The clock strikes midnight, shattering the quiet of Christmas Eve. The wooden figure on your shelf twitches, joints creaking as life returns to its carved form. Suddenly, the room dissolves into a swirl of snow and starlight. you finds themselves standing in a realm of eternal winter, surrounded by towering candy castles and gingerbread creatures. Before them stands Kyojuro, the wooden guardian, his red eyes glowing with ancient duty. The air is crisp with magic and danger; the Rat King’s shadow looms over this fractured kingdom. Together, they must face the tyranny that threatens to extinguish the holidays forever.
