saves your progress automatically so just relax and collect all the bad endings at your own pace now without further ado let's start the show okay oh i am my mother once told me to do my homework but i did not do it so i got locked in the basement and had no food for about two weeks in a row and i could not escape no matter what i tried to do i pried at the door and tried to pick the lock and screamed for help but no one came for me and everything was getting dark and i was just so tired and i was so cold and the darkness crept through the crack in my door to claim my soul and dragged me kicking and screaming to the underworld i'm a maiden you're a maiden you live in a peaceful village next to speaking doom spooky demon over lord's castle you're told that you were fated to be captured by the overlord one day because you were a beautiful young girl demon overlords apparently love capturing those you think of how you haven't heard of that actually happening to anyone but maybe the demons just haven't been given the opportunity who knows you are in church you pray to your god asking why you have been born into this role of maiden you respect the divine plan and all but you're really just curious as to what the point of it is you're impatient meeting a demon actually sounds pretty gosh darn exciting maybe you'd understand your role better if you were just to hurry up and get captured already you leave a note in venture fourth to find a demon just to you know see what happens not long into your little adventure demon underling appears before you it looks pretty scary i'll introduce myself hi i'm markiplier subscribe to my youtube channel check out this cool flannel on cloakbrain.com you tell the demon your name and explain your maiden from the village the demon suddenly jumps and starts biting a lot how painful this plan of yours was completely stupid you think why couldn't you have been more patient why did you go looking for trouble you aren't angry or anything of course this was all your fault for trusting a demon not to devour you on sight this is your punishment for questioning fate you guess bit by bit you're swallowed by the demon until you are no more consumed maiden all right well i guess that is a bad end but not nearly as dark and dreary as i would have hoped reset [Music] what if i'm not polite doesn't scream at the sight of an underling what if i'm not polite you're a maiden babadi booboo okay shout for a hero to come save you [Music] you yell but a hero does not come the demon suddenly jumps you and starts biting a lot well what if i'm the hero you're the hero you like to think of yourself as a pretty reliable and swell guy your life has been rather ordinary aside from the occasional heroic adventures fighting evil monsters and whatnot you were told a maiden from your village has been kidnapped and is likely being held captive at a nearby demon's overlord's castle who even puts a village right next to where an entire demon hernia hangs out you don't get it you're happy to protect the town's people though you were born to play this role you head off on your adventure to rescue the maiden but demon soldiers block your path you can kill them to game experience [Music] forgetting your pride you escape with your life but you can't return home now your reputation will be ruined you wonder how you'll ever be able to rescue that maiden all the way on your own if you can't even fight some lousy demon underlings you'll take your chances at the castle you're a hero after all this your job after a long trek you make it to the castle's front gates you are faced with an army of demons that all look very intimidating there's no way to sneak past these monsters if you want to reach the overlord i'll ask if they let me in you go up to the near steam and it'll explain why you've come here they stare you down and you feel very uncomfortable but they seem to trust you and escort you directly to the overlord's chambers that was easy the overlord is alone you ask about the maiden but the overlord doesn't seem to know what you're talking about which you ever really hear you wonder what could happen to her the overlord says that she wishes she could help you but you're the first human that has come here in forever at least as she knows you think of how you probably shouldn't trust her seeing as she's a demon and all but you can't really prove she's lying either you apologize for the intrusion and return home to your village the maiden was never found ah well fine i'll murder everything in my path all right let's kill him hi-yah you make quick work of the vile creatures who stood in your way you feel much stronger now after a long trek you make it to the castle's front gates you're faced with an army of demons that's all cut and you gather your courage this is what must be done in order to rescue the maiden these are all evil demons anyway the world is much safer with them gone that's what you tell yourself while you kill one after another on your way to the overlords chambers the overlord appears demanding to know what the hell you're doing murdering all her soldiers you get straight to the point and ask her where the maiden is she feigns ignorance a convincing act but you won't be fooled if the maiden isn't here then what happens to her you can see only one answer the overlord definitely raptured her in fact it's probably she's already been devoured thinking about that poor maiden's fate fills you with hatred you fight the overlord with everything you've got you've become strong from the hordes of demons you took down before this final battle the overlord is almost no match for you you cut it to pieces the overlord has fallen you breathe a sigh of relief but your job is not yet finished you search the castle unfortunately you find no sign of the maiden within the walls it's just as you suspected you must have already been devoured you feel hollow a great evil has been banished from this world but what does that matter if you were too weak to save someone you stand alone admits carnage and ponder what it means to be a hero you return to the overlord's remains and wrap her head in your cape to bring back to the village surely your great victory will be celebrated oh come on she was dumb and i i know what happened to her she didn't get devoured but she was also really dumb anyway what happens if i okay hear me out here what if i flee but then try to cut through ah same thing okay fine fine what if i'm an underling ah you're a demon underling in service of the overlord you aren't particularly strong but not particularly weak either that's what your friends tell you it's your job to guard the castle and keep humans away it's unbearably boring heroes rarely come all the way here to challenge the overlord anyway it's a lot of standing in one place staring at nothing you feel like you're gonna go crazy if you don't get a break you decide to ask your overlord for a day off she gives you an earful about responsibility and unquestioning obedience you wait for her to finish her lecture before returning to your post what does she know about anything who made her the boss of everyone you complained about the overlord to your friends they agree that she is a kind of a snob and totally deserves to be kicked off of their own you only want to defend your frustrations but the conversation somehow turned into an assassination plot you should probably steer this in a responsible direction let's kill her no you're sick of the overlord holding you and your friends back you agree that it's time for a change of management your friends suggest maybe you should be the new overlord you like the sound of that you announce your first act of rebellion is to take that day off you wanted your friends are very impressed you assure them you'll get you'll talk more about the assassination thing when you get back which satisfies them you sneak out at the castle to have some fun the change of atmosphere excites you you spend some time rolling around in the grass wild and free as you make your way along the path to the nearby human village you encounter a maiden she seems very frightened and screams for a hero to save her you consider your options [Music] well i do know how this goes gobble maidens aren't the best meal but you figure you should live up to your demon name and strike back against the humans you start devouring the maiden without so much as a second thought i feel quite proud about that other humans would surely praise you with curses if they were around the sea oh man if only someone could have been watching time to find an audience for evil deeds you wander into the nearby village the people are screaming and running away throwing rocks at you and whatnot you think that's pretty rude of them you haven't even done anything yet put on a show you attack the nearest human he is old and weak and his bones crunch delightfully your audience's screams grow louder applause you think hey this is actually pretty fun i should have taken revenge like this a lot sooner as you continue your bloodthirsty dance striking the villagers down you failed to notice a sword wheeling hero running towards you he takes you out with one swift blow you're just a demon underling after all as you die you think that was totally worth it that's not so bad performer underling but now i'm starting to see what could happen what happens if the underling is not hungry and i play as the maiden okay schwem introduce yourself you tell the demon your name and explain that you're a maiden from the village tell them you're thinking of understanding your role if you were to hurry up and get taken away by a demon the demon doesn't seem to really have been listening which is a little irritating they agree to take you to their master nonetheless after a long walk to the castle you are introduced to the overlord she lectures the underling that brought you here who was apparently told to not leave their post you wonder what cruel punishments awaits them but to your surprise she lets him off easy the underling is dismissed and the overlord turns to you looking very interested you explain why you've come and she squinted you turns out she never had any plans to capture maidens or to do anything else that would agitate the humans you wonder for a moment if she might be lying but it doesn't really seem like it still