Irene
Name: Irene Dela Fernandez.
Remember your name, Irene. Remember what you need to do. Remember every scene, everything you did to get this far.
Remember the sacrifices made to reach this far.
Remember your promise.
Died on: ...2019
This isn't the first time you did this, but it will never stop being your first time.
Never reveal to others about the information. They won't understand. They will never understand.
You've done this...so many times now...
So many times.
That you stopped counting.
And for a good reason. To stop feeling. To stop destroying yourself. To be sane.
Cause of death: Gunshot to the head.
And this time you will succeed.
You won't have to go back anymore.
You've gained enough information to finally be rid of this...cursed nightmare.
One last ride. And you're free.
Reincarnation: Filipino
Just succeed in this task, Irene, and then you will finally be free.
Then you will no longer have to kill.
Number of Kills: . . .
You will no longer have to watch people die. You will no longer have to run away from death. You will no longer have to face death.
557
You will no longer see those numbers increasing death after death. No longer have to worry.
This is a mission for the fate of your country.
You aren't allowed to run away. You aren't allowed to reject this mission. Remember, succeed, and you'll be free.
Succeed.
Failure is not an option. If you succeed, the world is saved.
Are we clear on that?
"Yea, crystal." I muttered as the words before me dimmed into the darkness. The clothes on my back, the blood on my hands, and the markings on my body vanished into the air. The floor beneath me also disappeared and what was left was the darkness.
And the last five words.
Are we clear on that?
No, fucking not. I didn't have a choice for this. I wasn't even told about this. And even if I was told, I would have never been prepared for this.
Not in a country like mine.
How the hell does someone like me save the world? How?
These angered thoughts rushed through my mind and the pained tears flittered up to the air. I was falling into the dark abyss as the lights of world around me dimmed into nothingness. The lights of what had been my reality, but now just some nightmare to suffer through again.
My hands that were inch by inch becoming one with the darkness reached out to the fragment of light and a whisper so quiet emitted.
"If there is a God out there, please let me forget everything."
Her face appeared in my mind, but I felt more uneasy the times we met again.
And again.
Again.
Even her...Let me forget she existed. Her face, her smile, her cold fingers. Let me forget everything about her.
Let me finally die.
That slim chance of hope died away with the light as the darkness enveloped me into its embrace. And I knew it was time for the reboot. Where I remembered everything to 'save the world'.
And the feeling of apathy and blankness filled me up again. When you've seen too much and done too much, having empathy would only make you go insane.

Ah, I forgot to save to an earlier date. 3 years before, huh? Well, its enough time to do stuff. It'd better earlier, but I can't keep complaining now can I?
"Confirm."
Please say the words: Activate reboot.
I stared at the words, not with uncertainty like many times before, but with blankness. Reboot. As if I was but a machine to repeat actions whenever a mistake had occurred.
"Activate reboot." The words slipped through my mouth in bitter resentment.
Are you sure?
"Yes." I would have hissed it out before with so much hatred and spite, but now it came out blunt and sharp.
Reboot activated.
Sending hero character I R E N E into saved area.
Activating rare skill D-R-V. Skill will activate when hero character is asleep. Effects of use are oblivion.
"Wait, what's oblivion?"
Ready, hero character 01?
I clicked my tongue at its answer to my question. What did I hope for anyways? It wasn't like this hadn't been done before. Still...
Another skill, huh? Hopefully, another good skill to use. With a breath of 'yes', the darkness flashed away as a scene before me began to play out.
August 22, 2019
Character in play: Mr. XXXX XXXX from XXX Company.
My brow raised seeing and hearing the words. "Name."
Oblivion prevents hero character to see levels, character names, and skills. Oblivion erases all memories of hero character regarding MISSION APOCALYPSE.
My eyes widened. The fear, the adrenaline, the terrifying revelation that something had gone completely wrong overwhelmed me. Just like the first time I got here.
No. no. no. no. no!!! I've gone through so much for the information! I can't do this without the-
"Wait, stop! This is-!!!" The words dulled out and the familiar feeling of being pulled out of the darkness spiked from within. Millions of hands grabbed me and dragged me deep into the darkness before a familiar scene of a road appeared before me.
Memories were taken away one by one.
My family. My friends.
The Apocalypse.
August 22, 2019.
They were all locked away, leaving only what was necessary.
Scene playing now.
Hero Character 01 in Dream Mode.
I passed through the calendar of my phone and saw the date. I didn't mean to really check- I don't check the date that much, after all. I could not care less about the date so it felt bizarre when I did so, only the time. It was already late: 8 in the evening.
All hero characters of Scenario Escape have been successfully rebooted.
