The first rays of the sun stretched across the horizon, casting a golden light over the vast ocean. Waves rippled gently, but they weren’t alone—something was disturbing the calm surface. Insanity ran across the water with blinding speed, his feet barely touching the surface before moving again, creating a series of miniature explosions with each step. The wake left behind him was like a scar carved into the ocean, trailing miles into the distance.
His eyes were locked on the skyline ahead, where a towering city rose in the distance. Its gleaming structures reflected the sunlight, giving the illusion of a peaceful, prosperous metropolis. But to Insanity, it was nothing more than a playground, a target waiting to be ravaged.
The wind howled in his ears as he surged forward, his body a blur on the water’s surface. His mind was a swirling storm of hunger and rage, a relentless force driving him toward destruction. The ocean was no barrier; it was just another surface for him to conquer. Every step he took sent ripples of power through the water, and the speed at which he moved made him nearly invisible to the naked eye.

“I can smell them,” Insanity muttered to himself, a wicked grin creeping onto his face. “Their fear… their weakness.”
The city grew larger on the horizon, its towering buildings reflecting the morning light. Insanity's eyes gleamed with anticipation. It had been too long since he had fed—too long since he had torn through something more substantial than beasts or trees. His hunger was becoming unbearable.
As he neared the shore, the water below him began to churn violently. The sheer force of his movement sent shockwaves through the ocean, causing waves to rise unnaturally high. Ships in the distance rocked violently, their crews oblivious to the true nature of the disturbance.
Finally, Insanity reached the coast. His body blurred as he crossed from water to land without losing any speed, his feet pounding against the ground. He stopped for a moment, standing on a cliff overlooking the massive city below. It buzzed with life, unaware of the monster that had just arrived at its doorstep.
Insanity's grin widened. He could already feel the chaos that was about to unfold, the screams that would echo through the streets, the destruction he would unleash.
“This is going to be fun,” he whispered, licking his lips.
The sun was now fully risen, illuminating the city in its soft light. But for Insanity, it was only the beginning of a dark day.
