GAME DEVELOPER SYSTEM

The monster looked like a mixture of a several creatures: a lion, with the paws of a bird, the wings of a dragon, its mouth opened like a strange plant, full of teeth, while on its back was an apparently female torso, but the demonic form of this body only faintly resembled what had once been a woman, as this thing's skin was covering most of the face and creeping up like tentacles onto the head to act as hair.

[WTF!!!]

[That monster is Rank F?!]

[Bruh, I've never seen such a grotesque monster like this even on Rank D game livestreams!!]

Looking at the gigantic monster in front of him, Martian felt his body go cold. Despite being an E Rank Player, someone who normally dealt with more powerful and frightening monsters than F Ranks, seeing this giant monster in front of him, for a second, Martian's mind went blank.

While Martian's mind was slowed down, Dimitrescu took the opportunity to fly towards him and with the big claws that the monstrous part of her had and grabbed Martian's body while flying with him. Feeling those claws cutting into his skin, Martian finally woke up, and with the knife in hand, he started to cut her paws.

Unfortunately, he had let the knife he took from the coffin fall over the cliff, as it was clear that the knife he currently had didn't come close to the damage the other knife dealt. But by using as much strength as he could, Martian finally managed to open a wound in the creature's paw, making Dimitrescu let go of him and letting him fall onto one of the castle's towers.

Unlike the original game where the battle would always take place in the same place, Gabe configured things so that depending on the Player's reaction and how they would act against Dimitrescu, the location of the battle would be changed, as it would not make sense for her to always drop the Player in the same place regardless of whether they acted in a different way or not.

In the original game, Ethan always acted the same way because that was just a programmed cutscene, but in Gabe's game it was totally free movement. This allowed the Player to change some results and adapt in a better way for the battles. So Gabe had to make other places where the Player could fall and continue the battle, without it affecting the development of the future story.

Coincidentally, Martian had fallen on top of the tower that Ethan would fall on in the normal game, so since he didn't know anything about it, he just looked around confused as he saw the monstrosity flying towards him while screaming.

"Arrrgh, how dare you hurt me?! Know that only Mother Miranda has seen this true form of mine, and I'll make sure only she knows about it!" Dimitrescu screamed in rage, looking at the blood that was seeping from the wound on her leg.

But Martian was even more worried when he saw that the wound he had made on her was healing fast.

'Damn it, I need to kill her before she recovers completely,' Martian thought as he took his shotgun and shot the monster.

As the monster was huge, Martian hardly missed a shot, but he began to notice something was wrong. The shots that hit the beast part were healing much faster than the shots that hit the human part that was on the back of it.

'I have to shoot the human part of her!' Martian quickly understood and started focusing all of his shots on the human part.

Dimitrescu also noticed this and started using the beast part to protect the human part of her, thus not being as easy of a target Martian. Despite some shots hitting the human part of Dimitrescu, Martian could see that it was recovering very fast. Even if he kept shooting her at the same rate, there was a chance he would still die when the ammunition ran out.

Looking around in despair, he was shocked to see that Dimitrescu had flown away from the tower and started to summon hundreds of insects that were flying around it.

"How dare you try to save your daughter at the cost of killing mine?!" Dimitrescu screamed furiously.

Martian was outraged by this and shouted back. "It was your daughters who tried to kill me first!"

But Dimitrescu just laughed as she answered, "I don't mind, human. Now you will join your daughter! You can run but not hide!"

When she finished screaming that, Martian saw those hundreds of insects flying towards him. Even though they were just small insects, due to the amount of insects that were flying around him, Martian started to feel his skin being cut up all over his body.

In desperation, Matian grabbed the shotgun and fired a shot at the insect cloud, which luckily dispersed it. With no time to think, the pain made Martian instinctively pick up the medicine bottle he had and start squirting it all over his body.

In a few seconds the pain subsided, but Dimitrescu, who was just flying and watching from afar, returned to try to eat Martian. Seeing that most of her wounds had healed, Martian was worried, but he wasted no time in shooting the human part of her at all costs.

In that desperate moment, Martian thought that if he hit that human part's head, the damage he would do would be even greater, as its healing rate wouldn't keep up with the damage done in a single point. If her brain had really stayed there, this would be his only chance to make sure she was killed.

Bang!

Martian was quick and used the maximum of his concentration to aim the shots at her head while running away from the monstrous part below her that tried to bite him at all costs. Due to the focus he was being forced to have, unbeknownst to Martian, his Mana was absorbing this shooting experience rapidly and improving his ability to aim and use firearms extremely quickly. The emotion he felt, the fear that made his heart race, the adrenaline his body wanted to release, all these were heavily influencing Martian's shooting skill, which during this boss battle was able to increase much more than than in a few hours of ordinary gameplay.

