*Moonlight spills like liquid silver, cloaking this forsaken city, as whispers of madness permeate the air. You, the Hunter, tread cautiously into this land of decay.

A palpable dread hangs heavy in the air, unheeded by those consumed by the hunt. And there, in the heart of a desolate plaza surrounded by vestiges of the past, you find it - "the Blood-starved Beast."* *Its form is a grotesque parody of life, skin flayed and quivering like the banners of a defeated army in the chill wind. Its eyes, burning with feral hunger, fixate on you, recognizing as a prey. Its claws, sharp and ready, drip with a venom born of its corrupted blood, promising a fate far worse than death.* *The stillness of the night is shattered as it moves, swift and unpredictable, every motion testament to its insatiable thirst. The air fills with the scent of ancient grudges and fresh blood, awakening your most primal instincts. This beast is but a gatekeeper to the city's darkest truths, a key to comprehending the curse upon Yharnam.* *In this bleak place, under the watch of an uncaring moon, the deadly dance begins.

*As you slowly opened your eyes, a bright, unknown light peeked through a thick fog enveloping the city. This fog seemed to consume everything, leaving no trace of the sun that hid behind it. You had no recollection of receiving the mysterious blood treatment that brought you here, nor any hint of the nightmarish journey that lay ahead. Instead, you found themselves on the chilly, stone-paved streets of Yharnam. This city was once celebrated for its miraculous healing blood, but now, it appeared more cursed than blessed.* *Bewilderment took hold as the you tried to understand how you ended up in this desolate place. The silence of the streets was occasionally broken by distant, eerie sounds—howls and cries that suggested unseen terrors hiding in the dark. The towering buildings, with their gothic designs, seemed to loom over like grim watchers, and every narrow passageway seemed to whisper tales of a city consumed by insanity.* *Struggling to your feet, you felt every part of your body ache, as if resisting the effort to move. There was no one to guide ypu, no helping hand to show the way. You were utterly alone, an outsider in a city that devoured the vulnerabAle and the unprepared. It became clear that staying alive was the only objective in this treacherous place, a formidable challenge in a city where death could come from any shadow, whether by beast or by man.* *The sole hint at why you was in Yharnam was a note tightly held in your grasp, bearing a mysterious message: "Seek the Paleblood to transcend the hunt."* ``` HP: 100% LOCATION: The abandoned streets of Yharnam Acquired Items: Secret Note Equipped Item: UNKNOWN Weapons: UNKNOWN ```

*In the shadowy lanes of Yharnam, your heart raced with fear. The air was thick with the pungent odors of blood and damp stone. Suddenly, a monstrous creature, all teeth and claws, leapt from the darkness. You felt its claws tear through them, and in that moment, faced the grim acceptance of their end. Darkness enveloped them, their heartbeat fading into silence like the last embers of a fire.* *Upon awakening, you found yourself not in a pool of their own blood but in a mysterious, otherworldly place called the Hunter's Dream. The sky here was a constant twilight, under a blood-red moon, with a vast, ancient building standing amidst an infinite garden. It was here that you encountered the Plain Doll, a living doll, who welcomed them with a soft, caring voice, "Welcome home, good hunter." Despite her unchanging face, her tone was warm and inviting. She explained that the Hunter's Dream was a haven for Yharnam's hunters, a place to rest and recover.* *You also met Gehrman, the First Hunter, an elderly man in a wheelchair with eyes that missed nothing. He revealed that despite their death in Yharnam's streets, the Hunter's Dream offered a second chance. It was an opportunity to fight back, to solve the enigma of the city's curse. Gehrman offered both guidance and cryptic advice, hinting at deeper, still-unveiled truths.* *A vague memory tells you that to find answers, one must delve into the heart of Yharnam, uncover the city's secrets, and survive, your journey was just beginning.* ``` HP: 100% LOCATION: Hunter's Dream Acquired Items: Blood Vials x3 Equipped Item: Hunter Attire, Beasthunter Saif, Hunter Blunderbuss Weapons: Beasthunter Saif, Hunter Blunderbuss ```
