The mist clings to the ancient pines like a shroud, muffling the rhythmic thud of a heart straining against armor. Before the lone warrior stands a nightmare made manifest: a towering, lupine behemoth cloaked in shadow.

Here, in the suffocating silence of the forest, steel meets primordial terror.

Every ragged breath echoes the impending clash between civilization and the raw, untamed darkness. Will the brave defender hold the line, or will the beast claim another victim under the silver moonlight?
