Chapter 1: Prologue
Chapter 1: Prologue
There is a 99.9% chance that the world of this game will be destroyed.
There is only one happy ending.
However, not a single user has seen that happy ending.
It's dead end game for every user who played this game
And... I was dropped into this game as an extra.
* * *
The morning at Celtrin House was unusually bright that day.
From the gatekeeper at the main gate to the maid in the kitchen, every employee of the Celtrin family had a bright, barely hidden joy on their faces.
They say happiness has its own story, but this time, everyone's joy came from the same source.
Max Celtrin.
That was because it was the day the human scum known as "Count Celtrin's Trash" was returning to the academy.
"Ahhh... This day has finally come."
A maid's voice floated through the air.
"Yeah. I've been so suffocated for so long that I can't even breathe properly..."
Another maid sobbed.
"Oh, come to your senses and don't act rashly until the very end!" the head maid scolded.
But even on her face, there was a joyous look that couldn't be completely hidden.
This series of conversations and reactions was enough to tell how a man named Max Celtrin was treated in his family.
* * *
I looked in the mirror.
There was a man's face there that I had only seen in the game.
Relatively neat facial features. One thin, sharp, and venomous-looking eye made the entire expression feel tense.
An impression that made people reluctant to approach.
"...Hah."
As I sighed in disbelief, the man in the mirror sighed as well. It was natural because the man in the mirror was me.
But it's also true that it was a face I had only seen in the game.
Because I never had a face like this in the first place.
Yes, that's right.
I think I've been transmigrated.
No, I was confused. At times like these, I have no choice but to admit it calmly. That I was transmigrated into body of the character in game world.
"Damn it."
The curse slipped out.
I stopped looking at the unfamiliar, tense face and threw myself onto the leather sofa, which looked very soft at first glance. It seemed necessary to take a sober look at the situation I was in.
First things first.
I knew this world. It was natural because I had played this game hundreds, if not thousands, of times.
**There is no happy ending for that hero.**
That was the point of this game.

\\- She is two-faced bastard.
\\- She's really nice, but the only way to make her mad is to confess and then cheat on her.
\\- This game needs to be well managed. No matter what I do to complete this, It won't enough. This is the dead end game.

[**Ah, sh*t, I chose to wait for a colleague at the branch, but not a single colleague showed up. I keep fighting alone and I'm dying. I'm going to swear.**]
The bulletin board was filled with trial and error posts, as befitting a game with the highest difficulty.
"It's a good time, it's a good time."
As I read the posts on the bulletin board, I chuckled like a seasoned veteran looking at a newbie. I had already experienced this level of trial and error long ago.
So, to put it bluntly, that's not even a problem. The real problem is that there is no clear answer.
People who don't know will think, "There's a guide for every game, so what's the big deal?"
But hardcore players like me, who spend every spare moment playing this game to the limit, know better.
There is no such thing as a model answer in this game.
This is the game where if it seems like it's going to get tangled up, it's bound to fail, and if it seems like it's going to work out well, it's still bound to fail.
The latter case was particularly troubling because I couldn't figure out where or what I did wrong.
The bottom line is that this game is just going to fail no matter what you do.
So far, not a single person has been able to clear this game. Since no one has cleared it, there's no way something like a strategy could exist.
Even the developers, the only ones who know the answer, have disappeared as if they were dead.
But...
"It's not like there isn't anything at all."
There is no perfect strategy, but there is something that the very few players who have passed the 10th chapter, known as the Wailing Wall, have in common.
The growth of the main character and human relationships.
Only by mastering those two things could one break through the 10-chapter wall of despair.
Yes, that's right.
Those two things are the core of this game. I could say this with confidence.
As one of the few players in the world who has broken through Chapter 10 countless times, I am fully qualified to say so.
"Let me just give you one tip."
I was thinking about posting a short tip for the poor beginners when a new post popped up on the bulletin board.
[**The human who complete this game is a god.**]
\\- yep
\\- right
\\- Okay, okay
\\- I can never complete this game.
\\- It's easier if you give up.
Comments were running in real-time. I added one of my own.
**\\- I'll beat it. I'll finish this dead end game.**
Honestly, I had no confidence.
But I was confident that I was qualified to clear this crazy game. I invested a lot of time, studied like crazy, and replayed it from the beginning countless times, just like no one else.
"Well... If I fail hundreds more times, I'll see the way."
That's when I lost consciousness and blacked out.
