For Starters, A Thousand Years (2)

As time went on, I could feel myself getting better and better at dodging Noir's attacks. However, for the record, I am still unable to properly move reflexively. I'm slowly approaching my target of perfection with each new death I achieve.

From my count, the 100,000th death was a milestone. Roughly a month had passed time-wise, after all. To celebrate it, I challenged myself to wear a blindfold for a few thousand deaths thereafter.

Of course, I died much faster. However, I did gain something from my little stunt.

"Limiting my vision enhanced my other senses."

With that realization, I ended up doing a "restricted play" instead. One after another, I limited my senses, starting with vision, and fought against Noir. My ass was literally handed to me as I did that!
