For a moment that seemed to stretch on forever, Creed stared up at the massive Greater Beast Lord towering above him like a living mountain of teeth, claws, and barely contained violence.
The creature's burning eyes fixed on him with the kind of predatory focus that usually meant someone was about to become lunch, and its enormous mouth opened to reveal rows of teeth that glowed like hot coals in a forge.
Most people in this situation would have been paralyzed with terror, their minds shutting down in the face of such overwhelming danger.
But Creed wasn't most people.
He was a hope candidate! He was also the fiancé to a yandere villainess that could definitely one shot this beast!
That had to count somehow, right?!
Instead of fear, he felt something entirely different surging through his body; a wild, electric excitement that made his heart race and his blood sing with anticipation.
This was exactly the kind of challenge he had been hoping for when he entered the VR pod!
