Part 2/9:
The origins of the Ghost Rider trace back to legends of the Wild West. A century ago, a knight ventured into the town of San Venganza, tasked with recovering a contract for the devil, Mesto, that demanded a thousand impure souls. However, realizing the immense power that such souls could yield, the knight fled and took refuge in sacred grounds, where evil could not reach him. This act of defiance set the stage for a subsequent clash between the forces of good and evil.
