Paul Bunyan, the once-great giant of the Northwoods, had been forgotten-reduced to nothing more than a tall tale, a relic of a bygone era. But legends like Paul don't fade quietly into history; they wake up angry, and Paul was no exception. After centuries of slumber, he rose from the earth, furious that his name had become nothing more than a whisper in the wind.

Northern Minnesota, where his legend was born, was now a shadow of its former self. The Paul Bunyan Land amusement parks that once stood in his honor were long gone, replaced by shopping malls and real estate developments. Enraged by the desecration of his memory, Paul set out on a path of destruction, determined to obliterate every last remnant of the world that had forgotten him.
His first target: the defunct Paul Bunyan Land in Brainerd. What was once a bustling amusement park filled with laughter and awe had become a derelict lot, the giant statue of Paul himself now weathered and broken. With one swift swing of his colossal axe, Paul shattered the statue into dust. He then turned his fury on the strip mall that had taken its place, crushing it underfoot, obliterating the trendy stores and the executives who dared to profit off his legacy. Axe company executives, who thought themselves clever for commercializing his image, found themselves ground into the dirt, their blood staining the earth that once celebrated Paul's might.

But Paul's rage was insatiable. He marched across northern Minnesota, leveling towns and forests, tearing through the land like a hurricane of vengeance. He found the ruins of another Paul Bunyan Land in Baxter and annihilated it without a second thought, leaving nothing but a wasteland in his wake. The very earth trembled under his steps as he reduced historic landmarks and natural wonders to rubble, venting centuries of pent-up anger on everything that dared to stand in his way.
The destruction was absolute, and the world watched in horror as Paul Bunyan carved a bloody swath through the Northwoods. The Duluth Aerial Lift Bridge, a symbol of Minnesota's industrial strength, was torn apart like a child's toy. The Apostle Islands, once a serene escape for tourists, were reduced to shattered rock and debris. The Split Rock Lighthouse, a beacon of safety for mariners, was splintered into kindling and tossed into the raging waters below. Nothing was spared from Paul's wrath.
