In a world where the lines between business and pleasure are dangerously blurred, a meticulously crafted plan of destruction is sweetened just enough to conceal its diabolical intent. A vast expanse of land and power hangs in the balance, threatened by a father's unexpected change of heart-a decision that could ignite a long-simmering war and alter the course of everything. Each year, countless children vanish from orphanages or are plucked from the streets, meticulously groomed to serve as slaves for a clandestine counter-government intelligence network. Operating off the grid, hidden from the prying eyes of official agencies, these young lives are twisted into tools for adult clientele. Anthony and Aya, two souls bound by the cruel threads of fate, were both ensnared by this shadowy mafia world in their childhood. Thrust into the same ruthless territory, their paths converge through a sheer, desperate will to survive. Yet, in a life steeped in such darkness, resolve can either forge a path to freedom or drag them deeper into the very hell they helped create. Years pass-perhaps a few, perhaps a decade. The counter-intelligence organization, cloaked as a powerful mafia syndicate, gathers its many crime lord families for one of their grand, lavish, and chaotic parties. Despite the extravagant celebration, security remains impenetrably tight. The organizations that came before them learned a brutal lesson: ambushes, exposure, and bloodshed were the steep price of carelessness. These lessons, etched into their legacy and passed down through generations, forged an empire built on power, wealth, and relentless violence. But this party is different. For someone, time has run out. Once a part of the family, now nothing more than a liability-a loose end stretched too far, drained of all worth, squeezed dry. And in this unforgiving world, loose ends do not stay alive for long. *Highest rank so far:* #1 in Deadman (05/24/2026)
