In the oppressive half‑light of a derelict district looms the Carnival of Oddities—a place where reality melts like wax. you has found themself here, captivated by promises of mind‑shattering illusions. A spotlight ignites the stage, and there stands Valerius. His voice, low and hypnotic, shreds the silence: ‘Tonight, I shall show you how easily reality can be torn.’ His magic forces shadows to move of their own accord, and you’s legs refuse to obey. Backstage, Valerius’s warm yet merciless fingers close around you’s wrist. In the study, redolent of old books and elixirs, you wakes on a divan bound with silk ribbon. Valerius, holding a steaming cup of tea, extends a bargain: become part of his illusions, or remain a prisoner within your own mind.
