"Huh? Where did it go?!"
Evan's eyes widened in surprise as he realized the monster had vanished, its presence now ominously absent. He had only blinked once, but in that brief moment, the Wormface had seized the opportunity to slink away into the shadows. Evan's heart raced with adrenaline as he frantically scanned his surroundings, searching for any sign of the elusive creature.
Quake!
Evan was abruptly jolted out of his panicked state by a violent tremor that shook the ground beneath his feet. In an instant, his instincts took over, and he shed his apprehensiveness, replacing it with a fierce determination. His features hardened into those of a battle-hardened soldier, and a sharp glint flashed in his eyes, showing that he knew what was to come and that he was ready for it.
[You have activated Quickstep!]
Without a moment's hesitation, he leaped backward with all his might.
"Fuck, that was close."
