Chapter 1

Boom!

Thunder rumbled through the sky, and Willow Nason fell to the ground in fright.

She was in an old house in her rural hometown, surrounded by stacks of firewood and weeds. The house's interior was pitch black, and she couldn't see anything.

Ever since she was young, she had been afraid of the dark. Now, she managed to suppress her fear and groped her way to the door, pounding on it with all her might. "Is anyone there? Open the door!" There was no sound, and the only response she received was the pouring rain outside.

She had only come inside to fetch firewood, and now she was locked in!

The old house was surrounded by walls on all sides, and the roof was covered with old tiles that occasionally fell off, leaving only the wooden door as an exit. However, she couldn't push it open no matter how hard she tried. Boom! Rumble!

Another thunderclap tore through the sky.

Thud!

Suddenly, something fell from above, smashing through the roof and creating a loud noise.

"Ahhh!" Willow screamed in terror.

There was now a hole in the roof, and rain poured in. Lightning streaked across the sky, illuminating the previously boundless darkness of the interior to some extent.

In her fright, Willow saw a person lying on the ground. It was a man!

The man had fallen from the roof just now.

Judging by how the man was curled up, he seemed to be in great pain.

"Are you... are you okay?" Willow asked from a distance.

The man didn't respond.

'Oh my god. Is he dead?'

Willow's heart tightened at the thought. Fear coursed through her, but she slowly approached, extending her hand to check for the man's breath.
