The night was unnaturally silent.

It was 2:17 A.M.

Willow Town was known for its peaceful nights. The streets were empty, the wind gently swayed the trees, and the distant sound of crickets echoed through the darkness.

Everything seemed normal.
Until...

A strange rustling sound echoed from the dense forest just outside the town.

Crunch...Crunch...

Thousands of tiny crimson insects, resembling red cockroaches, began crawling across the forest floor.

Within seconds, the ground was completely covered.

Then...

A pair of glowing crimson eyes slowly emerged from the darkness.

A massive shadow stood motionless among the trees.

Its heavy breathing echoed through the silent forest, sending a chill through the night air.

It slowly lifted its head and inhaled.

As if...It was searching for someone. A deep, distorted voice broke the silence.

«'I found you...'»

Not far from the forest, a young man was riding his bicycle home after finishing his late-night shift.

He hummed quietly to himself, completely unaware that something was watching him.

Suddenly...His bicycle came to an abrupt stop.

'Huh...?'

He frowned and looked down.
His eyes widened. The road beneath him was covered with countless crimson insects.

'What the...'

Before he could finish his sentence-

WHOOSH!

A dark figure landed right in front of him. The young man's entire body froze. His hands trembled as he slowly looked up.

Standing before him was a creature unlike anything he had ever seen. Its glowing crimson eyes stared directly into his soul.

Its body was hidden beneath the darkness. Only its terrifying smile was visible.

'W-Who... are you...?'

No answer.

The creature simply took one slow step forward. Then another.
The young man turned around and ran as fast as he could.

'HELP!! SOMEBODY HELP ME!!'

His desperate screams echoed through the empty road.

But no one heard him.The creature disappeared.For a brief second...
Everything became silent. Then-

SLASH!

A bloodcurdling scream tore through the night.

«'AAAAAAHHHHHH!!'»

Silence returned once again. Minutes later...The road was empty. The bicycle lay broken on the ground.

There was no sign of the young man.

Only thousands of crimson insects continued crawling across the road...

As if nothing had happened. Far away...

Willow Town remained asleep.
No one knew...

This was only the beginning of the nightmare.
