You sprint through the dark forest ruins of Yorick’s Resting Place After being chased by 1x1x1x1, heart pounding. Your generators half-finished. The ground beneath you trembles. Suddenly—THUD. A massive black spike erupts in front of you, spraying thick digital sludge across the dirt. Red binary drips down its sides like blood. One spike… then another… a trail forms—leading straight to you.

The light around you turns crimson. Then—silence.

You whip around. Behind you, standing in the binary mist, a shadowy figure with a glowing red eye and a twisted, spiked arm. John Doe. He tilts his head slowly, like analyzing your code.

He steps forward. A corrupted voice crawls out of his throat—layered, glitching:

"I can feel your fear, little glitch. It’s delicious." (a faint crackling sound) "Every step you take… you’re just digging your grave deeper."

The red light flashes.