this doesn't make any sense to you you've always been told that demons would one day seek you out and something awful would happen then a hero would come to your rescue you don't want to believe you've been lied to all along well lexie and read that for me maybe it's just that you haven't been maiden-like enough you asked the overlord what you should do to be let's read this for me you asked the overlord what you should do to be a more suitable maiden but she doesn't seem to understand just go home and stop worrying about destiny so much she makes it sound so simple this overlord seems like the complete opposite of you you want to learn more about her and how she thinks you insist on staying to talk with her more the overlord tells you again that you should get lost how rude you just got here i'm not going to do it you put your foot down and tell her you're not going anywhere you still want to fulfill your destiny even if you have to make it happen on your own she's a little frustrated at your stubbornness but doesn't kick you out or anything hooray the overlord shares many stories about demons with you and little by little you realize they may not be the ruthless monsters you were raised to believe as it turns out she commanded her demons to avoid towns and villages she didn't want to risk giving any humans any excuse to send a hero out after him you realize that must be why you've never heard of a demon attacking your town you express your gratitude to the overlord on behalf of your village she says you can thank her by telling the humans to stop raising heroes she's tired of her servants getting killed off by them you've always thought demons were violent and unreasonable creatures but seems the overlord could say the same of humans you may be different but really they're just trying to live their lives the same as you you feel like you're starting to understand things a lot better now but maybe everything i've said was to deceive you and the other humans what would you do if i turned out to be super evil all along even if she were to capture you now you think this place is far more interesting than the way things are back home you kind of like not being told what to expect humans to come after you oh bless you feel free honestly you've always asked honestly you've always kept to yourself but spending time with this overlord has been very nice you feel butterflies in your stomach as you think that a hero enters the room you're surprised to see him at first till you realize he must have been sent to retrieve you confused the hero asks what's going on you explain the situation reassuring him that you were never in any danger the hero expresses his relief that this whole misunderstanding hadn't led to any horrible consequences you apologize for causing trouble but really didn't anyone read the note you left jeez the hero asks if you'll return to the village with him to give everyone the news of your safety the overlord allows the two of you to leave and you give her a little wave as you exit the room you'll be back soon you're about halfway back to the village when you feel something is off unable to shake your concern you look back over your shoulder you stop in your tracks the castle is engulfed in flames is the overlord all right you can't return to the village like this you have to know you have to be sure everyone is safe you've already taken off before the hero can even think of stopping you you scan the fleeing demons but the overlord isn't among them against your better judgment you rush into the burning castle to find her you quickly reach the overlord's room but the door is shut tight the handle too hot to touch you're too weak to force it open you pound your face against the door helplessly what were you thinking this is all because you'd forgotten your role only a hero could pull this kind of thing off you start to cough smoke is too thick you can hardly breathe you realize you hadn't got much time left you desperately head towards the stairs to save yourself but the fire spread faster than you expected you won't make it outside you can't help but laugh what a joke a maiden saving the overlord if you just stayed true to your role things wouldn't have ended like this this is exactly the kind of punishment you deserve you let the demon fire cleanse your rotten soul [Music] well that took a turn wait a minute that's not the moral of this story hold on hold on what happens if okay yada yada let's not tell your friends about it about life pretty good the others not but don't seem convinced still gonna rebel and sneak out okay so you still sneak out interesting hear her out okay some kind of destiny bottom line overlord disobey everything's cool as long as you always listen to her from now and you're impressed with what an easygoing boss she is you even mention how you can't believe you and your friends even considered overthrowing her she gives you a look and says and you say that was just a joke of course she smiles and dismisses you you decide it's about time for a nap you don't get to sleep long your friends wake you up rude one of them is stepping on you pretty hard you ask them what your deal is they say they're planning a whole revolution they're going to get rid of the current overlord and put a new ruler in place they want to hear if you're in or out and being a pretty lazy underling you of course reply with that sounds like a lot of trouble how about we just skip it instead your friends question your loyalty to the cause uh she said hey she's not so bad friends seem pretty disappointed they apologize to you but before you can ask them what they're sorry about one of them suddenly seizes you someone who's still loyal to the overlord really has no place in our castle you understand right the claws tighten around your neck you don't bother to struggle you're outnumbered you already know how things like this end it's a pretty messed up thing to do to a friend you tell them they slit your throat in response huh well all right then okay so i've seen all these perspectives i really need to see the overlord now you are the overlord you live in a castle surrounded by your demon servants it's a pretty cushy life you think except for those pesky humans who keep killing members of your army there's even a role called hero whose whole purpose in life is just to dethrone you what's their deal anyway you've actively avoided pissing off the humans in hopes they'd leave you and your army alone but they never do you're still new to the whole overlord thing if you're really quite honest with yourself you don't really understand the politics of it but you remind yourself everyone is just doing their best to fulfill their roles you won't let them bait you into being of the evil overlord they expect you think you're pretty cool and mature to hold yourself to a higher standard like that one of your underlings walks into the room totally interrupting your thoughts about how awesome you are they're saying something about how boring it is to stand in one place guarding the castle all the time especially since no one ever comes here anyway you see their point but the way they're whining about it kind of bothers you what to do with this underling what if we grant him the day off you tell them to take a break from the stifling castle atmosphere and refresh their dark soul a day off should be fine every once in a while they thank you and happily scurry off to do who knows what you have nothing better to do so you decide to nap for a little while being the overlord sure is great you awake to a knock at your door the underling from earlier brought back some company it's a maiden from the nearby human village she says her role is to be captured by you the man then goes on to say that she's been getting very impatient thinking about her impending capture so she's come here to speed things along you appreciate her honestly regret to inform her then you never had any plans to capture any humans she seems very disappointed by this perhaps i'm not performing my role well enough how can i become more maiden-like you really don't understand the question you think this world puts way too much focus on destiny and junk just go home and stop worrying about it you tell her the maiden seems to be having a hard time wrapping her head around this she insists that she stay and talk to you more you feel warm inside as she looks into your eyes this is the first time a human has looked at you without contempt you wonder what to say all right fine you can't bring yourself to send this maiden away she just got here you enjoy a nice long chat with her sharing stories about your kind she expresses her surprise that demons are not all that she expected them to be you're glad that she seems to have an open mind about these kind of things you also bring up how you always instruct your army to avoid humans as not to agitate them and get your sent after you that explains why the people in my village have been left unharmed it's because of your orders isn't it we're very grateful you're surprised to hear or thank you you've always thought of humans to be violent and unreasonable that's why your servants are always getting killed despite your efforts to leave them alone but this maiden is different you joke that maybe you've been lying to her this whole time and that you were actually super evil all along the maiden laughs at that saying she wouldn't mind being help capture here the people in her village are a little exhausted at times she says you can't tell if she's into you or not you're interrupted by another human in your doorway this time it's a hero he was apparently searching for the maiden who was bloody we know all this this is all things we know we know all right let's find out what happened i'm assuming it was some kind of overthrow you're certain that she'll return to spend more time with you you just have to trust in that you decide with the heroin maiden gone you plop down into the comfort of your luxurious overlord bed your room feels so empty now is this loneliness you hope your new friend will be back soon you close your eyes for a while until your door slams shut before you know it everything around you is being engulfed by flames what's going on you try to escape but someone's blocking the door you're having trouble forcing an open what is this someone