Carpilo: The Last Boss of Defeat
In the darkness of a poorly lit alley, among garbage bags and unfulfilled promises, Carpilo meets a man in a suit and sunglasses—the typical mysterious NPC who appears when the main plot is about to unfold. But here, there is no epic soundtrack or cinematic cutscene. Just the smell of alcohol and failure.

Side Quest: The Temptation of a New Game
🕴️ The man, with the coldness of someone who has condemned souls before, offers Carpilo a chance to respawn.
🎮 "Do you want to get back to the top?"—he says, with a voice that could very well be a Russian AI trained to detect desperate people.
💰 "The gaming empire can be yours again," he insists, as if Carpilo still has something to lose.
For a moment, the former tycoon feels the temptation to press 'Accept Mission'. But then, a fatal déjà vu runs through his mind—the same speech, the same promises, the same guaranteed ruin.

😵 Carpilo doesn't answer. He just grabs his worn-out blanket, which is now his legendary outfit in survival mode, and his bottle of vodka, the only faithful companion in this saga.
🖕 With a contempt worthy of someone who has been betrayed by many defective patches, he spits on the ground. Not out of rebellion, but because his stomach can no longer handle his own life.
🌑 Without looking back, he disappears into the darkness of the city, not as a hero, nor as a villain, but as a 404 error of existence.

Moral of the Story: Not Every Game Has a Happy Ending
📉 Alternate Ending Unlocked: The protagonist refuses to return to the game, preferring real misery to the nightmare mode that fate insists on offering. 💀 Lesson Learned: Sometimes the real happy ending is simply not falling into the same trap twice.

And so, Carpilo becomes the first ex-billionaire to activate the 'game over by choice' mode.
