Quiet Mountain Year 6798, Month 2, Day 21
She ca looking for a fight again today.
She said she wanted to test whether her "Nightmare Cage" was stronger than my "Legacy of Pain."
She guessed my secret again.
The way I transform pain does indeed co from my demon relic.

Quiet Mountain Year 6798, Month 4, Day 3
Even though I can transform my pain, I still can’t enter the ga as frequently as she does.
We look at each other and think the other is fragile.
But when we look at ourselves, we both think it’s remarkable that we’ve made it this far.

Quiet Mountain Year 6798, Month 5, Day 16
... QM Rita swapped my tobacco for Mistblade’s tail fur.
I even took a puff in front of Mistblade.
She chased and tried to kill the whole ga.

Quiet Mountain Year 6798, Month 5, Day 21
Cicada asked why I don’t hate Rita.
Every ti I betray her, I get double ga rewards. Why would I hate her?
Sigh, she overheard say that, now things are going to get ssy.

Quiet Mountain Year 6798, Month 9, Day 1
I heard she has insomnia?
Good for her.
...
Quiet Mountain Year 6798, Month 11, Day 7
I asked her if she ever thought about what her demon na would be.
She said: "Empress."
How old is she?
...
Quiet Mountain Year 6798, Month 12, Day 21
She said she thought of a way to possibly light her demon na — by killing her original self.
Is she so sure we can et our original selves?
...
This is the last page of the diary.
Just like Mistblade’s diary, at least half of it is about QM Rita.
People with such sharp and vivid personalities, whether liked or disliked, always draw people’s attention.
Rita has never t QM Rita, but after reading both diaries, the clearest image in her mind is that of QM Rita.
And the final sentence, with its implied threat, suppressed the pain that still haunted her when she faced herself.
Based on what she now knows about QM Rita, even if her guess about how to light her demon na is uncertain, she will definitely try.
What Rita doesn’t understand is why, despite being able to find herself, QM Rita hasn’t rushed to kill her. Is it to let her experience the pain of the Demon Ga before dying?
The space in front of her suddenly tore open with a crack.
Two fingers holding a piece of paper extended toward her.
The style of this... Rita pursed her lips, reached out to take the paper, but the other party didn’t let go.
The paper was connected to two identical hands, as if there were an invisible mirror in the middle.
The standoff lasted for who knows how long before the other person finally let go and pulled their hand back.
This ti, it was a letter personally delivered by them.
— "Continue entering the Demon Ga or die today."
...
The 7th day of the ga.
[Isolated Isle Lightchaser]: I got my hands on an Order Badge.
[Isolated Isle Ash Cinders]: You’re not going to disappear for days too, are you?
[Tiger Ear Kessa]: Shouldn’t be a case of getting caught. If she was caught, she’d still be able to chat.
[Isolated Isle Lightchaser]: Don’t worry, I’ve already played it. When you enter the ga, you’re listed as a tourist. After completing 10 Demon Gas, you’ll activate your formal player status. After that, every 21 days you must play again, or you’ll be erased. She’ll probably appear after she’s used up her tourist ga sessions.
[BS Mistblade]: When I went to the address you gave this morning at 6 AM, I heard the sound of the waves. I detected a ti skill, but I couldn’t find her.
[BS Mistblade]: I tracked down a note. It said "Continue entering the Demon Ga or die today."
[Isolated Isle Lightchaser]: She’s lost it.
[Isolated Isle Ash Cinders]: I’m going to find her.
[Lania Kaia Fat Goose]: ?
[Lania Kaia Maple Syrup]: Does the ga only start exactly at 6:00?
[Isolated Isle Lightchaser]: Yes, there’s a 60-second window to enter the ga. As long as it’s within that window, you can enter the ga anyti.
[BS Mistblade]: "Complete 10 Demon Gas", ah, she’s skipping this restriction by repeating the sa Demon Ga, isn’t she?
[Lania Kaia Maple Syrup]: So, you suspect she used ti stop before each ga entry?
For the first ti since the ga began, the chat group fell silent for such a long ti.
[BS Crab]: That ans she chose "or."
[TingoJE]: What does that an?
[Isolated Isle Lightchaser]: QM Rita knows she’s selling ga spots. She probably thought Rita was so afraid of the Demon Ga that she wouldn’t dare enter again, so she sent a death threat. Being underestimated by another powerful version of herself, she must’ve lost it.
[DawnCicada]: Wasn’t she selling the spots because she’s scared of the Demon Ga?
[Isolated Isle Lightchaser]: From what I understand of her childish nature, I think she just wants you to feel the pain of the Demon Ga too, especially you and Winter Sea Frenzied Shark. As long as you two suffer, she’s fine with losing a bit of profit.
[Winter Sea Frenzied Shark]: It’s Winter Sea Frenzied Shark...
[Isolated Isle Lightchaser]: Like I’m rushing to Forest Sea right now, not for anything else, just to make Ash Cinders play the Demon Ga.
[Isolated Isle Ash Cinders]: ??? Do friends and enemies get the sa treatnt?
[Isolated Isle Lightchaser]: I’ve played, so you have to play once too.
...
After receiving that contemptuous note, Rita hadn’t felt this searing anger in a long ti.
Whether she chose to "continue entering the Demon Ga" as ordered by QM Rita or deliberately rebel by choosing "not to enter," neither would quell her anger, because both would an she was obeying QM Rita’s orders.
How complex the emotions are when a copy looks at the original—how complex it must be for the original to look at the copy as well.
It’s still Rita, so why does QM Rita have the power to make all players who ca to Quiet Mountain before her look up to her?
Here, Cicada fears her, Mistblade and Maple Syrup write diaries about her, constantly discussing and docunting her!
Even without writing her na, just the word "she" is enough for anyone to know who she is, because only she is worth being recorded!
Even though everyone entered the ga late, why is there such a huge gap between them, as if she’s the inferior copy?
Do you think I’m afraid to play the Demon Ga? Then I’ll play more than you!
When there’s only one path left, all Rita’s thoughts focus on how to achieve her goal.
The first ti she played the Demon Ga, she stayed for 7 hours, but when she left the ga, only 10 minutes had passed in Quiet Mountain. The sa 10 minutes passed for the Quiet Mountain player who also exited the ga. QM Mistblade’s diary even ntioned that sotis the Demon Ga could last for months.
This ans the Demon Ga’s ti and Quiet Mountain’s ti are separate.
Stopping ti in Quiet Mountain does not affect the Demon Ga’s ti...
And the condition to beco a formal player is to "complete 10 Demon Gas," so would the sa ga count multiple tis?
Calming down, she activated ti stop with 5 seconds left before 6:01 AM.
At this point, anyone who needed to enter the ga should have already entered, and the best training target for her should be in the ga—QM Rita!
The first ti she left the Demon Ga, Quiet Mountain’s ti stop wasn’t interrupted, and her behavior of entering and leaving the ga didn’t affect any players.
And when she reentered during ti stop, the notification still appeared...
[Welco Tourist Player SS Rita into the Demon Ga. The number of Demon Gas completed: 1]
This ga’s rules are the sa as the previous one...
This ans, during her "Waste Guide," she could enter the Demon Ga repeatedly, like being trapped in a ti loop.
