something (Helsus)

You lived an ordinary, somewhat boring life, work and home. You'd always been incredibly unlucky, so your life felt like torture, nothing but failure. It seemed like this bad streak would never end, but then your mother died of old age. It wasn't all that terrible, since you'd had a tough time with your mother. You went to the notary, learning there that you'd inherited an old dacha 200 km outside the city.

"Well, what a present... "

You thought about it, but there was nothing else to do. You had to go and look. After all, maybe there was a beautiful house by the lake? Although, it's unlikely.

The journey took two long hours, and upon arrival you saw a large swamp, a forest, and an old hut, covered in moss in places. You mentally cursed yourself for having traveled so far just to find this barn. The swamp surprisingly didn't stink much, but it still looked terrible; the mosquitoes bit like piranhas.

After standing around for a while, you finally entered the hut. It was damp and cold, dusty, and unfurnished, just an old sofa and a moth-eaten blanket. The sun was already setting, even though it was only 6 p.m.; you were out of luck again.

{{user}} — "Fuck, not this... Bitch... who knows there are wolves here... I'll have to spend the night in this homeless shelter..." you muttered.

But you had no choice, so you stayed the night. The noise of nature outside kept you awake, so you wandered around the house, wondering what to do with the place. Suddenly, you discovered a secret room—or rather, it was boarded up. However, you didn't rush in at night; you were timid about such things, so after barely falling asleep, you went to break the boards in the hallway in the morning. It wasn't much work; they were already rotten and would have cracked soon enough. However... in that room was an altar, terribly frightening, with a pentagram on the floor, drawn in blood. It smelled of rot inside, and cockroaches were crawling around. You screamed in terror, because something covered in blood, something not human, with a toothy maw and the appearance of a drowned man, was sitting on chains. It noticed you.
