— Yoo! He's a freaking Prince!
— Officer Breeze is a Prince!
— Goddamn, I didn't know the story development would lead us to this.
— Look at him running! He's as fast as Breeze. No, he's even faster! Could his body be enhanced?
— Ah, he managed to get out before the main server exploded
[LovelyOtter has donated 1,000 diamonds!]
[Congratulations! You have finished another game!]
[officerLove has donated 300 diamonds!]
[MommyBig has donated 250 diamonds!]
[It ends... So sad... Mommy wanna cry.]
"So they just self-destruct?" Max commented as he saw the credit scene start. "It ends just like this?"
Officer could be seen walking toward his half-destroyed allies in tatters as the metal tortoise exploded in the background. Mohawk protected him and brought him away from the battlefield to get medical care.
Various forces celebrated the victory when the night arrived. They held a large party. All preserved meat was taken out. Alcohol was distributed. It was humanity's victory!
They did celebrate it. Max, however...
"This feels empty. If only this game lasted much longer and introduced the character better, it would become a good game. The story should be able to branch a lot. A shame it needs to end like this."
He wasn't satisfied.
The possibility of this game being on par with Knight's Journey was there. Unfortunately, the story was too rushed. Too many things were skipped. Like Officer's relationship with people on Earth and what made him dream of being free. His past was still unclear besides the fact he was a Prince of space.
— Indeed
— I heard the investor pulled up at the last minute when this game was developed, so they need to make it smaller
— There was a problem with the development that caused this. Still, it's a good game and they made profit
— It's not confirmed yet, but apparently, this game will get a remake in 2047, that's in 2 years.
— I hope Eva will get more appearance. Please! I am a sucker for a dangerous AI like her!

At least this game was able to be distributed and published by Biozone Entertainment. That might be the factor that saved this game from being a flop.
More importantly...
"I finished the game, huh? How long was it? Only around 2 hours? Pretty fast, isn't it?"
Following that, many travel videos appeared on her feed. From a normal scenic video to a transitional one where a person walked through different places. It was wonderful. Inspiration did come when the person in the video met her fated one, and in the end, they hugged.
"So cute." A small smile appeared on her face as she moved to the next video.
The scrolling became faster and faster. She had forgotten her purpose and was absorbed into watching short videos.
They were like alcohol. Consumed slightly, one might feel good. But if one wasn't careful enough, they could get absorbed and couldn't leave their claws.
After 30 minutes, Lily couldn't feel it, so she stumbled upon one video. It was a video about a couple. A girl and a boy were in pajamas, and the girl urged the boy to get changed. She put on a blindfold on him and danced around in a playful manner, accompanied by an upbeat song.
The boy seemed to be bothered by that. But after a few seconds, their clothes changed and the boy seemed to enjoy it. They proceeded to dance and play together.
Watching the video, Lily unconsciously muttered her inner desire.
"I want to do this with Max."
When she realized it, the words were thrown out, and she messaged him with a prepared excuse. Her heart was beating hard. She knew he was still streaming, but she couldn't stay still.
Whether it was fortunate or not, Max didn't stream for long today.
'He must've seen the message.' She thought as she hugged Momo, her bunny plushie. 'I wonder if he wants to make it with me? I said it's to get inspiration for the lyrics, but it's actually not for that. I just... want to be with him in a video.'
Lily was troubled and nervous. A few minutes after the stream ended, the reply came from her beloved Max.
He didn't seem to believe her invitation, so she convinced him. She hoped it was enough. And it did.
[Breeze: Alright, then. How about we meet in the park tomorrow morning?]
She was happy. He accepted her invitation.
Momo was thrown to the side and Lily rose to a sitting position. Now, the plushie wasn't her priority anymore.
Park? There would be too many people there. She was too embarrassed to make the video there.
Then where? Max's apartment? No, that would be too... bold. She wasn't ready to visit him yet. Not after they affirmed each other's feelings. Besides, the recording equipment in his apartment was a bit lacking.
The aesthetic sense was also not up to Lily's standard.
The VR world was a possibility. However, Lily wanted to meet him directly. The effect? She could hire an editor to work on the video. Money was something trivial for her.
'There is no other way.'
[Lily: No. Let's meet in my home. We will record it here.]
Her face turned crimson red after she read what she typed once again. She gulped nervously and pressed send with a trembling finger.
'Un, it's just because I have a lot of clothes. My brother have many unused ones too. It will be too troublesome to move them around. So, recording it here is the best choice!'
That was the excuse she would go with if he asked why.
'It's perfect!' She nodded excitedly and giggled softly.
