You made a split-second decision to flee from the spectral Hlöthver, sprinting through the twisting tunnels in a desperate bid for escape. As you burst out of the burial mound into the night air, relief floods over you briefly before the realization sinks in that the cloaked figure is nowhere to be found.
Alone in the darkness, the faint glimmer of light ahead offers a possible way out, but as you take your first steps towards it, the ground trembles beneath you. A deafening roar fills the air as Jormungandr, the World Serpent, rises from the depths and looms over you, its massive form blocking any hope of escape.
In a cruel twist of fate, you realize too late that the true horror was not Hlöthver but the ancient guardian awakened by your presence. With no chance of survival, you stand face-to-face with the end brought upon by your choice to trust in shadows. The World Serpent's jaws open wide, ready to consume you whole as your tale ends in a final, chilling moment of terror.
Game over
