Morning broke with a heavy silence. Ethan sat on the edge of the bed in the safehouse, rubbing his temples. The Witch scrolled through her tablet, reviewing the schedule for tonight's stream. The screen glowed with crimson warnings—tonight's mission would not be simple.
"Tonight," she said without looking up, "we step into a ritual ground. It isn't abandoned, Ethan. Something still lingers there."
Ethan forced a grin, though his nerves betrayed him. "As long as I keep the camera rolling, right?"
She gave him a long glance, then smirked. "As long as you keep the camera rolling."

That night, the live began. The lens revealed a dilapidated open-air stage, once used for plays but now warped by vines and bloodstains. The audience counter spiked—tens of thousands were waiting.

darkowl92 : this place looks like straight out of a horror movie 😱
hunterX : yo cameraman be careful, that ground is cursed for real
bloodyrose : stage of BLOOD?? are we gonna see something crazy?
As the Witch chanted, Ethan adjusted the focus. The stage pulsed faintly, as though something beneath the wood was breathing. Suddenly—
A shadow shot upward.
It passed inches from Ethan's chest, tearing a wooden beam clean in half. Splinters flew everywhere. The audience gasped in chat.

reaperlord77 : IT ALMOST GOT HIM!!!
flower_tea : bro how is he still alive???
maskchan : cameraman invisible confirmed 🔥🔥🔥
Ethan stumbled back, heart pounding. "Holy—! That thing just went through me! If I moved one step earlier, I'd be dead meat!"
The Witch didn't even flinch. "Don't drop the camera."
He clutched the rig tighter, sweat dripping down his forehead. Each time the shadow lunged, some freak accident occurred—a collapsing beam blocked it, a sudden gust of wind shifted its trajectory, or Ethan tripped at the perfect moment. The viewers screamed, spammed, and cheered at his impossible survival.

godhandX : nah, that's divine protection 💀
silverfox_0 : Cameraman >>> Final Boss
At last, the Witch completed her chant. The shadows screamed and dissipated, leaving the stage silent once more.
The camera caught Ethan's pale face, still trembling. "I… I'm alive. Again. By accident."
The viewer count skyrocketed. Donations poured in like a waterfall.
