Manipulative and calculating, those were what the "ROYALS" were, a group of insanely rich teenagers, who didn't have a care for anyone else but themselves. They were the artists, and the rest of the world their paintbrushes, they got away with anything and everything. Their only loyalty was to themselves and no one else, every other person was simply to pass time.

Immediately captivated, she is drawn into a world of cruelty, lies, callousness, and betrayal.

After escaping from the Red Room, Anya Kurozaki somehow found herself on the path to becoming a hero.
