Synopsis

The chapter opens with a new 'Main Scenario' being presented: a survival challenge with escalating monster difficulty every four hours, where failure means death, and has additional clear conditions tied to Incarnation deaths and hints revealed periodically. The antagonist, Nirvana, is confronted in Yoo Joonghyuk's consciousness, revealing his desire for secondhand satisfaction by causing suffering. He claims he's seeking to become one with Yoo Joonghyuk and erase his existence. Nirvana also taunts the protagonist with a fabricated memory of his mother, triggering an emotional response, before Yoo Joonghyuk's own consciousness takes hold.
