Optimism

The story begins with Mark’s brutal struggle against nightmare entities like The Shredder and The Janitor. He finds himself forced to rescue two coworkers, Sarah and David—not out of empathy, but because the System threatens to process the entire team into "Hell-Fuel" for a thousand years should even one member forfeit. The tension reaches a breaking point with the arrival of The Auditor, a mysterious entity conducting "life audits," who coerces Mark into signing a "Permanent Overtime" contract. Mark soon realizes that this system is no mere game; it is a galactic harvesting operation designed to farm human suffering. As the narrative unfolds, Mark descends an infinite spiral staircase, facing elite monsters that manifest as the physical incarnations of corporate sins. He begins to manipulate legal loopholes within the System to empower his team, forging Sarah into a lethal logistics expert and David into a bloody legal guardian. Mark continues to endure harrowing physical tolls—repeatedly broken bones and failing organs become his daily routine as he trades his vitality for overpriced, instant-healing points. The climax occurs when Mark reaches the "Galactic Headquarters" to confront the System’s CEO. There, he uncovers the bitter truth: Earth is merely one of thousands of subsidiaries currently being "liquidated." In a final act fueled by dark comedy and visceral action, Mark does not choose to be the hero who destroys the machine. Instead, he orchestrates a hostile takeover. Sacrificing his humanity to become the new Administrator, he liberates mankind from their life-debts—only to find himself eternally bound as the "Servant of Hell," maintaining the balance of a shattered new world. Mark wins, but his shift never ends.

Notice: This will be a long, long story, so it will be a slow burn for at least the first two arcs. But if you are interested in a long, wide-ranging story, I hope you will read. Notice 2: I will be fixing the grammar of the chapter within my story, around 5 per day, starting from 25/05/2025. I have heard the grammar in the earlier chapter has been an issue for many, and admittedly, I have always sucked at that aspect, which I have gotten a lot better at over the years, so I will be redoing that. Logs and other special chapters are not included in this five-chapter count. Notice 3: All corrections are done.
