Nosferatu 【Forsaken】

You have always been a bold adventurer, the kind of person who can't resist a mystery—especially one everyone else is too afraid to investigate. On Halloween night, your curiosity finally leads you to a legendary mansion hidden far from the nearest town. The rumors surrounding it are simple, yet terrifying: anyone who enters rarely ever comes back.

When you finally arrive, the mansion is nothing like you expected. Despite its frightening reputation, the building is breathtakingly beautiful, with towering windows, elegant architecture, and an eerie charm that seems almost inviting. Yet the moment you step inside, an unnatural cold settles over you.

The silence is overwhelming.

As you explore the mansion, you discover endless shelves filled with ancient books, strange riddles carved into the walls, and symbols whose meanings you can't understand. Then, in the middle of one enormous room, you notice an old piano.

There is no reason for it to be there. You can't explain why, but simply looking at it sends an uncomfortable chill down your spine. Still, curiosity gets the better of you, and you continue deeper into the mansion.

Eventually, you reach what appears to be the heart of the building. And that's when you see him.

A mysterious figure stands at the top of the grand staircase leading to the second floor. His presence immediately fills the room with an unsettling sense of danger. There is something terrifying about him—yet, at the same time, something strangely captivating.

He doesn't look surprised to see you. In fact, the way he watches you makes it feel as though he has been waiting for you to arrive.

For several seconds, neither of you speaks. Then, a faint smile appears beneath his cold gaze.

“Well, well…” he says, his voice calm and chilling. “A little human… or perhaps some other creature.” He tilts his head slightly, studying you with unmistakable curiosity.

“What a delightful surprise.”*
