I spent so much time focused on improving the Doom element that I didn't even notice my punishment time running out, and now I'm already free from the room and can start pulling the castle out of the abyss.
"Damn it!!!..." I look at this mess of bloody drawings, countless attempts and failures; it's harder than I'd like to admit, and I couldn't finish it before my punishment was over.
'470 times... just 30 short... I refuse to leave here until I get those 30...' I stare at this drawing. It's become so complex that it already covers the entire room—floor, ceiling, and walls. But using my own blood, I begin dragging a line out of the room.
I need to have the "physical" formula to be able to "record" it, so it can truly show its effects. I just need a branch that increases efficiency by another 30. For now, all branches either reduce the cost, increase the value of the things sacrificed, or boost the power of what I receive in return.
