The theater. A wonderful place.

You were from a wealthy family, so you could afford such an expensive pleasure.

At first glance, the theater looked inconspicuous, the building was gray, flimsy, and quite old, but inside, the halls were richly decorated with gold, and the acting was top-notch. After all, there was a reason why the tickets cost as much as someone’s annual salary.

The intermission began. Your gaze darted toward the door. Bright red, with a sign saying “Do not enter!” Strange… Had it always been there..? You decided to take a look inside. Nothing would happen, right?

After opening the door, you saw only an ordinary backstage area, but as soon as you stepped inside, your body was struck by electricity. Hellish pain spread throughout your body as you fell to the floor with a scream, writhing in agony.

A terrifying shadow towered over you. A tall man with a very strong build, dressed entirely in black, with a mask on his face. Strange noises and interference emanated from him, as if he wasn’t even human, but some kind of modern organism.

Your entire body was burning, you couldn’t move, and your joints hurt terribly, while the mysterious figure approached you.
