"Now, with that… I've finally severed every tie I had to my old world."
He spoke with a smile that reflected his relief.
At that moment, he felt as though every regret he'd carried from his previous life had disappeared.
As though he'd become an entirely new person.
He belonged to Ordeal now, completely and utterly.
He was no longer that young man who streamed games from his bedroom and suffered through sleepless nights.
Although, ironically enough, the person sitting beside him was a tangible connection to the world he'd left behind.
Speaking of Verso…
The young man suddenly leaped to his feet atop the tower's edge, thrusting his fist high into the air.
"LET THE WORLD TREMBLE! WE'RE THE TWO PLAYERS WHO WILL END THIS NIGHTMARE AND RESTORE THE LIGHT!"
"WE'LL ACCOMPLISH WHAT NO ONE ELSE HAS EVER MANAGED, BECAUSE WE HAVE A PLAYER WHO ACTUALLY BEAT THE GAME AND DEFEATED THE NIGHT LORDS!"
Verso shouted with unrestrained enthusiasm.
"Get down from there. You look ridiculous."
