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 attack came out of nowhere, leaving the Peace Keepers in shambles. Overwhelming numbers tipped the balance to one side and usurped control over the underground shelters one by one.

The refugees sensed the tremors caused by the battle and believed it to be another monster invasion. The horrors they survived came back to torment them and only the worst filled their minds. They were lacking in imagination, however.

Hope's End underground shelter number 18 was far from the center of the city and the events from a few days ago. It was exactly for those reasons why the number of survivors it housed was significantly higher.

A large crowd huddled together in the spacious hall. Zhang Tianmu couldn't help but grimace. He understood the cause but that did little to lower the displeasure he felt. A few thousands were gathered in front of him yet they weren't even half of the shelter's population.

Pitiful Souls.
