He picks up a tankard from the table and says, “Have you taken into account the atmospheric anomalies of this country?”
"Well... not initially. Though, I'm looking into inter-dimensional travel just in case it doesn't work out."

*Hey Dark. Story time.*
*Imagine this scenario: You're a suburban dad in the 1990s watching TV downstairs in the middle of the night with the lights off. The old CRT turns to static and shuts down, and you see the reflection of the Spectre's eyes in the dark of the screen, perfectly still. You know how dangerous Spectres are, and you know you need to get your family out of here. But you're too scared to move from your seat or even look away from the eyes on the television. Lucky you, your mobile phone sits beside your chair, where you left it when you got home from work. You pick it up slowly, and nearly drop it when the spirit suddenly jerks forward before returning to its normal stillness.*
*You catch your breath and call 911. It rings so loud. You stare off at the reflected horror, unable to make out its form through the dust. Finally, after what must have been centuries, the phone picks up.*
*"Hello, Paranormality Hotline, please explain the nature of your situation."*
*"There is a Spectre in my house." You whisper, trying not to agitate the being any further.*
*"Connecting you to the Hunter's Guild. Please hold."*
*...*

*"Hello, this is dispatch. Can you answer a couple of questions for me?"*

*"Hello?"*

*Pretty sick! I love the setting.*
*Thanks, Dark! I'm still developing it with its own unique technology and societal structures.*
*Any critique or comments on the story? I'm gonna be extending it to fit a 20 page manga.*

*I guess this won't be a problem if it is a manga, but a description of the monster would have been cool. I was a little confused by the placement of the monster in the story. At first I thought it was looking at him from inside the TV, but then it jerked forward so I reckon it was outside of it and moved closer. Then you say that I can't make out its form through the dust, but I don't know what dust you're talking about. This would all probably be solved in manga format because I could actually see what was going on.*
*I love the detail about how the phone rings so loud. That's exactly how things like that sound in those sorts of situations.*
*Dang, the Paranormality Hotline has terrible service.*
*I'm guessing there will be more content for the manga version. You'll definitely need more than what you've got if you want to fill up 20 pages.*
*Overall it is a really interesting story. It leaves me wanting to see more of the world and the monsters in it.*
*He was looking at the reflection of the monster on the dusty TV screen. I was trying to avoid that confusion, but I guess I failed at that.*
*And oh yeah, there will be a lot more. Mystery, fear, maybe even a fight.*
*Thank you for the compliments. It's intended to basically be a hook into the setting, giving knowledge about the world without being an info dump.*

*Oh okay. The dusty screen is a great detail.*
*It is really good at being a hook and not a info dump.*
*I had the idea that the dad would be alerted to the threat beforehand by an entity called TRAUMA FM, a superintelligent radio signal that gives highly-targeted premonitions of doom. It can effectively feel with radiation waves, from radio to gamma, and it is extremely creative with the knowledge it collects. It has a backstory, but you'll have to find that out through RP or interaction with my Villain Maker character, who owns TRAUMA FM as one of their imprisoned Spectres.*

*Ooh I really like that. The idea of a radio station giving people premonitions is super cool. Sort of reminds me of the radio station in National Anthem The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys but it is still very different.*
Off in some dark lonely corner of the Autumn Country, the yellowed skull of some long forgotten titan lies nestled between shadowy hills. A red glow shines from out of its mouth and thick black smoke rises out of its eye sockets. The heavy pounding of a metal against metal sounds from inside the skull like a scream choking out of its long dead throat.

She is a little short, quite muscular, and has horns and has a set of powerful bat-like wings. She likes wearing elegant clothing. She gets lost easily and likes watching television static.
yep this is what monster person generator gave me.
