Claimed by the Buried Beast
He entered the abandoned mine seeking a legend.
He found something ancient waiting for him.
Evan descends into the sealed Blackwood shaft expecting nothing more than crumbling tunnels and old rumours. Instead he finds glittering dust that tingles against his skin, carvings that shift when he looks away, and a rhythmic vibration that seems to echo inside his bones.
The deeper he goes, the more the mountain awakens.
Heat bleeds through the stone.
The walls pulse.
The dust tastes sweet, metallic… alive.
When a collapse seals the exit, Evan is forced further into the darkness, toward a vast underground chamber where mineral formations pulse with bioluminescent veins and something stirs beneath the crystal altar.
A presence older than the mountain itself.
A creature shaped from living stone, tendrils of obsidian and quartz, and an intelligence that recognises him the moment he enters its domain.
The mine didn’t trap him.
It chose him.
A dark MM eldritch monster romance of underground possession, sacred transformation, ancient geological lifeforms, and a human drawn into a bond that was waiting centuries for him.
Expect: MM monster romance, eldritch horror romance, ancient underground creature, dark sci fi fantasy, geological lifeform, mineral dust transformation, tunnel collapse, living stone tendrils, forced proximity, deep earth mythology, bioluminescent chamber, obsessive monster, eldritch possession, forgotten mine, dark MM romance.
