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

An oppressive pressure suddenly fell on the area surrounding the Dimensional Rift. With each strike to its chest, the massive armored gorilla sent powerful tremors through the surroundings. It slammed its tail on the ground as well causing the nearby ruins to crumble one bit at a time.

After going at it for a few more seconds, the beast raised its fists high once more in then brought them down with everything it got.

A familiar scene. Mark had only seen it once, but the impact it left on him was something he couldn't hope to forget till the day he died.

The monstrosity reminded him of Malarak. Same as the malevolent dragon, the first thing it did when arriving in the new world was let out a celebratory cry.

"King Scorpion, huh?" Franco scoffed. "The bastard doesn't even have a proper name."
