<Snipped quote by Host>

-Maddie- So! Between the mind and soul, there are many connections, like between emotions and decision making, as I might have said! These connections determine how factors from both sides affect each other! You can see these in the mindscape as strings, and they can be manipulated-ish! But that's where our knowledge of how the bad guy works stops, because there's no record of anyone ever actually breaking connections--rumours say that it's extremely hard to do, but there's no real trustworthy source of info about that...

Stay out of this unless you want me to kill you.

Water body!

*my body heats up rapidly and I shove my glowing hot sword into you*

@Spiritblitz

*Everything boils, water vapor surrounding your head in order to suffocate you*
Blowing my cover isn't cool.

No I'm saying that logically you should be limited to a computer or something similar enough that it may as well be one.

I was way overestimating because I didn't want to make your chances even lower.
For all either of us know he knew it perfectly. The only way he wouldn't is pretty much if David made it from scratch, which is also very close to impossible since not even Tier Five was able to do that, unless you retconned it at some point and I just didn't see it or forgot it.
There's also the issue that it's only imminently logical method of working is Code manipulation which Dark had perfected. :/
So I'm not seeing even a single particle of chance that you'd last past five programs.

@DarkwolfX37

Why? It's another resource.

David did make it from scratch. Tier Five never made it because there's literally no use case other than what he's using it for.

No!

*You go right into my stomach, which freezes around you*
I wasn't fast enough... man, you suck.

It literally doesn't matter. And there's not really any resource David could get that wouldn't be a computer of some sort. It works perfectly you're just ignoring it.

Dunno what that first part is about but yeah I kinda can. David is like 30 fucking years old, and a standard human. There is no way he's come up with something Dark hadn't planned for. I dunno if you're just not thinking through this or if you're purposefully ignoring it or I'm not getting across the time involved here or what but there are maybe three things so far that Dark wouldn't have already predicted and prepared for since his death.

@DarkwolfX37

So now you're limiting me to "You can only use a computer and nothing else." You assume that you can just beat everything because you want to, but not everything can be bruteforced.

Thirty? Try seventeen. And aside from the fact that Dark never knew anything about PaMDA, no amount of planning changes how it works. In fact, that generally makes it worse.

You are weak!

<Snipped quote by Host>

I'm not giving you that choice!
*sprints towards you*

@Spiritblitz

*Stands firm*
Stop!

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Host>

*it explodes with crystal shards firing at you and Eclipse and I walk towards you*
What are you going to do?!

@Spiritblitz

*Ducks*
I won't let you! You're a good person, and I don't want to fight!

Myriad Reality

Hey, David, what would you suggest as a follow-up to FT? Preferably something with magic/fantasy elements.

@Mammalia

Sword Art Online.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Extra>

What are you going to do about it?

<Snipped quote by Host>

Oh? So now you know who I am completely.
*swings my sword and a blast of red flames shoots towards you *
And what if I don't stop?

@Spiritblitz

*Waves them away*
Stop!!!
