After you crumble against the rock you feel so much pain, you forget it’s a story. You eyes start drifting reality warps into the home of an author, with scattered clothes around the floor and posters around the walls. A Giant, Ethereal Creature begins to greet you.
(BB)”Hello my wonderful hero! What brings you here to my humble gamer home?”
You tell the Giant, Ethereal Creature about your tales thus far.
(BB)”Oh my, how intriguing! And surely, you’ve come up with a name for an adventure this grand, right?”
You tell the Giant, Ethereal Creature the story’s title.
(BB)”…DarkStar? Really? Out of all the creative names you could’ve come up with, DarkStar is what you chose?”
You hang your head low in shame.
(BB)”Well, hmm… while it does sound like the title of a magical princess anime, it also does have a nice ring to it. Yes, I suppose I’ll get used to it. Alright then, off you go!”
The Giant, Ethereal Creature picks up a golden dagger, and cuts the air, splitting the fabric of spacetime, making a portal back to whence you came. You see rocks scattered over your body, crushing you with the weight of what seems to be existential dread. Was that all a dream? A last shoot of creativity your brain takes before it powers down forever? Perhaps we’ll never know, as the Shadow Colossus throws a boulder at your location, you, oblivious.
