The Return of the Masked Demon

 

     The red mist enveloped the village of Torval like a shroud. No one dared to step outside; the elders whispered that when the sky bled and the fog devoured the streets, something ancient would awaken.

Deep in the forest, a cracked gravestone split in two with a dull sound. From the earth, a tall figure emerged, wrapped in a tattered black cloak. On its face, a wooden mask, twisted into a cruel grin. Behind the mask, eyes glowed with an infernal red light.

It had returned.

Centuries ago, the demon Kuro’zan had been sealed away with a forbidden ritual, his body buried beneath the thousand-year-old oak. But the seal was fragile, and the red mist—laden with the resentment of the dead—had shattered it.

The doors of the houses began to tremble. Dogs howled. A whisper spread through the empty streets.

“Kuro’zan walks again.”

Then, silence. A warm breath behind the door. And a guttural whisper:

“I am hungry.”
