[Congratulations, you have completed the game, Aseria Online.]
The words appeared on the middle monitor among the three.
Sitting in a gaming chair in front of the monitor was a black-haired and black-eyed young man with a fairly handsome face.
Looking at the words in the mirror, a sense of satisfaction flashed through his eyes.
'Finally, I completed this game.'
Aseria Online is a freshly released RPG game that is currently going popular and is also being called one of the best because of its unique game elements and realistic graphics.
Its plot was that of Hero vs. Demon King, though if it was only that, it would not have become famous, let alone one of the best.
"Haaaaa. Let's take a break."
With a yawn, the young man lazily said as he moved towards his bed in the other corner.
His room was fairly large with gaming setups and neon lights on one end, while the other end seemed to be completely untouched by gaming things.
The young man being a professional gamer could be figured out.
The other end had a small bed, which would be plenty for one person but small for two, with a clock, a small study desk, a mirror, a plain white bulb illuminating warm light, and some other things.
The young man quickly and swiftly arrived next to the bed as he threw himself on the bed, letting his sore and tense body relax after some time.
Soon, he drifted into what one would call sleep.

[Congratulations, you have completed the game, Aseria Online.]
[Method Used: 2nd.]
There are many methods or ways to complete a game, each achieving different endings.
Looking at the additional text different from the last time, the black-haired young man didn't have noticeable changes.
Gulp.
He gulped water from the blue bottle in his hand and placed it down before looking at the monitor again.
"I knew there would be others not far to complete the game."
He spoke in a confident tone before his tone turned doubtful.
"But how many?"

[Congratulations, you are the first to achieve the Perfect Ending in the game, Aseria Online.]
"Haha."
A short laugh escaped the young man's mouth as a true sense of accomplishment flashed through him.
More than a week had passed since he completed the game for the first time.
And using the 7th method, a combination of all methods and more, he was able to achieve the so-called Perfect Ending.
Dang-!!
It was then that the blue bottle he temporarily kept on the desk fell down while he was retracting his hand.
But thankfully, there was no water in it.
The young man leisurely picked up the bottle before placing it properly.
He sat comfortably in the chair with a slight stretch.
"Haaaaaa."
His hand on his mouth, he had a big yawn.
It was then that the words on the middle monitor changed.
[Would you like to play The Game?]
[Yes.]
[No.]
"Hmmm?"
Surprised, his left eyebrow arched.
"Is this something new?"
Clearly, he had no idea what was happening.
But in the end, he grabbed the mouse and pressed.
"Yes."
'I mean, what can even happen? A virus at worst.'
These were his thoughts as he didn't even take the words seriously, but only later did he realize the effects of what he just did.
I rested in the chair as suddenly laziness enveloped my body. My mind became dizzy as my thoughts became slightly disarranged.
Immediately, his vision blurred as his head became light and dizzy.
"Hmm? What's happening?"
The young man didn't notice that his voice was smaller than a mosquito.
The weight in his eyes increased by a hundredfold as he had no choice but to close his eyes, not knowing when and where he would open them.
