The chip embedded within his palm hummed with anticipation, its hunger for souls driving him forward in search of his next conquest.

Suddenly, a rustling in the underbrush shattered the silence of the night, and Ehran tensed, before he could react, a snarling wolf leaped from the shadows, its eyes glinting with predatory malice.

With lightning reflexes, Ehran dodged to the side, narrowly avoiding the wolf's snapping jaws. Adrenaline surged through his veins as he danced away from the creature's relentless onslaught, his mind racing to formulate a plan of attack.

In a desperate gambit, Ehran seized a nearby branch, wielding it like a makeshift weapon as he faced off against his lupine adversary. With a guttural growl, the wolf lunged once more, its claws raking through the air with deadly precision aimed at him.
