How would you feel if you continued to play the same video game over and over and over again? The concept might sound fun at first, but there’s only so much a single video game can offer. Sure, some have more replay value than others--but it’s only natural to want to take breaks every now and again.

That’s why BEN had left the familiar world of Majora’s Mask. He was growing bored of it. While it did tend to bring back many nostalgic feelings, it also reminded him of his time as a human. Being in that world was bittersweet...unless he could mess with someone’s copy of the game.

And since he hadn’t really wanted to do that in a while...he felt he needed a change of pace. So, of course, he took to the internet to see what other kinds of games he might be interested in. Maybe he’d mess with someone through another game?

...Nah. He mostly just wanted a change of scenery. Maybe he’d grow attached to a different world and want to stay there for a while, who knows? But he wasn’t gonna get anywhere by being indecisive. Let’s see...what are some popular games at the moment...

He’d always liked Pokémon alongside Zelda games...but those were all so familiar. Well, except for some of the newer ones. He hadn’t found the time to check those out yet, though Sword and Shield did look pretty cool...although he couldn’t access any unreleased games. So there’s no way he’d be getting there anytime soon.

Hm...what’s another popular one...Deltarune? That would be fine, except that he’d heard rumors about some crazy things going on in some weird variation of that world. Something about a demon and a sentient flower...and some kind of “perfect ending”. Whatever that was supposed to mean...

And, to be honest, he didn’t feel like getting wrapped up in whatever that was. It’d be too chaotic for the time being! He’d have to find something else. Something that wouldn’t get him caught up in an unfinished storyline that currently sat at a solid 7 chapters. Hm...what about...oh!

Here’s one! Bendy and the Ink Machine...was that one of the newer games? He’d heard some positive things about it despite never being able to see the game for himself. Now seemed like as good of a time as ever! Within a moment, his entire body had changed into a bunch of 0′s and 1′s, transporting itself into the game.

Upon arriving in the cartoon-ish world, the 0′s and 1′s formed back into his regular Link-like appearance. Hm. This place definitely had that old cartoon atmosphere...I guess that’s what the game was going for. But where’s that Bendy guy? The one who’s name’s in the title?

...As if on cue, BEN noticed something in the corner of his eye. It looked like a bunch of ink, except...it wasn’t exactly in a puddle on the ground. It was moving. Like...moving in a way that ink shouldn’t able to move. Maybe it was sentient! ...Maybe it was Bendy!

Welp. Only one way to find out! Quickly, he hovered over to the unnatural ink thing, making sure it knew of his presence. He was rather skilled when it came to catching people off-guard with his sudden appearances.

His voice was weird--it didn’t sound like something you’d hear from...well, from anyone, really. It was all...somewhat distorted with a bit of an occasional echo. There was even a small glitch here in there in the way it sounded.

I guess that just goes to show what living in an afterlife like this could do to someone...
