Hail_The_loli

Renji, a devoted player of a post-apocalyptic game, had numerous exes who were all fictional characters within the game. As a firm believer in strength, Renji would strip useless characters of their equipment and resources, relegating them to the background as caretakers while giving the best to new, powerful characters. He insisted this was temporary, all for the sake of advancing in the game and saving the precarious post-apocalyptic world.
However, these "fictional characters" didn't seem to agree with Renji's perspective. When Renji, with his emphasis on strength and meticulous planning, fulfilled his mission as the "savior" by putting an end to the source of Tainted Miasma in the wasteland and becoming the first to achieve a "perfect clearance," he unexpectedly found himself transported to the game's second stage. Renji had thought he would soar directly into a carefree life, but he soon realized that things were not quite as he had imagined.

Fallen Chronicles

Renji looked down at Bal, who had returned to his "High Priest" appearance, and after placing him on the ground, Bal coughed violently. His body, corroded by the black mire, seemed like a last flicker of vitality as he slowly opened his eyes.

He could have continued to resurrect himself using the black mire within his body, just like he did during his fight with Nova but this time, Bal chose not to. He chose to give up.

For Nova, Bal harbored only endless jealousy, which he could vent through repeated battles.

But with his Master Ashen, Bal couldn't do it. He couldn't fight Renji over and over again as an enemy. Or perhaps, his original intention was to be defeated by Ashen's own hands. That, for him, would be the best ending…

'After all, at least during the recent battle, Lord Ashen belonged only to me. Lord Ashen's entire attention was on me, watching me closely, even though I was disfigured and ugly…'