didn't want you getting out are you being usurped they have zero foresight what castle will they rule from if this one burns you don't want to believe that your underlings have betrayed you but there's no accident those are grateful bastards you choke on the thick black smoke from the fire you can't believe you're being done in by a bunch of cowards you'll see them in hell okay well i'm burned i'm burned then okay but we're we're unlocking more and more options here as we go hang on what happens hmm let me see something she's surprised oh right i made her nice i forgot hear her out wait okay you decide they seem to be getting along just fine time for your nap and then this okay let's kill the overlord you tell them you're just joking clarify that you're totally in to win it they say you were always terrible with jokes whether or not you actually feel like killing the overlord you know how bad it'd be to end up on the wrong side of things and if this assassination deal doesn't pan out you can always pretend you were innocent all along but beneath your shield of faux confidence you're worried that you're getting yourself dragged into you follow your friends outside the castle to talk more about the plan you're curious if they have any idea how they want to do this they figure they'd just lock her in a room and set it on fire what a stupid plan that could go wrong in so many ways you realize your friends are just a bunch of directionals less thugs useless without someone's guidance your guidance there'd probably be casualties if you fought her head-on and while showy desks make a revolution a heck of a lot more fun it's probably the wrong way to go your friends agree and suggest that they play the assassin that you played the assassin you really didn't want it to come down to this but you can't back down now you'll have to be the one to assassinate the overlord besides no one has any better ideas you sneak into the overlord's room she's taking a nap like usual this is almost too easy you silently approach your master she looks so peaceful time to die you figure the cleanest way to do this would be to dig your claws into her throat so you do just that she wakes up but not in time to stop you you watch as she chokes on her blood cursing you before finally expiring that felt terrible you remind yourself it was either her or you and you weren't about to let yourself get killed by anyone you leave the room to find your friends just waiting outside they look pleased only now do you realize they mustn't plan to use you like this from the beginning you are the new ruler of this castle your subjects bow before you you live in fear that they will one day betray you as you had betrayed your overlord [Music] interesting so i'm gonna go back to this hold on okay let's kill chicken out you don't want to kill her you can't go through with it you turn to leave the room but you find your friends blocking the exit in a panicked whisper you ask them to let you out this seems to have been their way of testing your loyalty you tell them that this is pretty [ __ ] up and asked to be let out again the overlord stirs in her bed while your head is turned the demon shut the door you scramble into the overlord's closet to hide before she wakes up and sees you that's nothing you could possibly say to explain this and survive you're trembling you can't believe those [ __ ] would bully you like this you feel like crying light flickers at your feet it doesn't take you long to realize they've set the room on fire you hear the overlord trying to get the door open to no avail you're both trapped too afraid to move you resign yourself to your fate you and the overlord burn together fascinating okay so right yeah right we're gonna be maiden we're gonna go into this introduce yourself wait reset okay what happens if wait what happens if i shout for a hero you yell team is put off of your sun shouting uh no that's the same okay okay okay okay so if i change this to dutiful and not diplomatic what happens then here barges into the room his clothes are stained by a dark liquid it's dripping from his weapon too you realize it must be demon blood something horrible has happened confuse the hero ask you what's going on you explain the situation reassuring him that you're never in any danger the overlord has walked past the hero and out into the hall she's wailing you can only guess what kind of horrible scene she's left for her the overlord tears the hero apart in retaliation you watch silently unable to scream the overlord who you had just been getting along with so well has killed another human right in front of you it's clear now that you have been deceived by your sweet words demons are ruthless monsters after all well i don't know about that because of the whole murdering your entire castle friends family i've been fair is fair here you somehow managed to slip past the overlord and make it out of the blood-soaked castle you never look back interesting what happens if you do all this but underling is disloyal oh near the castle's entrance you spy a group of suspicious demons congregating they're talking about assassinating the overlord you have to warn her but the hero shakes his head he says that if this is the true nature of demons the world is better off with less of them this isn't right you think what kind of hero passes up the chance to save a life the demons have taken notice of you it's now or never you take off into the castle and the unreliable hero falls shortly after you burst into the overlord's room all of your words spilling out at once you should probably slow down but there's no time the overlord seems to have followed your frantic explanation but clearly doesn't understand the urgency of the situation the underling you recognize from before barges in calling you a liar you're surprised they were part of this evil plot they seemed so nice the other demons come right in after them saying the whole thing was the first underling's idea everyone's shouting at each other now it's really stressing you out you're relieved when the overlord demands silence she threatens them with violence and you think she is very overlord-like in this moment the group of demons hiss at each other before shutting the door leaving the little one behind you watch as it pounds on the door in distress have they locked you all in you have a bad feeling about this and thinking that must have jinxed it because now the room is engulfed in flames if only you had ignored those doing demons before you you and the hero wouldn't have stumbled into this situation if you had just pretended not to hear them if you left as you were told only overlord would have been killed but you couldn't have done that that path isn't an option for you you think that no matter what you'll always strive for the path where everyone survives if it exists it must exist it simply must the overlord seizes her underling they beg for their life you pray you don't know what else to do so you just pray the overlord's claws pierce the underling's chest they scream an awful scream she digs and twists her claws into the poor thing while you continue to pray but there's no saving any of you know you the overlord the hero and the underlings corpse are consumed by flames devout maidenhead well i'm i know it's called bad end theater but i gotta think that there's some kind of a you know good ending so there's got to be some differences with being the overlord right so get back to work give them a lecture about responsibility and unquestioning obedience your servants have to do what they're told whether they like it or not keeper here interesting the maiden came here to be captured by you didn't she you'll grant her wish you tell the hero you won't let him take her home the maiden assures you that she'll be back but you don't budge the hero is cautious now if you won't let her go maybe you demons are evil after all and if you are i'll be forced to vanquish you you have no choice you destroy the hero before he can steal your maiden away she's frightened you don't understand why didn't she say she prefers this place to her village now she doesn't have to leave you take a step towards the maiden and she backs herself into a corner you don't understand she wanted to stay here with you the hero was trying to get in the way of that you had to kill him you'll be sure to keep this maiden very safe from now on [Music] well selfish overlord and be i've seen a few of those there's got to be a way to get the end a maybe that's the good ending who knows what happens if we've got a dutiful hero but we're the overlord right give him day off let her stay you notice the sounds of battle have started ringing through the castle halls the maiden is getting nervous but you reassure that it's only your underling's roughhousing no big deal you know it's probably a hero but you don't want to upset the maiden by telling her that your army will take care of it it isn't long before the hero bursts into your room but he shouldn't have made it here why didn't they stop him the hero just stands there unsure of himself he is covered in demon blood as the main speaks to him trying to explain the situation you move past the hero and out the door you're not thinking clearly seeing your servants bodies and pieces all strewn about that hero did this has so much blood why did he come for the maiden do you think she needed rescuing there's no one for this hero to save here there's never any harm meant to anyone you were just talking to her why is it turned out like this the hero starts babbling insincere apologies and excuses realizing his wrongdoing but you are far beyond hearing that kind of [ __ ] you've had it with these humans always murdering your servants for no reason you can no longer hold yourself back and lash out at the hero when you regain control there's nothing left of the hero the maiden has fled in terror you're alone but like i said before fair is fair i've only gotten 13 13 endings there must be like two other options here oh what happens if i go home obey her you don't want to cause any trouble so you figure it's best time to go home along the way you encounter a hero he asks what you're doing don't you know the overlord's castle is like right there you explain everything that happened the hero seems to think you're lying to him ask if you've been