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

Finally making it out of the truck, Mark kept a low posture and hid behind its armored frame. He peeked in the direction of the fighting and saw Lara evading the attacks of some sort of lizard, this one much bigger than those that attacked them the other day.

Seeing the crooked red Halo above the creature's head, Mark understood that they were up against something different from the Stone Rhinos.

The monster looked like an oversized Komodo dragon with the head of a crocodile. Jagged teeth lined the sides of its maw and dark gray scales jutted out of its spine like broken glass, continuing all the way to the tip of its tail.

Despite its size, the creature was moving quite fast. It followed after Lara trying to crush her under its feet, and when the girl successfully evaded a few times it swung its tail like a whip leaving her nowhere to go.

Impressive.
