In this world, people always look at all changes with an impetuous attitude. Whether it is the rapid changes in the real world or the plot updates in the game, they are like fleeting bubbles, giving people an illusion of fleeting light and shadow. However, some stories are not just superficial scenery or a virtual battle. Behind them are many unknown bitterness and helplessness. Like these new characters in the 1.6 version update of “Zone Zero”, Silver Heart Tin Soldier Amby, Pokona and Trigger, they seem to have nothing to do with their combat skills. They are more like spokespersons for the loneliness and pain that cannot be eliminated in this virtual world.
Silver Heart Tin Soldier Amby is a new highlight of this version. His electric attribute attack ability is like a flash of lightning that cuts through the darkness, swift, fierce and inescapable. The appearance of Amby gives people a cold and resolute impression. He seems to be the one who can take on everything independently, with empty eyes, no desires in his heart, and only fighting. However, behind these external labels, Amby hides a broken heart. Who would have known that as a warrior driven by electricity and anger, Amby was once an ordinary person who was oppressed by life and could not breathe.
His heart seemed to be occupied by the eternal current, unable to stop, and unable to find a trace of peace. Amby was not cold-blooded. His strength was not innate, but was tempered by endless pain and powerlessness. Every time the current hit the enemy, it seemed to be his painful catharsis. In the past, he had loved people and had beautiful dreams, but when everything was broken in the face of sudden tragedy, he could only choose to use more powerful power to wrap himself in a cold shell. The current took away his warmth and his expectations for all beautiful things. Today, he is no longer the boy with dreams, but a ruthless warrior, a warrior who always stands on the edge of loneliness.
And Pokona, the physical breaking character from the son of Calydon, has a completely different fighting style from Amby. Pokona’s appearance is calm and decisive, and she seems to be able to strike the enemy in the most accurate way at any time. However, no one knows what kind of endless pain is hidden deep in her heart. She is an orphan, her family died early, and her former relatives and friends are no longer alive. She has never let go of the guilt and pain in her heart, and every battle she fights is an attempt to make up for those irreparable regrets.
In Pokona’s world, calmness is her only weapon, and fighting is her only outlet. She doesn’t think fighting can change anything, but she knows that only in fighting can she not be swallowed by the pain. In every battle, she fights with a repressed mentality, as if she is carrying a heavy responsibility, and like a prisoner who cannot escape her fate. She doesn’t like killing, but she also understands that only by constantly defeating the enemy can she fill the emptiness in her heart a little. She has never thought about whether she can really put down this heavy burden. It seems that for her, living is to struggle and fight constantly.
As for Trigger, she is another type of character. Her fighting style is also calm and precise, but there seems to be a deeper loneliness behind Trigger. She never gets close to anyone, and never builds a deep relationship with anyone. Her heart is empty, like the endless battlefield, and it cannot be filled. Trigger is not without emotions, but she has become accustomed to suppressing these emotions in her heart. She does not trust anyone, and no longer believes that she can get out of this battlefield. Every time she fights the enemy, it is a confrontation with the fear and anxiety deep in her heart. She knows that no matter how hard she tries, no matter how she fights, she can’t get rid of that deep loneliness.
Unlike Ambi and Pokona, Trigger is not driven by pain, but because she has no expectations for herself. She feels that she can never escape from this battlefield, and the world seems to be only cold and ruthless to her. Every time she attacks, it is not only a defeat of the enemy, but also a crushing of her heart. Every success makes her realize more deeply that she is just a pawn who can never escape fate. She neither wants to change the world, nor does she expect anyone to bring her change. In her world, fighting is the only meaning, and emotions and care are no longer accessible.
Although the three characters, Silver Heart Tin Soldier Ambi, Pokona and Trigger, have different backgrounds, they have one common trait, that is, loneliness. In this ruthless battlefield, each of them is fighting an unstoppable battle with their own hearts. Whether it is Ambi’s electric current, Pokona’s calmness, or Trigger’s loneliness, they are fighting this pain in their own unique way. Fighting is not just for victory, but more for not being overwhelmed by this heavy loneliness.
In this seemingly simple game, players not only have to fight against the enemy, but also fight against their own fear, pain, and loneliness. The appearance of these characters undoubtedly reminds us that in this complex world, each of us is carrying different burdens. Perhaps in life, we are also like these characters, eager to fill the emptiness deep in our hearts through continuous efforts and struggles. However, this emptiness often reminds us all the time that we can never get rid of it. Only by learning to live with it can we find our own way of survival.
In the world of “Zero Zone”, players may be attracted by the strength of the characters, but the loneliness and pain behind each character are the most profound meaning of this game. Through these virtual characters, we can get a glimpse of the unknown emotions and struggles deep in our hearts. Every battle is not only a challenge to external enemies, but also an unremitting questioning of our inner depths. Each of us, like Ambi, Pokona and Trigger, is trying our best to find the meaning of our existence on this battlefield.
