Unlike action-story games like Kallen Fantasy.
At this time, Fu Hua was playing a simple romance visual novel. Since it was a game from the same company as Kallen Fantasy, it shared the same name, Kallen Story.
However, in contrast, Kallen is still a main character in this game called Kallen Story.
However, as a visual novel, Kallen is surprisingly an unromanceable character, making the game company that made this decision quite unique in the industry.
This is simply the ultimate Kallen fan.
However, according to rumors in the gaming world, if you complete the ninety-ninth playthrough repeatedly and simultaneously unlock all the heroines, all side quests, all other endings, hidden dialogues, hidden items, and clues, the curse that Kallen cannot be romanced will be broken.
On the 100th playthrough after all the conditions have been met, Kallen's ending will be unlocked.
Playing this game a hundred times is practically impossible because it lacks a convenient save/load mechanism; you can only save after completing a single playthrough.
In the next playthrough, if you make even one wrong choice in the main storyline, there's an 80% chance your character will be killed by a hatchet, and your previous save file will be automatically deleted.
There are tens of thousands of different choices, and the correct answer for each choice is hidden within millions of words of text. What's most infuriating is that you only have ten seconds to choose, which almost eliminates the possibility of cheating.
It's a hellish difficulty level that's clearly not designed for a perfect playthrough.
As expected of Lord Otto.
Kallen's ending was actually designed entirely for herself.
After Su Qing'an was hacked to death with a machete for the eighth time in just twenty minutes, he glanced at the blood-red words of death on the screen.
After thinking for a second, Su Qing'an silently handed the controller to Fu Hua.
Then came the fantastical scene of the Lord Immortal flawlessly completing his first playthrough.
"Judging from their past games, the developer of this game is definitely a heartless, selfish, and unreasonable Kallen simp. Their room is probably crammed with Kallen figurines. If it's this company, it's not surprising that they made the levels related to conquering Kallen so strangely difficult."
After successfully answering the questions about the characteristics and size of noble badges in eight different games, Fu Hua adjusted her red-rimmed glasses and earnestly uttered a statement full of flaws.
"But it's impossible for me to admit defeat so easily."
There is no game that cannot be completed. This is a lesson that the girl has learned in her long gaming career. Fu Hua, whose competitive spirit has been ignited by the game's difficulty, is determined to reach the true ending and enjoy the secret garden that Lord Otto has created for her.
Su Qing'an knew that Lord Otto behind the game, wanted to laugh. If she hadn't known beforehand who Fu Hua was talking about, she probably would have thought the girl was just Kallen simp otaku.
What are Anna Saniyat's favorite and least favorite zodiac signs?
The latest game options are exceptionally difficult, seemingly because Fu Hua's accuracy in answering questions is 100%, including main quests, side quests, and hidden missions, thus triggering a special mechanism.
The source of this problem is a hidden storyline that can only be triggered in the 98th playthrough. You must reach the 98th playthrough and then select the incorrect option in this hidden storyline to find out the relevant information.
However, the price was the deletion of all save data; victory was within reach, yet they were forced to fall helplessly.
Otto Apocalypse's perverse sense of humor is quite evident.
However, this method is only effective against the wisdom and willpower of mortals, but the Lord Immortal had already begun searching for a strategy after the game was released.
Her gaming time has reached an unprecedented 1,800 hours, a terrifying amount that would take two and a half months to achieve even if she played continuously for a full day without eating or drinking.
Fu Hua's willpower and patience are unparalleled. This game was released in the summer of 2012, and the Lord Immortal has been playing it ever since has become so accustomed to Otto Apocalypse's petty tricks that he no longer cares.
"Anna Saniyat likes Aquarius and dislikes all other zodiac signs, because she is an extremely narcissistic person, and her zodiac sign is Aquarius."
The girl remained calm and composed; this was a problem that had caused her to fail several times, forcing her to save her game and start over.
But Otto, witness the players' unwavering dedication.
The Lord Immortal declaring he would not admit defeat.
What is Bianka Kaslana's favorite food?
"Char siu rice."
How many stained glass windows in the church that Kallen frequented featured Kallen image?
"Nine pieces." It was such a bizarre Easter egg that even Fu Hua's sharp eyes would have missed on the first try, but after traversing countless archived corpses, this question was nothing more than a fleeting cloud to the girl, vanishing in an instant.
Please point out Kallen's weaknesses.
"Kallen's only flaw is that she has no flaws."
Fu Hua once honestly expressed her opinion but was brutally defeated by reality. Now, she has grasped the psychological activities of Kallen's fantasies.
