HACKED 76

Rewinding time slightly, to just after the alarm for the intruder alert system rang. I was thinking about the concept of “Dimensional Merging” itself.

As a player of <No Lifer>, I cannot even begin to evaluate whether this Dimensional Merging content is good or not. Why? Because it’s content that should never have been included in the first place, and content that couldn’t have been included.

In a game where the main point is pulling and raising characters, a sudden real-time fight to the death with an opponent I didn’t even choose? A spicy, no-take-backsies account-deletion bet where the loser doesn’t just become a dog, but everyone pays for their sins with their lives? The very premise is rotten.

It’s not like there are zero games where a fight to the death is the content. Representative examples include RTS or AOS games. For the former, think of StXcraft; for the latter, LeXgue of Legends is typical.

However, in those games, units are merely parts that can be churned out infinitely as long as you have resources, or even if they die in one battle, they are resurrected in the next. This means the model is completely different from <No Lifer>, where you have to cherish each individual character and raise them well so they don’t die.

If, by some miracle, a system like this had been updated in a real-life mobile gacha game… provided the developers hadn’t collectively lost their minds, that would never happen, but let’s assume it did.

The user community would go absolutely ballistic, like a dried squid placed on a gas burner. I can clearly see the vista of the message boards turned into a sea of fire.

Title: Honestly, shouldn’t we run from this trash game right now?

Body: This pay-to-win No-Saeng who peacefully sold his organs to buy currency today went in with a fluttering heart because I heard there was new update content, desu.

But Merging???

Merging????

Shi-hi-hi-hi-it.

No matter how many times I read the explanation, I couldn’t understand it, so I rubbed my eyes a million times and looked again.

What is this, some blind date app? lol I have to get ♡Heart-pounding Randomly Matched♡ with an opponent I don’t even know and fight like crazy?

And the loser loses all their Incarnations and gets kicked out?

If I lose, my entire fortune is forcibly absorbed by the winner and I get NTR-forced-reeducation-male-corruption-entrance-merge?

If there’s a fifty-fifty chance that my entire raised Pantheon gets snapped away like Thanos’s finger snap, would you guys keep playing this trash game??

lollollol

lollollollollollol

This is…. a game?

Run for a refund even now.

Escaping No-Life is in order of intelligence.

— A pro-tip gets an upvote.

— Oh, writer-No-Saeng! I’m really sorry? but… I think you chose the wrong? board? to write on! The bastards who haven’t quit yet and are lurking in the Lounge don’t have the intelligence? to understand what you’re saying! ㅜㅜ

└ Yeah, the ones with brain cells all quit long ago.

— No suckers still dumping money into a poop-game like this, right? lol

Title: Is this content? It’s an account-deletion bet.

Body: I really want to find the bastard who made Dimensional Merging or Dimensional Shitting-The-Bed and crack his head open.

I mean, fu1ck, does it make sense to force a match without user consent?

I just like playing around in my Pantheon, changing my Incarnations’ clothes and doing affinity-building, but suddenly the warning alarm goes beep-beep and it’s like, “Your house has merged with some cra1zy guy’s house! Survive!” This bul1lshit.

Why do I have to spend my money and my time to fight for my life against an opponent I don’t even want? They say the loser gets their entire Pantheon taken away? Is this a game or “Stop right there, are you dealing from the bottom of the deck?”

And the matching is so sh1tty, I just met a bastard in the top 100 rankings.

As soon as it started, two 5-stars flew in and blew up my home base in one minute. All my kids I raised for months got ground up into fragments of narrative or whatever and I couldn’t do anything.

Boundary Laboratory ba1stards, is this right? Did you think this would be fun?

You’re doing this to make all the users quit, right? At a time when public sentiment has hit rock bottom, you want to just slap down a service termination notice and exit with all the money you’ve sweetly sucked up until now? Ugh, fu1ck, it’s so god1damn sh1tty I can’t do this anymore.

Remaining fortune? Just 200 free stones I got from an event before.

Deleting my account and killing myself, bye.

Comments:

— If you’re gonna kill yourself, give me those 200 stones first.

└ Personality is trashed, wow.

— The 𝓑𝓲𝓰 𝓟𝓲𝓬𝓽𝓾𝓻𝓮 of the Gyeong-Yeon bastards telling us to quit if we’re annoyed.

└ But seriously, if you’re annoyed, can’t you just quit? Don’t you know “Join loudly, leave quietly”? Your tongue is so long, it’s like someone’s holding a knife to your throat forcing you to play No-Life.

└ For real lol “Who’s holding a knife?”

— I understand the writer’s feelings… I also lost my whole account that I raised for 2 years yesterday. I just had a “reality-hit” and stood there blankly. Since it was insta-deleted before I could even try anything, I wasn’t even angry.

— Dimensional Merging <<<< Isn’t this just legal PvP made to let them weed out the newbies?

└ Incarnation Shredder.

└ Ant-shaking.

└ Wall of Lamentation.

└ Murder permitted by the state.

— Instead of making this shi1t, fix the bugs and update the main story, you sons of bi1tches!!!!

