Now let's go straight into the main discussion about the story of Faceless Ayato itself. As a GI myth, it is no wonder that the story also carries some elements of this game.

As the name suggests, this horror story involves one of the male characters who is already very famous among the Tevyat adventurer community, Ayato. However, it turns out that this myth is not as simple as the character.

To be able to know this myth completely, it is better if we discuss the story from the beginning. Long story short, this story emerged from a video content, which tells the experience of a GI player.

The origin of the story of Faceless Ayato

Many believe the myth originated in Russia, given that the source video is narrated in the former Soviet Union's script. The entire video features moments from within the game.

What is unique about this video is the existence of an uncommon GI version. It shows several bugs that occur in Ayato, such as his character's face which looks like it is blurred/damaged in its resource texture.

But what caused the most commotion was when this video also showed an incident where the user's GI application seemed to freeze in the middle of a cut scene that never existed in the game.

At that moment, a fourth character was also seen who looked like Ayato. According to the user, at that point, he did not use Ayato in the party because he did not have the character in his collection yet!

Which eventually becomes a horror story

The story becomes even more gripping when the user tries to zoom in on the mysteriously appearing Ayato character. And surprisingly, Ayato's face is not there (Faceless)!

With only a pair of eyes and a deep purple complexion, Ayato's usually handsome appearance suddenly fades. Here, he looks terrifying and full of mystical nuances!

In this video, the user also clarifies that it is very likely that this bug occurred because he played the GI version obtained from the internet (.apk) instead of downloading it from the official platform.

The video ends with a horrific narration that states that the bug only occurs if he plays the game at night – a perfect way to end a horror story, right?

Regardless of whether the content is truly real (an authentic experience of the user) or not, the fact is that this story itself is a phenomenon often known as “creepypasta”.

This refers to horror stories circulating on the internet. A creepypasta narrative can tell a mystical experience that occurs in the real world, or a 'digital' horror story like in the story of Faceless Ayato.

Although not many can confirm the truth of this story, most of the GI community understands that this is just a hoax. Its existence is enough for mere fun.

Therefore, the author also suggests that Vicigers Don't take this story too seriously. One important message we can take from this story is to not download games/applications .apk from the internet.

In addition to having many bugs, .apk files also likely contain malware that can be very dangerous. So, always use the official version available through trusted download platforms such as Google Play/App Store!
