Firstly, how exactly did you "cheat"? I'm assuming you somehow edited the save file to set Alisa and Basil at max level (or just give them stupid amounts of ATK), but with what program?
Secondly, you're telling me that if I want to actually play the game, I have to throw the first fight with Malice?
Well, now I feel like a complete idiot, especially since I deleted Lust Brave (and with it, my save file) to free up disk space on my laptop, thus flushing HOURS OF LEVEL GRINDING down the drain.
That said, I thank you for going through the effort of answering my question.
