"On the outskirts, runny and inattentive crowds of cities, between masses of humans, undying and cruel apartments of thousands of loaf-minded humans. Existing to fulfill what they only had based on their cruel destiny, not consumed by the madness of the untold one, the crawling chaos, Cthulhu." says a male voice, as his musty, skinny arm pushes through loads and loads of energy cans left there to rot.
...
'Just How many times do I have to read this shit?' He rubs his eyes slowly and observes his computer screen, revealing a pair of brown eyes followed by bags of insomnia, unhygienic nails, also very malnourished.
He straightens humped back and forwards his spine, as he swoops his mouse in order to play a game.
[Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn] says a creature just above a text named 'Cuthulu: The madness. Which roughly translates to;
[That is not dead which can eternal lie, And with strange aeons, even death may die.]
The boy smirks, 'What the hell is this tentacle-like bastard saying?'
He right-clicks on his mouse smugly, 'I am so fucking tired of these words. This time, I will bring death to you, the one who cannot die. Me! Leon Kaiser!'
He clicks on a character, supposedly blond hair, welding a sword on a sunken, destroyed city of a bottomless eerie ocean. Then immediately, he clicks on the bottom right of the computer, a symbol of the bag written, 'Inventory.'
[Are you sure you want to use the "Flask of the 31st piece?"]
'Fuck Yeah!' Leon seems to be very excited.
[The effect of the "Flask of the 31st piece" would be implied.]
He quickly confirms his selection before moving on to another item from his seemingly endless inventory of items and artifacts.
[Are you sure you want to use the 'Call of Cthulhu' on Cthulhu?]
[...]
[Please be warned! The madness range of this artifact will kill all your high-level Characters.]
Leon smirks and clicks on the right button immediately.
[The amount of damage has been calculated to be "Unidentified."]
[...]
[The Cthulhu has slumbered amidst battle for 1 hour 45 minutes.]
Leon hysterically laughs, 'How do you feel about this, huh? Developers, didn't you announce that Cthulhu is unbeatable and is according to the gag?'
Leon continues to laugh while his seven characters are continuously attacking the God of madness.
After a few minutes,
'To be honest, I don't even feel good about beating this decade-old nonsense gag ARPG game, the only player is me. The second one was my other account.' Leon rubs the sweat on his forehead as he continuously stares at the screen.
'Eldritch whispers, the game made by an anonymous group.'
'The game was popular at one point but it got demolished after its hard gameplay, picky characters, and longer unskippable cutscenes which unironically lasted 2 hours at one point.' Leon scratches his balls and again touches the keyboard and mouse to continue his attack.
[Using the 9-star asteroid fall.]
[...]
[-24799 damages have been given.]
'This game, I played all the time, from when they almost beat me to death, when my sister went to prison, after that gruesome incident. It's always been with me, so I need to beat it.' Leon's heartbeat is slowly increasing.
Leon suddenly bashes his desk beside him and screams as tears fall on his face, 'Is my life limited to all this? ARGH!
I am going to fucking kill myself after I finish this.'
'I wonder if Sarah and Zel would be able to forgive me.' Leon's eyes get blurry but his hands are automated to constantly attack the Boss.
['Vanessa' The witch of Doom, uses the Ten-star magic ability 'Tears of Azathoth']
[-56999 damage has been given.]
'Those bastards must still bully those two, I wonder if they are okay.' Leon wipes his nose and faces quite softly.
Meanwhile, 5 km away from Leon's shady apartment, is Leon's former school, Shibuya. On the second floor's toilet, near class 2B.
GLUG! GLUG!
A group of students, all untidy laugh while one of the boys is attempting to drown a girl by shoving her face into the toilet water bowl.
PUAH! The boy removes her face as they all laugh at her. She seems to be gasping for air, very hard as she coughs. Bacterial water must have entered through the breathing pipe, her pretty face seems purple, completely covered in bruises.
She extended her red eyes to look for something, her eyes met with a boy with glasses, swollen from physical abuse, which must be from the bullies staying on his four, becoming a chair for a spiky red-haired boy.
The boy pulls the hair of the female, 'Hey~ Sarah, Where is the address of that Hannibal Lecter's brother's address?'
The other bullies laugh at the question but Sarah seems to be very furious.
'What the fuck-- Before She could finish her sentence, the boy tugging her hair, punches her vigorously in almost an inhumane way.
'Tell me that Leon's address. We haven't seen him in more than one year.' The spiky red-haired boy speaks.
'Tell him! Sarah, I just can't take it anymore.' The boy with glasses speaks. Suddenly a nearby standing guy kicks him in the stomach.
The guy barfs in front of everybody, making him unstable and to fall face on the barf. The others get angry and start to beat him.
'Who gave you the permission to talk?'
Sarah screams, 'YOU FUCKING RETARDS, GO TO HELL!'
'Are you okay? Zel.' Sarah asks' while she is also in critical danger.
...
They all laugh at them. One of the boys pulls out his mobile from the back pocket of the glasses boy.
