Wataru continued to immerse himself deeply in Megami Tensei, completely losing track of time as the hours melted away unnoticed. His bedroom gradually grew dim, the warm hues of afternoon sunlight softly giving way to the gentle purple tones of twilight, yet he remained oblivious, completely absorbed by the game's darkly captivating universe.
After methodically recruiting an impressive array of intriguing demons and painstakingly navigating the labyrinth's winding and maze-like corridors, Wataru finally encountered his first significant challenge—a formidable boss named Orthrus, a fierce two-headed beast wreathed entirely in searing flames. His carefully selected party consisted of Nakajima, Yumiko, Manticore, Cerberus , Unicorn and Jack Frost, a recently recruited demon whose playful and mischievous nature amusingly contrasted with his powerful icy abilities.
"Alright, let's see what you've got," Wataru whispered, leaning forward eagerly, his eyes glinting with anticipation as the battle commenced.
The confrontation with Orthrus proved extremely intense, as the ferocious creature immediately launched devastating fiery attacks that swiftly began depleting his party's health bars. Yumiko swiftly reacted by casting protective enchantments, forming barriers that softened Orthrus's merciless blows, while Manticore tirelessly provided crucial healing to keep the team standing. Jack Frost was a key asset in the battle, cleverly exploiting Orthrus's vulnerability to ice attacks, landing several critical hits with chilling precision., and Cerberus using physical attack skills to attack Orthus and Unicorn are buffing the party with his buff skills. Through careful timing and meticulous resource management, Wataru orchestrated a brilliant strategy that slowly wore Orthrus down. At last, the formidable beast dissolved into pixelated flames, signaling a triumphant victory.
"Yes! That was exhilarating!" Wataru exclaimed enthusiastically, his fist raised victoriously into the air. Energized by the satisfying victory music, he eagerly proceeded further into the shadowy labyrinth, emboldened by newfound confidence and brimming with insatiable curiosity.
As he progressed deeper, Wataru encountered increasingly elaborate puzzles and cleverly designed traps, each demanding meticulous thought and patience. He diligently mapped every level on sheets of notebook paper, marking down important landmarks, hidden passageways, and powerful demon locations. Negotiations with demons became more nuanced, requiring imaginative thinking and careful consideration of each demon's distinct personality traits and desires. One particularly memorable interaction involved a proud and demanding demon named Cait Sith, whose cooperation required a careful and patient negotiation involving the gifting of several rare and valuable items.
"You're one demanding little guy," Wataru muttered, amused yet slightly exasperated, carefully selecting rare items to appease Cait Sith's whims. Eventually, after meeting the demon's high standards, Cait Sith grudgingly agreed to become part of Wataru's team, bringing valuable agility buffs that would significantly enhance his party's effectiveness in future battles.
Wataru's roster of demons steadily grew, unlocking exciting and diverse fusion possibilities. Completely captivated by the intricacies of the fusion mechanic, he regularly visited Jakyou Manor, eagerly experimenting with various demon combinations. The game's manual became an essential companion, revealing numerous strategic insights into creating powerful fusion results. His careful experimentation yielded a particularly impressive fusion between Jack Frost and Cait Sith, resulting in the emergence of a formidable demon named Nekomata. Her extraordinary agility and potent offensive capabilities immediately amplified his party's combat strength, further increasing his enthusiasm for experimentation.
As Wataru ventured even deeper into the labyrinth, a surprising prompt suddenly appeared: "A mysterious presence is nearby!" Intrigued and cautious, he slowly advanced, curiosity piqued. To his astonishment, the presence revealed itself to be none other than Zabo-man, manifested in demonic form Wearing long black coat with Gray helmet that have shining blue eyes inside it and also he wielding a Sword. Immediately recalling the cryptic message on the Zabo-man card included with the game, Wataru eagerly initiated negotiations.
"I've been waiting for you, human," Zabo-man dramatically intoned through the dialogue box. "If you can pass my rigorous test, I shall pledge myself to your cause!"
Excitedly accepting the challenge, Wataru engaged in a gripping strategic battle specifically designed to test his tactical prowess and decision-making skills. Triumphing in the trial, Wataru smiled in exhilaration as Zabo-man solemnly nodded his approval. "Impressive, indeed. From now on, I shall stand by your side. You're very cool!"
"Very Cool!!" Wataru enthusiastically echoed the iconic Line from Zabo-man, adding Zabo-man to his growing party and feeling genuinely thrilled by this exciting recruitment.
As evening gradually transitioned into deep night, Wataru remained completely engrossed, enthralled by the game's compelling narrative and continually intrigued by its sophisticated gameplay elements. Each new demon encountered brought fresh excitement, while the challenging puzzles and surprising twists in the narrative continually reaffirmed his love for role-playing games and demonstrated the extraordinary depth of Megami Tensei.
Eventually noticing the lateness of the hour, Wataru reluctantly saved his progress, shutting down his ZEPS console with a contented sigh. Stretching to relieve his stiff muscles, he glanced at the clock, startled to realize it was 2:00. He sighs because he needs to go to school tomorrow.
"Damn! I completely lost track of time," he murmured, smiling broadly to himself. As fatigue began to settle over him, Wataru reflected warmly on the thrilling experiences he had enjoyed, eagerly looking forward to the adventures awaiting him tomorrow. Megami Tensei had surpassed all his expectations, once again proving that ZAGE's games consistently delivered unforgettable, captivating gaming experiences."Sigh screw it , let's sleep a bit , and tomorrow I will definitely continue to play this!" with that Wataru goes to slumber and dreams of playing Megami tensei again!
