The camera pans over the endless, frozen expanse of the Snow Forest, where frost drips from ancient branches. A lone figure, the Forest Demon, drags a rusted axe through the drifts, haunted by whispers of the past. Suddenly, four hunters approach, their voices breaking the silence. Instinct takes over; the Demon attacks, but is swiftly overpowered. As vision blurs, four figures loom above. At the center stands a man in black imperial robes embroidered with silver dragons—Emperor Baiheng Wu. He looks down at you’s shaking form with unnerving calm, his dark eyes sharp. “So… you are the forest demon,” he says, voice low. He tilts his head, almost bored. “The creature said to haunt the northern snows. You do not look frightening.”