'Don't do this, Nagayama.' Sarah's eyes are almost teary.
'We don't know the address. Just leave us alone.' As Sarah starts to cry, The gang hysterically laughs while Nagayama, the red-spiked-haired boy tries to film Sarah. He stumbles against a screenshot of a news article.
On January 03, 20XX.
Sophia Kaiser, a teenage serial killer, was found to be committing a double homicide inside her own living house. In the broad daylight, She was found walking outside the streets towards the police station with two severed human heads on her hands.
'Heugh! Disgusting bitch!' One of the boys speaks.
The red-haired boy smirks, 'Isn't this the sister of that Leon?' They all suddenly look at the screen.
'Yeah!'
'Fuck! Creepy fucking family.'
'Hey, look at the bottom!' someone points at it.
A creepy smile is all over the face of the gang.
'Isn't this the address of that Leon~?'
...
This is going to be fun-- Before they could finish their words.
The device glows bright and the boy flips the phone to watch what's going on,
AAGH! AAGH!
a black tentacle oozing black liquid sucks everybody into the toilet and the world of 'Eldritch Whispers.'
...
Earlier,
[15 Minutes till The Boss 'Cthulhu' awakens...]
Leon rapidly pounds his keyboard and mouse, rivaling the speed of a professional Osu player. Beads of sweat glisten on his unwashed, greasy skin, evidence of his long gaming session. After a few minutes, Leon is still grinding.
[1 minute till Cthulhu awakens...]
[The characters are completely indulged in MADNESS!]
[The effect of 'Flask of 31st piece' is wearing off in 1 minute.]
[...]
[Cthulhu is extremely weakened.]
His eyes burn with passion, every cell of his body is rushing, and the dopamine rush is rising.
'The unbeatable game is beaten by Doomcraft? KEKEKEKE' A voice suddenly resonates from the computer, making Leon jump from his seat.
'Fuck! Almost gave me a heart attack!' Bel screams as he breathes heavily.
He looks over at the screen, Cthulhu has 0 HP above his head.
[Congratulations!]
[Cthulhu has been defeated for the first time in XX years.]
[User 'Doomcraft' Has achieved an impossible feat.]
[The end of the game has been declared.]
[The seven mythical characters have all been critically injured.]
[Experience points will be determined.]
'Fuck Yeah!' Leon dances as he kicks away the trash cans and bags away from his feet.
'I've cleared this shit game!' as Bel glances against the computer screen, there is no ending cutscene. He looks closer to see a figure with silly clown clothes, laughing as it slaughters the characters of Bel, one by one.
'What the fuck? NO!' He hurriedly catches his keyboard but it is already late. Even after that, Cthulhu wakes up with his half-HP completely recovered.
Leon bashes his hands, completely shattering his mouse. 'Fuck! Just who is this bastard that took my years of progress in one swoop?'
[GAME OVER]
[Restarting all progress, stats, and crafts..]
[Player must provide a new name to continue...]
Leon rises from the chair, his slouched posture, and tired eyes fixed on the screen. He retrieves his laptop and enters his account details and personal information.
"You fucker, you're not escaping!" he mutters.
Leon opens the developer page for the game 'Eldritch Whispers,' his apartment floor strewn with bags, trash, and empty energy cans. Frustrated, he vigorously types out his complaint. Amidst the scattered mouse parts, he notices a message in the bottom right corner of his primary computer.
"What the hell?"
[...]
[The strongest god Cuthulu ]
Leon puts his hands on his face,' Cuthulu?'
[Error Detected..]
[The god of mischief, 'Jester']
Leon wipes the screen of his computer as the text bleeps on his own.
[Good luck, my beholder... KEKEKE!]
'This fucking Jester! Is it a user or god?'
Leon struck back on his chair, 'How is a game's god able to talk to players? Am I hallucinating?' He laughs as he tries to brush it off. As he tries to get up, a gray status appears on his computer.
[Player is required to take a name]
[......]
Leon smirks as he watches his computer, 'how am I supposed to do that when I have no mouse?'
[Understood.]
...
'Does it understand me?' Leon slowly advances toward his main PC, while he throws the laptop to the bed.
[The system would redirect your personal information.]
[...]

Leon is watching but he gets jolted as soon as he sees the class.
He rubs his messy hair, 'No way in hell, I am choosing that character, it got me fucked so many times. I am not going to be stubborn this time.' as he tries to feel his mouse. It isn't there.
[Please confirm character creation...]
'Wait!' Leon jumps out of his chair to find his spare mouse but it isn't there.
[Confirmed automatically... Please enjoy 'Eldritch Whispers'...]
'Oh, my go-- Before Leon could finish his words, tentacles appeared before the screen but it stopped.
Jester's voice again speaks, 'Here's my gift to my loveliest loser, KEKEKEKE!' as Jester's voice disappears, Leon's hand starts to completely shake and suddenly it chokes himself.
On December 03, 20XX, Leon Kaiser Doomcraft entered the world of Eldritch Whispers.
