CYOA, a black and white, monochrome illustration in the style of old fantasy gamebooks and vintage sci-fi role-playing games. A modern special forces soldier, fully equipped for combat. He wears camouflage fatigues, a tactical bulletproof vest, a modern military helmet, and dark sunglasses. He carries an assault rifle in his hands and a heavy backpack strapped tightly on his back. The background shows an arid desert landscape with rolling sand dunes and sparse thorny bushes under a harsh sun.
