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

In the apartment adjacent to her master's, Lara Becker slowly rose from under a thin blanket. Despite having remained awake the entire night, her beautiful face showed no sign that she lacked sleep.

She turned her gaze to the other side of the bed and saw an orange-haired girl still fast asleep. Her peaceful expression lacked any of the energy she displayed during the day.

The dhampir girl pulled the blanket to cover her new friend, got up without making a sound then slipped into the bathroom to take a quick shower. The cold water helped clear her thoughts even though it was far from what she usually enjoyed.

Drying her long silver hair would have been a tedious endeavor to anyone else, but the dhampir didn't pay it much mind. All it took was raising the output of her Force Field to the maximum and in just a couple of seconds, the lingering dampness was gone. Even then she still wrapped her elegant figure in a towel and went about brushing her teeth.

Pancakes.
