
What equipment is needed to explore safely?
Proper exploration requires climbing equipment, sturdy ropes, and reliable lanterns to navigate the terrain. Without these tools, descending further becomes significantly more dangerous for any delver.

This layer marks the point where natural light fades and the true darkness of the Abyss begins to take hold. It serves as a warning that the environment has shifted into a more hostile state for explorers.
Are there notable landmarks within this zone?
Key locations include the glowing bioluminescent forest and various ancient ruins hidden among the vegetation. These structures often hold relics, though retrieving them carries increased risk due to the curse.
