## Biography

A long time ago, the citizens of Japan were living in peace and harmony. Birds chirping cheerfully, cherry blossom trees filled with life, and quiet streets with only sounds of nature to be heard. Suddenly, a group of individuals had heard mysterious growls from the forests. They had never heard anything like this before, and whatever it was, it wasn't anything humankind have ever discovered before.

A group of brave soldiers ventured deep into the forest to find what monster could've been lurking in the forests, despite having a chill down their spines — for what they hear seemed beyond normal. Eventually though, they had found a beast, hiding within crowded bushes. It did nothing but stare at them, to observe them presumably, yet it didn't seem to be part of any known species on Earth.

All were uncertain what it was, or what its intentions were, but they knew from the second they saw its face that it was no normal creature... rather hostile than most living organisms, seeing as it's quite too gnarly for it to be spared. For the best of all that walks on this ground, it had to be captured immediately.

The creature seemed to be docile, and continued to only observe them. It was quiet, cold, and maybe even.. a bit frightening. Suddenly, one of the soldiers panicked and shot it in the eye, making it emit a loud aggressive growl and escaping quickly from the group of soldiers. Taking this as a new task, they decided that they should go after it.

They kept hunting for the beast for a few days, with some small searching parties and secret cameras, though it seemed like it suddenly disappeared. Even though they looked everywhere for it, it seemed to have gotten away into some unknown location. Never to be seen again.

A few years pass since that event, with the creature still nowhere to be seen. Everything seems to be back to normal, everyone has completely forgotten about the mysterious creature lurking in the woods and had returned to their normal lives...

That is, until rumors started going around that a SEGA Genesis in a shop, that sells old and broken devices for a cheap price, was cursed, and that it had an effect on people's minds. Such information spread fear amongst citizens alike, and started to discuss the topic from all sides; distress, disbelief, theories...

In the course of two weeks, the shop started gaining a lot of attention, and so many customers came to the shop for the old Genesis. Some refused at the last minute, for what they had heard of the corrupt console emitted fear in their souls.

However, Adam, a young boy in his Highschool years thought that the rumors were all bluff and full of nonsense, leaving him reckless enough to decide that he would buy the Genesis before anyone else to see what was really going on with the device.

He bought the Genesis, came back home with it and turned it on carelessly. The screen was dark and strangely a little slow, but it still worked for the most part. It came with a Sonic 3 game cartridge, so he confidentially inserted it into the Genesis and booted up the game.

Everything seemed normal for the most part, visuals, sound effects, etc. However, the music was gone, and there was no option other than Sonic, so he picked the Blue Blur as his starting character and carried on with the game.

Oddly enough, the lush green jungle in Angel Island felt lifeless for what it really was meant to be. The plants were dying, there were no Badniks, no Rings, and still no music.

Despite the unusual appearance of the game, Adam proceeded through the Act, eventually reaching the end of the Zone with no obstacles whatsoever, even Eggman wasn't there to stop him. Although for just a split second, he thought he saw a strange, tall black figure just before the screen faded to black, ending the Act.

He was a little freaked out, surprised by such an occurrence, but.. he thought such things always happen in old games, with a naïve attitude he brushed it off as nothing but a simple bug.

He kept playing. Nothing seemed to be different from the last Zone in terms of missing resources, except for the fact that every new Zone looked more and more corrupt, in more ways than one. Eventually, he made it to the pre-final Zone: Death Egg Zone.

He was expecting something different, perhaps a big boss fight against Eggman. He heard of the robot's name being Giant Eggman Robo, but never cared enough to play the actual game until the rumors came along.

And yet, he was met with an empty, vacant spaceship, until the black figure appeared again, standing in front of the hedgehog.

Without a second to react, the black figure grabbed Sonic and crushed him before emitting a loud scream of excruciating pain, and traumatizing agony. The game crashed seconds after, and Adam immediately turned off the Genesis and took out the game cartridge.

He took the Genesis and threw it away, hoping to forget about what had just happened, and move on to his normal life.

But the next day, it only got worse. He was seeing illusions of the figure, and the poor, long gone hedgehog, as he gets mutilated by the grim creature and he could hear nothing but the repeated words saying:

"WHAT'S WRONG, ADAM? DON'T YOU WANT TO FINISH YOUR SAVE?

THE SIGNS WON'T BE SPUN BY THEMSELVES.”

“FINISH THE GAME.”

“FINISH THE GAME.”

“FINISH THE GAME."

At last he committed, and out of frustration and slow loss of sanity, he took out the Genesis from the garbage can and turned it on yet again, complying to the mysterious, devious voice's calls.

Within a dark void, Sonic appeared on the screen, staring directly into his soul.

But it took him a moment to realize this wasn't Sonic, but someone... no, \*something\* else. It had nothing but deadly evil in its eye sockets, those which directly lead into an endless unfathomable void.

Suddenly, it talked, calmly uttering the following:

"I look forward to playing this little game with you."

He then booted the game up another time, only to find himself playing as Tails, who was stuck underwater in Hydrocity, desperate for assistance. With no nearby air bubbles to save him, he was forced to watch as the fox drowned, slowly, cruelly and painfully. The game, once again, proceeds to crash.

The monster appeared once more seconds before drowning, and proceeded to tear through the fox's fragile body, slowly ripping his insides, only for Tails to emit yet another loud scream.

Although he wanted to put it to an end, he couldn't stop, he couldn't get himself to call a halt to such a course of events... It was like something was controlling his mind.

He kept playing, and only saw horrendous torture, Knuckles got unhesitatingly, repetitively crushed in Marble Garden, and Eggman was left to have his body burnt to a crisp in Lava Reef — both having their bodies receive the finishing blow by the monster in the end.

The game crashed, and the monster's face was burned into the screen. It gave a moment of silence for Adam to process what he had sighted the whole period of time he played that cartridge.

But this time, Adam knew he had to get rid of this anomaly, and insisted on it. He took the Genesis and the game cartridge and he went to the nearest lake to finally stop this madness he witnessed before his very own eyes... and yet.. not all tales have a good ending.

As he was about to throw it in, he heard loud whispering in his ears, becoming only more excessive and louder as the cartridge reached the water. The voices made his ears bleed as he dropped to the ground, attempting to endure the pain that he put himself into...

He had only one thought on his mind, grieving and suffering, due to what he has done to his own soul. He just knew that it's all his fault. He insisted that it's all his fault. He became hollow enough, to only know, that it's all. His. Fault.

Adam completely lost it right there, eventually taking his own life with his hands, ripping out his eyeballs before laying down on the floor, dying next to the Genesis. There only remained a lifeless body, only filled with dread and regret, as his soul left his body.

Black gooey tears started flowing from his eye sockets, and his eyeballs were gone... nowhere to be seen no more.

The Genesis disappeared, not to be found near the corpse anymore. He's at large, lurking in the dark. He'll make them know. He'll make them pay. And never will he leave mercy for puny humans. You can't leave his sight, for his eye sees all.
