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 the meaning went over his head at first, Mark soon understood what the Sergeant was referring to, and with that understanding came a swirling sensation in his stomach.

He had been trying to not think about it too much. It was time to have the conversation with his illustrator friend, which meant informing him about the maid summoning System and his role in it.

Mark had yet to address the message his illustrator friend sent the other day, the one inquiring about a photo he found online. It was one of the photos people took of Lara while she was following him to the university campus. If he had mistaken her for a cosplay then all it would take is a single look up close to understand the whole story.

"Hey, focus." Ramsay snapped his fingers. "You're keeping the details about your System a secret, remember? You need to make sure that part is clear."
