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

Though they hadn't agreed to it beforehand, Ramsay, Elya, and Alex were racing to see who would deal the finishing blow to the monstrosity first, but that didn't mean they were going all out from the start.

It was a delicate competition where they landed restrained blows to the Demon, gradually wearing it down until it became clear when to go for the final attack.

Hitting it too hard before that time arrived risked giving the others the opening they needed so they had to be careful not to go too far.

One would think swinging a giant sword from the start was a horrible strategy, but Elya thought otherwise. Having seen the Demon use its Force Field when widening the Rift, she was sure it would do the same when blocking her attack. Her hunch turned out to be right, but when Ramsay's arrows exploded against the Demon's face a pang of anger twisted her expression.

Apes don't have tails.