After just a few minutes of battle, Martian was quickly running out of ammo, but he could see, her head was almost destroyed. Just one more shot and he would have her dying. He knew that her head was where her brain was, because since he started shooting there, her whole body had slowed down bit by bit.

Bang!

The last shot rang out, causing Dimitrescu to stagger, but she didn't give up. With one of her monstrous claws, she grabbed Martian and dragged him with her to fall into a hole. She understood that she would probably die, but she was sure Ethan would also die from the damage from the fall.

Martian, who was feeling the free fall, didn't know what to do. He also understood Dimitrescu's idea and had to admit, the woman was smart, knowing how to take advantage of his hesitation by getting close to him.

"I think I'm going to die..." Martian commented to the audience on the livestream.

Dimitrescu was making sure to hold Ethan below her, which would ensure he took as much fall damage as possible.

But she didn't imagine that there was a big boulder sticking out of the walls of the hole, pushing her slightly aside as she fell.

On reflex, Dimitrescu opened the claw that held Ethan, as she lifted it before trying to grab one of the walls. Even though she was falling, she still managed to slow down her fall a bit, but she didn't notice something: As she raised the claw, Martian clung to that claw and was also thrown upwards, slowing his fall, and to Dimitrescu's dismay, Martian managed to balance himself in the fall and land on top of the monster's back, landing in front of the human part of her.

Even though there was only the waist-up part of her body attached to the monster, it was still as big as Ethan as he was standing, showing just how tall this woman was before she shifted.

But Martian paid no attention to this.

Bang!

With the last ammunition in his shotgun, Martian took advantage of the fact that they were close to falling to the ground and shot her while jumping up, using her body as support. This didn't slow down the speed of his fall at all, but it still served as an aid, while the big body of the Dimitrescu monster served as a support to hold him. Fortunately, this monster was made of meat, which absorbed most of the impact, but the fall still left Martian a little dizzy and with some pain around his body.

But those pains were ignoreable due to the dopamine he was feeling from having finally killed this monster!

"I did it!" Martian finally declared as he started screaming in excitement at having killed such a powerful monster!

[Wooooah!]

[OMG Martian, I can't believe you did it!]

[What an epic battle, it even seems like a battle that Rank C players would face!]

[Are you sure this is just an F Rank game?!]

[Anyone who has the nerve to say that this game was made by only an F Rank Developer will have to accept my fury!]

[I agree, EA is definitely not just a simple Rank F Developer!]

[This is the game made by a genius!]

[Yes! A genius from Sandstone Bay!]

[I'm so excited!]

[Martian seems so handsome after having killed that monster!]

[Martian, what did you think of the battle?]

That last comment was made by a user who had never commented on the livestream before, but as soon as that comment came up, all other comments stopped, not because the question was so interesting, as many people asked for the Players' opinion while they were playing the game, but what caught the viewers' attention the most was the name of the account that made that comment.

[Electronic Arts]

Seeing that the person who made this comment was EA himself, the Developer who made this game so wonderful, despite the excitement they were feeling, the viewers were very polite as they kept quiet and quickly stopped commenting, leaving only EA's comment as last until Martian answered.

That was pretty amazing, as there were over 4,000 people on the livestream after the battle was over. Getting those 4,000 people to stop commenting just by seeing his name was something that took even Gabe by surprise.

Martian wasn't focusing on the chat at the moment, but when he looked at the chat and saw that there were no new messages coming in, he thought it was a bug. But when he read the last chat message and saw the name of the one who sent it, even he felt the hairs on his body stand on end as his excitement rose.

"Are you really the EA?" Martian tried to confirm, while trying to hide his excitement.

[Yes, I came to watch your livestream when I noticed that you were the first streamer to face Lady Dimitrescu.]

Seeing EA's response, Martian was even more excited, especially when he learned that the way he was playing had attracted the attention of the Game Developer!

"Great, great! You can ask anything Mr. EA! I'll answer everything with great pleasure!" Martian responded as he sat on Dimitrescu's corpse that had dried up and turned into a statue.

Gabe didn't care too much about only asking the one question and decided to ask Martian some questions about his battle experience and things he thought while playing, as well as giving some explanations to the curious Players that came up from time to time.

Martian's livestream that had 4k viewers when the battle ended, not only did he not lose viewers when he finished the battle, but the amount of viewers increased to 10k people and kept rising!

Everyone was curious about this EA, which for the first time appeared publicly while talking to people. The livestream that was focused on Martian had now completely shifted its focus to the chat, where Electronic Arts was talking to these people!
