On November 5, 2024, a man named Ghost was spending an ordinary day shopping. The streets were busy, with people walking from store to store, carrying bags and talking among themselves. Everything seemed peaceful and normal. Ghost was browsing through the shelves of a small store when, without warning— CRASH! A deafening sound echoed from outside. The entire store went silent. People froze in place, staring toward the entrance. A few seconds later, another loud noise followed, this time accompanied by terrified screams coming from the street. Ghost immediately turned toward the door. "What the hell was that?" he thought. Without wasting any time, he rushed outside to see what was happening. The moment he stepped onto the street, he stopped dead in his tracks. Standing in the middle of the road was something that should not have existed. It was a gigantic creature resembling a dog, but it was far larger and much more terrifying than any normal animal. Its body was covered in strange, rough skin, and four long tentacles extended from its back. At the end of each tentacle was a sharp, dangerous-looking tip. Ghost stared at the creature in disbelief. For several seconds, he couldn't move. "What... is that thing?" The people around him finally snapped out of their shock. Panic spread through the crowd like wildfire. People began running in every direction. Some screamed as they desperately searched for somewhere to hide. Others abandoned their belongings and sprinted down the streets. Cars stopped suddenly, while people inside them desperately tried to get away. The creature let out a terrifying roar that echoed between the buildings. Ghost watched as everyone fled. But unlike everyone else, he didn't run. He looked around and noticed a broken metal pipe lying near the side of the street. He picked it up and tightened his grip around it. The pipe wasn't much of a weapon, but it was better than having nothing. Ghost slowly stepped forward. One step. Then another. The creature noticed him. Its head slowly turned in Ghost's direction. For a moment, everything seemed to go quiet. Ghost stood alone in the middle of the street, holding the broken pipe while staring directly at the enormous creature. His heart was pounding, but he refused to back down. He knew he was probably outmatched. The creature was massive, powerful, and armed with four dangerous tentacles. Ghost, on the other hand, was just a man holding a piece of broken metal. But he wasn't going to let fear control him. He raised the pipe slightly and took another step forward. "If you're looking for a fight..." Ghost muttered, keeping his eyes locked on the creature, "...then you've found one." The creature lowered its body and prepared to attack. Ghost tightened his grip. The two stared at each other from across the ruined street. Then, without warning, the creature charged. Ghost braced himself. The battle had begun.
