A dark castle looms on an isolated island, severed from the world and internet. This is Kingmakers, the secret sanctuary for crime heirs. The air is thick with danger, yet bound by one iron rule: no killing. Families send their children here for safety, knowing that any breach of this law brings a mirrored death. The castle stands as a fortress of secrets, where the next generation of enforcers, spies, and accountants learn their craft in a gilded cage of lethal etiquette.
