~Special Event: ~
The System Icon buzzed in my mind as I entered the rundown hotel, its incessant hum an eerie backdrop to the desolation.
A cold gust of wind swept through the empty lobby, making shiver, as though the very building itself recoiled at my intrusion. The air reeked of decay, mixed with a sickly sweet scent that had to be the sll of demons, a noxious perfu of malevolence.
Shadows danced nacingly on the walls, seeming alive with evil, twisted shapes that whispered dreadful secrets.
The thirst for blood hung in the air, making my heart race and my grip tighten on my only weapon.
Broken furniture lay scattered around, relics of a ti long gone, now reduced to splinters of nostalgia. The once grand chandelier, now tarnished and broken, swung overhead, casting eerie moving shadows that seed to writhe with a sinister intent.
Weak sunlight filtered through shattered windows, casting a sickly glow on twisted figures strewn across the floor, their contorted forms a testant to the horrors that had unfolded here.

The power of surged through , sharpening my senses and heightening my reflexes.
A throbbing pulse coursed through my veins, like a coiled serpent ready to strike. I needed every advantage I could muster to win; and also not to die.

The pressure weighed heavily on , but I pushed fear aside. There was no room for it in this new world where the battle between humanity and the demonic had beco all-consuming.

Each step brought closer to the heart of darkness, and the bloodlust in the building grew stronger.

Energy surged through my veins, and I prepared my legs to move.
"."
With all my preparations made, and the clock ticking, I officially welcod myself to the Special Event.
"You're up first... 'Rock'."
~WHUUUUUUUUMMMMMMMM!!!!~
Sending my projectile hurtling in one of the many regions I sensed an ominous presence, I instantly heard a loud sound of impact.
~BAM!~

The Energy Rock bounced around like a vengeful spirit, causing as much havoc and damage as it could in the short window of opportunity that was presented to . Because, after that...
"KRRRRRIIIIIAAAAAAAAAARRRRGHHHHHHHH!!!!"

"They look the sa as the ones outside, but... sothing's different." I quickly realized this as I observed their quick movent and bloodthirsty deanor.
These demons had a palpable nace about them, their malevolence etched into every sinew of their otherworldly forms.
Reacting instantly, I summoned the energy within , channeling it into my hand, where my Rock had returned.
The pulsating Energy Rock, my only weapon in this barren world, crackled with power as I unleashed a barrage of shots, each one an explosion of light and fury.
With precision, I directed the energy projectiles toward the encroaching demons, ensuring they t their end before reaching .
The bullet-like Rock obeyed my commands and sent them hurtling back, though the attacks seed nowhere near enough to take them down, even with a couple of hits.
Unfortunately, a few demons broke through the ranks held at bay by my Energy Rock and closed in with alarming speed, their sinister intent clear.
'Looks like I'll have to fight!' I thought, determined to protect myself against this relentless horde.

The explosion sent shockwaves through the room, casting demons aside like broken dolls.
With no ti to dwell on the devastation I caused, I leaped backward, creating distance from the advancing demons.