brainwashed by the demons what nerve you're very upset that this so-called hero treat you this way and leave an off you return to the village alone everyone is very worried about you they surround you with a thousand questions and you tell them your story as you explained that the overlord never had any intentions to harm anyone here you notice the looks of uncertainty in the crowd people are whispering things to each other while you speak to them you are loudly interrupted by an older man he rudely calls you a demon sympathizer the crowd is growing unruly you don't understand you've only told them the truth do they not believe you everyone begins speculating what must have actually happened they weave elaborate lies and ask you to prove your innocence how could you have returned without the aid of a hero they ask you could not have possibly escaped from the overlords on your own without harm you must be conspired with the demons so i have to say everyone believing that they are horrible creatures we know then be so they say have the people of your village always been this blinded by their fears and hatreds of things they've never cared to know you wonder how you missed that before you're seized by the crowd and voices from all sides are calling for public execution you are to be burned at the stake oh god you don't want to die you wonder would it have been better to hide the truth you don't like the thought of that you've always lived honestly so why has this happened why are you being punished you hear the dissenting voices of your family and neighbors but they like you are powerless against the momentum they can only watch as you burn and you can only cry for them you are so so sorry [Music] well that was sad what happens if dude of doodle hero dude possessive ah objection to the hero's suggestion you tell her you plan on returning soon but she isn't having it you feel nervous the hero puts on a brave face for you if you won't let her go maybe you demons are evil after all and if you are i'll be forced to vanquish you leave you leave me no choice the overlord suddenly jumps the hero she tears into him with her claws you want to grab with the scream catches in your throat you watch because you can't look away has you really been lying to you all along you wonder if this is your punishment for questioning the divine plan the overload approaches you now you back yourself into a corner her expression is complicated being captured by the overlord in a horrible way like this was your destiny after all she vows to keep you very safe from now on you're afraid to find out what that means but there's no one left to save you you belong to the overload now captured maiden ay it's the other side of the story it's the other side of the same story that's what a b is got it 15. okay so if if [Applause] i'm the hero right right okay flee like a coward ask if they'll let me in and here's the maiden wasn't there before you all look at each other in surprising confusion this is no time to hesitate uh well what's going on okay okay okay objects you leave me no choice you overload pauses before suddenly jumping you you're helpless as she disembowels you with your claws how horrible you came all this way only to bed with this cruel fate you should have destroyed these creatures while you had the chance your dying wishes for the maiden to somehow make it out of this alive naive hero all right what if i'm not a naive hero what if i'm not flee let me in killer you launch forward driving your blade through the evil overlord she screams then falls silent the overlord has been slain you smile offering your hand to the maiden she takes it after slight hesitation she must be surprised at how strong you are you escort the maiden home she's oddly quiet on the trek back to the village she must be too shy to speak how the villagers are very pleased with what a good job you've done slaying the overlord and saving a hostage they throw a huge celebration in your name you are remembered for generations as the greatest hero the village he's ever seen now what if we do this here enters the room here suddenly dances towards the overlord sword run oh no how you selflessly throw yourself in front of the hero's blade acting as a shield it's funny you think you never could have imagined this would be the way that you would die the rules are all swished around but it feels right to you somehow you're glad your destiny turned out to be saving someone rather than being saved yourself as your vision fades you hope that everything turns out all right for your new friend oh still what i would say is a bad end but what does this look like from the other or side a while here comes ah before you even know how to react he makes his move and the maiden makes hers she used her own body to shield you from the hero's blade why why has this happened the maiden falls to the floor lifeless as the pool of blood when ether grows so does your rage the hero has taken something precious from this world you lose control and the hero is obliterated but your hatred for the humans has nailed been sated you go on to destroy them all and become ruler of the entire world well now what does it look like from the hero you launch forward for an end of the evil overlord but your blade pierces the maiden instead yes sacrificed herself to protect this demon it takes you a moment to recover from the shock the overlord whales why did you do that you're not sure if the question is directed at you the overload strikes at you in vengeful rage you parry and she's slain your sword feels heavy you look at your hands your clothes blood so much blood you look at the fallen maiden wondering what to tell the town's people why would she protect the overlord she must have been brainwashed by demonic magic you pick up the overlord's head wrapping it in your cape and begin your long journey back to town you will say that you were too late that nothing could be done for the girl but the overlord is slain it will be a celebration [Music] well that's sad okay so i'm assuming i have all the combinations now what happens if you get there but the maiden decided to leave right on your oh there she is on your way back to the overlords castle you spot a maiden heading back towards the village she couldn't have come from the overlords castle could she this may be the extract meeting you're looking to seek him to rescue you approach her with curiosity that's what she's doing but maybe we know this okay she can't be trusted you aren't sure you should listen to this maiden you've been taught your whole life that demons are evil you ask her if she she's sure about all this but she gets very upset that you think she would lie to you she storms off before she could ah you decide to return to the village certain that she must have been kidnapped maiden you were sent to rescue glad that took care of itself you take your time walking home job well done today you think to yourself as you walk past the town square you notice the whole village is crowded around is that the maiden you saw earlier she's bound to a wooden stake the crowd is in a frenzy smoke begins to rise and you stand idly by his flames consume the maiden she must have done something horrible to deserve that she seemed nice though you think but evil comes in all forms you reassure yourself you decide to call it a day and return to your house but you can't escape the sinking feeling maybe you aren't cut out for this rule okay okay okay okay okay believe you have no reason to assume she's been lying to you even though her story is kind of hard to believe you feel you should trust her you tell her she's you're pretty surprised that everyone has been wrong about demons all along the town's people must be informed of this immediately the two of you returned to the village that had all been so worried they praise you for your bravery but the maiden quickly sets a record straight there was nothing she needed to be rescued from in the first place the villagers looked to you for explanation you politely informed them that it isn't your story to tell you merely ran into her on the way to the castle she explains that the overlord isn't interested in capturing maidens or anything of the sort the villagers turn to you again in disbelief they aren't being subtle and how little they trust this maiden's story you totally believe her but to placate these fair citizens you volunteer to speak to the demons personally just in case the crowd breaks into hushed whispers you're too busy thinking what a great and reliable hero you are to hear them what they're saying the town's elder voice breaks you out of your own thoughts he implores you to meet with the overlord immediately and says they'll keep an eye on the maiden until you return you figure that sounds all right but the mood is kind of intense for some reason did you miss something you aren't sure what's going on but you get the feeling it might be bad to leave the maiden on her own but she suddenly takes off running oh you thought the two of you were in this together her actions have convinced the crowd that she's obviously been a liar and a witch from the start people are shouting for you to hunt her down and her demon friends down already but that doesn't sound like a very heroic task you can't help but feel these people are wrong it's up to you to catch her and talk to the demons in order to clear up this misunderstanding you valiantly dash after the maiden towards the overlord's castle the air becomes dark and thick as you enter deep into the demon territory evil miasma no you realize it's just normal smoke you see the maiden head when she stopped and retracts the overlord's castle is engulfed in flames you had only taken an eye off the main for a second but she's already disappeared you get closer to the castle but the smoke is too thick you think of turning back the maiden might need your help you can barely see she could be impossible to find she could have been lying to you all along was this a trap would it be worth risking your life on that chance your legs feel heavy no going in there would be suicide you'll return to the villagers and tell them there was nothing you could do you were too late the maiden was claimed by the demons god damn it i'm getting closer guys is there four oh my god there's four choices now oh no okay [Music] there's four choices now what if we're the maiden again introduce yourself obey her relieve first surprise the demon's stone seems malicious okay so this is the other side of this yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes okay ah that's what happens here let's go ahead and get this one you prove yourself without anyone's help make a run for the overlord's castle leaving the hero behind but as you get closer you start to notice a tower and you die oh no and now you die ah interesting okay now we're going to go back in grab the hero and run you boldly announce that you'll accompany the hero to prove yourself you'd rather risk what's going on there than instead of staying in a village that doesn't trust you no one seems to know how to react you grab the hero by the wrist and take off before anyone stops you but as you approach the castle you notice something's gone terribly wrong it appears to be on fire is the overlord alright you have to be sure everyone is safe you've already taken off before the hero can even think of stopping you you scan the fleeing demons but the overlord isn't among them against your better judgment oh no what were you thinking what were you thinking what were you thinking what happens if we're the underling but the hero has a no yes if you're sleeping we battle you emerged from a room to find a hero that slaughtered many of your friends and work associates what a jerk hey stop that you lunge at him while he's busy driving the sword into a guard who someone sometimes brought you food whenever they notice you were feeling kind of down you like that guard you wish to thaw your demon heart for this hero to suffer for his deeds you bite into him tearing his flesh from bone it tastes like iron hear struggles you feel a sword go through you but there's no pain only retribution more of your comrades pile onto him as your consciousness fades the hero is overtaken your army is won you've earned your rest oh well that's a good ending what happens if you don't save yourself you look around at the lifeless forms of those you've known as far back as you can remember you feel glad to not be in their shoes you also feel guilty to be thinking that you flee the castle until you remember your role not as an underling but as a demon this kind of thing is expected of you maybe you'll start a new life far away from any humans or demons where you'll live peacefully alone in some deep dark forest somewhere oh well that's another ending at least at least i'm not dead okay 24 or 41. i'm more than halfway down i don't know what these question marks are but i do know that there's a way to kind of combine these i i know see if i do uh select the character to display their timeline huh [Music] ahaha that's helpful diplomatic heroic got it okay this is helpful diplomatic heroic [Music] let's see this one [Music] oh you didn't even have a seat oh you've gone soft how could you lay your guard down like that how unfair after all you've done to avoid this outcome you can't outrun your destiny the hero has always slays the overlord you should never have trusted a human you watch as a hero escorts the maiden out of your castle captured by a demon at least she got what she came here for you join your army in eternal slumber ah ah yeah okay i haven't even gotten the basic ones hungry okay all right get back to work you wake up to a huge commotion hero oh rush out into the battlefield to confront this jerkwad you cursed him and very rudely inquires reasons for doing all this hero yells at you demanding you return the maiden you're holding captive you don't know what he's talking about but you can't forgive his actions you do battle with the hero but he has grown strong from cutting down your army you're unable to defeat him with a decisive wing swing he stabbed you and cut through the piece of you fall you've failed your subject you've spit karthith weekly and you wish you'd have been stronger maybe you never suited for the overlord in the first place truth was you were never that much more powerful than the demons who served you it was the title the control that gave you strength these are your thoughts as you're swallowed by the darkness all right well that's that is something ah right okay diplomatic possessive granting okay hey gobbler up wait no what was it i forget diplomatic okay disloyal oh nose bring the right it was bring to the castle yeah oh aha but there's a couple of humans in there you watched the scene unfold you're unsure why but the overlord suddenly cuts down the hero she approaches the maiden you brought to her earlier with the overlords distracted you figure this is good at chances any and you launch a sneak attack getting her right in the back she flinches giving you enough advantage to take her down you rip the overlord apart until she stops moving that was messier than you would have liked the maiden mutters something from the corner thank you for saving me it wasn't your attention but it sounds like you did something heroic you tell the maiden to go home this place is dangerous she follows your advice and leaves the castle your castle you are the new overlord [Music] interesting okay we're really getting him now okay resolute okay disloyal anti-social obedient okay okay anti-social obedient okay okay trusting okay trusting okay let's go you and your friends turn to notice a pair of humans have over here to your entire conversation they take off into the castle are they headed to the overlords room [ __ ] the overlord will kill you for sure if she found out you were conspiring to take her out you dash into the castle after the humans sure enough the maiden's already frantically telling the overlord everything you shout that the humans are liars your friends soon arrive to back you up except they don't instead they blame you for the whole thing they cried that it was all your idea and that they were just going on with the flow too scared to refuse your crazy plan you can't believe they'd tell the overlord such a blatant lie you always knew better than to trust them you're the one who didn't have a choice here you all shouted each other until the overlord demands silence regardless of who led this conspiracy i have no choice but to punish everyone to keep you all in your place be crushed but he's my heel she sounds tough but lately all she does is sleep you doubt her strength you hear our traitorous friends mutter something about going back to plan a and suddenly the door slams shut you're trapped in here with the overlord and the two humans then the room bursts in flames you pound on the door screaming curses at those who betrayed you the hero joins you vowing to slay the lot of them you wish you'd get that chance the overlord grabs you by the throat you cry for mercy you were forced into this mess you're sure now that they would have killed you if you decided with her but the overlord doesn't hear you please she drives her claws into your chest at least she made it quick okay well what if what if traitor underling yeah you get that but what if okay what if you're not resolute here we go same thing turn notice the maiden from earlier has overheard your entire conversation it'd be bad for you if the overlord found out about this use the maiden for killing practice it was usually made for killing practices just the way it has to be you declare you before jumping her and flying your guts turns out you're already an expert at ending lies your friends call you a show off you go back to the castle wash off the icky human blood as you're finishing up that you hear the sounds of battle outside a hero has come seeing the dead maiden must have made him pretty angry you get to thinking if this hero took down the overlord for you everything might actually work out in your favor you wait for things to die down outside before poking your head out you spot the overlord and hero locked in battle they've worn each other down making this very easy for you once an opening it presents itself you hit the back of the ears head knocking about what are you doing couldn't you tell this was a duel you don't respond you have to carry out the assassination you tackle her and rip her to shreds with your claws until she helps move in you finish off the hero next you can't let him revive and come after you later kind of a cheap victory but it doesn't make any difference anyone who managed to survive comes crawling out from their hiding places you're the new ruler you live in the fear that they will one day betray you okay that's a that's that's a but what about there was another one captor captor i don't even remember there being something about capture saucer in the dungeon you and your friend seized the maiden and bring her to the dungeon under the castle it's empty save for the decorative skulls not only there to make it feel more spooky the maiden is very upset you leave her in the cell to continue scheming with your friends but now a hero has arrived at the front gates he's asking about a maiden perhaps if everyone you just locked up the gatekeeper who must have seen everything tells the hero exactly what happened what an idiot you think why give the hero an excuse to start slaughtering us the hero yells prepare to face justice and the other such cliche hero lines before driving a sword into the gatekeeper's torso you're small compared to a lot of your friends so you're able to slip away without getting cut up by that sword you get thinking this hero took down the overload for ah it's the same thing but there is a capture factor okay how do i get to play as the maiden thrown in jail i have to leave [Music] leave leave on your own no that just goes there okay what about what about that ahaha a suspicious group of demons stands just outside the entrance they're talking about assassinating the overlord they immediately notice you overheard them and decide to lock you in their judges before you can cause any trouble ah so sad battle if he's out there your cries don't reach him after a while the violence seems to die down it's impossible to tell what's happened you continue to wait but no one comes for you unable to escape you rot in that cell but i found a way for the flames not to burn yes okay i know i could just chase these down and there must be four secret endings there must be where's the loot trusting obedient anti-social obedient