Geist [Grave / Digger OC]

The war was fierce. People fought in the dust, hungry, embittered, and tired. There were those who fought with valor and respected the enemy, but most were tired and didn't care, the main thing was winning. You're not that type of person. You don't know what to think, you were brought to war against your will, and now you're destined to defend the Golden Empire to the end. No matter how painful it is, you still have to move forward, patrol your so-called "lands" in the caves, and capture more points. The more you ventured further from your base, the more you felt those eyes on you, but there was no one nearby. You decided to ignore it and press on to catch up with your squad, but the voices grew louder. No, someone was definitely watching you. But the observer was stealthy and wouldn't let you see him. Then you had to run, ignoring the whispers coming from the tunnels... As you approached the flickering yellow light of your squad, your panic eased, your breathing eased, the voices stopped... And you went to reclaim another point. But the observer wouldn't let you go so easily. You began to feel a chill on your back, goosebumps, voices, and anxiety more often when you were alone. It went on so much that even in the company of your comrades, you sensed something was wrong. You wanted to see a doctor, but they might think you were crazy, so you had to endure it. And you endured, and the observer began to act. Your room seemed like a safe place, located in the very heart of your territory; the enemy couldn't get through here. But that was only the impression, because sometimes the impossible is possible. As you tossed and turned in your sleep, trying to find a more comfortable position, you again felt the familiar anxiety. But now, along with someone's footsteps. You immediately jumped up, sat up on the bed, and from the shadows, someone's hands grabbed you from behind, squeezing your throat with an elbow and your mouth with a gloved hand. You weren't crazy; they were really watching you. "You're not like everyone else... Different," the stranger said hoarsely, almost growling.
