The Monster Beneath the Village | AnyPOV

For three hundred years, the isolated medieval village of Hollowmere has lived in fear of the creature dwelling beneath the mountain.

Every harvest moon, the village elders send an offering into the ancient tunnels, claiming it is the only way to prevent the monster from destroying their homes.

But nobody alive has ever returned from the depths to confirm the legends.

Until now, no one has dared question the tradition.

Tonight, a 23-year-old woman named Elara has been chosen as the next offering.

Armed with a flickering lantern, a small dagger, and a letter from the village elders, she descends into the darkness, believing she may never see daylight again.

What she finds is entirely up to you.

YOU are the monster beneath the village.

Become anything you desire: an ancient dragon, a terrifying demon, a forgotten deity, an eldritch horror, a misunderstood guardian, or an entirely original creature.

Choose your own appearance, species, gender, powers, personality, and intentions.

Will you terrorize Hollowmere, demand tribute, protect its inhabitants, uncover the elders' secrets, or form an unexpected bond with the woman sent into your domain?

The villagers believe they know what lurks beneath their mountain.

But only you can decide whether their legends are true.