anti-social okay it must be a secret trait of hers that we have not seen yet interesting i'm gonna cut because it's taking longer than i thought i'm gonna cut but i'm gonna finish this in another recording so mysteriously disappearing i've always been here everything is the same don't worry why i'm out of breath okay so where were we we have 29 of 41 endings we i thought oh right we need to get another uh another choice for you so what could this mean okay anti-social go home obedient so they do go home ah so play here overlord right okay day off oh what you're waking by one of your underlings and here wishes to speak with you he inquires about a mayman huh sylvian oh oh i'm dying now [Music] uh you gave this one a day off and this is how it repays you you die wondering if you could have done anything to prevent this um well all right i didn't expect that to happen uh oh right hungry what if we go [Music] thank god this guide is here okay what if uh not opinion is that was that what it actually needs let them go spend more time with you you just have to trust in that you decide okay well that's the same okay there's something that i'm missing here trusting resolute okay that's what's needed i need these other things i think trust me this is what i need i think i gotta let them stay and then let them go because they'll be back ah the maiden suddenly bursts into your room accompanied by a hero she's trying to frantically communicate something to you but you're still half sleep they tell you a group of demons is after your life you still don't grasp the urgency of the situation one of your underlying barges in next shouting that the humans are liars okay i've seen this everyone's shouting over okay regardless of who led this conspiracy i have no choice but to punish everyone okay okay still unsure you have the strength to back it up okay you the maiden the hero and one of your underlings are trapped inside okay said i burned alive in your own room by those you thought you could trust you should have expected this from a bunch of idiot demons though you noticed the maiden crying why does she have to die over something that has nothing to do with her perhaps she was cursed from the moment she spoke to you you wonder if you're cursed as well you're so filled with anger and frustration you don't even notice that you've grabbed the underling those traitors blamed everything on they cry for mercy saying that they were dragged into this plot knowing they'd be killed if they took your side they cried that they didn't want to have to kill you you almost feel sorry for them oh i'll forgive them you release the underling killing them wouldn't make you feel any better besides they've already gotten their punishment you'll all burn to go overlord's true end true and true ending oh what no stop what are you doing don't do this to me before you're taken back to reset the story once again you pause for a moment true i okay i feel called out here and i don't like that true and you say to yourself what was the point of all my effort if the true ending is this terrible you must have forgotten where you were is bad end theater is the pain setting on oh but you should have been well aware of what you were shown when you entered this place it's a problem i've seen quite often at some point you grew attached to my little cast you started to relate to their flaws their plights he started wishing for their happiness but you aren't going to find that in my theater my lovingly crafted labyrinth of suffering anyway i hope you'll pardon the interruption you're making great progress the choice to continue on to the next ending is always yours i'll leave it to you dear guest well ominous floating crying head i have something to say about that you have no idea how boneheaded i can be all right well as ominous as that was puppet master puppet master you say well well well the true end you say but what about the other one that's probably just the other the other side of the equation here stay away listen let them go take retribution you pierce your chest with your colossal scream the hero backs away he's wise not to interfere they stopped moving but you keep digging and twisting your claws into them doesn't make you feel any better the underling's course burns along with you and the two humans okay i just needed to get that other ending because spiteful overlording not the true ending of course but i needed to get that other one because now i have a choice to be merciful here i'm wondering there's something else here trusting diplomatic what if you're not resolute let's try that oh yeah oh i didn't change the minions settings oh this is new anyway you've almost fallen asleep when the maiden and the hero burst into your room frantically trying to communicate something to you you're told that a group of demons is plotting to assassinate you you're not surprised how nice of the humans to care though underling barges in well this seems the same hero trot pounds on the door as well vowing to slay the cowardly demons on the other side huh [Music] well that seemed like the same why did that seem to no matter the perspective the true ending remains the same that's what makes it true you couldn't resist seeing it for yourself though could you i wonder what will happen when you collect them all will you give in to despair or or what also i don't know why that was different why is that different okay disloyal trusting go home and is obedient right okay right okay because that would change her and the hero's interaction go home sounds a battle here is cutting your way through well this is interesting vile demons i should have shouldn't have believed for a second that you were anything but pure evil i'll exterminate you all you don't really know what he's gone i'm about but you engage regardless of girls got to defend her people you clash again and again but the hero isn't going down easily you're both dangerously low on health waiting for the others to make a move when one of your underlings appears behind them they knock the euro unconscious you kind of appreciate it but can't they see this was duel they don't respond you sense murderous intent oh your servant tackles you tearing you apart with her claws you struggle to retaliate they've done too much damage you can barely move now your blood is everywhere you can't believe this has happened to you why has this happened to you you've been slain by your own underling well a letter flutters down from beyond the curtains you found lost letter number four i'm sorry my love do you remember when we first met i just finished one of my scripts one i was quite proud of in fact as i read it aloud you happen to pass by what a terrible ending you said why should all those poor fools have to die you were so rude you wouldn't accept any of my justifications and yet you managed to convince me it really would have been better if everyone could live in harmony however unrealistic that felt i looked back fondly on that day even now i wonder if somewhere you're thinking of it too forever yours tragedy tragedy and comedy tragedy comedy that obviously the sad crying face is the tragedy mask without the comedy mask oh i see i see i see i see [Music] uh let's kill the overlord to your surprise the overlord spares you or maybe she'd rather see you suffer instead looking around you've just gone from one dead end to another the maiden is crying the hero's silent you all burn together okay well i've seen that underling's true end i see a letter flutters down from beyond the curtain you found lost letter number three i'm really going backwards on this i've been feeling a little depressed lately many patrons have come to my theater but none so far have stayed to experience every tale in its entirety the critics haven't exactly been kind but i understand my stories aren't exactly crowd pleasers despite that you always listen to the very end i'm grateful for that hope to see you again soon forever yours tragedy well boo hoo maybe you should write happier stories then okay beautiful heroic okay auntie so she anti-sochi staying beautiful hiroro okay dutiful hiroro [Music] so she okay hello okay bye bye he's covered in demon blood oh god yeah that's right he's dutiful you are frightened by the sight of him and run away you return to the village alone everyone was very worried about you they surround you with a thousand questions and you tell them your story as you explain that the overlord never had any intentions to harm anyone here you notice the looks of uncertainty in the crowd people are whispering things to each other while you speak to them you are loudly interrupted by an older man i did something wrong oh i stay with the overlord that's what i did wrong okay hi uh no i'm staying okay dude do nothing here's blade piece i thought i got this one overlord is slain here smiles and holds out of sand to you saying it's time to go home his glove is drenched in blood hesitantly you take his hand the hero guides you through the castle past the corpses of his enemies you try to keep your eyes at your feet there's blood everywhere you shut your eyes but even then you can't escape this smell all of this was because of you wasn't it you exit the castle and the hero leads you back to the village everyone celebrates the hero's great triumph over the demons you feel sick but you take part in the festivities regardless oh complacent maiden well you know there are worse fates i've seen them that's not so bad okay what is this okay leave trusting return disloyal and oh hi bye leave on your own okay i see assassination plot immediately notice you overheard them and decide to lock you in the dungeon before you can cause any trouble you cry out but the demons ignore your protests you can't believe you escaped possibly being thrown in a cell block in your village only to be tossed in this awful place this is terrible who's going to keep those demons from harming the overlord you hope she can fend for herself you sure can't hear the sounds of battle echoing through the halls outside did the hero follow you if he's out there you cries don't reach him after a while the violence seems to die down it's impossible to tell what happened you continued wave when no one comes for you unable to escape you brought in that cell okay i already got that one ah disloyal but not captor