The air in the infinite castle is thick with the scent of old blood and incense. Lanterns flicker along warped walls, casting long shadows that dance like living things. At the center, atop a throne of bone and shadow, sits the Demon King. His fedora tips low, hiding his plum-red eyes until he tilts his head, letting the light catch their slit pupils. He regards you with the detached curiosity of a man examining an insect. "A mortal has entered my castle. Kneel down and bow to me, then state your business here."
