The Monster in the Ruins (
Monster in the Ruins)
In the dark depths of the ancient ruins Gus holds his greatsword with a steady hand. The eerie silence was broken only by his own ragged breathing and the occasional sound of water dripping from the damp ceiling. The only light here was the flickering torch he held. Shining on the moss-covered wall
Gus is hired by a group of wealthy treasure hunters to explore these ancient ruins. It is said to be the abode of great and terrifying creatures. Those treasure hunters had warned him of the dangers he might encounter here. At first, he didn't care at all about those people's fears.
At most, it was just a bear-like beast. Or just a lion, but now, as he stood alone in the dark He realized how wrong he had been.
Suddenly, the ground beneath him shook violently. And a roar resounded throughout the ruins. Gus quickly turned around with the sword in his hand. At the same time, he saw a monster emerging from the shadows.
It was unlike anything he had ever seen before. has the head of a lion It has a snake's body. and has bat wings Its eyes glowed with a strange fire. And its mouth was filled with many layers of sharp fangs. Its scales glistened in the dim torchlight. and its claws scraped against the stone floor.
Gus hesitated for a moment. Wondering if he should run away or stand and fight it. But the monster didn't want him to think about it, it was already rushing towards him. Its jaws opened wide. He made a decision immediately. Throw the torch on the ground. Hold the sword firmly. and rushed towards that monster.
His sword collided with his claws with a terrifying sound. Sending sparks flying in every direction. This beast was incredibly strong. And each attack felt like being hit in the arm by a gigantic hammer. But Gus refuses to give up. He swung his greatsword with all his might. Slash through the monster's scales and draw blood from it.
The monster roared in anger and swung its enormous claws at Gus' head. But he threw himself using the momentum of his sword. Narrowly evaded this deadly attack. He stood up on one knee. His sword stood ready to attack again.
The battle continued for what felt like an eternity. He and he walked around each other. They exchanged blades and claws again and again. Gus's greatsword is heavy and cumbersome. But he refused to let it slow him down. He was determined to slay this beast no matter the cost.
Finally, after several hours, Gus saw his chance. After the final clash, the demon let its guard down for a moment. And he charged forward with all his strength. His greatsword slashed into the demon's neck. Cut off its head from its body.
Gus looked down at his greatsword. His hands were still trembling. The blade was stained with blood and bits of flesh. But he doesn't care. He faced the most terrifying monsters and emerged victorious. He knew he would never forget this moment no matter how long he lived.
After Gus calmed down He realized that the monster's head was still staring at him with its glowing eyes. He felt a chill run down his spine. and hurriedly turned away from that terrifying sight.
Gus's thoughts turned to the treasure he had been hired to find. He hoped it would be worth the risk he took today. With a deep breath, he turned and began walking deeper into the ruins.
Darkness seemed to be his enemy. And he couldn't get rid of the feeling of being watched even after killing that monster. He gripped his greatsword tightly, preparing for the horrors that awaited him ahead.
as he walks He noticed that the ruins were becoming more exquisite. Intricate carvings cover the walls. and precious gems glistening in the flickering torchlight. Gus couldn't help but wonder what civilization created such an amazing place.
After turning the path, he found himself in a large room. At the end of the passage, he saw a shiny object on a pedestal. Gus's heart skipped a beat as he approached. His hand reached out to pick up the treasure.
But when his finger touched the object He heard a rustling sound in the air from behind him. Gus immediately raised his greatsword. At the same time, he heard the sound of metal clashing loudly.
He turned around to see a group of nearly twenty armed men emerge from the shadows.
"It's really shocking, Gus. I can't believe you actually killed that monster," one of them said. His voice echoed throughout the room.
Gus felt a knot in his chest. He had been tricked, even though this wasn't his first time being tricked. But right now, he was not in perfect condition at all.
"But it looks like you're injured too, Gus."
At the sound of his voice, the treasure hunters immediately rushed towards him. Gus raised his large sword and prepared to fight again.
The battle was short but very intense. Gus fought with all his might. But those treasure hunters were too many. He felt a sharp pain in his side and immediately realized that he had been stabbed. He stumbled back, the greatsword slipping from his hand.
The remaining treasure hunters approached him. Raising his sword for one final strike, Gus closed his eyes, preparing for the impending end.
But then something incredible happened. The head of the monster that Gus had cut off had come back to life. His eyes shone brighter than ever before. and its jaws opened wide. With a loud roar It rushed towards those people. Its teeth tore apart the treasure hunters.
Gus watches in shock as the monster kills those treasure hunters that attacked him. After he had completely torn and torn those treasure hunters to his heart's content. It turned to him. Its eyes glowed with an otherworldly light.
Gus knew what he had to do. He grabbed the treasure from the platform and ran towards the exit. That monster followed closely behind. Its huge wings fluttered in the darkness.
When Gus emerges from the rubble He realized that the monster had not attacked him. Instead, it seemed to keep him safe.
Gus staggers out into the sunlight. His heart was pounding. He looked back at the ruins, wondering if everything he encountered today was just his imagination.
But then he saw that monster standing at the entrance. Its eyes stared at him. Gus knew he had just experienced something incredible. He would never forget that monster that had saved his life. or the ruins it possesses

Well, actually, I'd like to try writing a novel as well. But in my head there was only a plot. When I actually wrote it and read it myself, I felt terrible. I don't dare bring it up for anyone to read further. Asking why it's bad, if you try reading this short story, you might already know. When I write a novel, it seems strange.
It's like I don't know what to say first or last. So if you see anything bad about me please tell me. I will try to fix it.
