A man, after trying to make a living in a city, has to flee it because it went on a open battle with a neighbor city, before the two were invaded by a monster force. Feeble in nature and weak of heart, the man runs with only the things he could get, which were mineral ores of value.Finally far away from the warring towns, he  feels safe and sets up a camp for the night. Cooking some food before going to sleep, he looks back at the smokes of the previous towns he used to trade in, not aware that an unannouced visitor.

An hour later, he was sleeping inside his tent, not a care in the world. But, a roar was heard in the night. That got him up and scared.He began shaking as he saw a menacing shadow, most likely the one schreeching in the night. It vaguely sounds female, but he is too scared to notice. The shadow runs circles around the tent, as if it knew he was here, and just mocked him with threatning gesture. It's tail was swirling around, pretending to sneak under the tent to try and catch him. That had him very scared as he realize he was in the presence of a monster. It laughs mockignly at his shaking form inside the tent and continues all night as he shoke in fear.

The morning, the monster prompty opens the curtain of the entrance to the tent, to see the face of the man it's been scaring, revealing to be a manticore. But alas, she finds herself in the compagny of a corpse. Horrified, she rushes to him, trying to see whether his heart was still beating. It did not. His feeble heart could not take in all the fear she was putting his through all night and that had prompted a heart attack. She did not notice, becase he was shaking under his blanket...

His first experience with a monster killed him....
