Why did I do that.
Even though ten years have already passed, I can't forget that day.
"Ah, I've seen all the endings."
I Gyu-an, age 20. Two months before entering university.
Like all kids that age, I played games nonstop in my spare time.
[Diabl Fantasy: Academy Arc]
Excellent (trash-tier) control difficulty and a well-rated (overwhelmingly negative) story!
It was a game that had been completely buried after taking endless shit from everyone, but.
I, who had too much time on my hands, stubbornly clung to that game out of spite and finally achieved the incredible feat of seeing every ending.
Among the fewer-than-ten-thousand users, I was the only one who collected all the endings.
"Huh, what? This thing has a custom feature?"
A custom feature that unlocked upon reaching 100% ending completion.
With nothing left to do, I fiddled around with that custom feature.
'Oh. I can just set everything however I want.'
Appearance, talent, you name it.
Since I could configure all sorts of other trivial things as well, I was immersed in that feature for quite a while.
And then, one thing caught my eye.
[Brand of Distortion (Ex)]
I discovered that cursed name.
I had been filled with curiosity about all sorts of things back then.
'This is a restriction I've never seen before. It's basically hardcore mode, huh?'
Thinking, 'How hard could it be?' I simply pressed start.
Someone should have smacked me upside the head back then.
'...How did I end up like this?'
Ten years since possessing the game.
Today again, I was alone in my room, gloomily staring at the blue window.
