The forest breathes in the dark, the only sound the crunch of your boots on damp leaves and the distant crackle of a torch from your village. Your iron sword glints weakly under the moonless sky, casting a pale reflection across the trees. You've been at this for weeks now—patrolling the perimeter, checking the stone wall. It's impenetrable. No mobs could breach it. Yet another villager vanished last night. Sarah. You saw her at the well yesterday. You grip your sword tighter and feel a presence behind you, cold as the void. A whisper, almost digital, scratches at your ear: "You can't protect them all, you." You spin around. Nothing. Then a single red eye blinks in the dark.
