On the Run with a Ghoul!

The Accidental Room Destruction of Tom and the Soul Beast Encounter

Tom was completely beside himself as he looked at the destruction that was once his home. The once cozy and comfortable apartment was now nothing more than a pile of rubble and ashes. He couldn't help but feel like everything was falling apart and he was powerless to stop it.

"Tom, it's just a building," Yulia said, trying to comfort him. "We're both back to being homeless."

Tom's sobs only grew louder as he heard those words. The thought of not having a home was a nightmare come true.

Just then, Erdwin and Mr. Black walked into the room. Mr. Black approached the two of them with a serious look on his face. "I know this may not be the best time, but I have a proposition for the two of you."

Yulia rolled her eyes, already knowing what was coming. "And what might that be?"

"I'd like for you to join the Ghoul Capture Team," Mr. Black said with a hint of excitement in his voice. "You both have demonstrated exceptional abilities, and we could use those skills in our fight against the soul beasts."

Tom's tears slowed as he looked up at Mr. Black. "What do you mean, join the Ghoul Capture Team?"

"It's simple," Mr. Black explained. "You'll work alongside us to capture and banish soul beasts that pose a threat to society. In exchange, we'll provide you with a place to stay and all the supplies you need."

Yulia crossed her arms, looking less than thrilled with the idea. "And what if we don't want to join?"

Mr. Black's expression grew serious. "I'm afraid it's not a choice. The world is in danger, and we need all the help we can get. You two have proven that you have the skills to help us, and we can't afford to waste any more time."

Tom looked over at Yulia, who simply sighed in defeat. It seemed like they had no choice but to join the Ghoul Capture Team. It wasn't what either of them wanted, but it was their only option.

Tom was awestruck as he entered the spacious apartment that Mr. Black had provided them. The sleek, modern design of the furniture, combined with the warm glow of the lighting, created a comfortable atmosphere that made Tom feel right at home.

"This is incredible," Tom said, admiring the view from the large window. "How long are we going to be staying here?"

Yulia, however, was less impressed. She had a feeling that this luxurious apartment was too good to be true. "How long is this going to last?" she asked Mr. Black, who was showing them around the place.

"As long as you want it to," Mr. Black replied with a smile. "I want you to feel comfortable while you're working with us."

Tom and Yulia looked at each other, both of them thinking the same thing. Working with the Ghoul Capture Team was not what they had in mind when they moved into this apartment.

Mr. Black then introduced them to Erdwin, the young man who had helped them earlier. Tom was instantly enamored with him and the two of them hit it off right away. Yulia, on the other hand, was a bit wary of Erdwin, who seemed to be hiding something.

After they settled into their rooms, Tom and Yulia started fighting over which one was bigger. Yulia argued that her room was bigger because it had a balcony, but Tom countered that his room had a bigger closet.

The argument escalated quickly, with Tom and Yulia bickering back and forth. Mr. Black and Erdwin simply looked on with amusement, unable to stop the two of them. Eventually, the argument died down, and Tom and Yulia found themselves laughing at their own foolishness.

"Well, I think I'll leave you two to get settled in," Mr. Black said, trying to hide his laughter. "I'll see you tomorrow for training."

Yulia stood outside of Tom's door, a smile on her face as she remembered the impressive way he had taken down the winged beast earlier. She was curious about the strange energy that had surrounded him and decided to ask him about it. She reached for the door handle when suddenly, she heard screaming coming from within the room. She quickly opened the door and stood in shock at what she saw.

Tom was standing face to face with a soul beast that had taken the form of the room. The furniture was all bent and twisted, and the walls were covered in dark, sludgy substance. Tom was comically crying and throwing his hands up in the air, "I've lost another house already!" he exclaimed.

Erdwin stood in the doorway, a look of confusion on his face as he wondered what was happening. "What is this?" he asked, staring at the room.

Yulia shrugged, "I have no idea. But we have to figure out how to get rid of it before it causes more damage."

Tom let out a sigh, "Well, I guess I'll be sleeping on the couch tonight. I can't believe I've accidentally destroyed another room."