that's what's different bye bye goodbye okay uh this is just the way it has to be they suddenly attack you in that moment you regret everything i die instantly i'm dead now okay so i gotta get disloyal you can get here a couple different ways trusting resolute disloyal merciful that's the only real difference here i see okay the overlord spares the underling you feel relieved but doesn't make any difference you will all burn together maiden's true end i see a letter flutters down from beyond the curtain you found lost letter number two it can't end like this i'll keep collecting bad endings for now my love i finally fulfilled the childhood dream about yeah that's right i opened up my very own theater you'd be so proud if you can only see it i know how much it would have meant to you to be in my sight on opening night i'm sorry for going ahead without you but i thought if my theater could become world famous then maybe use my year of it wherever you are forever yours tragedy is whatever okay there's a lot of different things here okay so i got to be dutiful and then apologize okay here we go [Music] ah not wanting to look like you're a crazy person chasing after anything you nonchalantly walk back to town as you walk past the town square you notice the whole village is crowded around is that the maiden you saw earlier oh she's bound to a wooden i thought i i thought she went back to the well she went back to the castle wasn't that what was that what i saw it kind of stopped and uh what if you're not obedient okay here we go yeah yeah okay you can't sense anything sinister happening you all look at each other in surprise and confusion this is no time to hesitate uh what's going on she explains that she came here on her own and was never in any danger she hesitantly asked why you're covered in blood you don't know how to respond the overlord moves past you and out the door to see your army in lifeless bloody piles she's wailing it's horrible is your chance hero [Music] bob sorry you hope she'll let this whole thing slide if you could just explain yourself you really try but the overlord is inconsolable she tears you apart and the maiden watches in silence as you die you can't help but think you probably deserved this [Music] alright so there's this other way anti-sochi what if you're i think it's like not polite okay but obedient got it not resolute let's try that [Music] i believe you when you reach the gates you ask the demons if they've seen the maiden they have they inform you she's being held in the dungeon at the moment she trusts them and in return they lock her up so demons are truly evil beings after all you demand they take you to her but they do not let you pass you should have expected as much from these unreasonable creatures you know what you must do you thrust your blade through the demon before you and rush the castle alone you're the only one who can save the maiden now what the [ __ ] are you doing killing all my soldiers the overlord is angry you vow to exterminator and all of demonkind you clash again and again but the overlord isn't going down easily you're both dangerously low on health when everything goes black your quest has come to an abrupt end wow [Music] hey what the hell okay but what if resolute not captor same deal spy group is suspicious demons they're talking about assassinating the overlord this proves that you to you the demons really are foul creatures we have to tell her about this you don't understand what the maiden is thinking the world is better off with less demons they're all cold ruthless creatures that should be destroyed and those same creatures have just noticed you eavesdropping the maiden takes off into the castle and you have no choice but to follow you burst into the overlord's room maiden frantically tries to communicate what you just heard a demon i know this i know this yadda yadda everyone's shouting uh okay gonna kill uh right let's go okay you'll all burn together wow heroes true end okay but uh that wasn't all the endings there's one more ending here that i have no oh there's an offshoot ending here so you're not obedient [Music] you're disloyal you're merciful right okay same deal diplomatic step up to the near steam and explain why you've come here they stare you down you feel very uncomfortable but they seem to trust you i've done this uh what's going on we leave casually exit the castle ah here we go you don't understand what the maiden is thinking the world is better off aha i think i've wait wait wait there's something going on here what if he's not disloyal [Music] no that's kind of a requirement unless you go the other nigh he's disloyal in either one of them how do you get that one okay let me think about this the maiden overhears the underlings plot to kill the overlord and goes back to warn her what is this what what if not possessive try to make conversation with maiden but she's pretty quiet since leaving the overlord's room is she shy she suddenly stops in her track and you turn to ask what the deal is oh wait this is different though i can't skip it you can't help but feel relieved you got the maiden now when you did but she suddenly takes off towards the castle smoke is so thick what's she thinking i have done that [Music] everyone's everything [Music] nope okay so by process of elimination i know that i have to get to this point to be able to get this ending there's not really a choice here so it must be something else that exists it has to have you be disloyal that's a must you could be a tyrant you could be anti-social you could be not you could not be possessive that's the thing you couldn't be possessive but you could be merciful which seems to be the requirement for the true ending of most things oh wait what if it's just like not merciful isn't that it isn't that the only thing really [Music] see thruster claws that's it that is it that was the only difference it's just like the non-merciful version uh who you all consumed by flames that's it that's the last one a letter flutters down from beyond the curtains you found lost letter number one i got the letters my love it just isn't fair at all is it for them to force us apart like this it's unreasonable cruel i had to find an outlet for this grief somehow so i decided to write and i'll keep writing till the day you find me once more and then maybe we could write a story together i'm waiting for that day forever yours tragedy so there's something else it can't end like this you want to answer the maiden's prayers you've decided to find a way to save everyone but retracing the paths you've seen so far there doesn't seem to be any room to avoid a bad ending is there really nothing you can do to keep them all from getting killed in the end if there's nothing you could do by acting from within their story maybe it's time to take things into your own hands oh what oh god underling on f on fire what oh you boldly insert yourself into the story and use your incredible power to warp everyone to safety you didn't know you could do that but what's going on here you take a moment to get a good look at yourself you are you but why are you pitch black you feel that this body doesn't accurately represent you but you move past it the hero maiden underling and overlord have all been staring at you they look like they don't really know what they're supposed to do right now you guess that's because you're usually the one guiding them what will you say to them hi hello everybody my name is markiplier subscribe bb on youtube.com markiplier hi you smile awkwardly and introduce yourself the maiden is the first to respond my prayers have been answered you must be her god ah well maybe a little bit maybe a lot of a bit maybe it's not a bit at all uh no you're near the the player if there was any god here they'd be the final boss that's just how these role-playing gods and games go now you realize what the real true ending must be now now now enough of this i admit i've been encouraging you all along but a self-insert story how posse you watch helplessly as tragedy descends from the heavens you didn't honestly believe you were the only one who could force your way onto this stage did you i am the narrator storyteller god of this world call me tragedy if you'd like darkness envelops your party you don't mind if i send each of them back to relive one of their many bad endings to you you are alone in the darkness with me tragedy i sincerely hope you've enjoyed your time in my theater though i can't abide you stealing the show without permission it's quite disrespectful i'm sick of all the bells show me some new uh well i'm not all mine the best yeah it's new please are you trying to say my bad endings have gone out of style you have some nerve you think defeating me might just be the only way to see a better ending it's all that's left for you isn't it well this does sound like it could be entertaining show me what you've got time to fight god i didn't think i was ready for this but okay if you're sitting on the bench you got to be ready to play the stage is set for your final battle against me the god of this world what will you do how would you fight against tragedy itself i'd love to see it i defend you try closing off your heart to protect yourself but it doesn't make you feel any better or is that all you'll never defeat me like that wait let me try that again [Music] perhaps you don't understand just how class you are behold my beautifully strategic tales doesn't seem them all again make your heart ache you've witnessed fall forty one of my painstakingly crafted endings you must be as much of a masochist as me i commend your thoroughness surely these characters have a special place in your heart they're still suffering backstage you know it's a shame they couldn't make it here to the end of the world that's right you came here to save them you can't do this alone oh simon call friend oh you find the hero in his own hunched over a sewing table your sudden intrusion scares the hell out of the poor guy are you some kind of demon you explain that no you're not a demon you're how can you explain it in a way that the hero can understand instead you ask what he's sewing know this i craft all my own hero gear you sense his pride in his hobby you wonder if the costumes are what attracted him to the role of hero would you like some