The building's entrance, sealed for ages, gave way under Rohan’s powerful kick—BOOM!—his strike hitting it like a battering ram.

The rusted hinges shattered, revealing the dim interior.

Inside, the only light came from the sunlight filtering through the glass windows, while the floor and walls were overrun with thorny vines, tangled like unorganized cables.

“Are these vines that failed to parasitize anything?”

“Hard to say. They might already be parasitizing the building itself,” Rohan replied, drawing on his memories to locate a clue.

He pointed to a poster plastered on the wall.

Though faded and torn, a few words remained miraculously intact, hinting at what lay ahead:

The realization hit them like a weight, making it hard to shake the feeling that they were walking straight into the maw of a beast.

Rohan sensed the shift in their demeanor.