Kallen has flaws? Impossible.
Even if you do have something to say, it's still your fault if you do.
As a player, one must abide by the game rules, so even with the girl's somewhat rigid personality, she still chose the correct answer in the game.
[Which of the following characters do you think is the most suitable to be Kallen Kaslana's lover?]
[A. The head of the Apocalypse family, who appears as a handsome young man with blond hair and blue eyes]
[B. A strange Miko with ears on her head that look like donkey ears but are actually fox ears]
[C. An ordinary passerby]
At first, Fu Hua chose option B based on her keen intuition. There were quite a few yuri couples at the St. Freya Academy, and with her intuition Fu Hua confidently chose option B, which led to her death.
Fu Hua chose C the second time. For various reasons, she didn't want to choose A, but the answer still mercilessly showed that she answered incorrectly.
This time, Fu Hua successfully eliminated all the wrong options. She expressionlessly chose option A, then indifferently skipped the CG and dialogue to move on to the next option.
"Hahaha, my old friend, you also think Kallen and I are a good match? As expected of my friend, your taste is so excellent and discerning."
For some reason, the image of a blond, blue-eyed man saying such things with amusement was deeply etched into the girl's mind.
Ah, the imagery is so vivid. Go to hell.
Under Su Qing'an's strange gaze, Fu Hua answered the last question single-mindedly within two hours.
Although he knew Hua loved playing games, this level of skill was a bit too much.
Did you memorize millions of words of text, along with all the animations and illustrations?
Fu Hua finally succeeded in completing the special mechanism. She answered all the questions perfectly and jumped directly to the 100th playthrough where she could achieve the Kallen ending.
The Lord Immortal has successfully entered Lord Otto's secret garden.
This is undoubtedly a victory for the players.
What they saw was not a normal walkthrough or strategy.
Instead, it's a fixed cutscene; this is the true ending obtained after exhausting all possible solutions.
[Otto Apocalypse and Kallen Kaslana chose to resign from their positions, married in a rural village, and lived a quiet life.]
It was an ordinary scene: on a sunny day with clear skies, Kallen smiled and used a cloth to wipe the sweat from the blond man's forehead.
[They became no different from ordinary people, like poets who retreated to the mountains. A few years later Otto and Kallen had a daughter Theresa Apocalypse.]
Theresa was a child who inherited Kallen's gentleness and Otto's intelligence. Her blue eyes and white hair were exactly like Kallen's. Since Theresa's birth, Otto Apocalypse had cherished her dearly and doted on her immensely.
The blond man's cheeks were smeared with cream from the white-haired girl's hand, making him look somewhat disheveled compared to his usual elegant appearance. Yet, the man laughed happily with the girl, a gentle and joyful smile.
Kallen, holding a plate, watched the two bickering from behind with a hint of annoyance, but the corners of her lips couldn't help but turn up in a smile.
[In the end, the two grew old together.]
The game ended with a brief cutscene.
The girl took a deep breath in relief; this game was practically an extremely long and demanding exam.
However, the sense of accomplishment from achieving the true ending made Fu Hua feel that it was well worth the price.
She truly deserves the title of "Grinding Master" in the gaming world.
Meanwhile, Su Qing'an, listening to the melody still playing at the end of the CG, was lost in thought and couldn't help but think...
Is this Otto Apocalypse's dream?
Was there ever a moment when he felt that neither the Honkai nor the future of humanity mattered?
He could discard principles and responsibilities as if they were worthless; whether the world was at war or at peace was irrelevant to him.
Even a long lifespan was a burden to him.
For him, dying of old age with Kallen Kaslana would be enough.
Even a man like him can inevitably lose something important.
So he has lived from five hundred years ago to the present, like an empty ghost who has lost everything.
He was a selfish, cold-hearted, and ruthless Lord Bishop.
And what has sustained this man through five hundred years of solitary journey is nothing but that vague and unrealistic delusion.
Resurrect Kallen Kaslana.
As a result, this once somewhat timid boy underwent a complete transformation, as if he had been reborn into the world bathed in the flames of hell.
He abandoned most of his humanity, gained the Void Archive, and also immortality and power.
At the same time, he lost his cowardice and his fear.
And so it was lost, Kallen Kaslana.
Then the boy who once simply loved watching the white-haired girl smile has become the current Lord Bishop, who has ruled the world for five hundred years and stands above all sovereign nations.
Otto Apocalypse.
Was this outcome caused by the Honkai or by humanity?
