A single punch from it powdered the fragile parts of the wardrobe, completely destroying the furniture in a matter of minutes.
Kekeke~
Soon, after venting for minutes, the abomination then raised the decapitated head he was holding.
Gripping it with force before directly shoving its corner to his mouth filled with tartar—biting the head's scalp in one bite as a pinkish substance with a mixture of dark decaying flesh, carrying an unprecedented stench, began to flow from the ruined skull.
Crunch!!
Gnawing~
While savoring the taste of decaying flesh within its mouth—chewing the pieces of skull with his bare teeth, creating crunchy sounds in the process—the abomination silently set its gaze toward the bed in the corner of the room, eyes glinting before approaching it with heavy stride.
With eyes filled with cruelty, the abomination, licking the corner of its lips, suddenly gripped the corner of the bed, putting force within its arm before lifting its corner, unfolding the space beneath under its crimson, vertical eyes.
Unfortunately, other than some rats cowering in the corner and some rotting items scattered beneath, the abomination hadn't seen any shadows of delicacy, making it reveal a dissatisfaction on its grotesque head in the process.
Thud-
Releasing its grip, the abomination made a faint growl. Snorting before moving toward the room next door, leaving a trail of long, vicious substance behind.
Although it didn't find anything in the first room, since it had caught the lingering scent of humans earlier, it knew that the delicacy was hiding somewhere on the second floor...
And with its capability, it's only a matter of time before it finds it.
When that occurred, he would be able to vent his cruelty and hunger to his heart's content!
...
Tremble~
Unknown to the suspected malice, behind the broken window, a pair of pale hands, trembling as they tightly gripped the window's corner with force, began moving after the sound of creaking, originating from the next room, echoed through the second floor.
With a faint gasping for air, the character's being, completely soaked in rain and body trembling nonstop, slowly appeared behind the broken window. Bolstering itself up before finally entering the room.
Noticeably, the rosy color on the character's face could no longer be found; instead, its face became extremely pale, followed by its lips that appeared more purple than usual—a testament that its health wasn't in a good condition.
Ding!
[ Upon being drenched in rain and exposed to the cold wind for a couple of minutes, your character's temperature dropped to 31 degrees Celsius... Causing it to experience moderate hypothermia.

"Huff! I'm still alive!"
Gazing at the red notifications that suddenly appeared within the dim screen, flashing with a faint glow as he removed them. Clark couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief, not expecting that the realism of the game was much higher than he had expected.
"Still, hanging beyond the window and letting the soul-chilling raindrops and wind hit the character's physique for a period of time was no less dangerous than being chased by the unknown entity."
If the unknown entity just remained within the room for a single minute, there's a huge chance that the character's strength would give in, reasoning for it to directly fall from the second floor toward the ground floor, creating various injuries to its body.
Moreover, if the fall created a loud sound, then the character's death was certain, causing Clark to start again.
"I need to leave this room as soon as possible.
"However, before that..."
Clark, showing a glint in his eyes, hurriedly clicked the small, almost unnoticeable button within the corner of the dim screen, instantly unfolding the game's inventory that he accidentally clicked due to panicking earlier.
Soon, a space containing 10 slots, 8 of which were already filled with various items, reflected within the dim screen.
Other than the candle and a match that occupied one of the spaces, Clark had no idea about the exact usage of the 7 items. Hence, without hesitation, Clark began touching them one by one—reading their description with curiosity.

"This game... they really should have added a basic guide for beginners."
Feeling slightly angered upon thinking that he might have remained unaware of the inventory's existence if he hadn't panicked earlier, Clark couldn't help but release a sigh of helplessness.
Cursing the game creators within his mind for a while before changing the character's clothes with the one inside the inventory.
Unfortunately, the game's creator seems to exclude the realism of the character changing its clothes—only making the character's physique become covered in faint mist as its clothes naturally change after 5 seconds of waiting...
Making Clark slightly disappointed.
