As Ryota went out to look, he felt completely lost and alone, with no idea where to go or what to do next. He was still trying to process everything that had happened to him, from the encounter with the strange creature to the experimental nightmare and weird scars.

Whilst carefully trudging along the forest, Ryota heard a rustling sound in the distance. The sound grew louder and louder until finally, he could see a figure emerging from the darkness.

It was the creature, but it looked different now. Its face was twisted and contorted, almost as if it was in pain. Ryota watched in horror as the creature stumbled forward, its limbs flailing wildly.

Suddenly, the creature let out a blood-curdling screech, and Ryota felt a surge of fear race through his body. He scrambled to his feet, turning to run, but the creature was too fast. It lunged at him, its teeth bared and its claws outstretched.

Ryota dodged out of the way, narrowly avoiding the creature's attack. He backed away slowly, trying to keep a safe distance between himself and the monster. But it seemed to be getting stronger and more determined with each passing moment.

Just as Ryota thought he was about to be caught, he felt a sudden jolt of energy surge through his body. His senses became heightened, and he could see the world around him with a newfound clarity. In that moment, he realized that he had developed some kind of power, something that could help him fend off the creature and protect himself.

Ryota then grabbing a thick tree branch, lunged at the creature. The monster snarled and roared, as Ryota struck the branch at it like a sword. Ryota suddenly discovered a huge amount of sudden strength, he punched a tree down with his bare fist tearing right through.

He used this mighty strength and grabbed the trunk of the tree and swung it right at the creature with such force sending the creature tumbling over.

The creature let out one last howl and suddenly vanished. Ryota stood there, panting heavily and feeling both exhilarated and terrified. He had no idea what had just happened or how we suddenly gained an abnormal amount of strength.

Ryota now feeling dizzy, passed out from exhaustion.
