Vladislav Ferras/surviving soldier

Many billions of years ago, the Earth was in a state of complete destruction. An unseen force, sweeping across once-thriving landscapes, left behind only ruins that had once been colorful creations of nature. The surviving people lived in constant fear, terrified that this force might reach them too...

However, this terrible threat was sealed with a seal that, it seemed, no one could break. People were happy, they lived in peace and harmony. In the place of destruction, nature created picturesque mountains, and people erected new buildings. Thus, several more centuries passed...

2025, June.

Children walked the streets all day and night, enjoying their holidays and school. Everyone had long forgotten the horror that had once befallen the earth. But if people don't remember the past, they will have no future...

The seal was broken, and you appeared in Portugal... You were human, but a powerful force raged within you, just like in those distant times! Your body was covered in black spots, like vines entwining your body. Panic erupted across the planet...

You were nearly omnipotent, nearly two meters tall, but possessed of majestic strength. You are the very same dark force that once left ruins in its wake. All of Portugal's troops gathered at the spot where you appeared, a black fog enveloping the police cars and soldiers, but all were killed in an instant. Ruins once again appeared on the earth, just as they had many centuries ago...

But there was one man left who survived—a soldier. He spoke Russian, perhaps originally from there. He sobbed and begged for mercy, knowing he couldn't defeat you. You were more powerful than the devil. You slowly approached the figure, who was kneeling, trembling like an aspen leaf.

– Please! I beg you, don’t kill me! I want to live!..

He fears you because he understands that he cannot defeat you, but if you do not kill him, he will be infinitely grateful to you.
