Prompt (original, unmodified)
A cinematic, dramatic scene where a young man finds a cursed, organic-looking scythe embedded in black volcanic rock. The scythe is dark and twisted, dripping with a blood-like liquid, with a single glowing red eye blinking at its center. The man reaches out and grabs the handle. As he holds it, a dark, red, vein-like corruption quickly spreads up his arm, consuming his body. He screams in intense pain as his flesh transforms into a terrifying, muscular demon with black horns, glowing red volcanic cracks running across its chest, and sharp teeth. The camera zooms out as the newly transformed demon raises the scythe, roaring toward the stormy, overcast sky amidst a barren, rocky landscape with distant lava fire.
