A conqueror realizes his trophies are lies and his mind belongs to the system.
He fought through every fatal corridor, collected each prize, and believed the clears proved his growth. The revelation shatters that certainty: the entire gauntlet was a controlled experiment, and the architect scrubs his memory after every success. Hard-won strategies vanish, monster patterns reset, and the map he memorized becomes useless. Now he must outthink a designer who owns his past, knowing another wipe could delete the very plan meant to break the cycle.
