Well, where do I start? This has been quite the journey, and it’s not been quite an enjoyable journey. I don’t know why I decided this was a good idea, but I suppose I wanted to do something different and push my limits. I wanted my first Hard demon to be different, and not a common level like Nine Circles. I know that one day, while trying to find a new level, I saw a guy on TikTok live playing Future Funk and something about the level got me interested. I did recognise the level from its iconic 99% chokepoint, and I remember this level causing that kid to have the highest HPM from this level. So, because of how stupid I am, I decided to start learning the level. By the time I got 37%, I knew that I was going to lock in and beat it. July was probably the best month of the year, getting 52%, 54% and then a massive jump to 76%. Then, on a stupid laggy live, I got 84%. For a while, I was stuck at 84%, until I had my first chance at 90% in September and died at 95%. Then, of course, I died at 99%. But this wasn’t the first one, I died here a second and third time. Then, one day in December of 2024, I beat the level and I thought everything was over…until I reviewed the footage. The whole clip was frozen on 1 frame and all you could hear was my reaction. I was gutted, but knew this meant I had to rebeat it. However, during early 2025, after Phobias was finished, my pc completely crashed and couldn’t be restored. In the end, everything had to be reset. I lost everything that I had, but I still had the progress on my phones account. (I have GD signed in on my phone incase I loose it on my pc) Though it was reset, my PC would often crash and reset, so I gave up December 22nd, on call to my girlfriend, I decided to turn my PC back on and it was slowly working. Bored, I decided to revisit Future Funk. By the end of the night, I had the level done it 2 runs (45% and 44-100) and I was stunned. For the first time in months, I had hope that I could rebeat it. So, I started recording once again, spending hours for the next 2 days grinding the level. But I still couldn’t do it, and got 2 99% deaths again. I wanted to beat it by Christmas, and on the 23rd I burned myself out because if the intense hours I spent trying to beat it. On the 24th, I was messing around on GD, playing my levels and having fun, when I remembered that I needed to play Future Funk. So I stopped everything and started playing. The first 5 attempts were all stupid deaths, but the 6th was different… In that moment, all the suffering was over. I finally beat the level I had spent almost 2 years stressing and raging over. I nearly cried because of how relieved and happy I was that I had FINALLY beat this level. I have to be the most unluckiest victory EVER and you will never see me rebeat this level ever again 😂 If you’re looking for your first Hard Demon: Please, just play Nine Circles 😭 Music used: Lovely - Billie Eilish and Khalid Cover by Rousseau • Billie Eilish & Khalid - lovely (Piano Cover) What’s a future funk? - LemmKuja • LemKuuja - What's a Future Funk?
