Chapter 0: Review (No Spoilers)
Never trust a title alone when you're online and deciding what to click.
[A Fresh Review Right After Playing (No Spoilers)]
Because there are useless idiots hiding all over the internet in titles that seem ordinary at first glance.
Let your guard down for a moment, and you're quickly done for.
Take, for example,
[...These guys are the real villains, and the only allies who stay with the protagonist till the end are Yuli, Siel, and Lien.
A review?
Forget it.
What's the point in playing the game when you've already seen the whole story?
Just give up and quit, you fool LOL]
Just like I've been spoiled about the game just now.
"What kind of pathetic loser does something like this?"
Grinding my teeth, I turned off my phone. Is this person really that devoid of things to do?
Who's going to pay them for spoiling things with such a meticulously crafted bait post?
I couldn't wrap my head around it with any sort of normal logic.
'...And I was looking forward to this game.'
A disaster brought on by my complacent thought of checking the reviews before playing.
The return was disastrous.
The sequel to the game that had been the masterpiece of my life.
I had pre-ordered the version that came with extra perks for additional money, only to have it ruined by one infuriating person.
I sighed deeply as I filled out the reason for the refund.
Though I'd get back a sum over 100,000 won, the disappointment of missing out on a game I had highly anticipated was greater.
I had even cleared my schedule for two days straight to finish the game without interruptions.
And to add insult to injury, the reviews I sneaked a peek at were all glowing, claiming it was a 'Game of the Year' contender and that not pre-ordering it was like missing out on half of life.
'...Should I just try it for an hour?'
That thought crossed my mind eventually.
It wasn't such a bad option, after all.
It was a new release I had been eagerly waiting for, and if it felt off midway, I could still ask for a refund.
As long as I didn't play over two hours, a refund was always an option.
So, why not just have a taste?
With that light-hearted mindset, I pressed the play button on the game...
"...Huh?"
I was swallowed into an abyss of pitch-black darkness.

-You pathetic loser. Got nothing better to do?
A malicious comment on a baiting spoiler post.
Angry replies began to appear shortly after someone left that comment.
└Just ignore it and play. This is a fake spoiler.
└Both the hero and villain names are switched up, and the summarized story is a mess. Just play without worrying about it.
Unfortunately, the original commenter would never see these replies.
It was inevitable.
For he was no longer of this world.
