How long can one ignore the voices in their head?

Nine years. To Mark, that was the limit. 

For the majority of his life, Mark White has been fighting a constant battle for his sanity. The voices in his head pushed him toward madness one whisper at a time, and the music he used to ward against them was gradually losing its effects. 
As his mental state slowly deteriorated, Mark spent more of his time working on a game he had been developing and lamenting his lack of romantic experience. 

One night, the voices dealt him a powerful blow, bringing their battle to an end. To his surprise, Mark won the battle, but that came at a great cost.

The voices might have disappeared, but a visual hallucination arrived to replace them, taking the form of a character from his game: Maids VS Apocalypse. Little did he know that the real apocalypse was already coming for him.

Maids VS Apocalypse

The rift had been sealed so it was time to move to the next one. Soon after getting on the truck, Mark opened his status window to check what had changed.

He was terrified to see his HP having dropped to 70%. It confirmed what Ramsay said about leveling up being dangerous to one's body, and although the pain had receded a bit, there is no denying the lingering effects.

'Maybe an HP potion… nah, it wouldn't be that easy…'

Worry about yourslf.