— lol It’s not fun because you lost, but I’m having a blast??? I just snatched a newbie bastard’s whole Pantheon and the resources were sweet? There were a few pretty Incarnations, so I humiliated and played with them until the end before killing them. Belch.

└ Pretty Incarnations??? Jealous wow Female characters?

└ “Naturally, they are male.”

└ That actually makes it hotter? I came..

└ You’re really gloating on a post where someone lost everything;; Your manners are sh1t.

└ (Writer) ????? Are you the bastard I was matched with earlier?? English nickname starting with ‘d’???

└ Yeah, that’s right? lollol You’re that newbie from before? Lollol

└ (Writer) You fu1cking Fabley-dead god1damn son of a bi1tch, do you know how I raised that account because of you fu1ck, seriously fu1ck bring my Incarnations back to life…. You’re not even human, you devilish ba1stard fu1ck….. I’ll kill you, I’ll definitely find you and kill you.

— I thought it was tense and fun. ahahahThe “game-non-knowers” are whining again.

└ Welcome, part-time shill~

└ Tip of the day: Boundary Laboratory is a tiny “Good-Job-So” indie developer, so they can’t afford to hire comment shills

└ Sorry to interrupt. Our Gyeong-Yeon-i is absolutely not world-class.

└ You probably just had good matching luck, you “cool-pose” loser.

Title: I’m just an idi1ot for stubbornly playing since the launch.

Body: I wonder what I’ve been doing all this time…. With this amount of spending, I could have bought hundreds of full-price games on Stem and gone to Harulala.

What’s the point of pouring money in to pull a 5-star Incarnation with sh1tty odds? It’s just pie in the sky that a newbie can’t even raise.

I don’t know if they ate the balance with the seaweed soup their dad made, but even at the same rarity, the stat difference between Incarnations is like heaven and earth.

And the users are ffffffu1✈cking idi1ots too.

I’ve seen companies with bad departmental silos in my life, but I’ve never seen a game with such extreme silos between users lollol

They even put mosaics over screenshots of their own Pantheons because of “strategy leaks,” and important info is only shared via DMs between people with similar specs lol Yes, yes, look at the great strategists we have here.

And the guides lol what’s so great about them that they hide them so tightly just to keep them for themselves?

Aside from a few named users who steadily write guides in public posts, it’s a total wipeout (these people should just be implemented as Incarnations as the Four Great Saints; they are the Teacher Sullivan and Mother Teresa of this era).

I’m asking because I can’t find it, and they bark at me to go review past posts before asking questions, truly legendary bitterness.

Is there still a “sh1tty old-fart” community where newbies are told to shut up and just lurk for three months??? Yep, that’s the No-Saeng Lounge.

The Boundary Laboratory bastards talk a big game about communication, but looking at what they do, they just see users as pigs and dogs.

Even if you write on the customer service board, they ignore it all lol

Even with management like this, the losers caught in the “cool-disease” just write posts sucking up to the “Goat-Gye-Bit-Gu-So” sisters and brothers saying they’re so cool lol

Anyway, the No-Saeng scene is sh1t.

It’s become a terrible hybrid with “light-tasters” + performance-obsessives/gloaters + loser history-nerds + bastards who will die if they don’t ship Incarnations + “dreamers” who crawled up from hell all flowing in.

Muramasa Great Battle, this bul1lshit, I should have stepped out when the “nationalist party” started and the atmosphere turned weird lol My life, holding onto this until now, is legendary.

I’ve played games for a long time and dug into various things heavily, and I’ve been a named raid leader and hit rank 1 on the other side, but I’ve never seen a game as sh1tty as this lol I hope you all escape No-Life quickly too ^^

Comments:

— One-line summary of the body: Everyone else has 5-star Incarnations!!!!! Why won’t they come to me!!!! Why can’t I get them!!! Me, a Compiler who owns a top-tier Pantheon in Asia and speaks 4 languages and 5 computer languages!!!!!!

└ (Writer) When did I say I didn’t have any? I have a lot of 5-stars; I’m saying it’s annoying when I spend money to pull a 5-star and the stats are meh.

— Who is the named user who writes guides in public posts? Even if I go to the guide board, I can’t really see them because they’re buried under question posts and chatter.

└ (Writer) Sort by recommendations or search for the author ‘UserMyeong808’ and read all the posts that come up. For a newbie introduction, this person’s posts are the best.

. Though posts haven’t been going up lately, just looking at the old ones helps a lot.

└ Thanks, thanks.

└ (Writer) No, but you’re funny too;; Asking for a guide on a post saying I’m quitting the game;;

Just imagining it makes it feel like my brain is melting from negative dopamine.

So anyway, the conclusion is. The hypothesis that “while I quit the game after being hacked, new content called Dimensional Merging was updated in <No Lifer>” is most likely wrong.

Then this Dimensional Merging… it’s correct to see it as “an element that doesn’t exist in the game <No Lifer> but exists in this world.”

Yes. I’ve decided to admit it now. This world is similar to the mobile gacha game <No Lifer> I used to play, but it is different.
