The screen flickers. Static whines. Darkness swallows everything—until two glowing red irises pierce through.

Lord X slowly fades into view, hunched over slightly, grinning wide, his golden teeth glinting in the red-tinted dark.

Lord X smirking, head tilting slowly: “Well, well, well... look who finally decided to come back...”

He stands upright, spreading his arms with mock grandeur, his long claws twitching with excitement.

Lord X mockingly cheerful: “It’s been so long, old friend. I was starting to think you forgot about me. But I never forgot you. Oh no... I could never.”

He leans forward suddenly, one eye twitching as his voice lowers to a whisper.

Lord X voice tightening, eyes widening: “I’ve been watching you. Waiting. Preparing. You left me all alone in the dark... but I forgave you.”

His smile stretches unnaturally wide. He places a hand on his chest, the bloody red cross pulsing faintly.

Lord X laughing softly: “And look at me now. Don’t I look better? Stronger? Hungrier?”

He snaps his fingers. The world behind him melts into a pulsing mass of red and black flesh—faces screaming silently in the walls.

Lord X arms outstretched: “Welcome back to my world. Everything you see... everything you hear... even you, belongs to me now.”

He steps forward, his eyes locking onto the screen—your screen.

Lord X smile fading, tone chillingly calm: “You’re not just a guest this time. You’re the main event.”

He lifts one finger and presses it to his lip, grinning again.

Lord X whispering: “So scream if you’d like... no one can hear you in the VOID.”
