Finished This Damned Game!

[Congratulations!]

[You have killed the main antagonist — "Azariah C. Alastair"!]

[You have successfully completed the game!]

"Fuck... I've done it." A young man laid back on his chair as he saw the ending screen of the game that he was playing.

"LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Fuck you, devs!" He raised both of his middle fingers to the screen as he screamed in euphoria.

The game the young man was playing was called [Nelsiths's Eroge Academy]. It was a simple eroge game where you had to conquer the heroines and beat the living shit out of the villains.

However, this game was different. Its difficulty was literally max-level.

Just to conquer the heroine, a normal player would have to reach Chapter 3 of the game, and there are dozens of heroines spread throughout the game!

Not to mention how many gameover screens there were. One could said that the developers focused more on the gameover screens than the plot itself.

Besides, for an Eroge Game, its difficulty was simply absurd. Eroge Games are supposed to be easy because each heroine should have a "hidden attribute" to facilitate the player's journey to conquer them.

This game also had that kind of "hidden kinks", but to trigger them, you needed to pass through the nine gates of hell!

It was simply too difficult to trigger those!

And if that wasn't enough, there is one more single thing that was more stressful than conquering those hardcore heroines.

It was the [Main Antagonist], which is called "Azariah C. Alastair".

This guy... was the weakest at the beginning of the game, but suddenly, he becomes the [Main Antagonist] and simply dominates everything in the academy.

It's worth noting that there are a significant number of gameover screens that can be attributed to the actions of this same [Antagonist].

He would steal the heroines, and then kill you. Or, he would kill the heroines and then kill you. 

It always ended up with the player dying.

There are so many things that he could do, and to top it off, he had some kind of cheat.

He was the childhood friend of all the [Main Heroines]. And mainly the reason why conquering those heroines was so difficult.

However, even with all of those aspects, he wasn't invincible...

"After seeing more than 200 gameover screens caused by this guy... I finally beat the crap out of him!" The young man quickly took a screenshot and posted it in the [Nelsiths's Eroge Academy] forum.

Just after a few seconds, he was flooded with messages...

[ErogeLover921]: @TroubleLove, please tell us your secret weapon to clear this cursed game!

[FeetLicker69]: @TroubleLove, please share the routes! I don't wanna see my favorite heroines getting NTR'ed!

However, as he continued reading the messages, his eyes suddenly parted slightly as he saw a familiar nickname.

[Venus]: @TroubleLove, congratulations! You are the first player to ever complete the game! Please contact me privately.

"Huh...? Why does she want me to contact her? Well, since she's the game developed I guess, it shouldn't be such a problem." He sighed and sent her a private message.

[Venus]: What did you think of my game? You can be as honest as you want, even if you directly express your thoughts to kill me.

[TroubleLove]: Well... it was honestly, the best game that I ever played. The plot was very well done, and the graphics were insane! However...

[Venus]: What's the problem?

[TroubleLove]: Like many players have complained, the difficulty is simply too absurd. Especially with such a broken-ass character as Azariah.

[Venus]: Azariah, huh? What do you think of him?

[TroubleLove]: Azariah? Um... honestly, if I could choose a playable character, it would be him without a doubt even though he has messed up my endings more than 300 times, lmao.

[Venus]: Oh? Why is that?

[TroubleLove]: Well... he's basic the whole package. A duke's son, the childhood friend of the most important heroines, and not to mention his overwhelming power. Shit, by the fourth chapter of the game, he was already strong enough to obliterate the entire academy.

[Venus]: That's... quite nice to hear.

[TroubleLove]: Mhm?

[Venus]: Every player has complained about him, but you... you're different. You're not even mad about getting NTR screens because of him.

[TroubleLove]: Oh... I just press ALT+F4 when one of those screens threatens to appear... hahahaha, lol.

[Venus]: Hehehe, then if you can... would you like to play as Azariah?

[TroubleLove]: Oh, that would be a dream come true!

[Venus]: I can do that for you.

[TroubleLove]: Really?!

[Venus]: Yeah, but there's a single problem... you'd receive every memory Azariah has, which meant that you would become "broken".

[TroubleLove]: Huh? What do you mean by that?

[Venus]: Would you like to play as Azariah?

[Yes] or [No]

"What is this...? Is this an ad or something?" The young man scratched his head in confusion.

"Oh... I guess the developers created this interface for me or something?" 

"Anyway! Let's find out what's so special about Azariah!"

— Click!

The young man clicked on the [Yes] and suddenly, his monitor emitted a very bright light which prompted him to close his eyes.

"W-what...?" As he opened his eyes, he suddenly saw something coming out of his monitor.

— Splat!

Azariah, coming out of the monitor, simply stabbed his hand into the young man's chest and smashed his heart.

The young man's vision started blurring and the last thing he saw was a message from [Venus], the developer of the game...

[Venus]: Then, good luck... Azariah C. Alastair, my Darling~ ♡.