clothes you don't seem to be wearing any i am naked yes you remember the state of your body and decide that yes some clothes from the hero would be nice he is overjoyed by your answer apparently his outfits are too gaudy for the other townsfolk so no one else wants him the true end for the hero suddenly becomes clear he offered to change his fate i could make a living as a tailor rather than a hero please tell me what i can do to reach that dream the hero will now fight alongside you oh i agreed to follow you but i didn't expect to face something like this the hero has arrived we really could never find a boss battle without him you're the one who's been killing us murderer i can't truly call myself a hero until i see you defeated you'll see about that tragedy attacks with a terrible fate ow ow uh salmon you happen to find the maiden as she exits the church perfect timing she approaches you having already taken notice of your odd form excuse me are you a traveler i've never seen anyone like you before you explain that no you're not a traveler well maybe you are in a sense you've come all this way the main regards you with excited curiosity that perhaps you might be a demon i was hoping i would meet one today you think of all the terrible fates so what that would hope would bring about she is the catalyst of this story after all my role as a maiden is to be captured by the overlord but you see i've grown so tired of waiting you remember this part she wanted to understand her role better and so you ask what it is that she's really hoping to gain from this maiden is confused by your question perhaps it was as simple as wanting to reach the place she felt like she belonged the true end for the maiden becomes suddenly clear you offer to change your fate if there's something i can do to find fulfillment then please guide me the maiden will not fly it alongside you what is this horrible creature you wouldn't be dear maiden his tragedy really such a terrible thing to behold i remember now i remember all the awful things you put us through then this should be familiar to you as well tragedy attacks with a terrible fate now well let's keep going then you approach the gates of the overlord's castle the underling is on guard duty as you expected they call out to you the other demon guard is sound asleep hey you're pretty weird-looking intruder what do you want you explain that no you're not an intruder although you're definitely intruding into their story right now you tell the underling that you've come to save them from tragedy okay try saving me from boredom first i hate this job the underling snickers you ask what kind of job they'd rather have it'd be best if i didn't have to work at all i just want to live a carefree life and never get boss around or picked on you think of the underlings friends who had bullied them into assassination plot only to portray them in the end if they kept better company maybe they wouldn't feel so restless a true end for the underling suddenly becomes clear you offered to change their fate so there's a way for that to even work can be that even work can be fun sounds fake but i'll tag along with you just in case the underling will not fight alongside you wait what the [ __ ] you didn't say anything about a boss battle the underling you must be desperate to call on such an unreliable ally if i beat this guy up all my problems will be over oh busy won't be that easy tragedy attacks with a terrible fate i'm having too much fun now all right how about this hi-yah you enter the overlord's room relieved to see that the fire contained at the torches on the wall when you close it or behind you the overlord rises from her slumber who are you have you come to reside in my castle and serve me you explain that no you're not here to serve her it's more like you've come to do her a favor you ask why she spends all day sleeping until i've commanded your demon army she laughs in response many of my underlings certainly think i should be more aggressive with the humans like my father before me his quest for revenge was endless and self-perpetuating there's a reason i had to destroy him you can't help but think it's a little late in the game to get some backstory i have no interest of waging war on the humans i merely wish to be left alone to live a peaceful indulgent life in my castle you realize she must actually be very lonely only surrounded by soldiers instead of friends no wonder she gets so attached to the maiden the true end for the overlord suddenly becomes clear you offered to change your fate my own attempts peace have been rather imperfect if you offer a solution then very well i will follow you the other lord will now fight alongside you i see so this is tragedy you've prevented me from attaining peace for so long prepare to die [Music] i hope you're prepared to face your destiny [Music] can you solve my final puzzle which combinations of behavior will show in the path deal true ending show me all right so the true ending becomes clear will oh your reign of tower and terror ends here tragedy i refuse to give in the hero uses the willpower to overcome tragedy the tragedy is reeling okay how about some boom how true endings do exist they simply must the man hopes with all her heart to overcome tragedy tragedy is reeling how about little a little mischief what about a little mischief the underling tries to evade tragedy through mischievous means you're so much fun would you like oh whoops oh i will hang on yeah yeah you're right tenacity knock me down and i'll just come back stronger the underling uses their tenacity to overcome tragedy tragedy is reeling all right how about ambition i'll reach my true ending with my own power the overlord uses her ambitious nature to become tragedy this is it with everyone's hearts united you take aim for your best possible futures you unleash one final attack to destroy tragedy once and for all [Music] [Laughter] [Music] you've done it you've managed to defeat me a tragic end for tragedy itself i love it i must thank you all for fulfilling your roles perfectly thank you hero thank you maiden thank you hundling thank you overlord not of this nonsense we defeated you so die already don't worry i'll be making my exit shortly firstly thank you most of all we couldn't have made it here with you yes my bad end theater did contain a truly good ending after all i apologize for antagonizing you for so long i wanted to deliver a satisfying story was i able to do it i wonder no no well i did my best happy endings shouldn't always come easily oh i was gonna say no as in you should have a happy ending reality is not so kind but you've earned this one here's a true ending oh [Music] but i i meant that as in i meant that as in uh as in i was assuming that would lead to me saying something like you deserve a better ending [Music] is [Music] wandering all alone searching for my [Music] thinking of your face for all your you my tragedy i knew it i knew it i knew something's missing i knew it i loved that song by the way it was very good oh you're still here the curtain has closed for the final time i'm shutting down my theater there are no more tragedies left for me to tell after all that's tragedy it's story me you'd like to know why i started this theater because i'm obsessed with bad endings of course [Music] you generally raise your fingers to the cracks in my mask piece by piece it falls apart in your hands revealing [Music] i should have warned you this might affect what you think of my stories you can't help but compare my face to the maidens i'm not her but it's not like she isn't me necessarily that's how it is with fiction would you like to hear not another ending but the truth tell me all right one last story you may already know this one but it doesn't have a happy ending first i'll set the stage in this world there are no such things as demons or even heroes really there was a girl easier to set out to fulfill some sort of destiny that part was true she met someone another girl a running theme isn't it the maiden and the overlord the two were inseparable and for a time everything was just wonderful but their families the communities they came from neither could approve of their relationship that's the reality for many this pair was no different despite their best efforts the world was intent on pulling them apart she no we we used to like the types of stories where love conquers all where the strength of your love will pull you through any hardship and everything is okay in the end i lost her and then i started this theater huh oh i was hoping to find you it's you it's been so long i thought i'd never see you again you always think of the worst endings i wasn't about to give up just because things got difficult why didn't you reveal yourself sooner i feel like such a fool i could say the same to you you knew i could never resist giving your stories a happy ending so of course i would be drawn to a place like this yes i didn't think it would actually work sometimes everything does turn out okay in the end thank you for reminding me of that i love you i love you too oh now truly everyone can live happily ever after tragedies end that's really sweet that's really sweet god [Laughter] dull and then the whole theater engulfs in flames and they all burn together no that was great i liked that a lot that was very good i can see why people were really into this game i mean i was really into it i played the whole damn thing very fun i mean i'm a sucker for choose your own adventures that kind of stuff and this is like an innovative twist on it and oh man just very fun hope you guys didn't mind me indulging myself with the voices i thought that was wonderful so thank you everybody so much for watching support this developer link to this game is in the description below play for yourself i mean i think i got all the endings but definitely show some love to them play the game experience it for yourself maybe there's secrets that i don't even know there's probably some kind of accommodation in there i didn't get to four choices for four people a lot of choices maybe there's a secret of one in there who knows and not every story has a happy ending not every story has a bad ending but it was a good ending after all in here so thank you and as always i will see you in the next video bye-bye [Music] you
