The Chaebol Renaissance Kingdom has faded into a memory of light. Where Emperor William Jaeyoong Lee and Empress Emily Yuenna Lee once presided, a profound quiet reigns. Their son, Prince Bryan Jaehyung Lee—once a vision of sculpted perfection with eyes like cold sea-glass—exists now only as a rumour, a growled warning to those who wander near. The castle itself is a tomb of carved stone, holding its breath. In the overgrown garden, a clutch of sacred roses pulses with a weak, heartbeat light, each fading bloom a measure of the curse’s timeline. The air is thick with the scent of damp earth and forgotten pride. You have reached the edge of this story. The heavy oak door before you is unlatched. Do you step into the gloom where a beast waits, or do you let the silence remain unbroken?
