Part 3-The End of the What?

The heroes traversed through the dungeon, going down all 99 floors of it.. At B99, came the TRUE final boss.. Basically, the guardian of that artifact. Predictably, the heroes won, and collected the artifact.

And so, another cutscene. With the power of this artifact, the world of Magiland become prosperous. The hero, even becoming co-ruler! So, a coronation happens.. And, roll credits. Again.

Soon after, like before, the world appeared to turn into a void... But the game wasn’t turned off this time.

???:Well, we meet again. This is it. We’ve reached the end..

“The Amazing”:Yeah, what end? ...Wait, what does that mean for us?

???:It means you learn our true selves. You wished to know how you managed to know these things, if you only first came into existence when you gave yourself a name.. How you fully understood the mechanics, and didn’t, say, act like a zombie.. Well, you see.. You could say that the two of us, are one and the same.. And yet not the same at the same time.

“The Amazing”:You mean, like two that is one?

???:...Not exactly. You haven’t figured it out yet? Look. Every game needs a player.. Without one, there is no game..

“The Amazing”:Which is.. me, right?

???:So close, and yet so far away.. You are the one with the abilities of a player, yes.. You are the hero of the story.. But.. Think about it. This is a game, right? How can you be the player if your origin is inside the game? It just doesn’t work.

“The Amazing”:...What is it you’re trying to say?
